Slowing down to fully appreciate coffee is part of the bargain at this unassuming Ethiopian cafe. But first, you eat. From the all-day breakfast and lunch menus, our pick is mahberawi, a lunch dish. A colourful mix of spice-strewn stews are artfully arranged with pickles and salad on injera, a fermented flatbread built to soak up flavours like earthy doro wat (chicken and egg stew).

Must order: The coffee ceremony, complete with pan-roasted beans, incense and sweet popcorn.
