Heyma Yemeni Coffee

Had a very poor experience here around 9 PM. Even though they don't close until 12:30 AM, the cashier refused to give me a proper plate because she "didn't want to do dishes" later. To make matters worse, the staff was busy flirting with each other instead of providing professional service. Rude attitude and zero effort. I won’t be back.

Open late, this new location, they've been in Berkeley for years. Lavish marble fountain sets a serene mood, such ornate seating, golden Turkish coffee pots, and beautiful wall hangings. People come alone, so it's a good place to meet someone :) or to work :/ They have rose cakes and spicy cheese bread, subs, meats and specialty coffees, Yemen brunch from 7 to 3

Love love love the vibe! The food was delicious and the staff were all so amazing and kind. We had 20 people coming in and they were so accomodating and supportive. Highly recommend for breakfast and if you need a conference room theirs is really nice and free!

Wonderful wonderful place, from the hot food to the warm service; very hospitable, lovely decor, very clean environment, great music, wifi.. definitely returning.. the brunch is a must try I ordered the foul. Highly recommend

I got hooked on Yemeni coffee beans while traveling in Egypt, and HEYMA Coffee absolutely nails that flavor profile. The coffee is rich, deep, and aromatic, clearly treated with care, not rushed or over-roasted. If you’re into proper coffee, this will hit. It reminds me of traditional Turkish-style coffee, especially that warm, subtly sweet spice note (cardamom) that adds depth without overpowering the beans. The rose milk cake has strong dulce de leche energy: soft, milky, lightly floral, finished with pistachios. It’s indulgent but balanced, and it pairs beautifully with the coffee. Great atmosphere, thoughtful menu, and it’s located right by Civic Center BART and well connected to the rest of downtown. Definitely worth checking out.
