I’ve been to this new Qamaria location three times now, and I’m so glad they finally opened in Washington! It’s exciting to see the Qamaria franchise expanding — the Redmond spot has a warm atmosphere, great service, and a beautiful ambiance that will have you spending hours inside.
The menu has a great variety, and the desserts are consistently excellent, especially their fluffy cakes and the honeycomb bread, which they absolutely nailed (not easy to get right, so props to them!). The Adeni tea is one of my favorites, though it hasn’t always been consistent, sometimes it’s perfect and other times has a bit less evaporated milk. Still, when it’s right, it’s amazing.
The iced pistachio latte is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth (like me), and the Qamaria latte is also a must-try. My only real suggestion would be to update or note items that aren’t available , I’ve tried ordering the Araisi three times now, including before and after the grand opening, and it’s still not available. It’s one of my childhood favorites, so I’m hoping they add it soon!
Overall, Qamaria Redmond is a fantastic addition to the area. A few tweaks and it’ll easily be one of the best cafés around. Excited to keep coming back and see how they grow!
