About Us
Romanat is a village 8 kilometers north of Mek’ele in the Tigray Tegion of Ethiopia. Roman Falls provides a pastoral oasis where family and friends gather to enjoy its bounty.
It is in the spirit of Romanat Falls, coming together to share and enjoy, that Cafe Romanat was conceived. We strive to offer not only what is unique and wonderful about Ethiopian food, but also what is friendly and inviting about Ethiopian culture.
Cafe Romanat is open Tuesday through Sunday from 8am–2pm, serving fresh pastries, light lunch options, Ethiopian coffee drinks, and locally loved café favorites in a casual and welcoming environment with free WiFi, TVs, and a full sound system. The expanded bar program features eight signature Ethiopian-inspired cocktails, local Bay Area beer and cider, artisan small-production wines, and a curated back bar, creating one of Oakland’s most unique food and drink experiences.
