Another Wednesday Wanderings took my friend Heidi and I took Cleveland. 

Heidi and I love to try ethnic food.  We found some amazing Ethiopian food at Lucy's.

The have a coffee ceremony that you can take part in. Below is the set up for that.  The decor was nice.

Lucy's opened in 2017.  

Rita was our server, she was so helpful and friendly.   She explained all the food we ate and even had the Chef come out and greet us.

I was thrilled and surprised to find Ethiopian Tea here!  They said it would take about 20 minutes to make.  It did not take that long.  The tea was full of spices.  I added milk and some Ethiopian sugar.  It was really good, it blended really nice with the spices of the food.

 After reviewing articles on line, I see that spices typically in Ethiopian tea would be- Cinnamon, ginger, cardamon, cloves, and nutmeg.  It does have a chai like flavor, but there is definitely a difference.  I did really like it.

This is the front of the building.

Heidi and I enjoying our food.  I got the chicken combination platter and Heidi ordered the vegetarian platter and then we shared the items.

The injera is like their bread.  You use it to scoop of the food.  It was really yummy.

The food was so good.  We are for sure going back!!!  Twice a month they have all you can eat buffets for $15.  I want to go to that to try more food.

What a fun experience to eat with my hands.

I finished it all!  And you can see that injera lined the plate with all the food on it.

Tea Facts..

Joyful Cafe, Iced Chai, Wooster Ohio- Health Point

https://www.facebook.com/JoyfulCafe501/

A place where adults with disabilities can have a place of employment and be a part of the community.

I decided to stop in at the Joyful Cafe at Health Point Wooster.  It was a hot, hot day, so I tried their iced chai.  It was very tasty.  The staff was super friendly and I love that adults with special needs are working here.  

If you are in Wooster, near Walmart, stop in and visit the Joyful Cafe. 

Jitters, Green Tea Matcha Frozen- Lavender, Millersburg, Ohio

https://jitters.coffee/

Another Wednesday Wanderings brings me to Millersburg with my friend Abby.  This is Jitters, it is in a strip mall of sorts.  It is a nice large building.  Very clean and the staff was super friendly.

 

There were lots of seating areas and even rooms were you could have some privacy.  

They even have meeting rooms that you can rent out.  Their largest room holds 100 people and can rent for $50 an hour.  The smallest room is the Oak Room and holds 8-10 people for $10 an hour.  They have four rooms that they rent.  What a nice way to bring in an extra income- I like that.

Nice, clean place.  I think you will like this place, seems like there is something  to eat and drink for everyone here. 

They have a lot of food choices too.  Breakfasts, sandwiches, salads, wraps, sides, kids food, Pastries, and more.

I tried something completely new for me!  I got a lavender Green Tea Matcha Frozen drink.  It was refreshing.  I am not a huge matcha fan, but this did not have an over powering matcha taste.  It was okay, maybe not something I would run out and get again, but it was not bad.

 

They have a drive up too.  I think that is huge for a coffee/tea place.  Who doesn't love the ease of a drive up!

I did finish my drink,  it really wasn't bad, just not my thing.  I am sure if you like matcha you would probably really like this drink.  If  you have had this one, let me know your thoughts.
