Monk & Capra

At Monk & Capra, we draw our inspiration from the legendary tale of Kaldi, an Ethiopian shepherd who stumbled upon the magic of coffee after witnessing the newfound vigor his goats gained from munching on the berries of an unfamiliar shrub. Observing his flock's curious behavior—leaping and frolicking with renewed energy after consuming the berries—Kaldi decided to investigate further. His journey led him to a nearby monastery, where some of these berries found their way into the fire, unveiling the intoxicating aroma of roasted coffee. It was here that the monks began crafting a brew that aided them in staying awake during their nightly prayers. While rooted in legend, this captivating story resonates deeply with all who cherish the essence of exceptional coffee. At Monk & Capra, we are committed to delivering more than just a cup of coffee; we strive to infuse each sip with the rich tapestry of history and tradition.
