Coffee shops
My wife and I are foodies but we are also coffee snobs. If you love coffee, you have come to the right country. Welcome the the land of coffee! Ethiopia is where it all started where drinking coffee is a local tradition that has continues for centuries.
This is an excellent unique coffee shop. There are two locations one in Bole on Namibia street and the other in the Debonairs Pizza building on Alexander Pushkin st. They roast using the ancient Ethiopian method but have modified for those with more affluent tastes for coffee & atmosphere. Highly recommend, if you love coffee!

Kaldi's are everywhere and are known as the Starbuck's of Ethiopia. I'm not a fan because I'm a coffee snob but I will give it an honorable mention.
