Quick info
About Kaffa Coffee
Kaffa Coffee is an Ethiopian coffee shop in London, at 1 Gillett Square. By day it runs as a restaurant and coffee shop, serving vegan Ethiopian dishes with injera alongside Ethiopian coffee. Some nights the space turns into a party venue, so the same address covers a daytime meal and an evening out. The ginger and lemon tea is made to order rather than from a teabag, which gives non-coffee drinkers a fresh option. Kaffa Coffee is open Monday to Saturday and closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the injera, the spongy Ethiopian flatbread served with a spread of vegan dishes, which several call tasty, fresh and healthy, and a few say was their first taste of the cuisine. Close behind is the drink list: the ginger and lemon tea is described as blended to order rather than made from a teabag, while others praise the Ethiopian coffee, a milky coffee to go, and fresh fruity drinks. One reviewer also enjoyed an Ethiopian beer with a slight sweetness. Diners repeatedly mention friendly service and a welcoming owner, along with prices they call fair. The terrace in the square earns its own mentions, including one reviewer who ate under a parasol while it rained. No complaints appear in the reviews. One diner closes on the walk-in ease of the place, noting there was no waiting time.
