An Ethiopian cafe could be a new spin on the classic coffee date. Suggest meeting there to try Ethiopian coffee. The origins of coffee is a great conversation starter. I love a quick first date... friendly, safe, easy for a late sunday morning or a saturday afternoon meet up. You can test the chemistry while having a good cup of coffee.

Pictured above is the Jebena, a traditional Ethiopian coffee vessel.
"This elongated pitcher is the centerpiece of Ethiopia’s elaborate coffee ceremony, held multiple times a day in some homes. Raw, green beans are washed and roasted over a fire, then roughly ground with a mortar and pestle. They then are added to the decanter-liked jebena, where they brew in boiling water. A full tray of cups are filled with a single high pour to help keep the grounds from flowing through the spout. The same grounds are used for three rounds of coffee, with the third and lightest cup conveying a blessing." Christopher Kimball's MILK STREET Magazine
