    Coffee and lunch menu. They have a huge selection of teas behind the register.
    Timesha P.

    This is a great lunch option for people who enjoy Ethiopian food. The veggie bowl is my personal fav. You get 3 choices of sides and a choice between beet root and tomato salad. Today, the good tasted pretty poor. The flavors were bland and the injera was mushy. It was disappointing as the food has been tasty for awhile now. I hope it was just a one off thing. On another note, I think the inside is vibe.

    We just like the uniqueness of this place. It's behind Goorsha Ethiopian restaurant on Main Street and offers coffee drinks and light bites. We stopped in on a Saturday morning and were surprised that it was empty. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches and two chai drinks. The server (we think a co-owner) was very pleasant and chatted with us about their decor and their menu. We chose to sit outdoors. Their breakfast sandwiches come with a unique spicy sauce and were amazing. We're looking forward to coming back and trying more options. We understand they also occasionally feature live music.

    Very nice concept with tea, coffee service, cocktails and hookah. Service was great, tea was superb.

    Outdoor space

    Wow! If you haven't tried Gojo, move this gem to the top of your list of places to try next. The outdoor dining area was spacious yet cozy, and pup friendly. We had a protein bowl with beef, cabbage and beets (5 stars), and a panini with portobello and avocado (5 stars). We will definitely return, and my only regret is not trying this place sooner!

    I LOVED the vibe at Gojo. There was a very good amount of covered outdoor seating in their patio area and it's decorated very nicely. I don't quite remember the name of this bagel sandwich, but it was AMAZING! The Ethiopian red paste that comes on this sandwich really sets your taste buds off... in a good way. The owner is also very nice and provides excellent service.

    Gojo is an offshoot of Goorsha that's open during lunch hours. It's such a cute little spot that I'm surprised more people who love Goorsha don't know about. We stopped in on a weekday for lunch and it was very quiet. I got the ItsWat sandwich (mushroom and avocado), which was a little underwhelming to be honest. Flavorful, but next time I'd definitely go for the bowls. Someone I was with got the vegan bowl and it looked so good (more like the dinner entrees at Goorsha, if you're familiar). We also got the Jebena coffee ceremony, which was really just coffee served in the traditional Ethiopian coffee pot. Was very good though! Overall, a great place a grab a quick lunch and catch up with a friend.

You can tell the quality of the drink and beans Omie's is high quality as soon as you taste it. I absolutely loved their fun and creative seasonal menu. I ordered the pumpkin pie brown butter latte, and it was so tasty. Normally, I have to ask coffee shops to reduce the sugar, but this drink was perfectly balanced. In addition, Omie's sells baked goods to complement your drink. There was a selection of tasty treats to pick from. One of my friends got a HUGE cookie, which looked absolutely delicious. As a fair heads up, parking and inside seating areas are limited. However, Omie's has done the most to maximize the space to make it a cozy place to sit. Pro tip- there is a little more seating to the left of the bathrooms, and there are several comfy spots interspersed throughout. Come for the good coffee, good vibes, and lovely service staff. I definitely know that I will be back!

Outside of the main building and next to the butterfly house and train depot on the museum campus you'll find this little cafe. Several types of wraps and salads are available as well as fountain drinks and treats. Bathrooms (with changing stations) are next to the cafe. However if you need to use the changing stations and can wait I would suggest the main building second floor for the large private family bathrooms. Don't expect anything exotic at the cafe but what is here is good and portions that will fill you up so you can enjoy the rest of your day at the museum. I used to consider it a bit over priced a few years ago until the rest of the world became over priced so now this is just normal priced. If there's no seating at the cafe and it's nice out there are picnic tables a bit further down to the right.

So are all the sandwiches and paninis we've tried. The sides are delicious as well, from healthy options like fruit salad and green beans to traditional fries. Indoor seating is closed at the moment, but there is a lot of outdoor seating at the front and side of the cafe. If those areas are full, there are picnic tables close by at the start of the Dino Trail.
