Kuda Juice

Top choice in Aksum


This cool little juice bar has free wi-fi, a modern feel and terrific juices. Ask for its special of the day – we loved the mango, avocado and guava – or try the shek (juice with milk). It was in the process of expanding into an outdoor area next door, so chances are it's even better by the time you get here.
