Shihan Ful at Alem’s Coffee

Alem’s Coffee is an Eritrean cafe in Oakland with the best shihan ful in the bay. Shihan ful is dish made of ground fava beans, tomatoes, red onion, feta, olive oil, and serrano peppers. For years, enjoying a bowl of ful has become one of my favorite ways to spend a Sunday morning with the family.
