Finally had a chance to try 5 Star Cafe. The tuna with red sauce was great! Filling and it was served with warm French bread. The fish sandwich was good too. Crispy Tilapia and good flavor. Good place to find Eritrean cuisine.

Started my day with an ethnic Ethiopian tea, followed it up with a friendly game of 8ball with Ahmed at the pool table. Relaxing atmosphere, was treated as family. Watched Djokovic play against Sinner on television, good times.

This place is so amazing. Do not overlook it just because it’s in a strip mall. They freshly roast and grind their coffee beans for every cup of coffee! The coffee I had was the best I’ve ever had in my life. Their food is also so amazing, they have a lot of great vegetarian options.

I was a bit nervous because I didn’t realize it was an Ethiopian restaurant since my past experience with Ethiopian food hasn’t been good.. but it turns out I’ve never had GOOD Ethiopian food cause I loved everything I ordered here. The bread they use for the fish sandwich is INCREDIBLE. I didn’t know bread could be so good. And I also ordered the Beef Tibs and that was also sooo good. Good amount of spicy and very flavorful! So glad I stopped by on a whim. Highly recommend

Earned the name for sure. Some of the best black coffee I’ve had, and the food was excellent with great service. I will be returning soon!

Menu says $6.99 for roast beef sandwich, was charged $7.67 before tax. Was also charged a 3.25% service charge on top of it all for takeout. Sandwich was lacking and the only good part was the crusty bread. Subway would have been a better option. Also got a slice of cake that was hard and dry. I would not recommend this place.
