Unique, supremely tasty, and peak old school coffee shop vibes, I am so thankful to have Haraz in the neighborhood after many months of eagerly awaiting its arrival.
Specializing in Yemeni coffee, this is not your average coffee shop. Extremely high quality beans and ingredients, super unique spices and flavors, and a wide range of drink options - this is a coffee lover's haven. Yemeni coffee is widely known to have incredibly rich flavor, but I was personally most impressed by the spices. I got the Haraz Latte, based on the recommendation of the guy at the counter and it is fall perfection - warming, cozy spices reminding me a bit of authentic India chai, but with a rich base of coffee instead of tea. Not overly sweet, I could crave this every day.
They have quite the selection of decadent cakes that the girls from my office raved about, but I opted for the savory galette to go with my coffee. Buttery pastry shell, spinach, potato, cheesy goodness. Just very yummy.
Free parking on the street nearby or in the lot directly adjacent. Great, cozy seating inside for working and really nice tables outside for catching up with a friend. The menu is quite pricey compared to a Starbucks, but I'm rationalizing that with WAY better coffee and ingredients and ease, because it's right next to my office! Welcome to the neighborhood, Haraz!! So thrilled to finally have good coffee in the area.
