About Us

Founded in January 2024 by Mr. Okubay Ngusse, Massawa Convenience Store has quickly become Toronto’s premier destination for authentic Ethiopian and Eritrean flavors, household essentials, and specialty services. Formerly known as Massawa Mini Mart, the store was reimagined to bring a modern, all-in-one shopping experience while staying true to its roots, celebrating tradition, quality, and community. From organic Teff, freshly roasted coffee, and injera mixes to our vibrant Habesha Breakfast & Snack Café and Bangla Snack Café, every detail is curated to provide authentic taste, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere. With friendly, knowledgeable Ethiopian- and Eritrean-speaking staff, fast service, and a commitment to sourcing directly from origin producers, Massawa is more than a store — it’s a cultural hub and community destination where customers feel at home, discover new flavors, and celebrate shared traditions.
