"New coffee chains like Qahwah House are turning into night-time hot spots that serve as third spaces for Muslim American culture." - ByFarhan Mustafa
"This Yemeni coffee shop in Williamsburg is open until 11pm on weeknights and 1am on the weekends, but it’s a scene at all hours, especially on the weekends. There’s a small window on weekday afternoons when you can actually get some reading done, but by 4pm, it fills up with friends and families sharing fresh pots of spiced Adeni chai. An evening table in the cramped space can be hard to come by, as people tend to linger over flaky homemade khaliat al nahl, drizzled with honey. But who can blame them—we’re just as reluctant to leave once we get caffeinated and chatty. Qahwah House also has another location in the West Village." - neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
"The khaliat alnahl from this Yemeni cafe on Bedford has saved us from sassing our significant others and sending passive-aggressive emails to our coworkers. Something about the combination of honey, cheese, and flaky pastry soothes our irritability like something taken in the company of Midol. The pastry is stuffed with cream cheese, toasted, and then drizzled with honey right when it comes out of the oven. Stop in to try some of their other pastries and one of their pour-over coffee options." - hannah albertine
"Khaliat Alnahl “A combination of cheese, pastry, and honey can do no wrong. And yet, the khaliat alnahl from this new Yemeni coffee spot in Williamsburg took that trifecta to a whole new level. The pastry is stuffed with cream cheese, toasted in the oven, and then drizzled with honey right when it comes out of the oven. I finally tried it this past weekend after a pleasant, not-too-windy stroll over the Williamsburg Bridge, and will absolutely be back for a coffee and more pastries.” - Carlo Mantuano, Staff Editor" - team infatuation
