17 Best San Francisco Coffee Shops

"Fans of spiced coffee and vibey music can enjoy the first San Francisco outpost of Haraz now that the Dearborn, Michigan-founded company has set its eyes on California. There are decadent Yemeni desserts and pastries here, such as honey-drizzled bee bites, but the drinks are the main attraction. Try the pistachio latte, which comes with a double shot of espresso." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri

Haraz Coffee House - Review - Lower Nob Hill - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"SF is a city with an early bedtime—there are bike rides and yoga classes to get to in the morning, after all. So it’s hard to find a place open past 9pm, especially if you need somewhere to get work done or find espresso after the sun goes down. Unless you go to Haraz Coffee House, which is open until 10pm (11pm on weekends) with seating and wifi galore. The spacious Yemeni coffee spot (and national chain) in Lower Nob Hill is caffeine central, whether you’re in the mood for an entire pot of cardamom-spiked black coffee or a pistachio latte. They also have things like rose milk cakes, excellent baklava, and bee bites stuffed with cream cheese to keep you fueled for another hour or so of work." - Julia Chen

Starting With San Francisco, California Could Get a Double Shot of Yemeni Coffee Soon - Eater SF

"Haraz Coffee House will open on the corner of Bush and Franklin streets in mid-August, the first California outpost for the popular Dearborn, Michigan-founded company. Haraz Coffee House CEO Hamzah Nasser says Haraz is an experience, not just another coffee shop coming to the neighborhood. The menu will be the same as at the company’s Michigan locations, including golden saffron cakes and rich pistachio lattes. For the uninitiated, Yemeni coffee houses tend to serve modern, Western-originated drinks including espresso and lattes, but also pride themselves on old-school Yemeni items like the delah, a classic Yemeni coffee pot, and milky adeni tea. The drinks at Haraz are much the same, and the food leans on Yemeni tradition, too, with options including bee bites, a cream cheese-stuffed bread served hot with honey drizzled atop. Still, Biscoff cheesecake and king brownies are commonplace at Haraz, too. Haraz Coffee is named after the Haraz Mountains in Yemen’s southwest region, a nod to the country where coffee was first exported and sold outside of Ethiopia and still grows today. The company has gone from a local operation when it opened in 2021 to a booming chain across four states with more than 200 employees." - Paolo Bicchieri

Highlight, the workers behind the counter are patient and lovely 💞 I've tried most of the pastries/sweets. I wanted to love their take on the Dubai chocolate cake, but unfortunately since it sits in close proximity and in the same case as the items made with rose water, it's ruins the cake because it picks up the rose essence and you taste it 😔😫 The best item, im my opinion, is their baklava cheesecake. Its the star 😻 just get it, no doubt that you'll be happy you did. Skip the beautiful pistachio croissant.

Staff are friendly. Love the ambience. Perfect for socializing, relaxing, maybe working. We definitely enjoyed their Matcha Latte & Pistachio Latte. Their Mosaic Dubai was so delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness & very smooth.

Absolutely love the hot salted Carmel latte!! Omg! This was delicious! So much so, I came back the next morning for 2 more coffees. I sat and enjoyed the atmosphere drinking one, then when I was ready to go, I got another coffee to go!!

At first I just wanted to get my fave crispy sweets walking from brunch at @DACHA, but the cozy place and the Chai on the menu sound promising. I ended up getting rose milk cake too but that's a bit disappointing not so much rose taste. But the drinks and the ambience are just perfect!

Great place with good staff. Very cozy, atmospheric. I ordered Turkish coffee and sweets. Very tasty coffee for a low price. That day was my friend's birthday, they congratulated her with a cake and a candle. The employees of this cafe are just wonderful😍

I visited Haraz Coffee two days ago and had a really pleasant experience. I ordered the Haraz Latte, which was smooth, aromatic, and had just the right balance of flavor. The café had a warm, welcoming atmosphere, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. What stood out most was the service especially from Sarah. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the visit even more enjoyable. Not to mention, she’s beautiful, which added a lovely charm to the experience. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Haraz Coffee for both its drinks and its vibe. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

I ordered through Doordash and received my order quickly with all items made exactly asI requested. They have amazing milk cake and other high end treats which are made onsite. Also I love that they are open until 11pm unlike any other coffee house. The drinks are competitively priced but you'll pay quite a bit for any food or treats.

Went to this Middle eastern coffee shop in SF recently. Parking was bit of a hazzle, the vibes inside were good and they had a lot of drink and food options. Slightly on the pricier side, but the taste was great.

Gosh! They are a notch up from your everyday coffee stop. I love the heading, the space, the ambiance, lighting, their location, the hosts and last big nit least, the Karak chai! Mmmmm Thank you for making it a great experience every time. Hope to see you in SoCal soon.

The Dubai chocolate bar is one of the best that I've had. I need to come back to try their drinks ad I've heard they're pretty good. Parking- street parking

My friend and I visited the café at around 10:30 AM. We ordered three beef samosas, one milk tea, one coffee, and a honeycomb. Unfortunately, the samosas were not fresh at all. Shortly after eating, we both began experiencing severe stomach pain, and we believe it may be food poisoning. We are currently on our way to the hospital to get checked. This experience was very alarming. Please be careful when eating out--many places seem to prioritize profit over food quality and customer health. Restaurants must do better and put people's well-being first.

My wife and I decided to check out the new Yemeni cafe that recently opened up in lower nob hill. It's got a college cafe vibe to it with a lot of folks working / studying. We ordered the saffron adeni chai and the pistachio cake, the order was promptly prepared . The adeni chai was simple yet delicious, the pistachio cake however was extremely sweet and lacked any pistachio flavor, I'd definitely come back for the excellent chai but might recommend an alternate pastry to go with it.

Since it's a Yemeni coffeeshop they have many interesting and unique flavors. I like to try different ones every time I come. I like the Rada'aj which is coffee with ginger and cardamon-had a nice spicy kick. I wasn't too crazy about the saffron latte which I thought I'd like but it was just okay. The flavor was good but tasted more milkey and I couldn't taste any espresso. This might be the way it's supposed to taste but for people that like a coffee taste it's a pass. The rose cake was great, not too sweet which always happens with American cakes. It's better than Delah's because it's less gooey. A huge perk is that they are open late-until 11pm. Why SF has minimal night spots is beyond me. I come here every time I get my car serviced at the Honda dealer down the street. When I'm not doing that parking is an issue, it's pretty hard to find around here. There also is an infestation of laptop users that take up all of the tables which is super frustrating. The morning isn't so bad but afternoons and beyond is tough. 4 out of the 7 times I've been here I've had to get it to go which ruins the experience of a sit down cozy coffeeshop to meet and chat with friends. It's so bad I really think they should implement some sort of time limit.

Love the concept of a late night coffee shop in SF. There's a good amount of seating, but I will say it is almost always packed. Wish there were more outlets as well. They have a lot of unique lattes. I got the hot pistachio latte and they worked some fine latte art on it as well. It was warm and creamy, but I do wish that it felt a little less oily or maybe sprinkled some pistachio bits on top for a nicer finish.

Bathroom was not good. Crowded and cramped. Too many people just lounging for long hours with their laptops with just one coffee. We had to squeeze in with another person's table. We tried three different drinks that were supposed to be their top three. Very expensive but none of us felt any of the drinks was any good. Sorry. Baklava was good.

We were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon Haraz Coffee within walking distance from our hotel. I wish I could remember the exact coffee we ordered, but what stood out was how delicious everything was from the drinks to the mix of pastries we shared. The pastries had the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the coffee hit the spot. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we didn't have to wait long at all for our order.

Food: I only had three drinks from them: a vanilla and a mocha latte, and a green tea with honey. I didn't like the vanilla so they nicely replaced it for the mocha. The green tea was really good. Did not get any pastries but they looked fine and had a variety. Service: service is just to the level you expect in a cafe and if they're taking a long time they take it to your table ! Perfect. Ambience: it's musty in there, period. No air flow at all. No ac no doors no windows open. Don't go there in the summer. It's also LOUD LOUD LOUD. Loud. However, it's open till 11 pm which is good if you want company and need to work late. There's plenty of outlets and seating as well including like bar type of seating with outlets so you don't take an entire table from a group. A big no no is there's one bathroom only. Just one and a line of like 7 can form.

Free WiFi, lots of seating and plug outlets along the walls. Complementary water available and I think a bathroom stall in the back. Good selection of tasty pastries and drinks. It's a popular new spot, so it's always busy here, especially among students and remote workers. It's always busy at night too since it's the only cafe for miles that's open late at night. The Saffron Adeni was way too sweet for me though. It's similar to chai, but not as good, so I wouldn't order it again.

I ordered a chai latte. They brought me a real chai latte, not an Americanized version. It was so strong, I was up for 20 hours and had a headache. I did not finish my drink. Although, I do not tolerate caffeine well. I came to work on my laptop. There are 1-2 outlets. The place is nice inside. There was an unruly customer, and staff asked them to leave, which was so amazing. Everyone is just trying to wake up and relax or work. Great spot for people watching too

I met a friend here for a weekend treat and got the Adeni chai latte with oat milk, bee bites, and knafeh. The chai was pretty standard, not sweet at all, and similar in taste and quality to other Middle Eastern cafés in the City. My friend suggested to try the bee bites and knafeh, and I'm glad they did because both were delicious. I especially liked the knafeh, which was lightly sweet and nutty. Pistachios are my favourite type of nuts, so it was the perfect choice. The shop is rather small and cozy but still has quite a bit of seating, and I saw most people working on their laptops here. It seems like this place is very conducive to working, as it's well lit with a lot of natural light and not too loud. They also have a restroom for convenience if you find yourself here for a while. Between the coffee, treats, and amenities, this place is fully equipped for a productive work session while also being suitable for a coffee chat. I had a pleasant experience here and look forward to coming back again.

Enjoyed a Hazari Mufawar (coffee with cardamon and cream) on an early rainy morning while waiting for my car to be serviced. It was my first time trying Yemen coffee. The coffee was rich and cardamon always makes me feel cozy and warm on the insides. The cafe itself is spacious and the light jazz made for a relaxing morning. There is free wifi and pastries and desserts for purchase. Staff are friendly and will help answer questions for recs.

I love Haraz for their food, drinks, ambiance, and hours. I've tried a few of their sweets and they're all great, especially the pistachio based ones. I typically get their pistachio latte or chai latte. The service is quick and they're knowledgeable of the menu. Plenty of seating despite many people using the space a work/study space. I like coming in the day to work/study under the sun and letting my eyes rest when I take a break to people watch Franklin St. Their hours are great too as they're open a bit later than most cafes nearby.

Great find! Delicious coffee with cardamom and cream. The pistachio croissant was also delicious and had pistachio cream running through it. Will def be back to try other pastries and coffees!

Yemen is the home to the creation of coffee, the home to hospitality, and the home to flavor. Haraz brings so much honor to that. Their Turkish coffee was delightful, it embodied the bold flavors of cardamom that partner beautifully with the most delightful house roasts used. Their pistachio latte tasted too syrupy for my liking but it had some great flavor. Haraz is great for studying and spending time there. The volume of clientele wasn't forgiving for my trip there, and the store was greatly understaffed. It seemed like there were only two employees at 8 am, with a rush of guests. The staff handled it gracefully, but the wait was longer than it should've been. I would come again and I can't wait to enjoy the calm atmosphere that's perfect for working, studying, and conversing.

I ordered the cashier's recommendations:  *Iced Mufawar (cold brew coffee with cardamom and cream): Subtle taste of cardamom. *Pistachio Latte: Subtle taste of pistachio. *Rose Milk Cake: Sweet, milky, and decadent. Faint taste of rose. Nothing stood out to me. I do wish they'd intensify the flavors of their drinks and desserts. The best part of this experience is the glowy, opulent interior - pretty for coffee dates and cozy for a productive stay.

Had high hope trying their coffee, it didn't turn out good, especially for the price. $9.35 for a large latte with almond milk. Coffee tasted nothing special, but sour, light, water down, couldn't taste much almond milk when this is a latte. Compared a lot of other coffee in the city, not recommended. Unique decor, unique sweets, but have not tried, not going to comment on that. Service was ok.

*** Dubai Chocolate Bar Review *** Before I get called a hater and receive angry DMs/comps, please hear me out... I've been on a Dubai (Knafeh) Chocolate Bar kick lately. It's a milk chocolate bar with a pistachio cream, tahini, and toasted kataifi (shredded phyllo) filling. Ever since the original one from FIX went viral, local businesses around the globe have been making dupes since you cannot get the original without flying to Dubai. There's currently 4 places in the Bay Area that make their own rendition (that I've found so far): * LeVant Dessert, Menlo Park ($15) // 3.5 Stars * Hanna's Chocolates, Pleasanton ($35) // 5 Stars * C'est Si Bon Bakery, San Jose ($8.50) // Haven't tried it yet And, then there's Haraz Coffee in the city. They're the latest business in the bay to get on this viral food trend. Haraz Coffee is the most expensive - a 2 oz bar was $15! And, out of three I've tried, the most poorly made and worst tasting one (to me). The first bar I received had a deep crack on the top and the bottom corner was broken off. When I told the cashier, she said, "It's fine, it's wrapped". I politely asked for one that wasn't cracked since it was expensive. She scanned over the tray and handed me another one. As you can see, the second bar I received has a deep crack on the base and the corner piece cracked off (see pic): https://tinyurl.com/yuwwnm4f Forget about how it looks, how does it taste? Thin chocolate bar with a soggy brown filling that tasted nothing like pistachio cream with toasted kataifi. It was more like an off-brand almond joy bar that went bad. It went in the trash. Sorry but it's not cool to try to capitalize on a viral food trend *this* way.

We were passing by and it was windy so stepped in for a quick coffee and chai around 5.30 pm on a sunday evening. Its a corner shop with lots of street parking around it (which is free on sundays). As soon as you enter, you can smell the spices and nuts. They have a variety of seating options from couches to regular chairs to high chairs etc etc. You gotta self order standing in line and then they call out your order number when its ready for you to come pick it up from the coffee bar. In $30, we got: - cappuccino - 3.5/5 - it was a regular one, not bad but nothing special for it to cost $7 - tiramisu dessert - 4/5 - different flavor and moist. I liked that it wasnt loaded with heavy cream and had an authentic taste to it - kadak chai 4/5 - this was the regular india home masala tea. It seemed expensive for $5.50 - baby juice $2 - harazi mufawar 3/5 - turkish coffee with spices. Good to try something new, but not amazing. It had spices in coffee and too much milk for my taste Next time i will try baklava and milk cake. Deducting 1 star for not keeping baby high chair and another 1 star for keeping the menu so expensive for a self service coffee shop

This cafe is super close to work and I have been wanting to try the pistachio latte for a while now. Coerced a coworker to come with me for an afternoon pick-me-up and we both decided to try an iced pistachio latte ($7.85). Interior is pretty clean and looks like there is ample space to work. Unfortunately, our drink was weak with the espresso and also very faint with the pistachio flavor. My coworker decided to toss her drink after initially tasting it but I thought that was too wasteful, so continued to sip away at my drink. Eventually, I came to the same conclusion and decided that the calories weren't worth it, so tossed my drink as well. Total waste of $8 and some change after tax.

Here to say this place is YUMMY! Came during the week a little after 9am. Lots of tables still available and only one person in line in front of me. I had about a 5 min wait for my coffee and pastry order. The menu was huge, with traditional drinks and specialties, but I ordered an iced pistachio latte and "bee bites" - aka honeycomb bread - soft, fluffy rolls stuffed with w cream cheese and drizzled in honey. Wow it was so delicious warm!! Ended up eating the whole thing there it was so tasty! The pistachio latte was sweet at first sip, but as I mixed it around it was more balanced. I enjoyed my first trip and can't wait to try more off their menu! Seems like a peaceful atmosphere to bring your laptop and work too.

I dropped by around noon on a Tuesday and it wasn't too busy. There was plenty of seating and it was extremely calm and peaceful inside the cafe! The staff are kind and my coffee came out quickly. I ordered an iced harazi coffee and it was good! The cream to coffee ratio was exactly how I liked it. However, the spice was a lot stronger than I expected so each sip was kind of a surprise. I probably wouldn't order it again as it wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm glad I tried it! I also ordered a portion of the rose milk cake and it was so delicious! The milky rose syrup was drenched through the whole cake in the best way. Rose flavor was subtle but a nice touch and overall it was just so pretty to look at. I tried some baklava too and it was decadent. The syrup was exactly what I wanted in my system. I will say, the portion is kind of small but it is yummy! I must've stayed in here for at least an hour just chit chatting with a friend. It was a nice place to catch up over a cup of coffee and there were people doing work too! Great place to meet up or to get some work done.

We were craving coffee after lunch and Haraz was the closest thing to our restaurant. I've never had a pistachio latte before, and this was the best I've tried! Usually when someone says "(a flavor) latte," it's either a very dull flavor or way too strong for my liking. The pistachio was such a great touch, enough to taste it but also still the flavor of coffee and still gave me energy! Once you hit the bottom of the drink you even chew bits of pistachios...such a great touch to a drink! They were also very quick making my drink, I didn't have to wait longer than 3-5 minutes. Coming into the shop, everyone seemed to be doing work on their laptops/studying so if you need a place with outlets and an ambience for focusing on work: this is the place! The parking in this area is all street parking but it's not too sketchy of an area where you don't wanna park. I wasn't able to try some of their sweets or other foods, but it's definitely worth checking out. The decorations and seating is all unique and fits the shop well. If I'm in the area and I need to suggest caffeine, this is the place to go!

Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 My friends and I really wanted to love this place because the interior decor was stunning, and I had never had Yemeni coffee before! My friends got the iced Mufawar, but the cardamom flavor was so overpowering that they couldn't finish their drinks. I was boring that day and just went with a plain latte, which was fine. Now I'm wishing I had tried the pistachio latte - maybe if I had, this would be a higher rating.

The service here is excellent. My friends were at the coffee shop waiting for me to pick them up to take them to the airport. The baristas told them to let them know when I was near so they can make my americano fresh and it wouldn't take long. The Americano was smooth with no bitterness. The inside nice and clean.

Amazing coffee house with friendly staff and great drinks and food. Includes WiFi, places to do work, a lot of good vibes. You can try a selection of amazing pastries including pistachio croissants, baklava, cakes, and Yemeni honeycomb bread. They have great drink options including a delicious pistachio latte and middle eastern style coffees. Their matcha latte is also great. You won't be disappointed! Come support this local gem.

I don't remember what I had, but it was pretty good. My brother and his partner said the coffee and tea were pretty good. We were about 45 minutes early for an early evening experience at nearby Audium, so we ducked in here to wet our whistles and kill some time. It was a Saturday, yet the place was jam-packed with what looked like undergraduates, grad students, and medical students. In March, on a Saturday evening, in Lower Pac Heights? Where did all these laptop campers and group studiers live that this was the most convenient coffeehouse to hunker down in? And why were they so busy studying on a Saturday? We tried to figure this out as we waited for a place to sit. Sadly, only single seats became free, and while I was holding my companions' drinks as they used the bathroom, I wasn't fleet of foot enough to claim a just abandoned table before another studying committee of vultures swooped in to claim the table. We ended up drinking and munching as we walked around the neighborhood. It's a nice place, but the clientele is a little too every-man-for-himself. Is that the business's fault? Probably. They encourage it by not enforcing rules against laptop camping when it gets busy. I wanted to enjoy my drink and snack inside, but I couldn't.

New Year, new coffee. Sail your dreamship to the Gulf of Aden and dock in the port of Yemen. Experience the hospitality of the Arabian Peninsula right here at Franklin and Bush. Haraz Coffee House serves up Yemeni coffee drinks in a lovely and welcoming café. Exotic coffee drinks using spices from the Levant are on offer along with delicacies from the region; think pistachios within baked goods. I drink Qishr because I can't do caffeine. Qishr is made from spices coffee husks and I can't get enough!

Be prepared to stand around for a while, because there likely won't be any seating with all the people parking their laptops there for hours with an empty drink. The food and drinks are fine, but a lot more expensive than what you'd pay at other Yemeni cafes in the bay, minus being able to sit.

Solid cafe for WFH with long hours! They're open from 7:00AM to 11:00PM with wifi and lots of space. I got a hot Pistachio Latte ($7.95 pricey but we stayed for a long time) and Bee Bites (cream cheese filled bread with honey on the side). The bites were so yummy and served heated up so the warmed cream cheese was melty. It is quite loud in here so probably don't take meetings inside.

Recently became one of my favorite study spots especially since it's open late. This clean and spacious Yemeni coffee shop offers a taste of the Middle East with its aromatic cardamom-infused brews and warm hospitality. The cardamom flavor in the Mufarwar was an interesting twist for a traditional USA coffee snob like myself, you'll either love it or hate it. I loved it personally as it was aromatic & flavorful without overpowering the coffee. The staff are very gracious and attentive which I'm always happy to see. Fair warning, the Baked treats they have in the displays are as addictively good as they look. I'll update my review once I've toured more of the menu, until then stay classy my foodie friends.

I really enjoy the drinks and pastries available. I have tried the pistachio latte, the iced adeni, the vegan croissant, and the honey cream cheese bread. All of them were delicious. The service is fairly quick as I can order from them within my 10 min break at work. The iced Adeni is my favorite drink! You can control the sweetness and the barista was so nice to make my drink very lightly sweet. The Pistachio Latte is very good but if you're not a fan of sweet coffees I recommend asking for a lighter sweetening in it. The coffee shop is very cute and has big windows, making it pretty aesthetic. It is on the pricier side so I cannot get it too often.

Love this cafe for the vibes -- there's free wifi and outlets so it's perfect for getting some work done or chilling, which a lot of other people here are doing. I ordered the iced adeni which is the iced version of their chai, and it was very refreshing. The spices they use in the drink are super interesting. Would want to try their coffee and desserts next time!

The adeni chai was bitter for some reason with a film on top of the tea. We always order the adeni at Yemeni cafes but here it was extremely bitter and not done well. We got the pistachio baklava rolls - a favorite, very good . The backlawa and the honey bee bites were okay

Really wanted to like this place but it just missed the mark. It was definitely cute and a nice vibe inside but had some issues I can't overlook. I was hoping for a nice decaf latte but they weren't able to make anything decaf which was a huge disappointment. I went with the hot chocolate which wasn't bad but just average, and it also was given to me to go even though I didn't ask for that. My friends got a cardamom coffee but it was extremely strong flavor and the cardamom was just absolutely much too overpowering to properly enjoy. The bee bites bread was definitely yummy and somewhat made up for the other things, but the honey flavor was a bit strong and we probably would've muted it down just a bit. Service was decent, appropriate and no complaints.

Aiman the barista is BASED. He is like a super-intelligent coffee making AI and always has my signature iced americano ready the moment I order. Truly, he is the Aiman of coffee LET'S BREAK IT DOWN: - Coffee Quality : IT TASTES GOOD - Food & Pastries : I had one once and it was tasty - Ambiance : So much better than my apartment I hate working in that tiny dungeon - Work/Study Friendliness : They let you stay in the same spot for hours and have PLUGS FOR YOU TO CHARGE YOUR COMPUTER(!!!!!!!) - Service & Staff : They are all just so great - Pricing & Value : I spend half my salary here it's wonderful - Sustainability & Ethics : They donate over six trillion dollars per year to kids with bone warts - Location & Accessibility : It's just outside of the Tenderloin so you don't get harrassed by them which is so great ****Overall Verdict & Final Thoughts:**** In summary this place is so based and you should come here it's really just wow YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my new favorite go to coffee shops in SF. I've been here a couple times, and it's always a pleasure to swing by. The baristas are so kind and open to share their recommendations. The first time I was there, I thought I had ordered an iced matcha. When I received it hot, I had no qualms about it - I didn't want to make too much trouble so I asked for a cup of ice to do it myself. The barista understood right away that we wanted it originally iced, let us keep the original hot latte, and gave us an iced matcha soon after. She was so sweet, I greatly appreciated the service and kindness. I typically order either the hot pistachio or matcha lattes (and that's coming from someone who religiously gets their lattes iced). Sweet, but not too sweet. (Baristas are also aware of everyone's different preferences; if you prefer less or more sweet, just kindly ask and they'll do their best to adjust accordingly). The shop has a number of tables and seats. I've come in to see a variety of groups - some are studying/working, most are there with friends or family chatting. I'm not too sure if this is a great wfh spot (I've only visited during evenings), but if you have a pair of noise cancelling headphones and are able to grab a seat, it should be fine.

Great place to get work done! Lots of seating, pastries, drink options, and wifi. There were some outlets but they didn't seem to be working. Friendly staff and chill music too to make this place even better. I'll definitely be back.

Every time I leave this place I just can't wait to come back. All the drinks come out made with love, rich, and flavorful. Wi-Fi, lit well with windows to watch out of, and the service has always been friendly. Huge fan. Nice work, Haraz.

I've never been to a coffee shop where the staff was so rude and unaccommodating. I came in around 8:15 a.m. and ordered a traditional Turkish coffee. After taking one sip, I realized it wasn't for me -- no big deal. I politely asked if I could order something else instead, which happened to be about $4 cheaper. When I asked if I could get the difference back, the woman at the counter looked at me and said, "You don't get any." I was confused and said, "Wait, what I'm ordering now is cheaper," to which she smirked and pointed at the Turkish coffee and replied, "Yeah, but what am I supposed to do with that?" I was shocked by the attitude, especially so early in the morning. I calmly said, "You know what, I don't want anything," and decided to just leave. She ended up refunding my original order but then aggressively tried to force the coffee back on me, saying, "Just take it 'cause I'm gonna toss it." When I politely declined again, she raised her voice at me on my way out. It was an unnecessarily hostile interaction over a simple request. I've never felt so disrespected in a coffee shop. Definitely won't be returning. Why would work here this unhappy?

My friend recommended we hit up this coffee spot after getting brunch in the same area. I was super excited try Yemeni coffee since I have had it before. Upon entering, the coffee shop is super cozy. There is quite a bit of seating but the space is pretty small. I can see it getting filled up pretty quickly with coffee dates and people studying so that's something to be aware of. I got the pistachio latte and it was okay, it was lacking in pistachio flavor, I probably would try something else next time since they have a wide selections of other delicious sounding drinks. I also tried the haraz latte with oatmilk which was okay. We ordered a slice of the baklava cake and that was delicious. I would definitely love to try their other baked goods. Parking: street parking, we ended up parking at a parking garage and walked 10 minutes to get there. At one point it seemed like our cashier was impatient when we were ordering and it kinda came off as rude. This left a bit of a bitter taste after we ordered. It may have been because they were busy but I think it's still important to be respectful and kind to customers. Overall, if its convenient for me, I would come back to try something new but I wouldn't make this place a necessity to go to.

First time patron and future regular - the desserts and pastries here are so perfect. There were 3 milk cake flavors (rose,pistachio,biscoff), bee bites, 3 Turkish delight flavors, and plenty of other pastries, I went after lunch so I was expecting slim pickings but was pleasantly surprised that I had quite a few options. The Turkish delights I'm saving for later so can't comment now but presentation wise you can see they are very pretty. The milk cake was tasty, not overly sweet or too soaked - slightly less rose flavor than I was expecting. The lady working was nice and answered all my questions about the selections. There was plenty of seating available and many people working or getting a bite with friends. Not too crowded and not too loud, seems like a great place for a few hours during work from home.

Loved this cafe! Great ambiance, great service with a smile. Great matcha :) Stumbled upon this place on a rainy, windy day in the city. Wanted a little coffee pick me up with my friends. There is a fair amount of seating given we're in the city. Parking is street parking. Lots of people catching up with friends, working, or studying. My matcha latte is really good! Oat milk and less sweet was the way to go -- i love matcha lattes so I usually use that to gauge a place. The bee bites was such a good little snack! It was light with a little crunch, the cream cheese with the honey, yummm. Recommend!

I've tried too many times coming to this place and actually sitting down to enjoy good Yemeni tea and good conversation like a normal person at a normal coffee shop. Unfortunately it has now been taken over and used as a coworking space. I asked one of the workers if there was any time limit and she said there wasn't. Tables for 4 people were being occupied by one person on a laptop ordering 1 cup of coffee every hour. I came in with 4 people and we just had to leave because we weren't about to wait hours to get a table at a coffee shop. Absolutely ridiculous! It's unfortunate to lose business because people who could be working at home or working at the library come to this place and take over for hours on end and the business owners who allow it.

Drive past this place so many times and would love to try but really disappointed. Shop looks nice and modern so I expect it with the drinks but coffee tastes very bland and didn't feel any coffee taste at all. Very pricey if compared to other places. Service is neither nice nor bad.

This shop is close to perfect in its preparation. We ordered the Yemeni style coffee, perfumed with cardamom, and a perfect little walnut baklava. The counter service is polite, efficient, and knowledgeable. The only drawback might be that the customers seemed to camp at the tables, but you might make a new friend. 4.5 stars.

Delightful spot! Having recently developed an obsession for Dubai chocolate, stumbling upon this cafe that is open late and early, has a plentiful and unique selection of coffee and teas, lots of pistachio and knafeh pastries right in my neighborhood is incredible. Such cute presentation too! Nice vibe for working or chilling. Will be returning to try more menu items.
