Family opens new Ethiopian coffee roasting company in Dallas

A new brand of Ethiopian coffee is being roasted, packaged, and sold in North Texas.
Behind a storefront on Ross Avenue in Dallas, Texas, one family is transforming an old shop into a new coffee production facility.
They’re not only roasting Ethiopian coffee beans but also connecting North Texas to their Ethiopian roots.
“To my family, it’s a way of living. It’s a way of life,” said Kabede Degefu, Co-Owner of Dilla Coffee Roasters.
The new Dilla Coffee Roasters production site is run by Ethiopian immigrants and third-generation coffee growers Kabede Degefu, and Simon Sima. Kabede is a former engineer. His brother, Simon, is a fashion designer and tailor who also operates Classic Cleaners a few doors away.
The men are now continuing their family’s legacy by roasting and packaging aromatic coffee beans, right from their shop in Dallas.
“We care about coffee. The history of the coffee. And we love to bring it to the land of opportunity. America,” Kabede explained.
