Welcome, hungry and thirsty ones, to Kaffa!

Welcome to Kaffa Cafe

A place where tradition meets community. For over a decade, Kaffa Cafe has been a cornerstone of South Seattle, offering authentic Ethiopian dishes, expertly roasted coffee, and carefully selected wines. Now, following a thoughtful renovation, we are reopening with a refreshed space while maintaining the same warm hospitality.

“I tried to find a cafe place to work while waiting for my son in a class at Columbia city. Unfortunately, most of the cafe around there closed at 6pm. Luckily I finally found this place, nice and quiet and exotic place, i can quietly work their and drinking coffee. Smell the food there I ended up order a plate to take home. We all love it, pretty good price and nutritional balanced. I am glad I found this place!”
