Michigan Yemeni Coffee Shop Haraz Coffee House Is Opening in Austin | Eater Austin

"A Michigan coffee chain is opening a Pflugerville location that focuses on traditional Yemeni coffee sourced from a coffee-growing village in a Yemeni mountain range that inspired the shop’s name. The beverage lineup highlights jubani-brewed, spiced drinks such as the Harazi (coffee with cardamom and cream), the sana’ani (black coffee with cardamom), and the rada’ai (coffee with ginger and cardamom), along with an adeni chai (black tea with spices and cream) offered in a saffron variant. Additional offerings include espresso and lattes (saffron and pistachio options), Turkish coffee, iced drinks, and pastries like saffron-rose milk cake, Bee Bites (honey-drizzled bread filled with cream cheese), and cheesecakes. The cafe emphasizes communal drinking and sharing, will provide dine-in and takeout, and has no announced opening date yet. The concept was started in Dearborn in 2021 by Hamzah Nasser and has expanded to over 10 locations in five states; the Pflugerville franchisees are Zeid Ayssa and Mufid Ghaleb." - Nadia Chaudhury
