Spotlight on Shaw: SOST

In Amharic, “sost” means three. In this case, it means three siblings, three concepts, all located in a historic building.

On the first floor, a modern café welcomes patrons during the day, converting into a swanky evening bar. A variety of caffeinated beverages, including premium espresso, the classic flat white and delicious teas grace the menu. The coffee is carefully sourced and prepared using the latest Italian machinery. The setting is intimate, with subdued lighting and walls lined with displayed vinyl. There are both tables and bar seating.
