Mella Café

The 7 Best Ethiopian Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"A menu full of pastries, coffee, waffles, and gelato might make you think those are the main reasons to check out this Edgewater spot. But it's actually their great Ethiopian and Eritrean food that distinguishes Mella from your typical neighborhood cafe. The breakfast sampler is the best way to try a bunch of dishes. It comes with a fuul topped with feta, berbere-spiced scrambled eggs, potato salad, fitfit with chewy pieces of stir-fried kitcha, and loaves of French bread. It’s a lot of food, so bring a friend to split it while hanging out in the brightly lit space or on their front patio." - john ringor
