FUFU CREPES

You won’t find these anywhere else. Gluten-free and made from cassava, plantain, and corn flours — inspired by West African flavors and reimagined in the Mission. Savory, bold, and finished with signature sauces like yassa, mafé, and coco.

WHERE WATERS MEET

Inspired by the hidden springs beneath the Dolores area and the spirit of Mami Wata — the revered African water figure of beauty, abundance, and connection — Muddy Waters celebrates the meeting of two worlds. Bold dark-roast coffee beside gluten-free Fufu & Fonio crepes.

ONE CAFÉ. TWO TRADITIONS.
ONE UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.
