Somali Tea in Minneapolis

Somali Shaah is one of the Twin Cities’ best-kept café discoveries — a warm, spiced black tea that carries a deep sense of hospitality. For anyone in Minneapolis curious about Somali tea culture, here’s where to start.

The drink at the center of it all

Shaah is brewed from black tea with milk, a gentle sweetness and warm spices like cardamom and ginger. It’s aromatic, comforting and made for sharing — the classic Somali tea experience.

Finding it in Minneapolis

Hamdi Coffee serves Somali Shaah fresh every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. It’s a welcoming place to try the real thing — whether you’ve grown up with it or are discovering it for the first time.
