Crema's Take
“Qahwah House is a vibrant gathering spot where traditional Yemeni specialties shine, from their celebrated honeycomb pastries and flaky sabaya drizzled with honey to a powerfully aromatic black tea with milk that locals swear by. The warm, lively atmosphere draws everyone from families to coffee enthusiasts, though arrive early or embrace the delightful chaos of a crowded room filled with people discovering why this place has earned near-perfect ratings. Beyond the coffee, it's the authenticity of their drinks and pastries—including an adeni chai that tastes like home—that keeps visitors returning for both the flavors and the genuine sense of community.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Super lively, really liked the place! As a chocolate lover, safe to say they serve delicious chocolate treats. I went in the evening on a Sunday & while it was snowing, and I was surprised to see how full & loud it was! Took me around 10 minutes to get a table. Staff was super…
I’ve visited this café several times and really enjoy it. The Yemeni honeycomb bread and sabaya are delicious—the sabaya has thin, flaky layers drizzled with honey, though I’d personally prefer fewer sesame seeds. The cappuccino is great, made with organic, medium-roast beans.…
Their black tea with milk is incredibly strong, and I absolutely love it, just be careful you might stay up late. However, the cheese bread was a bit hard, as if it wasn’t freshly baked.
Good experience if you can get a table to sit. It can get very crowded and loud especially with the social media crazy. Tried their adeni chai which tastes like something you would make at home - would recommend asking them to add ginger. Small pot is good enough for 3-4 people…
