Arwa Yemeni Coffee

This gorgeous Yemeni coffee shop is absolutely stunning inside. The aesthetic is super clean, and the attention to detail is next level. They have these beautiful arches inspired by one of the oldest ancient mosques in Yemen, which adds such a unique touch. Plus, there's a lovely outdoor courtyard to enjoy a drink on a nice sunny day. I had never tried Yemeni coffee before, so I went for the Yemeni latte, and it was really nice! They source all their beans directly from Yemen and roast them in-house, so every cup is fresh and authentic. They offer a mix of traditional drinks and classics like cappuccinos, lattes, and espressos. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, they’ve got crispy pastries and delicious cakes with unique flavors. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. They even asked if it was our first time visiting so they could help with any questions. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

Even on a warm day sitting outside in the patio area, I enjoyed sipping on the hot cardamom spiced coffee! Because it was my first time trying Yemeni coffee, they let me sample a bit which helped me decide on what to order. They had great recommendations (the saffron cake's texture and sponge was perfectly delicious) and the atmosphere was clean, vibrant, and also not too loud or overwhelming. I really enjoyed the experience and if I'm ever in the area I would make sure to stop by for a sweet treat and drink.

Visited Arwa Yemeni Café and ordered the Jubani and their Signature Latte. The Jubani had a more traditional kahwa taste, while the Signature Latte was absolutely delicious, with a beautiful camel imprint on top. The pistachio pastry was amazing—light and spongy—and the crunchy biscuits were a nice touch. The only downside was how crowded it was, making it hard to find a table. Overall, a great spot for authentic Yemeni flavors, but be prepared for the wait.

I give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Arwa Cafe in Richardson is a true gem! The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, perfect for anyone looking to relax or catch up with friends. The café’s standout feature is its stunning backyard – beautifully designed, it’s like stepping into an oasis with lush greenery, comfortable seating, and a peaceful vibe. It’s one of the most charming spots in town to enjoy a coffee or tea in the fresh air. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the menu offers a delightful variety of drinks and light bites. Arwa Cafe is a must-visit if you’re in Richardson!

Cool place with some impressive coffee, cookies, and breads. It was such a lovely vibe, and my husband felt it reminded him of his days in the Middle East. Everything we tried was awesome. The Muwafer coffee, which they allowed us to kindly try before getting it, was awesome. I loved the tea cookies and sesame cookies, and the cheese bread was amazing.

By lucky strike we found that Yemeni Coffee spot. If you want enrich your taste of coffee and try something beyond TX traditional , come to this place. Very tasteful coffee with cardamom and ginger, pistachio pudding is awesome. I like the decor and background music. Good experience of something new here in Dallas

Love this place. The staff was super friendly. Allowed me to taste the teas. The place has a beautiful family vibe on the weekend

Super cute coffee shop! Stopped in on a Saturday & it was super busy inside. All seating was taken! Thankfully, there's an outdoor section as well that opens up to a courtyard. Though I'd recommend some misting fans for the summer! The tea & pastries were delicious. I'll definitely have to stop by next time I'm in the area!

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: their camel coffee aka the Yemeni latte! I believe they're also known for their desserts but that honeycomb bread caught my eye! THE VIBE: pays tribute to their culture but in the most modern and aesthetic way. There's more seating outside than inside. It gets very busy here. PRICE: ~$13 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! **** Overall Rating: 10/10 - This is my second time at Arwa and I only had their red tea the first time and it was so full of flavor! This time I had the Yemeni latte and was blown away how perfectly sweet it was and just comforting and absolutely delicious. There's a reason this place is so busy! - Their honeycomb bread (someone tell me if there's a traditional name for it) WAS SO DELICIOUS. It had cream cheese in the middle and they actually serve it hot with simple syrup drizzled on top it's absolutely divine!!! - I went on a Friday evening and it was packed so don't recommend coming there if you wanna struggle to find a seat or don't mind sitting outside. Even tho I went on a Tuesday afternoon this time it was still pretty busy. - Love this place and highly recommend! Maybe not to study because it's pretty loud but maybe work on something easy.

This Yemeni coffee shop was such a pleasure to experience! If you haven't been before, add it to your list IMMEDIATELY! When you enter, you'll be welcomed with the most delicious spicy, aroma - and the shop is so beautiful inside with plenty of seating inside and outside. The staff is incredibly sweet and will take the time to explain different Yemeni coffees, teas and treats if you're unfamiliar. I let them know I wanted to be adventurous and try things I hadn't before, so they helped me select some things. See below for what I tried and my ratings: - Royal Halwa; sweet jelly w/ nuts (5/10) - Harissa (5/10) - Tea biscuit (7/10) - Yemeni latte w/ camel design (9/10) - Rose milk cake (10/10) - Saffron milk cake (10/10) Although I didn't love all the treats, the milk cakes were SPECTACULAR and I love the story behind this Yemeni coffee shop (check out their website), so you'll only hear me say wonderful things about this business. Next time I'm there, I really want to try the sampler! :)

I can't say enough good things about this place. You walk in....& gosh golly the smell... smells like a warm hug! Think cinnamon spice & everything nice... my friend & I were dressed for a rainy day Spring Creek Nature Area walk... but we blended in amongst the beautiful people of varied ages. Despite being very full... the shop was very well staffed & everyone was so friendly & proactively helpful. I highly recommend getting the pre set flight of drinks/treats & then add on from there if it's your first time in. ..But be warned... u will be back! Some of the best coffee & service & treats I've had in a long long long time! They even had a scrumptious gluten free muffin they warmed for me... & it was heavenly spiced too! I live in Idaho but I promise you this will be one of my first stops the second I'm in town again! And for my fellow coffee snobs... this is Yemen coffee!... & selling their blend of latte spices is in the works... & franchising is available! And did I mention this is a majority women-owned company! (I had the nicest gentleman provide us, along w/the ladies behind the counter too... with additional samplings ...as they saw how enthused I was... such a hospitable people!)

We need this in Los Angeles! Stumbled upon this gem as a friend highly recommended it! It was a "I have a place in Texas that you don't have in LA, and it's the best". She was right, the teas and coffees are really great! I ordered the sampler which came with 4 drinks and 4 paired pastries and it was wonderful! The tea was incredible. I had to go back 2 days later and get the tea again and I took a jug back to my friend's house so we could have it the morning of before our flight back. The flavors and spices in the tea were so traditional and felt like home, yet so addictive. A place I could see myself going for my morning brew. The interior was so beautiful and well thought out. Perfect for studying and hanging out with friends. The team who manages this place were so kind and patient with my 100 questions. Every single employee was as kind as could be. I felt very welcomed. I'm writing this 2 weeks after having it and I wish I could have that tea today! It's an awesome place and I hope they will come to LA! Highly recommend if you're in the Dallas area!

Such a cute cafe with delicious coffee and treats. This cafe serves Yemeni coffee which I'm trying for the first time. My latte was robust, rich and had the perfect hint of sweetness. I paired my latte with a tea biscuit. Chile when I say this biscuit was so damn good!! The exterior looks hard but once you bite into it, it's soft and bit fluffy. The top of the biscuit has some type of honey and possibly cardamon (I don't even like honey) but it was the perfect pairing on this. Next time I'll try one of the seasonal drinks and cakes that looked delicious! They serve non dairy milk which is great! Seating is left to be desired just because there isn't much seating. So plan to either sit outside, wait for seating or get a pick up order. This place gets packed!! At 2pm on a Saturday, there were lots of people in the cafe so it's definitely a popular place. The staff wasn't the most friendly during my experience. When I asked questions or for a plate since I was sitting in the cafe, I received attitude unwarranted.

The food was wonderful! I love this place so much. The service was very friendly and understanding. I with my family always visit this place when we are at Dallas.

ARwa Coffee has truly captured the essence of Yemeni coffee culture. From the moment you step in, the aroma of freshly roasted beans transports you to the bustling streets of Yemen. The Yemen Coffee they serve is a true gem, rich in flavor with hints of spice and a smooth finish that lingers on your palate. Not to mention their teas are unique and flavorful. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their craft, always eager to share the story behind each cup. The interior is beautifully designed and decorated with ample seating. They also boast an outdoor patio!

Visited last night spur the moment and we ordered two hot chai lattes. Staff were attentive and service was quick. The atmosphere was welcoming, well lit, and aesthetic. The drinks were tasty and flavorful. I would definitely return.

This place is gorgeous! It is pretty busy so you'll have to wait for a table to be open and cleaned. Service is wonderful and quick. The Yemeni latte is amazing and looks so cute with the camel on it. It tasted perfect for the cold. The almond croissant is perfectly flaky and crispy. It's a pretty good size and I highly recommend. I also tried the honey comb bread with sesame. It was pretty good and not too sweet.

I visited on a Sunday afternoon, and the place was bustling with customers! The atmosphere was pleasant and had a cozy, study-friendly vibe. It was my first time trying Yemeni coffee, and I was pleasantly surprised by the good service and unique flavors. I couldn't resist trying the 4 signature drinks and treats, and they were not only interesting in taste but beautifully presented - so aesthetic! The 4 drinks were (from left to right in the picture), Adeni Tea, Red Tea, Mofawer, Jubani. Great for my first experience. The next time I come, I'll definitely be getting the Adeni Tea again.

I once heard or what described as a "symphony for the senses" and I couldn't agree more. When you walk in the door, the space is beautiful and you are greeted by absolutely lovely women who are more than happy to answer questions about their offerings. Then there's the smell of coffee and warm spice wafting through the air that draws you in even further to the sound of soft, Arabic music that almost makes you feel as if you are escaping Texas for a little while! I got some coffee and had to try this gorgeous Rose milk cake, you guys, do not sleep on this cake!! It is so beautifully flavored, the rose milk does indeed taste of Rose but not in a perfumey type of way. It is very subtle and wonderfully sweet and it is topped with whipped cream, pistachios and rose petals. It is definitely one of the most unique and variations of tres leches I've ever had and I suggest that everyone must try it at least once in their lives plus it's pink and it's really really pretty. 10/10, highly recommend

This is such a cute place! We got coffees and the parking is amazing as well. My fiance got their chai and he said it was ok.

This is one of my favorite cafe shops. I love the variety of drink selections, beautiful interior and overall ambiance. This spot can definitely get busy during peak hours so if you need a place to focus on work or studying, avoid going during high traffic. There's indoor seating as well as outdoor in the back. I recommend trying their unique Yemeni latte with their spice blend. My favorite item was actually their honeycomb bread. They'll heat it up for you so it's this soft buttery tear-apart bread filled with cream cheese. A little savory and sweet. You must try it!

After a fabulous lunch, my sister and I came here for dessert and an iced coffee, and to talk and get caught up on life. The minute you walk in the delicious smell of fresh coffee greets and welcomes you. They have a sleek and clean narrow dining area then it opens up in the back with more seating in a larger space and outdoor seating that I would've loved to experience but it was way too hot. I ordered the Rosemilk cake which my sister recommended and oh-my-goodness it was amazing!! It has a beautiful, light floral flavor, super moist, the lightest, fluffiest frosting, and beautifully adorned with pistachios. This cake is gorgeous, unique, and delicious. To was it down I got the Yemeni Latte, iced, and it was amazing! Usually and iced latte is an iced latte, you've had one you've had them all . . . NOPE! Not with this one! The flavor was bold, intense, earthy, just perfect. I even ate the ice to not leave any of the coffee behind. This was an absolute treat. I will never come to DFW again and not stop by here. 10/10 perfection!

Mmm! Sip! Mmm! A gentle cup of coffee. Flavorful and soothing. Great in explaining the difference of their teas and coffees from the counter server. Appreciating to have a taste before choosing. Loved the aroma and taste of their "Mofawer Coffee" on this visit. Enchanting ambiance. Can hardly wait to come back! CHEERS!

The best coffee place near Dallas! I try a new coffee place once a week, out of all I've tried, I liked this one the best! I did the $20 sampler and tried and loved every single thing. Also tried three croissant and latte. Delicious! It's super cute inside and they have a neon light perfect for a phot

every time I come here, the drinks are always great and the ambiance is always comfortable and it's a fun place to bring your friends or your family for a cute daytime coffee or even just a late night trip out to grab a little treat. my favorite from here is the adeni tea! the only thing i'd say about this place is that their milk cakes aren't always soaked through all the way so it's a bit of a mixed texture experience, but some of their flavors are good!

This place is going to be so dangerous for me! It's very close to work so I already know I'll be frequenting this place. Their adeni tea is good, loved their halwa (nice and chewy), and their honeycomb bread is a must have. Light, delicious, and just the right balance of sweet and savory. It was my first time there and the staff was very nice, even gave me a little sample of the tea so I could decide if I wanted it (which I did). It has indoor and outdoor seating so not bad for groups. Great place to get some work done, hangout with friends, or enjoy some me-time with a book (like I did).

This place is so lovely for a coffee break or breakfast! The pastries and coffee are sooo good and unique. We tried the coffee flight and pastry sampler plus the Arwa latte (lighter than expected) and almond croissant (delish). There's a couple Med spots in this complex so I recommend going and trying them all!

What an adorable and cozy cafe! I quite love this place. I've been here three times now for socializing, networking and writing, and the service and quality is always exceptional. The wifi is good and there is ample seating. Be forewarned that this shop can get crowded, especially in the afternoons and evenings. The Yemeni latte is the signature, and it's a lovely latte with a spice blend sifted through a cute camel stencil. The iced version is not as good, so either get this hot or go for another drink iced. The ginger lime refresher is a bold and vibrant beverage. It's a perfect way to beat the Texas heat - note neither lime nor ginger flavors are subtle, so make sure you like both a lot before getting it. I'm enjoying my hot ginger summer here. The mofawer is a traditional coffee. It's less bold than a latte. More spiced. The ginger and other spices come through distinctly but subtly, giving me the impression that they're making the spice blend fresh in-house. Perchance a Yemeni Fog? :)

First of all, my mind is blown that all these Yemeni coffee shops are opening in the Dallas area, but I am here for it! My husband and I dropped by here and got drinks and a snack to go. I got their iced Yemeni latte and my husband got there Adeni chai - both were excellent! This place also has phenomenal snack options. I tried their cruffin and I don't think I have had one this good before. It was perfectly crunchy on the outside and super soft on the inside. I later wished I would've gotten more to go. There's plenty of seating here and the interior is absolutely beautiful. The service was wonderful and fast!

Beautifully decorated! There were several people on laptops in their bench seating. There is also a shared courtyard that looked nice, too. I loved the music so much I asked for their Spotify playlist - all popular songs In Arabic versions; think coffee shop versions but Arabic. If you've read my other reviews you'll see that I love music and have saved other restaurant playlists... But I digress . You're here for the tea, aren't you? We ordered the sampler with treats and it did not disappoint. The drink samples were two coffees and two teas and then four treats. The picture shows the beautiful presentation of the sampler. I just wish they would have labeled the items. That is my only negative for them. The two staff members were so pleasant. If I'm in the area again, I will absolutely return.

We had the flight which came with 2 teas and 2 coffees. We also got a honeycomb cake, which was okay (it came with cream cheese stuffed inside). The teas were the stars of this establishment. The coffees were not bad, but the teas were delicious. I would recommend getting a shareable pot. There are 2 tea options; you can't go wrong with either. I believe one has dairy and the other does not. Service was fast. The place was packed on a weekend. There were no indoor seating; it was a bit cold for outdoor, but we managed. It was pretty loud as well.

Finally got around to checking this place out- A beautiful interior and quick service, it was still bustling at max capacity at 9:30 pm. The shareable chai pot (We got Adeni) is easily eight servings and is delicious but filling. I look forward to revisiting for their immaculate looking pastries.

The Aroma when you walk in is intoxicating, such a beautiful scent. Arwa Roasts their own beans and make their own pastries. I've only tried their Yemeni Latte iced with Almond milk, the coffees and the almond croissant. The Yemeni coffee has a rich cardamom taste that isn't overpowering, everything is well balanced and will calm your mind from the first sip. The almond croissant is good as well, they take their time to warm it up for you, without even asking, which shows how much they care. The croissant is balanced and not too sweet, perfect for an Asian palate. The only thing I would change about the croissant, is the flakiness. It's quickly become my favorite coffee spot in Dallas, especially since they open till 1am.

Great spot with lots of seating. Loved the desserts as well as the service. Coffee was high-quality. The location was very clean.

This place is an absolute 10 for its vibes, smells and ofcourse - amazing coffee & tea options! We decided to go with the signature sampler 4 drinks + treats and enjoyed it thoroughly! It was our first time there, I definitely recommend going with a sampler for your first time that was you can try all of their top teas, coffees and snacks in one go. Although, the cups are quite sizable, so I'd recommend sharing! The service is quick, and friendly. Everyone behind the counter had a smile, and eagerness for customers to try new menu items. We will be coming back very soon!

Pastries and Mofawer coffee was amazing., service was good and providing a sample makes for a pleasant experience. Changing this to 5 stars! The ambience is inviting and the tea and coffees are an experience worth traveling for. If you like cardamom, if you want coffee thats not the typical then i suggest you visit Arwa Yemeni in Richardson.

When I walked in... I fell in LOVE! This place is beautiful! The vibe is welcoming and like a burst of positive energy. The service was perfect! They've only been open for two months and it is a woman owned. PLUS! I had these buttery flaky biscuits things and it was delicious!! Also ordered two of the specialty coffees (Yemeni, Jubani) and that was amazing as well! I'd definitely come to this shop to work or hangout!

Love their cardamom coffee. Pretty and yummy cakes. Ambiance is great for journaling and chilling. I'd recommend

I love seeing a diverse coffee shop representing a new culture in the Richardson area. I think it takes a lot of bravery to open something very new and was pleased to try it out. Not only is the inside great for working, staff was also super nice and gave great recommendations. I tried one of the coffees (that was like a chai... I forgot the name) and it was really tasty! Well balanced, lots of flavor, and with the kick of caffeine I needed. I also had a slice of the saffron cake for later. I heard it's a customer favorite. Way to go Arwa Coffee! Thanks for opening and sharing your coffee and culture with us!

Cute little cafe place and I noticed a lot people come here to study. I tried a variety of coffee and tea that was paired with some cookies/biscuit. They have other baked goods, it was a nice experience trying something new.

This was our first time checking this place out. I'm a tea drinker so I wanted to try something new. The ambiance of this place was nice. It gave off Marfa vibes. I was able to sample the Adeni chai and it was so good! It is a chai tea but Yemini style. It could only be served hot. My husband just got a regular iced chai which was great as well. We'll make this our new regular spot to get chai!

Had to come back and bring my Mom, I got to try the rose cake.... If you like the taste of rose it's a hit, if not, it's something nice to try. It was okay

Wow, what an incredible spot! From top to bottom, the menu boasts delicious offerings, though I particularly recommend the Yemeni latte. The staff is exceptionally friendly and efficient, ensuring prompt service even during busy periods. Whether you're looking to get work done, enjoy a romantic date, or simply soak up the sun outside, the setting here is just perfect.

As always ya girl has been influenced by the power of social media so I had to give this unique coffee spot a shot! As I walked in I was taken back by the beautiful light and airy ambiance. The line to order was literally wrapped outside but I had nothing else to do on a Saturday so YOLO. Stood in like for 40 mins but honestly it was worth the hype. Got the latte and yummy little treats to pair. I saw they have a coffee treat flight sampler but that is only available Monday - Thursday. I guess I'll have to come back to try it! The sweet cheese honeycomb bread was super delicious. I never tried anything like it. It was so good I inquired who made it. We'll matter of fact the person I spoken with was the baker themselves!! They transport all of their ingredients FRESH straight from Yemen. Heard that they brought a live camel during their grand opening. Darn I missed it. Hopefully I can ride the camel on their 1 year anniversary!

Amazing ambiance! Simply stunning! For those who are a part of the specialty coffee world, this shop is a good introduction to Yemen coffee! So don't skip out! Service is wonderful and they also sell products from Yemen as well such as their famed honey as an example!

Very pretty cafe that is somehow always busy. Not much seating, so expect to grab and go. I keep coming back for their Yemini latte. Would recommend!

Splendid coffee shop!! It's touch of Yemeni culture adds to it's already pleasant aura! Enjoyed my time and experience here. I highly recommend the Adeni Tea - a perfect combination of spice and sweet! My girlfriend joined me for our weekly book club and had plenty of positives to say: "Came here for coffee but ended up with something even better! Tried the Red Tea beverage that is sweetened and spiced with cardamom and more! Very warm, soothing, and delicious! It's the perfect place for an evening out with friends and for trying Middle Eastern delights!"

Finally made my way to Arwa . If you haven't been here, do yourself a favor and stop by. The covfefe is delicious, the vibes are immaculate , and the honeycomb bread is divine. 9.5 s/10. ------------ After seeing all the hype on social media I knew it was only a matter of time before I also got sucked in. This place is worth it! (Although it is a bit pricey in my opinion). I had the Yemeni latte, which tasted very strong and smooth, 9/10. I think it tastes better hot rather than iced (you also only get the cute camel when it's hot ). You can really taste the cardamom flavor. Not pictured here is the honeycomb bread. It is filled with cream cheese and topped with black seeds. This is one of the most nostalgia inducing delicious food items I've had in so long, 10/10 made my sister and I cry tears of joy. Price: $7+tax for the latte

This placed lived up to the hype. Venue beautiful. Although limited seating, we were able to sit out on the patio. Loved that we were served coffee in real cups instead of paper. Food was beautiful and tasty. Favorite was the honeycomb bread. We also had a chocolate covered date and some biscuits. For drinks, we tried the Yemeni latte and Sand Dune Latte. Both were yummy but the Sand dune was our favorite.

Stopped in with a colleague for coffee and a meeting. What a terrific experience!! The vibe is great and the design puts you in a different headspace. I really enjoyed my coffee. It was very different than anything I would get anywhere else. Best advice is to ask staff for a recommendation then go for it!

Finally got a chance to check this place out. It is so cute inside!! This was my first time trying Yemeni coffee and I wasn't sure what to expect. I ordered the Yemeni latte & to eat I ordered the honeycomb bread. 10/10 ‍ Also, their customer service was amazing! Super kind people

I should have probably ordered the Yemeni coffee but instead I went for my norm which is a vanilla latte. I also ordered the cruffin which was nothing but amazing. The line is insane. I been here since like 10am and its now passed afternoon and it is still long, goes all the way passed the bathroom. It is not too bad waiting in it, I would say goes by pretty quickly. Seating at times can be limited. The place is so packed with people that it may be a bit difficult getting a table. Most of the table are two seaters, a couple bigger table but not much. Its a far way but I would like to come back and try the Yemeni latte.

Ahh this new coffee shop is a must-visit. It's only been open for around a month but the wait will be long regardless because it seems like everyone (understandably) wants to try this place out. The atmosphere is great and I love all the designs inside that make the coffee shop and look and feel very unique. There's a small shop where you can buy some totes, candles and a few other trinkets. This place offers a variety of teas and coffees as well as bakery items such as harissa and Turkish delight. I'd highly highly recommend trying the harissa and the honeycomb because those were particularly excellent. I'll definitely be coming back here again in the future.

finally tried this coffee and it did not disappoint! i love the flavors in their coffee. very bold! their bread was also so so good. only downside is that the space is small and seating is very limited. we had to sit outside and it was a bit cold lol

Did Not feel welcomed. Had 2 women look me up and down then whispered right in front of me. Thought it was odd to make it that obvious. Then they did the same exact thing to my Husband as he entered the area. They rolled their eyes at him for not pronouncing something correctly. Thanks for making my birthday feel special. Ps. If you want to judge someone, please do so once the customer leaves

I finally got the chance to go here with my family over Eid. The place was PACKED. I loved the decoration there-- it felt very relaxing but also cool. We got the Adeni tea pot, which got us around 6 cups. We also got the Khaliyya (honeycomb dessert). I felt like the spice mix in the Adeni chai was a little mild for my liking, but it was still delicious. Khaliyya wasn't as sweet as I like. This place is very popular, and i can see why.

Super good coffee and a variety of pastries. Service is quick and staff is very nice.

THIS PLACE IS A GEM. I am in love with Arwa. Not only is the space a hidden beauty, but the quality of their coffee is high. They roast their own beans and I bought a bag home for my espresso. It is such a delicious bean and I am happy to have tried Yemen coffee for the first time. The staff are helpful and allowed me to taste each of their specialty teas before ordering. If you're looking for a peaceful coffee shop in the Richardson area, come to Arwa Yemeni Coffee!
