The Art ofExcellence
From the first cup of shaah at sunrise to a candlelit dinner at midnight — classic hospitality, honest food and the finest coffee in Jig-jiga Yar.
Welcome to Excellence
A classic café,
made in Hargeisa
Excellence Café was born from a simple belief: that a good meal shared with family and friends is one of life's great pleasures. We bring together the warmth of Somali hospitality and the polish of a classic European café.
Our kitchen bakes canjeero and sabaayad fresh every morning, our baristas pull every shot by hand, and our grill keeps going until midnight. Whether it's a business breakfast across from Qaalib Business Center or a late dessert with friends — there is a table waiting for you.

Kind words
From our guests
The most beautiful breakfast in Hargeisa. The sabaayad with honey is worth the trip on its own.

Elegant room, warm service and a cappuccino as good as any I've had in Dubai. Our new family spot.
