Our way

Made cup by cup

Every drink is built at the counter, in front of you. Nothing goes out that we would not drink ourselves.

The marble counter and espresso machine
  1. 01

    Colour tells you

    Our regulars notice the colour of the matcha before they taste it. That green is the first sign of what is in the cup.

  2. 02

    Not too sweet

    The date matcha, the white chocolate, the vanilla cold foam. Sweet enough to feel like a treat, with the matcha still coming through.

  3. 03

    Somali on the plate

    Doolsho and timir turn up in the drinks and the desserts. Familiar flavours, served the way we grew up with them.

COME FOR THE Date matcha MATCHA, STAY Cold foam FOR THE ROOM, THE CAKE Soft cookies AND THE WELCOME Chai latte

People sit and work here, then come back the next day for another one.

The barista was incredibly friendly! I ordered the Doolsho matcha and it really hit the spot, so good! I also got a pistachio cookie and I ended up buying an extra one because it was worth every penny! The cafe itself is delightful, with decorations that showcase Somali culture.
