The only Yemeni coffee shop you can find in Fremont past midnight. I decided to try their Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake, Pistachio, and Rose Milk cakes, including their popular Pistachio Latte and Adeni Tea with less to no sugar. Ordering was simple, and there was no line, yet all the seats were full in the afternoon.
Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake- my favorite and less sweet than a regular Dubai chocolate bar when paired with any coffee, lattes, or teas
Pistachio Milk Cake- moist, very bright green like Pandan color, expected some pistachio crumbs on top, but never happened. Not much pistachio flavor going on.
Rose Milk Cake- a bit too moist with a hint of artificial rose taste; looks pretty, but not worth eating again
Pistachio Latte (hot)- substitute it with almond milk and less sweet; soothing and creamy to drink
Adeni Tea- the creaminess reminds me of Hong Kong-style milk tea with cardamom spices. Best to order without sugar and whipped cream when paired with any dessert to prevent a sugar crash.
I love their simple decor and their Yemeni/ Arabic instrumental playlist, which made it less distracting to work and talk. I appreciated how the baristas cleared the trays and dishes that were left on the table right away. They're also available on DoorDash, both for pickup and delivery (extra charge).
