If you love Yemeni cafés as much as I, you ought to fall in love with the one at 9th St of SoMa, from the Berkeley location to here in SF, it's Heyma Yemeni Coffee. Its interior, so stunning, it takes us way back to the dawn of time when Yemeni coffee has been successfully made. Red rugs dangling at the ceiling, red couches, and footrest all adorned in Dubai-ish designs. Splendid granite fountain in the middle is what makes this Yemeni café more enchanting!
It appeared to me that I missed the brunch and subs since it ends at 3 pm every day. At least I never missed what's available that early evening before closing time. Dubai cheesecake and a single shot Heyma coffee, not a shabby pair. The reason I chose single shot instead of double shot is that I rather avoid the crash from the caffeine. Added with Yemeni spices, Heyma coffee had a pleasurable taste and aroma.
I have yet to visit Heyma Yemeni Coffee, whether it's Adeni chai or matcha green tea latte. I'm surprised Heyma sells matcha drinks, just like Elaichi in South Berkeley.
