Crema's Take
“Qahwah House specializes in authentic Yemeni coffee that's rich and aromatic—a genuine departure from the typical New York espresso bar—and the late hours and spacious two-floor layout make it perfect for lingering with work or friends. The pastries and chai are consistently excellent, though iced lattes can be inconsistent, so stick to their traditional hot drinks and you'll understand why it's a regular spot for Columbia students and coffee enthusiasts alike.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Open late. Family friendly. Parking available.

I come here regularly to get some work done and have some coffee. Drinks hit or miss but more hit than miss. I've gone several times now and one time my drink tasted like a dirty dishwasher but every other time it was great.
Genuinely excellent coffee house. Great for studying and I’m really happy it’s open so late. Nothing better than being caffeinated with a delicious pot of coffee or chai. Can get busy.
Qahwah House is a great spot for authentic Yemeni coffee! The coffee is rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed, and the pastries are fresh and delicious. Cozy atmosphere with friendly staff — perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends.
Beautiful and spacious with a second floor and amazing drinks and dessert. Love the place. On broadway between 111th and 112th streets close to Columbia University. The 1 train is right there and the 110th street cathedral stop is here to get here. Super convenient and I enjoyed…
