ABOUT LIFFNA CAFé

Welcome to LiffNa Café

At LiffNa Café, we believe that a cup of coffee is more than just a drink – it’s an experience, a connection, and a celebration of culture. Nestled in the heart of Utrecht, our café brings the rich tradition of Eritrean coffee ceremonies to life, offering a warm and inviting space for people to gather, share stories, and enjoy flavorful meals.

Our Story

Saron and Winta, two childhood friends from Asmara, Eritrea, have always been deeply connected to the rich traditions of their homeland. With a shared passion for Eritrean coffee rituals, cuisine, and culture, they founded LiffNa Café in Utrecht. Their goal is to offer a space where people can experience the beauty of the Eritrean coffee ceremony, savor authentic flavors, and feel a true sense of belonging. Whether you're here for the coffee, the stories, or the warm community, LiffNa Café invites you to connect not only with others but with the vibrant cultural heritage behind every cup.
