Our Story
About SoMii
How It Started
Not Just a Cafe.
A Special Experience.
SoMii started with a simple idea: a place where you can grab a signature latte, try artisan soft serve, and discover your next favorite collectible — all under one roof.
Inspired by the tea and coffee houses of East Asia, SoMii is where specialty drinks meet curated collectibles. It's an inviting space for families, friends, and anyone looking for something a little different on Ninth Street.
SoMii is a locally owned cafe and collectible store on Ninth Street in the heart of Durham — and our doors are open.
