Qahwah House Coffee - Astoria Queens

It has become my favorite place to go for coffee in Astoria. My go-to coffee is Jubani - medium, light roast coffee, and coffee husks with cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon. I usually get it with honey instead of sugar. I typically like spiced flavor teas and coffee; thus, I end up loving the taste of Jubani too. If you don’t like the taste of coffee husks and are looking for something stronger, then you can try Sana’ani. The best part is that neither Jubani nor Sana’ani comes with milk; making it perfect for people like us who are lactose intolerant. There are other coffees without milk or cream but I didn’t try them yet. Another three must-try items from the menu are Khaliat Alnahl, Pistachio Milk Cake, and Feta Spinach. All three of them are delectable, particularly the Pistachio Milk Cake. (Took Lactaid Supplements before having them 😋). The Feta Spinach was flaky, light, and delicious. It perfectly pairs with a small pot of Jubani. I had also tried the Basbousa but was slightly disappointed with the taste as it wasn’t moist and flavorful like a typical Basbousa that I had tried before in other places.

Place was packed and pretty loud for a lazy Saturday afternoon. Interior is very well designed. Adani chai was recommended by the person at the register and it was OK Refresher was way better than the Dunkin and Starbux. Honey comb bread was good. Careful with the tea it is served piping hot

Lovely coffee shop with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere! I had a chocolate croissant and an Iced Adeni Chai. The barista asked me if I wanted sugar and I said “a little,” and while it was delicious enough regardless, I should’ve gone with the standard amount of sugar haha! They know what they’re doing. It was definitely my favorite chai though, and the croissant was amazing too!

I ordered the Yemeni iced latte, but I think the taste is something that people might have different opinions about. To me, it felt quite weak. If you enjoy a richer, stronger coffee, this might not be very satisfying. With the latte, I could barely taste the coffee itself. For dessert, I tried the saffron cake, which was very delicious. It took about 10 minutes for the coffee to be ready after I ordered.

VERY DISAPPOINTED! I paid the same price as always for Khaliat Almahl, but this time they gave me a much smaller portion (see photo). When I pointed it out, they tried to convince me that the smaller one is what I’m “supposed to get.” I’ve been coming here for a years and ordering the same thing every time. Don’t tell a loyal customer they’re wrong instead of admitting you reduced the portion! Charging the same money for less food and refusing to take responsibility on time. Won’t be coming back.

Tea was amazing. We had the yemeni tea and Moroccan mint. Also had a honeycomb pastry which was fabulous. Service and staff were awesome and very friendly and warm. Will be back!

Amazing energy here. Good coffee shop that’s open late 👍👌🙏. Love hanging out at coffee shops having deep dive confo’s with the caffeine I just ingested and this place is not boring. Amazing coffee, love the double expresso pot (Mufowar).

I loved the place l. I ordered caramel latte it was amazing and got also chocolate cake for dessert it was ok. They serve fast 10/10 and so police and helpful. The ambiance was nice
