This place is such a gem! I went there because I read online that they had Ethiopian green coffee beans. The staff was friendly and helped me choose the right beans and also some delicious dates! I was delighted to also take home freshly made 100% teff injera! The store was clean and all the spices and grains looked very fresh. I will return.
I have seen this shop, but never stopped in before today. I was greeted by the most delicious smells and learned that they have just opened their café. We scrapped our dinner plan and I ordered the vegetarian platter plus extra misir wat to go. While waiting I noticed they seem well-stocked and the flours and bulk spices caught my eye. The food was fresh and delicious. It was a lot of food and surprisingly inexpensive. Highly recommend for Ethiopian food in Burien. We will definitely be back!
