If you find yourself wandering around town, or walking through Mamilla, we highly recommend popping over to Metaphora Art Cafe for a delicious cup of coffee served up with good vibes - and sometimes a little cup of peanut m&ms!  The owner has been in Miluim pretty much since October 7, and his family has kept the Cafe going. He’s been supporting us, now it’s our turn to support him!
