"Café Avole in Central District Seattle stands as a vibrant hub of culture and community, preserving heritage amid gentrification. Rooted in Ethiopian traditions, it brings neighbors together through the ritual of coffee while supporting sustainable connections with small villages abroad. I grabbed a ginger lavender latte—which was amazing! The ginger balances out the acidity in the coffee, creating a perfectly smooth, flavorful drink. This small business reflects the power of culture, resilience, and community in shaping meaningful change."

"My friends and I had such a pleasant time visiting Alove CD Café while spending the day in Seattle. The café is set right along the road, making it an easy stop for a quick drink or a light bite. There’s a small covered patio outside, plus a bar counter and cozy tables inside. It was a warm, lovely day, and we treated ourselves to a seasonal lavender drink—it was refreshing and delightful. Moments like this remind me how beautifully we are created, able to enjoy life’s simple joys like good flavors and meaningful conversation with friends. For that, my friends and I are deeply grateful to our loving Creator, Jehovah, who truly wants life to be a source of happiness Ecclesiastes 5:18 «This is what I have seen to be good and proper: that one should eat and drink and find enjoyment for all the hard work at which he toils under the sun during the few days of life that the true God has given him, for that is his reward»"

"Super quick turnaround on my cold brew and chill aesthetics. Didn't try any snacks or hot options yet."

"An Ethiopian coffee shop with amazing coffee and nice decor. Went by this morning to grab a cuppa with friends, and it was lovely. The barista was so friendly and we even cracked jokes with him. I got Hazelnut Latte and it was good. Super nice coffee place in heart of Central District."

"Great coffee but can you guys pls have a better variety of seasonal drinks? Been coming here last 2 yrs and it’s been pretty much the same 2 options. I’ve been going to some of the other coffee spots around due to the lack of options at avole."
