The Ethiopian Coffee Company

The finest coffee direct from its birthplace to your cup

All The Ethiopian Coffee Company’s coffees are grown organically by traditional methods at high altitudes with ample rainfall, a near-perfect climate, good fertility and natural planting conditions.

As well as having the perfect cup made for you by Anteneth and their team, you can buy beans to take home with you – ground to suit your coffee machine, if you like.

If coffee’s not your cup of tea, try a hot chocolate instead. And there is a variety of non-dairy milk to choose from.

The Ethiopian Coffee Company’s must try drink

Bailey’s latte (ask for it on ice if it’s hot out)

Location

Southbank Centre Square, Belvedere Road
