"I am making this review because I feel I have too. This place is NOT review bombed. I looked up somali tea on google maps, and found this place. I saw that it had 34 reviews with 5 stars and was suspicious. Came here, it is just that good (and quite new). Me and my mom ordered somali teas (less sweet) and found them delicious. Interior is super nice. Will be coming back to try the date smoothie. Plus the lady was super friendly and answered all our questions!"

"This is a spot on Lake St worth stopping for! Mawadah Cafe is more than a cafe, it’s an art gallery, cozy game lounge, and a cultural immersion experience. The is a beautifully & intentionally curated space that folks of all ages can come and unwind. The drinks are delicious and made with care. Come in for a much needed breath of fresh air."

"Stopped by here for a few hours while waiting for my car to be serviced nearby, and it is a hidden gem!! Beautiful interior, smells so good and very calming vibes. Got a chai latte, which was absolutely delicious, and the woman working there was so friendly and kind. They also have games to play if you come with a group, which I thought was cool. Definitely recommend"

"Best cafe in Mn hands down😮‍💨 I would recommend the Jolly Ranger drink if you like sweet refreshers. Also Their matcha is the best match I’ve had."

"I went here in November when I was in Minneapolis for a couple days and needed a quiet cafe where I could work. I found a lovely, comfortable community space with friendly staff. I had a shaah, which was delicious. Definitely worth checking out!"
