ETHIOPIAN COFFEE CEREMONY
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee—an honor we take seriously. Coffee ceremonies are a daily ritual back in Ethiopia where friends and family gather to share stories, news and stay connected. We’re bringing this beloved ritual here in San Diego and we’d love for you to experience for yourself.
Gather your friends and family and enjoy freshly roasted and brewed Ethiopian beans, served in a traditional fashion. Ceremonies are $12-15 per person, and include up to three cups of coffee per person, and is served with traditional snacks.
We will be hosting Traditional Coffee Ceremonies on the 2nd & 4th Saturdays of every month (October 11-December 27, 2025) unless otherwise noted on Instagram and our Eventbrite page.
Reservations are recommended.
