Milyar Coffee
3300 Adeline St, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Milyar Cafe transports you to the Middle East with its ornate, cozy space and distinctive drinks like Yemeni lattes infused with warming spices and traditional Adeni tea that transport your palate somewhere far from Berkeley. The specialty lies in their thoughtful approach to traditional coffee and tea preparations, paired with genuine pastries like baklava and soft, savory chicken rolls that feel authentically crafted rather than mass-produced.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Slow-sit spot. Light food on the menu. Open late.

Yemeni Latte was amazingly infused with cinnamon and other herbs. Adeni tea was good too with its strong flavour. Baklava was delectable. We also tried the pistachio milk cake (tres leches). The space is pretty spacious and ambience is good for a sit down tea/coffee. Parking…
