She really is a believer of building community and that can be seen in the way that she treats her customers and also is visible by the people walking through the door of her cafe. I have never had such a positive experience in regard to feeling so welcome and so happy while somewhere. My friend Taylor and I chatted with the staff and every customer. What an experience! All of the food and beverages were freshly prepared. Allergies were taken care of along with other dietary restrictions and preferences. They have options for GF, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan and more. WOW! Everything we tried was amazing. It was my first time trying Nigerian food and I was super impressed! Everything was flavorful and unique. I will be back again for sure. This was an experience unlike any other!

The woman working couldn't have been nicer and all of the customers were beyond friendly. For drinks my friend and I tried the Chapman and zobo, both were good on their own but the nice woman working convinced us to mix them together and WOW, highly recommend. We also tried a blueberry latte which was tasty. For food we ordered puff puff, plantain waffle, sardines and eggs, and vegan village rice bowl. We finished it off with a slice of banana bread. Everything was so flavorful and not overly salty and not oily. The puff puff were so light and fluffy! I can't wait to come back and try more things. We got a lot of recommendations from customers coming in... definitely coming back for jollof rice and pepper soup! Side note: there is construction going on in front of this business. Don't let it deter you, there is a lot of street parking nearby and you can park at the bank across the street while the construction is going on!

I am glad there is a Liberian restaurant within 30 minutes of my home. As an honorary Liberian (my…read morewife was born and raised there), I enjoy some of the traditional meals. Overall the food did not disappoint. The palm butter and cassava leaf were both very good, and they gave me plentiful rice to compliment. The kala (slightly sweet fried dough balls) were also delicious. The only thing that disappointed me was the plantains. They were tough and seemed stale. I love plantains so this was a let down, but otherwise it was good eats.

The nasty bitch at the counter has a fucking attitude she messed up my order with her hot spicy…read moreeven though I told her no spice in my food dummy did it anyway. If you can't follow ppl orders don't work get someone with good memory skills. I ordered spinach and fried chicken she burned the chicken I asked how much for a large spinach $15 I saw what she thinks a large should be it was very small so I said thats not a large dummy turn around and said that's her large so I'm done with African food very very expensive so call large knowing it's small unreal my money is too important to waste it on garbage.

Devastated to learn It's closed. It's a huge loss Hoping it re-opens somewhere else soon.read more

On October 18, 2025 and November 15, 2025, a women led business called suis had their pop-up at The…read moreVillage PVD. The first time I randomly came across the pop-up sign outside and couldn't resist not going in and checking it out. After that, I started to follow them on instagram, @suis.ri. suis offers limited quantities of roll cakes, mini cake boxes, shio pan, choux, and beverages. I've had their jasmine milk matcha and the salted cookie butter matcha. Both drinks are DELICIOUS! The jasmine smell and flavor really comes through and I've gotten it both times I've visited the pop-up. The salted cookie butter matcha is a must get if you like/love speculoos. I've also tried the dubai chocolate tiramisu, biscoff cookie tiramisu, and mango coconut sticky rice mini cake box. They're all SOOOO good and packed with flavors!!! I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order from suis. On pop-up days, suis usually offers a free item with purchase for the first 12 customers so get in line early. It is definitely worth the wait! All the items are limited quantities so they do run out. Be sure to get there early and prepare to queue up. The line moves and you'll have time to look at the menu on your phone.

I later realized it seems like more of a takeout restaurant. I ordered the peanut butter soup with goat and a side of fufu. I was expecting the peanut butter soup to have more of a peanut butter taste, but it did not - it tasted more like a stew, but still delicious! It was my first time trying goat so I wasn't sure what to expect. I really enjoyed it, the meat was super tender and flavorful. The fufu complemented the meal nicely as well. The person taking our order, as well as the chef were super nice. The chef came out and made sure we were enjoying everything. Overall a very good experience. Prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend for takeout versus dine-in.

We both enjoyed our teas. There are some food options as well, but we were just there for some tea and conversation. I didn't see anyone smoking hookah, but overheard a customer ask an employee if they could and she said yes. Service was good as well.
