Walking distance from Augsburg U, friendly service. When asked what I was eating (I decided to get what a customer got before me), cashier took time tell me about malawah...sweet Somali pancake (warm, sweet delicious!). Coffee nice and strong!

I had an excellent cup of coffee. This is a place that feeds the local Somalian community therefore authentic food is served. Not much attention is given to the visual aspect of the restaurant. But I didn't really notice because we were all watching the World Cup.
