Finally was able to get Ethiopian dinner from Addis. No pics cause I was really hungry. Once a month I believe they do this. Can't wait until December, food was great, lentils, veggies and savory. When it comes around again jump on it. Addis you are great and in my neighborhood.

This is a small cafe in a neighborhood within walking distance from the train station and close to Rush Oak Park Hospital. They opened early at 7 am which was a convenient option for me before I needed to head to the hospital. I ordered one of the special coffees, rose water latte. I had it iced. It had a strong rose scent so I liked it very much. Usually flavored coffees don't have their claimed flavors so I was happy to try the rose water latte there. I also got Savory waffles because the pictures on here look good. The waffles did taste amazing. I liked all the healthy ingredients (avocado, bell pepper, etc) included in the waffles. However, I wish they could have told me there's blue cheese in them because I dislike blue cheese. They did ask for my preference for spicy level. The Savory waffles were barely spicy. I was going to order one of their special foods but they said it's spicy so I didn't order it. 1 star off because it was very hot in there and NO GUEST WIFI. I wonder if the AC was working while I dined in there. I would come again in spring or fall when it's not too hot or too cold.

Came to Addis Cafe on Saturday afternoon. We ordered an Iced Matcha 16oz ($6), 12oz Cold Brew ($4.25 I think), and Savory Waffles ($11). Loved the cold brew especially on the almost 80F day today, and the savory waffles were okay but were even better with some hot sauce (I'm the person that drowns everything they eat in hot sauce, so this is just a 'me' issue lol). Service was fantastic! All in all, this is a great neighborhood cafe to hang out and study at in Oak Park!

I am a Michigander but I often visit the area with my parents. I affectionately say my dad is a dad dasher because he dashes Addis Cafe food to me. But I finally stepped foot in their restaurant. Cozy space with great energy - toys for little ones to play with and spaces for people to do remote work. Service was with a smile!! So happy with what I ordered - the caramel waffles and a latté.

Just go here. The service, ambiance, food and drink is amazing. I live on the south side of the city and will drive here to get my daily fixings of deliciousness.

Day 1 of my Oak Park Coffee Tour! Finding all the best spots for a cup of Joe. My go-to coffee order is usually an iced matcha, but this place had so many unique coffees that I felt I had to try something different. I got their cayenne mocha, which was absolutely beautiful. A lovely mocha with just a hint of spice, a perfect balance of sweet and a kick. I also got a scone, which was yummy. Buttery and with pieces of craisin which I always appreciate. I sat at a table by the window and did some work. The one thing is that the service was a bit slow, I waited around 10 minutes to get my 2 things, but it was a pretty busy day so understandable. This is a great place to work, but it also looked popular with families, who seemed to enjoy all the yummy waffle flavors they had. There is also a cute outside area which I did not take advantage of (hot coffee on hot day dont mix well) but will have to check out in the future. Lovely jams, coffee, and people- what a great way to start my Coffee Tour! Thanks Addis!

I enjoyed my time as Addis. On the corner on oak park avenue, Addis spices things up with their Ethiopian flare to coffee, non caffeinated beverages and breakfast dishes. Walking in, it appears to be a large space. However it's a smidge crowded in regards to how they set the tables. I ordered the chechebsa dish for $8,00 and it's a Ethiopian heavily spice flatbread dish sprinkled with honey. I never had it before but this was really good. A little dry for my liking but i had the berry smoothie to wash it down. I will be returning to try other dishes.

Addis cafe: like no other! Best Ethiopian coffee (pour overs, espresso drinks, seasonal drinks, muffins, home made scones, savory and sweet waffles, and more). My favorite neighborhood cafe. Favorite drinks: honey cinnamon latte, charcoal latte and house made chai. Favorite foods: savory waffle, cinnamon roll waffle, scone compote, and red velvet muffin.
