Galani Coffee
A converted-warehouse café and roastery in Gerji that made the World's 100 Best Cafés 2025/26 list. Expect serious single-origin espresso, cold brew, cascara tea and an affogato with house-made vanilla ice cream, plus rotating Ethiopian art exhibitions upstairs. It's the anchor of Addis's new-wave specialty scene.
☀️ Local tip
Try the ginger-cinnamon latte or cascara tea; browse the craft shop and art space upstairs. Newer outposts exist (Piassa, Entoto, Jackros) but Gerji is the flagship.
