    Cousinnnn! Auntie has made dinner, come join! I mean wow. This brings back the nostalgia of eating…read moremy favorite meal- fufu and light soup with goat with family at the table. I have been looking for an authentic Ghanaian restaurant in Baltimore for years and have finally found it. The service is amazing, the owners son is always accommodating and friendly when he answers the phone and always pleasantly greets me when I walk in. Although I'd love to be able to eat here, I'd probably need a wheel barrow to leave so account for this being a to go experience with you favorite pillow and blanket nearby for the nap you'll need. I've been here several times before writing this review because it really felt like I was going to pick up food from aunties house and forgot, WHOOPS. I always get the same thing but my husband has ventured to the Caribbean menu and has gotten oxtails the size of his palm, twice- going above and beyond is clearly they're M O. The goat is always so perfectly cooked, flavorful and more than enough to last the whole meal. They really add a new meaning to Baltimore eating for me and I'm so grateful! I always recommend calling to place your order to ensure it's available because stuff sells out due to its amazingness!

    A place where you can find jollof rice AND Jamaican beef patties? Sign me up!…read more The exterior is unassuming but the interior is bright, clean, and the service is polite and attentive. Kudos to the owner for being such a delight! I ordered jollof rice with chicken and a beef patty (of course). Both were excellent but I have to shower the jollof rice with praise. As a Nigerian American, the struggle to find good jollof is real. I have to say that this Ghanian style jollof was quite good. I won't get into a whole thing about which country has the best jollof but I enjoyed this iteration quite a bit. I highly recommend checking out KSB when you're near Parkville.

There is an art gallery, AYE gallery and altar studio, right above the cafe that always has an amazing exhibit on display as well as several other businesses in the building including tailors, candle/perfumery shop and so much more.

There were many studios within the establishment, and it just so happened that there was a pop-up event happening that day. I learned these events take place every second Saturday, and this one was extra special since it landed on Mother's Day weekend. My favorite studio was the perfume studio. The scents literally lured me through the door. While I was there, more and more people started arriving for the brunch rush, which showed just how popular this spot is. The strawberry iced matcha was delicious! I loved the setup, the atmosphere, and the overall experience. I'll definitely be returning.
