More Than a Café.
A Community.
Lomi was born from a simple idea: create a space where Addis Ababa could truly come together — over coffee, food, sports, and shared moments.
Born in the Heart of Addis Ababa
Lomi Cafe & Restaurant was created with one purpose: to build a space that truly reflects the energy, warmth, and spirit of modern Addis Ababa. We wanted a place where the city's youth could gather, connect, and feel at home.
Our name, Lomi — meaning lemon in Amharic — represents freshness, vibrancy, and the zest for life that defines our community. From our iconic tree ceiling artwork to our green-accented modern interior, every detail was designed to inspire.
We serve premium Ethiopian coffee, hearty breakfasts, authentic Ethiopian dishes, and international favorites — all in an atmosphere that buzzes with energy, music, and the beautiful game on our projector screens.
Lomi is not just a restaurant. It's a movement. A community. A place where Addis comes together.
