This weekend a friend introduced us to Cor Coumba coffees. Located a block off Rue 10 in Sicap Amitié 2, this is a must-drink for Dakar. Not to knock the café touba vendors, but sometimes (Monday mornings!) you just want something a little more… Cor Coumba.
Prices range from about 11,000cfa to 16,000cfa per kilo, but you can also buy 250- and 500-gram bags. (Oh, and they do sell café touba for 4,000cfa per kilo.) Whole beans or freshly ground – your choice. And have a sample while you wait for your order to be filled.
The next bean shipment is due to arrive in about two weeks. See you there!

Tips from Cafés Cor Coumba:
– The best coffee is served just after being made.
– Reheated coffee develops a sharp taste.
– If coffee is overheated, it becomes bitter.
– Clean your coffee maker regularly as calcareous build-up can affect its functioning.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Tony!
