Art, culture, coffee: Kefita in Houston offers the community a place for everyone
Kefita Coffee: Foodies & Friends
Katie Stone discovers the wonders of the Kefita Coffee shop, from signature lattes to an amazing ambience to the history of Ethiopian coffee all in a delightful conversation with owners Ruby Amare and her mother Addis Debebe.
HOUSTON - Offering signature lattes and an incredible welcoming ambiance, this new Midtown coffee shop is participating in EatDrinkHTX with a $15 menu that features lattes and iced coffee and very large croissants and pastries.
Ruby Amare opened a clothing boutique called Wonderlikewander in 2017, but over the years it has grown into so much more. It has become a multidimensional brand that focuses on quality coffee, curated goods, visual arts and communal experiences.
A few months ago, she and her mother, Addis Debebe, opened Kefita Coffee.
Kefita Coffee is located at 2506 La Branch. It is open Tuesday - Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on weekends from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, see their Instagram account @kefita.coffee.
