Phoenix coffee shop brings a taste of Ethiopia to the Valley

• A.T. stands for Aisha Tedros, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Abdul. Aisha, who is originally from Eritrea, opened her store in 2013 so people "could experience both the rich flavors and beautiful traditions of Ethiopian coffee."
• Aisha buys green coffee beans directly from Ethiopian farmers and roasts them in Phoenix.
• The shop also offers a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony for $20.

Our thought bubble: We decided to give A.T. Oasis a shot and were pleased with what we found.

• Both of us ordered the ginger coffee, which added a unique flavor to a traditional cup of Joe.
• Jeremy: I was impressed with my vegetable and lentil sambusa, a type of savory pastry.
• Jessica: I quickly devoured a pecan scone that had a delicious glaze.
