Lovely little spot in Bole with a cozy vibe and friendly service. They have a great selection of cinnamon rolls—definitely the highlight! The americano wasn’t really my favorite, but everything else made up for it. Worth a visit if you’re in the area and love pastries.

I’ve visited this bakery twice now, and overall, it’s been a lovely experience. They offer a nice variety of freshly made cakes, cupcakes, ice cream, and hot drinks, making it a great spot to pop into for a treat or a quick break. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with recommendations. It gives the place a warm and inviting feel. Out of everything I tried, the cupcakes and cinnamon buns stood out the most. The cupcakes were moist and flavourful, and the cinnamon buns, while on the thicker side, were still enjoyable and satisfying. If you prefer a lighter texture, the buns might be a bit dense for your taste, but they’re still worth trying. One item I wasn’t too keen on was the red velvet cake. Unfortunately, it didn’t have much flavour and mostly tasted like food colouring, which was a bit of a letdown. That said, there’s definitely a lot to like here, and I’d happily come back to try more.

Came to try the cinnamon roll. The roll was what I was expecting, the “frosting” was just straight up frothed milk. Cupcake tasted close enough to red velvet though dry. Macchiato was an Addis Ababa macchiato. It’s a cute place to sit, have your morning coffee in the sun, and people watch.

This is a lovely cafe to relax and catch a chilled vibe in the city centre. A wonderful ambience (sunlight added additional value) and very good service. I went for their signature dessert which was the Cinnamon roll, it was absolutely delightful. I would highly recommend you try it if you are in town.
