So glad I stumbled across this cafe! I am staying near U of M, and wanted a place where I could get breakfast and coffee, which Cafe Jote most definitely delivered on! I ordered the fuul and an iced latte, both of which were so good and well priced. The fuul (stewed fava beans topped with tomatoes, onions, peppers, & yogurt) especially was delicious and very filling--definitely would recommend trying! The ambiance of the cafe is really lovely as well--the interior is really bright with high ceilings and a few tables, and the outdoor patio was a great place to read and sip on my coffee. Finally, Jote himself was fantastic!! He was so sweet and made sure my food and drink were prepared to my liking. A must stop if you are in the area--there is a full espresso menu and many other foods that I'm sure are fantastic.
This place is truly a hidden gem. The owners were really welcoming, the service was great, the food was delicious, and the prices were good. They have grab-n-go Ethiopian lentils with injera and a full coffee bar complete with strong espresso and the option of oat milk. I had no problem finding vegan and gluten free options here.
After being in workshops all week and dying for decent coffee, I stumbled across this gem! Great coffee, will go out of my way to come here if I’m ever in Minneapolis.
Delicious Ethiopian food and coffee. Generous portions. The owner is very attentive and friendly. Great aromatic atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Cafe Jote is small and cozy with a beautiful interior and a comfy outdoor dining area. Their coffee is good and strong. I had a latte. The customer service here is phenomenal and I felt very welcome. I would highly recommend Cafe Jote if you're looking for coffee in the West Bank area.
