Soft light is diffused through red and orange velvet umbrellas, and the air is filled with an exotic mix of frankincense, mosquito coils, popcorn and coffee. The dark brew is part of the spiritual and social life in Ethiopia, and patrons can order the coffee ceremony, a half-hour ritual where the beans...
