Fantastic coffee shop on Colfax. Menu might seem small, but the key is to sit in and enjoy a cup of coffee with their offerings of Ethiopian breakfast. Had a cup of drip coffee with ful. Drip coffee is the easiest way to taste the single-origin beans, and don't be afraid to add some sugar or honey to taste how drastically it changes the flavor profile! Ful is a fava bean dish served with fresh veggies on top and crusty bread as a scoop. The light spice, clean veggies, and toasty bread all come together in a great intro to Ethiopian cuisine if injera or spicy dishes are intimidating. Space is roomy and tastefully decorated, and their great service could be mistaken for a sit-down restaurant. Come and support them!

Beautiful and thoughtfully decorated space on what otherwise feels like the never-ending Colfax BRT construction nightmare. Bring a friend and share a delicious Ethiopian breakfast and espresso drink. This is a unique and special spot that deserves to thrive. Highly recommend and will be back.
