Tomoca Coffee
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The read// why locals go
Tomoca has been roasting and pouring coffee on Wavel Street in the Piazza quarter of Addis Ababa since 1953. It is the most famous coffee address in the country that gave the world the crop, and it has stayed stubbornly itself: no seats to linger in, a standing counter, beans roasted on site and sold by the bag to people who have been buying them for decades. A cup costs around ETB 30. Coffee in Ethiopia is a social ritual before it is a caffeine delivery system, and Tomoca is where the Italian espresso habit and the Ethiopian one met.
