Crema's Take
“Arwa Yemeni Coffee is a stunningly beautiful hidden gem that brings authentic Yemeni coffee traditions to New Haven with meticulous care—their signature Yemeni latte and Adeni chai are standouts that reflect genuine expertise and cultural pride. The spotless, thoughtfully organized space cultivates an atmosphere that feels equally welcoming whether you're studying solo, meeting friends, or settling in with family, all while the staff's genuine warmth and willingness to let you sample drinks before ordering sets a rare standard for hospitality.”

A HIDDEN GEM! This is one of the most beautiful coffee shops I've been to. The place is unique, super clean, well organized, feels very welcoming and the staff is extremely friendly. The coffee and tea choices are diverse and delicious. This has definitely become my favorite coffee shop, I'm a regular now! A must try!
This is easily one of the best coffee shops in New Haven. The ambience is peak and great for studying alone/with friends. The workers are so kind and helpful, even let me sample a couple of their signature coffees! I ended up getting the Yemeni Latte (1/2 sweet) and it was amazing. Rich with spice and perfectly balanced with the perfect amount of sweet. Definitely a place I would check out!
I’ve visited Arwa Coffee many times, whether with family, friends, or even to get some work done, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is always welcoming and comfortable. Their signature latte is absolutely delicious, and the Date Palm Latte is truly amazing—unique and perfectly balanced. The Yemeni honey bread is another highlight; it’s rich, flavorful, and pairs beautifully with the coffee. The staff and managers are incredibly friendly, respectful, and always helpful, which really makes the experience even better. Arwa Coffee is also very thoughtful about its space. You’ll find games to enjoy, a prayer carpet, and they are actively working on creating a dedicated place for prayer, which I really appreciate. The café is filled with soft natural light coming from outside, creating positive, calm vibes that make it a great place to relax or focus on work. Overall, Arwa Coffee is a wonderful spot with great drinks, warm service, and a peaceful environment. Highly recommended ☕✨
Tried the yemeni latte, spinach pie, nutella combs. Everything was fresh and delicious. Nice clean space and the sweetest staff
We were heading to Rhode Island and stopped off to get some coffee. We found this fantastic coffee shop. Everything is excellent about this place. The Adeni Chai is well done. The inside is very well decorated and the atmosphere is very pleasant.
