6 Places to Find Great Ethiopian Coffee in Addis Ababa

Since Ethiopia is the ancient birthplace of coffee, it makes sense that coffee culture is a big aspect of life in the capital, Addis Ababa. There are all types of coffee shops that cater to all types of tastes and preferences, from authentic old-school joints, to modern American-style emporiums. But wherever you go, you're bound to get a quality cuppa joe, and meet loads of Ethiopians who are as enthusiastic about coffee as you are.

Harar Coffee

Harar Coffee, known as Mokarar Coffee to non-locals, serves coffee and also roasts its own so you can grab a fresh cup or buy a fresh bag of beans to take home. The atmosphere is humble and cozy at this local favorite, but with that simple décor comes simple, affordable prices and high-quality coffee. Belay Zeleke Rd., Tel: +251 11 111 2783

Café Choche

Café Choche opened in 2011 in the historical railway building. With a lovely gated, cobblestone patio covered in potted plants, it's a great place to sit for hours with a book. La Gare Station, Tel: +251 910 12 25 15
tomoca

To.mo.ca

To.mo.ca is the oldest coffeehouse in Addis, having been founded in 1953. The antiquey-looking interior reflects this with wood-paneled walls and vintage knick-knacks hanging everywhere. This coffee shop is Italian-style, meaning you don't have great big couches and loads of tables to linger at for hours -- you drink your java standing up at tall tables and chat with your neighbor. Don't forget to buy some Harar beans to take home with you. Wavel Street, Tel: +251 11 111 781
kaldis coffee

Kaldi's Coffee

With multiple locations around town, this place is known as "the Starbucks of Addis." They even have a similar green circular logo. Kaldi's offers coffee that's less satisfying than mom-and-pop shops or famous places like To.mo.ca, but better than Starbucks. And like the famous Seattle-based chain, its stores have an inviting atmosphere where you can sit for a while, chat with friends, or conduct an informal business meeting.Numerous locations around Addis

lime-tree

Lime Tree

This hip spot not only brews a mean cup of joe, but some tasty international breakfast and lunch items as well. You can sit with your laptop and surf the net (when the Wi-Fi works) while tucking into a macchiato, a glass of their famous lime mint juice, and a plate of enchiladas. Two locations in Addis
