About Us

The Heart of Ethiopian Coffee in Portland

Welcome To Milki Café

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.
