For weeks after I moved to University City I told friends about this place called “Kafka Crossing.” OK, so I read the sign wrong, let it go. Kaffa Crossing is either a really good Ethiopian restaurant disguised as a coffee shop, or a good coffee shop disguised as a restaurant. It’s Ethiopian either way. As a coffee shop, it’s great for drinks (the coffee is good and the smoothies will put a dreamy smile on your face) although it is light on eats from the counter. They do have vegan cookies and muffins, and, my favorite, injera bread lentil wraps; but that’s about it. Ah, but then Kaffa is a restaurant too. The service is sometimes pressed but a) the food’s inexpensive ($6-11 for entrees) and b) a friend with a more discerning palate than mine proclaimed his veggie dish “the best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had!” So there ya go. The food’s really good. Plus, it’s BYOB with the occasional singer/songwriter on Saturday nights. Evenings also often draw community group meetings. So go, eat, drink, groove.
