• About Us

  • Our journey began in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. What started as a small idea for coffee lovers who wanted something different in their cup every morning has grown into the family-owned business we call Adulis Coffee & Roastery.

    We source our coffee from a trusted, established supplier within Ethiopia, working through the country’s official coffee trading system. Every coffee we offer is certified 100% Arabica, washed and graded Grade 1 or Grade 2, depending on the harvest. We never sell anything below that standard.

    Those beans come to Silver Spring, Maryland, where we roast them ourselves on our Diedrich roaster. Every bag is roasted to order, never roasted ahead and left on a shelf.

    We’re still a small business at heart. We still give the one-on-one customer service we’ve been proud of since day one, and we still believe our community deserves high-quality coffee at a fair price.

What sets us apart? We’re passionate about Ethiopian coffee, and we live it every day.

Adulis is more than a roastery. We bring Ethiopian coffee and hospitality to our community in several ways.

Our roastery. Single-origin Ethiopian coffees from Yirgacheffe, Sidamo, Guji, Harrar and Limmu, roasted in-house in light, medium and dark, and shipped across the U.S.

Our restaurant. At 7825 Eastern Ave in Silver Spring, our full-service restaurant serves traditional Ethiopian dishes and breakfast alongside our own freshly roasted coffee.

Our mobile espresso bar. Our battery-powered mobile espresso bar brings handcrafted espresso drinks to events, offices and gatherings. It’s quiet, clean and doesn’t need a generator.

Our catering. From corporate meetings to weddings and community celebrations, Adulis Coffee Catering adds premium Ethiopian coffee service to your event. Learn more and book at AdulisCoffeeCatering.com.

Come visit us, have a cup with us, or bring Adulis to your next event. Our doors are open to coffee lovers from everywhere.
