Exploring Life & Business with Tamar Telahun of Coffee Therapy

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tamar Telahun.

Tamar , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Coffee Therapy was born from my personal journey through hospitality, design, and some life experiences that forced us to slow down and reflect. Coffee became more than a drink for me—it became a ritual, a moment to reset.

We created Coffee Therapy to be more than a café. It’s a space rooted in intention, culture, and connection—where people can feel grounded, have real conversations, and just be.

The journey hasn’t been linear, but every step shaped what this is today: a growing brand that blends coffee, wellness, and storytelling into one experience.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Like many small businesses, there were challenges around finding the right team, marketing and building something from the ground up without a traditional blueprint. On a personal level, we were also navigating life experiences that required resilience and patience. We lost our sweet mom in January and we are still trying to navigate through life and honor her in everything we do.

But those challenges shaped Coffee Therapy into what it is today—they forced us to be intentional, trust our vision, and build something that’s not just functional, but meaningful.

As you know, we’re big fans of Coffee Therapy . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Coffee Therapy is more than a coffee shop—it’s a concept rooted in intention, culture, and emotional connection. We specialize in creating an experience, not just serving drinks. From our matcha and coffee offerings to the space itself, everything is designed to feel grounding, warm, and thoughtful.

What sets us apart is the feeling people leave with. It’s a place where conversations are real, where you can slow down, and where culture and design are deeply woven into the experience. We’re also intentional about the community we’re building—through pop-ups, collaborations, and curated moments that go beyond the cup.

Brand-wise, we are most proud that Coffee Therapy feels authentic. It reflects our story, our background, and the kind of space we wish existed more often. I want readers to know that when they walk in, they’re not just getting coffee—they’re stepping into a space created with purpose.

Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
There are many ways to support and collaborate with Coffee Therapy. We’re always open to partnering with creatives, local businesses, and brands that align with our values around culture, wellness, and community. From hosting pop-ups and curated events to brand collaborations and creative projects, we love building meaningful experiences together.

Support can also be as simple as showing up—visiting the space, sharing your experience, and being part of the community we’re creating. Every interaction helps us grow and continue doing this work with intention.
