An airy, inviting Yemeni tea house with a modern twist. Qamaria is beautifully lit, with plenty of seating, soft ambient music, and original artwork.
Their selections feature richly spiced teas, coffees, and desserts. The menu is well curated with helpful descriptions, and very accessible to newcomers.
Ghirardelli syrups are used in some of their sweeter confections; from their in-house original ingredients to those they bring from outside, no shortcuts are taken when it comes to quality.
The staff is friendly, and will happily guide you should you have questions or need recommendations.
If you've never had Yemeni Tea, I recommend reaching for the Adeni style. It's warming: sweet, creamy and spicy, similar to a Chai or Chai tea latte. You can opt to get multiple servings in a medium or large sized kettle, and they will provide you a stand with a tea light to set your pot on, which keeps it warm.
The pistachio milk cake is very pretty. The texture is moist, and the flavors are delicate with a balance of cake to cream topping. It's a nice compliment to the powerhouse tea, which could stand alone well enough. This place is a must-try!
