Haraz Coffee House
1204 Central Ave, Charlotte, NC
Crema's Take
“This Yemeni-inspired downtown Charlotte spot brings authentic tradition to specialty coffee with standout drinks like their Qishr (made with coffee husk, cinnamon, and ginger) alongside creative signature lattes that showcase thoughtful bean-and-roast pairings. The in-house pastries—particularly the pistachio cheesecake—are just as memorable as the coffee, and the genuinely warm staff keep the energy inviting even during late-night visits when it gets busy. It's the kind of place where you'll want to try everything on the menu, and honestly, you should.”

Very unique coffee spot! I got the salted caramel latte which was so yummy. The service was excellent, the staff were so friendly. The pastry case looks AMAZING, I want to go back and try everything, they’re all so beautiful! Edit: Came back for a mocha and piece of the pistachio mosaic cake, it was delicious!!
Open Late downtown + on door dash, Night Owls Checked in before 9. It was busy but tables were open. One pistachio coffee/whole milk/hazelnut- So lovely, bean & roast match very well here😃 One salted caramel coffee, cold. Also top shelf-- I got another pistachio to go 🤭 And hey. I noticed this pistachio was flavorful in a different way than... P mmOV: won't miss the processed calories (whipped cream, white chocolate, milk chocolate, drizzles caramel topping, yada yada) uggh Staff was comprised of gracious l ladies, kind (!) pa-tient + efficient 💪♀️💖 coming back!
I stopped by Haraz Coffee on a random Wednesday night, and it was such a pleasant surprise. I ordered the Qishr coffee, which is made with coffee husk, cinnamon, and ginger, and it was incredible. The ginger gives it this perfect spicy bite, but the overall flavor is smooth, lightly sweet, and really comforting. It’s one of those drinks you keep sipping just to experience the layers. The real showstopper, though, was the Biscoff cheesecake. Easily a 20 out of 10. The filling was whipped, silky, and melt‑in‑your‑mouth smooth, and the Biscoff crust added sweetness without being overwhelming. Truly one of the best cheesecake bites I’ve had in a long time. Even though it was fairly busy for a weeknight, the vibe was relaxed and welcoming. The staff greeted me at the door, offered great recommendations, and made the whole experience feel warm and personal. It’s definitely the kind of spot where you can meet up with friends, catch up, or just enjoy a cozy moment to yourself. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. Haraz Coffee is absolutely worth the visit.
This place is super cute. The coffee is exceptional. The pastries OMG. They are delicious! We ordered some lattes and we got the pistachio cheesecake which they make in-house which is the best cheesecake I've ever tasted. Its perfect temperature, has a good consistency of hardiness and not overly sweet. Its so goood! We also ordered the pistachio cronuts which was my first time trying one and that one too was so yummy. The ambiance is great and very friendly curteous service from the worker. If I lived closer this would be my everyday coffee shop. I definitely recommend.
I absolutely love this Yemeni coffee shop and come here all the time! The coffee is always amazing, flavorful, and brewed to perfection. They also have an incredible selection of pastries, and everything I’ve tried has been so delicious. One of my absolute favorites is the Dubai chocolate brioche, it’s soft, and pairs perfectly with their drinks. I also can’t get enough of their pistachio latte, which is easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Every visit is a great experience, and this place has definitely become one of my go-to coffee spots. Highly recommend!
