Cōlab Press opens · October 3, 2026

Coffee, community and farm-fresh living. In one yard in Hawassa.

We open with coffee, from espresso to a traditional buna ceremony, plus fresh juice made with produce from our own farm. The numbers are on every cup, so you know exactly what you’re drinking.

The ceremony, the way it should be shared

Roasting, the jebena, three rounds and good conversation. Hosted in the yard, open to everyone.

The lab in Cōlab

What you measure, you can change.

Every drink shows its numbers. Sugar comes on the side. Produce shows the day it was picked. Information, never judgment.

The farm, on your table

A small market next door to the café with produce from Abiko, our own farm near Hawassa. A “picked on” date on every crate, and you pay by the kilo.
