    One of my favorite places for spices. Terrific, fresh, and ridiculously cheap. The injera is terrific too.

    I really like this place, however, there is a older gentleman there that is not very polite in person or over the phone. The injera here is excellent it costs 10 for $8. If the older gentleman was more friendly, I would definitely give 5 stars.

    The young woman that works here and the young gentleman is very friendly and nice. If I always encounter them then five stars for sure!

    I was planning to make Ethiopian food for dinner so I happened to run into this convenience store. I found all that I was looking for, from the spices to the Injera, I felt certainly prepared. The woman was extremely helpful in explaining the process of cooking certain dishes, and guided me in which products were necessary for the dishes I wanted to cook. I was surprised to find that fresh Injera is baked and sold there. Also, the Injera I bought was warm which pleased me. Definitely recommend others to stop by this place!

    I am on a quest for the at-home makings of Ethiopian food. This small store fits the bill. I'm not sure if I'm ready to purchase 50 pounds of teff flour. But they do have ready made injira bread and Ethiopian spices in 1 quart sizes, somewhat large. They also have lentils and green coffee beans. Most fascinating is their selection of Ethiopian CD's and DVD's, I have to do more research on breakout Ethiopian pop!
