One of the best Ethiopian spots in the city! The service was warm and friendly, and the food was phenomenal. Both the beef and lentil Sambusa were amazing. We loved the Injera with Yebeg Tibs (spicy lamb, incredibly well-seasoned) and the veggie combo (especially the lentils, collard greens, and chickpeas). We will definitely be coming back!

Terrible experience. Service: 0/5 Ambiance: 0/5 Food: 3/5 My partner and I were so excited to try this restaurant, as we love Ethiopian food. We ordered one drink and the vegetarian platter as well as Doro Wat (chicken dish). The drink never came even though we asked multiple times. There were no napkins on the table. We asked multiple times for napkins since your hands get very dirty eating Ethiopian. They finally came the third time I asked, but it was too late since we already finished the meal. Side plates never came either even though we asked twice. The food had good flavor but half of the vegetarian dishes were cold, though they've been served at every other Ethiopian restaurant we have been to. We had a 25% Entertainment Book coupon that the server refused to accept. He stated it had to be used during the week, we came on a Sunday, though the coupon didn't state that anywhere in the fine print. After going back and forth with the server he agreed to give us 10% off. Needless to say, we will not be coming back to this establishment as there are many other Ethiopian restaurants on the city that have much better food and actually provide service.

We had an amazing dinner at Michuu. We got the veggie/vegan combo for 2 (pictured). Their injera is also 100% teff and gluten free, which can be hard to find. I think this is one of the best Ethiopian food and injera I've ever had (and I've been to places all over the country). The service was also outstanding, very friendly and even offered us some delicious honey wine to try!

Michuu Ethiopian's cuisine is scratch-made with love!! "Wow, wow, wow!" Michuu opened in early May, and there Lemu cooks the way she learned as a girl. She makes everything from scratch. Her vegetarian spreads are fresh and vibrant: berbers-spiced lentils, chopped collards; or imperial, purple-colored beets. Ours surrounded large portions of chicken perfectly spiced Honestly, this is the best Ethiopian food I've ever had, and I've had an awful since this is my favorite cuisine!!

Excellent food and service and the BYOB is a huge plus. Server was also very helpful in dealing with food allergy questions.

Fabulous food, friendly service, reasonable prices. I doubt I've ever had better Ethiopian food. Off the beaten track, but well worth it.

There's a fair amount of seating considering the size of the place. Wasn't able to get a spot today unfortunately, but we did go at a busy time on a Sunday morning. I got the honey and lavender specialty latte with soy milk. I get mixed feelings about lavender - sometimes it tastes pretty soapy to me. I thought this was delicious! I'd definitely order again and recommend it. Overall, definitely recommend this spot especially if you're able to get a couch or table to enjoy the space!

Even though we were seated at a regular table, the place had a comfortable vibe and it was easy to settle into. The counter women were efficient, nice, and filled our orders promptly. They did give my friend the wrong size coffee at first, but corrected it quickly and without any problem. One thing I didn't love: my cappuccino was served in a Styrofoam cup while we were staying there. If you're drinking in, it really should come on a ceramic cup and saucer. Save the Styrofoam for takeout! The best part was that we stayed for a couple of hours and no one hovered over us, or made us feel like we had to leave. As for the coffee itself, it was just okay. Not bad, but not memorable either. That's a shame too, because the space is so comfy. Still, there are plenty of other coffee spots on the North Side - and this just gives me a reason to explore others in the neighborhood.

It's creamy, sweet but not too sweet, and overall a great flavor profile. It seems like a great place to study or work as well. You can often find many people working diligently (and relatively quietly) so the ambiance is great. I don't often write such low of a review but the one star is for the staff. On most occasions I've only encountered the friendliest of people - in fact the first time I visited and had a hard time choosing a drink, the individual at the register was so kind and helped me make a choice based on what I typically enjoy at other coffee shops. However today I had the absolute WORST experience where the barista was so rude to me after they took my order wrong. All I wanted was the coffee I ordered and calmly explained how there must have been a mix up. In return I was basically shamed multiple times for asking for the right coffee instead of the one they tried to give me and I was just baffled by how passive aggressive the staff member was. My family and I will not be returning to this location again. Go for the coffee and the vibes but just be extra careful to triple check your order is taken correctly at the register.

Pretty standard coffee place. Homemade syrups! Don't taste sage much though. Slightly spicy because…read moreof the black pepper which was interesting. Overall, a good spot to get a coffee if you're in the area. Hipster vibe environment which was cool, very artistic with friendly staff.

The ube flavor is both sweet and nutty and the mousse topping was light and delicious. The main squeeze is lemon cake filled with lemon curd, cream cheese frosting, and a buttercream lemon on top. Both were incredible, but my favorite was the lemon! I loved that the lemon flavor was light, and the cream cheese frosting balanced it out really nicely. The space is so cute inside! It's also a lot larger than I was expecting. We grabbed a seat at one of the tables inside to enjoy our treats. I will definitely be back with my toddler for a cupcake date soon!
