Tomoka Coffeehouse, Addis Ababa

September 6th, 2008

Tomoka Cafe
Winston Churchill Road
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

According to the manager, Tomoka Coffeehouse was first opened by an Italian family who had to flee once the Communist Derg took over in 1974 and banned private property. No one is sure how the café passed into Ethiopian hands, the family sold or gave it to a friend, but sometimes relatives of the original owners come back to visit. As well as serving macchiatos, expresso and donuts, Tomoka exports coffee beans.
