"On the ground floor of Ethiopian Village, an affordable senior living facility, is Avole’s flagship cafe, a sleek space that is a great showcase for Ethopian coffee. This is a homecoming of sorts — Avole started out on Rainier Avenue but moved up to a (fairly small) space in the Central District in 2022, which is still open. Many of its offerings come from Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, known for rich, chocolatey flavor with explosive berry notes. Co-founder Solomon Dubie observed the Ethiopian coffee ceremony from an early age, and has an instinctive feel for taste." - Harry Cheadle
