Heyma Yemeni Coffee is located on a main and busy street, but not much foot traffic here, as it is away from the main areas where most of the students hang / walk around. Parking is street parking - I came here pretty late at night, so I was able to easily find parking right out front. The shop is a bit awkwardly situated, as both of their doors are at the ends, so it took me a minute to realized the main counter was on the other side, but they had plenty of seating areas from bar seating to booth style couches to chairs / tables. Ordering is at the front counter, if you are dining in, one of the employees will bring your drink(s) / snack(s) to your table after you order at the front.
Anyway, I was originally looking for a boba or coffee shop that opened decently late with seating / wifi - I read some reviews that this was a good study spot and they did not closed, until 11 PM that night. Unfortunately, after I ordered - I settled down and was comfortable, I pulled out my laptop and tried to connect to their wifi (they even have the wifi / password on every table for your convenience) and it did not work at all (I tried 3 -4 times and doubled / tripled check the wifi password before giving up). I did not even bother checking, if they had outlets at this point. Also, it is kind of a loud cafe with a lot of kids running around, so it was not the best spot to get some work done - I was hoping that I could add this cafe to my list for a new potential study spot, but it was a miss.
I did not find a drink on the menu that interested me, so I ordered one of their pastries - their Honeycomb. It is a cream cheese filled bread topped with honey. It was decently priced for the size. It was pretty good, but I wished it was a bit more fluffy / soft, as it was a bit too crispy / well toasted - there also was a decent amount of cream cheese and honey as well, so it was both savory & sweet . Overall, 3.5 - 4 stars for the pastry I tried, but 2 - 2.5 stars for my experience / the ambience.
