Crema's Take
“Shibam Coffee transports you to the Middle East with authentic Yemeni coffees like the Mofawar and Sanaani that regulars rave about, paired with perfectly executed pastries and a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels both bright and intimate. The staff genuinely guides you through their specialty drink menu with care, and the comfortable seating makes it easy to settle in for hours, whether you're meeting friends or working solo. With a 4.8-star rating from nearly 400 reviews, this Latham spot has clearly cracked the code on serving coffee the way it's meant to taste.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Really good! Bit of a wait but it’s a Saturday morning so what do you expect. I had the Shibam latte iced with medium sweetness, great taste with spices too. My wife had the Oreo crème latte which was super tasty. When we come back I definitely want to try an iced matcha and a…
