From Pop-Ups to Renton

Our Journey

From local pop-ups
to a permanent home.

Before establishing our permanent storefront in Renton, Shaah & Sheeko began as a family passion project host pop-ups and catering community events across King County and the Greater Seattle region.

What began as pop-up tea bars grew into a vision for a brick-and-mortar sanctuary. Today, our Renton cafe serves as both a neighborhood haven and a central hub for our authentic Somali halal catering services.

Built for gathering

A community cafe
made for everyone.

Shaah & Sheeko was crafted as more than a place to pick up a morning latte or evening tea. We designed an inclusive space where families meet, friends linger, and guests from Seattle, Kent, Bellevue, Tukwila, and SeaTac discover the warmth of Somali hospitality.

Come for the shaah. Stay for the conversation.
