Webster’s dictionary defines “boon” as “a timely benefit or blessing.” The Roasted Boon, an Eritrean-owned coffee shop freshly opened in Shaw, lives up to that title.

The vivid colors of their eye-catching decor will invigorate you just as much as a coffee buzz or refreshing sips of smoothie. Even the coffee cups highlight bright patterns and colors!

If you’re an avid coffee drinker, you might see your daily cup as a blessing in and of itself. An especially delicious cup of coffee, though, is something special. With that in mind, coffee lovers will be thrilled to know that The Roasted Boon features a variety of coffee-based drinks that are already accumulating glowing reviews—their lattes, cafe mocha, and caramel frappuccino, in particular.

Prefer tea? Sure. Customers love their Eritrean black tea, with spices similar to chai. Fruit smoothie? Of course—strawberry banana and mango are particular favorites. Hot, iced, or frozen, you’ll find something to sip whatever the weather. Order your drink of choice and pair it with a croissant or other pastry to start your day off right.
