Where the coffee comes from.

Ethiopia grows some of the most distinctive coffee in the world. We rotate lots from its best-known regions through the pour-over bar.

Yirgacheffe

Southern Ethiopia

Bright and floral, with notes of jasmine, lemon and bergamot.

Sidama

Southern Ethiopia

Sweet and balanced, with berry and dark chocolate.

Guji

Southern Ethiopia

Juicy and fruit-forward, with stone fruit and honey.

Harrar

Eastern Ethiopia

Bold and winey, with blueberry and a heavy body.

The lot on the pour-over bar changes every week. Ask your barista what's brewing.

Spiced shay, our other half.

Shay is the tea Ethiopian families pour all day long, simmered with warm spices and served strong. It's half of our name, and a favorite with anyone who wants something gentler than coffee.

CinnamonCardamomCloveBlack tea

Skip the line.

Order ahead from your phone and pick it up at the counter. Every order earns a stamp on your punch card.

Coffee the traditional way.

Every Friday evening we roast, brew and pour coffee the way it's done at home in Ethiopia.
