About

Milki Café was born from a simple vision — to share Ethiopia’s rich coffee heritage and authentic food culture with the Portland community. “Milki” represents warmth, connection, and hospitality, values we bring into every cup and every meal we serve.

We source high-altitude Ethiopian coffee beans, roast them locally, and prepare each cup with care. Alongside our handcrafted coffee and traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremonies, we also serve authentic Ethiopian dishes, fresh pastries, smoothies, and flavorful meals inspired by home-style cooking.

As a busy professional, I rely on my morning coffee to kickstart my day. The rich, smooth taste and heavenly aroma never fail to perk me up and get me ready to tackle whatever the day throws at me. It's like a little slice of heaven in a cup!
