01 / OUR STORY

SOO DHAWOW — WELCOME

More than a café.
A place to belong.

In Somali homes, shaax is never just tea. It is an invitation: sit down, take your time, tell us what is new. Sheeko is the conversation that follows.

Shaax & Sheeko brings that spirit into a vibrant, contemporary space—rooted in our heritage and open to everyone.

“The best tables are the ones where stories are shared.”

OUR PROMISE

Good business.
Good intention.

01

Halal by design

From ingredients to partnerships, our decisions are guided by Islamic ethics: honesty, fairness and care.

02

5% given forward

Five percent of revenue is set aside for sadaqah—so every visit helps create good beyond our doors.

03

Made for everyone

A welcoming third place where friends, families, students and neighbours can slow down and connect.
