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 Asian cafe culture, SoMii is where specialty drinks meet curated collectibles. We're building an inviting space for families, friends, and anyone looking for something a little different on Ninth Street.
SoMii is a cafe and collectible store on Ninth Street in the heart of Durham — and we're counting down to opening day.
