Tomoca Culture ~ Ethiopia has a culture of drinking coffee together with friends, family, and neighbours. This long-standing, practiced tradition, has a great impact on the strength and harmony of the community. This togetherness during coffee-culture increases the bond and conveys respect and love for one another. Tomoca emulates this Ethiopian culture at all its outlets in line with tradition. The Coffee shops preserve the mastered art of espousing Ethiopian coffee with an Italian technique, giving rise to the Tomoca Signature Coffee such as the Macchiato, Sprice and Cravate.

Pioneer for Change

According to History, Kaldi – a native herdsman, noticed one of his goats acting peculiarly after eating the berries of a certain shrub. Kaldi then complained to the local Abbot of a monastery about the spirited behavior of his goat. This practice then started in the monastery and grew in the community and finally globally.

This chain – tower of dreamers, of achievement is the premise on which Tomoca is based upon. The passion of dreamers to disrupt the status quo in the same way the spirited goat did, is shared with Tomoca
