Rehoboth Cafe

What is Rehoboth Cafe? Anchoring an unpretentious stretch of East Danforth Avenue near Main Street, Rehoboth Cafe operates as a warm, dual-purpose Ethiopian and Eritrean cafe and neighbourhood dining room. The space is casual, welcoming, and stripped of pretense, with standard table seating set up for everything from solitary morning coffee breaks to lingering family meals.

Rehoboth Cafe Menu & What to Order Morning visits call for traditional comforts like Rehoboth Ful, stewed fava beans dressed with aromatics, or Genfo, the dense grain porridge filled with spiced clarified butter and berbere. Later in the day, the kitchen hits its stride with TIBS Firfir—tender beef tibs simmered with shredded injera that drinks up the rich, savoury juices—alongside deeply spiced Kitfo and vegetarian-friendly Shiro Wat. Wash it down with one of the cafe's standout cappuccinos, pulled strong and smooth in classic East African fashion.

Know Before You Go Seating is walk-in only with a relaxed pace, so expect a warm welcome rather than rigid table turns. The cafe is an easy walk east from Main Street subway station and Danforth GO, with operating hours wrapping up relatively early at 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7:00 p.m. on Sundays.
