One Central District landmark is starting to turn into a dining destination. Cafe Avole the five-year-old Ethiopian coffee shop and roaster in Brighton plans to expand to the Liberty Bank Building this spring. The new outpost will debut right next to celebrated chef Kristi Brown’s Communion Restaurant and Bar, which opened to much fanfare in fall 2020.
This is a big step for Cafe Avole, and an exciting new addition to the neighborhood. Back in 2016, co-owner Solomon Dubie used funds from a successful Indiegogo campaign to transform the former Rainier Mini Mart in the Brighton neighborhood, after years running a small grocery store espresso cart. The menu focuses on a selection of Ethiopian roasts brewed through traditional methods, as well as snacks such as pastries, ambasha, and ful medames (a fava bean stew).
