Muhim’s Café

If you want to experience a quiet place ( despite being Lake street ) and good service, you should visit this place.

I absolutely love this coffee shop! The coffee is always top-notch, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. It’s the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends.”

I've never had shaah (Somalian tea) until I visited Muhim’s Café. I ordered it with milk and it was delicious. I would compare this to Taiwanese milk tea (boba milk tea 🧋). The shaah was sweet, milky, and very hot - perfect for the cold weather. 👌

The worker also recommended the "mush mush" (no idea on the spelling of it), which is a flat sweet fried pastry. From the looks of it, I didn't expect much... But, it went really well with the tea. Definitely try it if you never had it before.

We also ordered a sambusa, which was pretty good.

They are located on a busy intersection, but there is parking in the back. 👍🏻

If you never had Somalian tea/pastries, definitely give this place a try!

I was here on Sunday morning and ordered a drip coffee, which it turns out they don't have, but the kind barista made me an INCREDIBLE americano instead and truly it was so good it inspired me to write this review. Also got two sambusas which they heated up for me, super delicious!! They are a bit spicy, which I loved. Prices very reasonable too.

this was easily the best cafe i’ve ever been to. 10/10. i visited this place yesterday and it has changed my life for the better. Everything here is top notch, the atmosphere is amazing, the customer service is immaculate. The decorations made me feel comfortable, i wanted to sit down and write a book. You must stop by and support this business. The options are endless, you can’t go wrong with anything. Thank you for allowing me to experience such an iconic establishment. I will be back insha’Allah. Take care.

Clean, bright, beautiful space to enjoy a cup of coffee and a tasty bakery item. Right next to 35W and lake street station.

Comfortable chairs and a nice laid back urban feel. The Americano was good, and the drink menu was reasonably priced.

Great shop! If you’re looking to try some Somali food and don’t know where to start, this is a great option. Service was great.

100000000/10 I loved it honestly my drink was amazing it was the blushing strawberry I checked the inside of the store it has a beautiful atmosphere you guys need to come if your a student and want to study or if you have friends and want to talk and chill, allahuma barik I’ll love to see you guys grow and open more stores soon.

reasonably priced, great customer service, great tasting food.

Such a cute spot! I had some time to kill, and needed (wanted) haha a cup of coffee. This place popped up as close by, and it was a perfect match ☕💙

Best somali tea 🍵 in South Minneapolis. It's authentic.

Loved this spot!!!! It was clean and quiet. I got an Iced Matcha and Sambusa. Iced Matcha was wayyy better than what you can get at other popular chains in the area. Super nice guy working. Would highly recommend!!!!

Got a hot Shaah (Somali tea) and cherry and cheese danish when I visited last week! I really loved the atmosphere and the employee was very sweet 🫶🏻

I forgot to take a photo of both items I got because I was craving the shaah 😂

Otherwise only thing I got confused on was parking, but the employee mentioned you can park on the sides of the building 👍🏻

Beautiful atmosphere with amazing customer service. Maryam went above and beyond to help (she deserves a rise!)

Muhim Cafe is an absolutely amazing place that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming atmosphere to enjoy some delicious food and beverages. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted by friendly and attentive staff who are eager to make your experience the best it can be.

The atmosphere at Muhim Cafe is one of the things that makes it so special. With its comfortable seating, warm lighting, and beautifully designed decor, it's the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day. Whether you're meeting up with friends or simply looking for a quiet place to read, Muhim Cafe has something for everyone.

But what really sets Muhim Cafe apart is their incredible menu. With a wide range of coffees, teas, and other beverages to choose from, as well as a selection of fresh pastries, sandwiches, and other snacks, you're sure to find something that suits your taste. Everything is made with high-quality ingredients and served with a smile, making it a true joy to dine at Muhim Cafe.

Overall, I can't recommend Muhim Cafe highly enough. From the friendly staff to the cozy atmosphere to the amazing food and drinks, it's the perfect spot to relax and unwind. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and see for yourself - I promise you won't be disappointed!

New cafe on Lake Street- really conveniently located next to the Lake Street station. The cafe was very cute inside, but I took a Somali tea and a brownie to go.

Service was quick and the Somali tea was so good on a cold day. Perfectly sweet- I'd go back again just to order that.

I had a nice business meeting there. She has delicious snacks, hot & cold drinks, and FREE PARKING. It was the perfect spot for meetings or just catching with reading. The owner did a fabulous job in decorating and running the cafe. Thanks for the hospitality Muhim. I will definitely come back.

I’ve been making an effort to visit more of the locally owned restaurants in my neighborhood lately and today I went to Muhim’s Cafe. The barista was very nice and helped me when I wasn’t sure what to order. I got Shaah (Somali spiced tea) and a Sambusa pastry. The Shaah tastes a lot like chai tea (very good) and the sambusa was great! It’s a savory fried meat pastry and it was fantastic. Definitely recommend coming here for coffee and a treat if you’re looking for something local.

Great place to grab a coffee and snack. Very clean, and the decor inside is cute. Barista was nice, explained some pastries that I was unfamiliar with. Would love if they sold more food in the future!

I love cafe hopping and this is the cutest cafe I’ve come across so far. I’m so glad I found it—it feels like a hidden gem. In addition to having tasty bakery items and great coffee, it’s almost like a fusion Somali-American cafe with sambusa and delicious Somali tea on the menu.
