Wubet, the owner, is amazing, she treated us like royalty, telling us all about each item she served us on the platters and all about the Ethiopean culture - and everything was so delicious! I was telling her how much I love lentil soup and without saying anything she brought me a complimentary cup - so sweet and thoughtful. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful and filling. The coffees were delicious too, spiced perfectly in the Ethiopian traditional way. We didn't have pastries but they looked fabulous. And the prices! Wubet can be charging so much more for everything you get but instead she cares so much about the community and wants to treat the students, teachers, and local workers in the community with low priced and high quality food (major deals here specifically for students and teachers!). The cafe is gorgeous with art all over the walls - bright, colorful, and vivacious to match Wubet's personality.
Third visit to Guzo Cafe today! The owner is so friendly and it always smells great walking in as she’s been cooking. I’ve had their delicious iced tea and Ethiopian chai (dirty), and today enjoyed the lentil soup & pastries with a friend. The lunch special can’t be beat for $10 and on 100% teff injera. Veg and meat options both tasty & hearty. The option to dine indoors, outdoors, or hop over to the park is perfect for the spring weather. Excited to keep coming here whenever I’m sitting in Hawthorne park.
BEST CAFE IN THE CITY! Lovely vibes, wonderful people, AMAAAAZING drinks and food. Was treated so kindly and they took such good care of me. Stopped in for a chai in the morning and ended up coming back for lunch the same day! Highly recommend! Much love <3
