Somali Coffee in Minneapolis

A rich cup of Somali Qahwo

Minneapolis is home to a vibrant and well-established Somali community — and with it, a thriving café culture. For anyone looking to experience authentic Somali coffee and tea in the Twin Cities, it starts with understanding what makes these drinks special.

What makes Somali coffee distinctive

Somali coffee culture centers on drinks like Qahwo and Shaah — bold, aromatic and shared slowly. They’re prepared with care and meant to be enjoyed with company, often alongside food.
