Customer Reviews
Rolled up to Sankofa Café to catch up on some work mid-day, and it’s hands-down the best setup I’ve found for getting things done. There’s a loungy space, private booths, and more than enough charging spots for laptops or gear. It gives you that Starbucks pre-COVID feeling for remote workers—but with more character. The staff were super welcoming, and the food and drinks were solid. I went with an almond croissant and a chai latte—both hit the spot. Comfortable, well-designed, and friendly. Great pit stop for anyone who works on the go.
First and foremost the space is nice,cozy and aesthetically pleasing. Love the fact that there’s free Wi-Fi and outlets on and near the tables. Love the Ghanaian representation. However, as for what I ordered: a large hibiscus ice tea… All I’ll say is the hibiscus was not in the room ( no where to be found to be exact). It was as if I was drinking food coloring water. Usually hibiscus ice teas is my safe choice, due to the fact that I have a high standard for coffee. Would I come again, yes for the atmosphere, would I give the hibiscus tea a second chance?… No! I did hear their banana breads are good. Maybe I’ll try that next time.
I finally got to this place and it’s absolutely lovely in every way. The space is so cozy yet roomy. There are different types of seating that lend to hanging out with a friend or to do your work on a laptop. The drip coffee struck a nice balance between being fruity and smooth. Then I order an iced matcha with skim milk and it was delicious. I look forward to visiting often.
I love a really good coffee shop/cafe! This one is super special. This place is so well designed and has the absolute best coffee. I am serious about quality and they get it right every time. It's great for cozy meetings or working solo or to rent out for events. Good for kids too! There is easy parking too. Love this spot!!
I had a great time. I met my niece and brother for coffee and conversation. Great atmosphere and music and coffee . Victoria made my lavender coffee to perfect. They were very professional and friendly and had great conversation. This is my new go-to chill spot.
