I know this place for about 16 years. I feel great when I am here. The taste of the cakes are always amazing. They have a cake called gojo, it is amazing. You can read a newspaper, you can rent the newspaper from the gate, you can find every newspaper.

Not a lot of options in their menu but it's a nice spot to grab a cup of something hot in the heart of old piassa

Such a classic patisserie in the heart of Addis. Has been around for more than 60 years, the place is unassuming and not fancy, but the pastries are simply incredible. They are most famous for their little sandwich cookies. If you're in the area it is a must to stop by
