Kaffa Cafe isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a bridge between tradition and community, a place where Ethiopian culture thrives through food, coffee, and shared moments.
Founded by Milen and Bisrat Gebreselassie, Kaffa Cafe draws inspiration from the Kaffa region of Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. This deep connection to heritage shapes everything we do, from sourcing ethically grown coffee beans to creating a welcoming environment that reflects Ethiopian hospitality.
For over a decade, Kaffa Cafe has been a gathering place for those seeking an authentic experience—flavorful Ethiopian dishes, expertly roasted coffee, and a warm, community-driven atmosphere.
At Kaffa Cafe, food is more than nourishment—it is a way to share stories, celebrate culture, and foster human connection. Every dish carries the essence of Ethiopia, crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients and time-honored techniques. We slow-cook our stews, hand-roast our coffee, and serve every meal with intention and care.
More than just a dining experience, Kaffa Cafe is a space where guests come together, whether for a peaceful morning coffee, a lively brunch, or the time-honored Ethiopian coffee ceremony. Every visit is an opportunity to connect, learn, and share in a rich cultural tradition.
Rooted in Ethiopian tradition, we celebrate and share our coffee and cuisine with authenticity.
Our coffee is roasted with minimal environmental impact, and we prioritize direct trade with Ethiopian farmers.
Kaffa Cafe serves as a welcoming space for conversations, gatherings, and shared experiences.
