Arwa Yemeni Coffee

Came here yesterday for my mother’s birthday to try out some Yemeni coffee. Tried the pistachio tiramisu dessert which was delicious, and the sesame honeycomb we ordered had a nice creamy texture that just melts in your mouth. The wait was a bit long but the warm tea combined with these authentic sweets made it worth it. Lovely ambience as well - I appreciate the way they incorporated the classic Arabic architecture style into the cafe’s interior style: the intricate woodcraft, the ogival arches along the walls, the folded low-hung lamps along the ceiling.

Wow! This place was amazing! We visited on the afternoon of 1/22/2026 and had AMAZING service from a kind young lady named, Katia. She was so knowledgeable in the menu and made the most delicious recommendations. She took the time to explain and educate us on the menu and even gave us samples to try so we would be happy with our experience here. The coffee shop itself was beautiful and the atmosphere had awesome vibes. The customer service we received from Katia though really made our experience whole! We will definitely be back! We ordered what Katia recommended which is in the picture.

It was so good compared to Starbucks. Starbucks has syrup pumps that they use but in this coffee shop it was excellent it tasted natural, homemade, and creamy. It is also very nice and fancy I love the mood and the space. I would definitely come here again!

The café has a beautiful look and a pleasant ambience. The location is good, though my GPS didn’t direct me to the exact spot—it can be a bit tricky to find without clear directions. Both the café and the bathroom were clean, which I appreciated. They had young, non-Yemeni employees working there, which is fairly common for Yemeni cafés. However, I left feeling that the coffee didn’t quite taste authentic. It might have been due to the temperature—it was served warm instead of hot and likely wasn’t fresh. When I mentioned this, they reheated the same coffee instead of preparing a new one. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and liked the environment, but I believe the café could benefit from retraining its young staff to ensure the authenticity and quality of the coffee truly reflect Yemeni tradition.

We were excited to try this nee coffee place! Go with an open kind and heart and you will love it! Yemeni coffee and tea is an experience! We ordered the sampler that has 2 coffees and 2 teas since we were trying it for the first Time. I personally loved the red tea and coffee. The honeycomb bread is a sweet and cream cheese filled little doughs, interesting! Will definitely be back for lattes next time!
