Our Signature Drinks
Tea & Coffee With a Story
At Hamdi, tea and coffee are more than beverages. They are part of conversation, hospitality and everyday connection.
An Everyday Tradition
Somali Shaah
Warm, aromatic Somali Shaah is prepared with black tea, milk and traditional spices. It’s a drink built around welcome, part of mornings, conversations and the simple act of sharing time with someone.
Brewed with black tea and warm spices.
Smooth, lightly sweetened milk finish.
Take Hamdi Home
Hamdi Shaah
For the customers who love a warm cup at the café and want that same character at home, Hamdi Shaah is our premium spiced black tea blend, the same welcoming spirit, made to brew in your own kitchen.
It pairs naturally with the same kinds of moments that make Somali Shaah special: a quiet morning, a pot for guests, a cup while you read or work. Explore the blend, or read more about the tradition that inspired it.

The Ritual
More than a drink, a way to slow down
There’s a reason tea and coffee sit at the center of so many cultures: a warm cup is a small permission to pause. At Hamdi, that’s the whole idea. Whether you’re ordering a Somali Shaah to start your morning or settling in with a Somali Qahwo to keep a conversation going, the drink is the anchor, and the moment is the point.
We brew Shaah the way it’s meant to be served, warm, spiced and made to be poured generously. And we serve Qahwo with the same unhurried intention. Neither is a rushed cup; both are made to be lingered over, whether you’re on your own or with the people around you.
That’s what makes the Hamdi experience different from grabbing a drink to go. Here, tea and coffee are a reason to stay, and the café is designed around that welcome.
Made to Pair
The food that completes a cup
A warm drink naturally wants a warm bite beside it. At Hamdi, our breakfast and food menu is built to pair with the teas and coffees we serve.
A crisp Sambusa is a classic partner for Shaah. A soft Malawax or Canbulo sits perfectly beside a morning cup. And the savory Bur Macaan rounds out a full table.
The pairing is part of the experience, tea and coffee are even better when there’s something good to share alongside them.
