Incredible chai and excellent service. Chatted with the person behind the counter for a bit and he was so nice and gave me a bit of the history as to why there are more and more yemeni cafes popping up (I lived here many years ago and was back to visit). He recommended the chai over the house latte and it was a solid one. They make it on the spot so it’s literally boiling hot. I had it to-go and part of me thought the cup was going to melt and hello microplastic! If any that’s the only thing for me, not a criticism per se, but it took 20 mins for it to cool down enough to take a sip. Delicious though! Lots of people working with their laptops, and some mingling. Seems like it is a neighborhood hub.

It's a local Arabian Yemeni theme coffee shop / tea house. It's clean and decent with very nice decoration with wall prints and decor with both indoor and outdoor seatings. There are many delicious pastries and bakeries and drinks with Mediterranean flavors. They still serve classic/original flavors as well. Service is coffee-shop like order-to-sit-and-clean. There is WiFi to work, study and browse. Good for students, remote workers. Great for groups, kids, seniors, meetup and couples. Free street parking and paid parking available.

First time here and it's my new favorite cafe. Lovely and lively atmosphere. Yemeni and Turkish pastry, sweets, coffee, tea. They have many clearly labeled vegan and gluten-free items. Staff was friendly and the vibe was perfect for meeting friends, working, or studying. Also plenty of outlets and good wifi!

They are so nice here. The chocolate chip tahini sesame cookies are so good. I can’t resist getting one every time I come. I love the couch seating. Great place to come for a meeting or to get some remote work done. Highly recommend. 4 hours free parking in the lot on the backside.

Insanely high quality adeni / karak tea. And yummy pastries and sweets. Nice peaceful, well designed space to hang out in. Friendly service as well. Flawless execution. If this place were in Manhattan it would have lines to get in.

We were visiting from Seattle Washington and got a bit lost, but the staff went above and beyond to help us find the location. We loved the café’s vibe—especially being able to listen to the Quran. Amazing customer service and great-tasting coffee. Highly recommend

Immaculate vibes. We ordered a pot of Adeni chai and some Khaliat al’nahl and enjoyed the ambiance. Highly recommend for an authentic Yemeni experience.

Truly a 5 star place on everything! Great space to work/study, read, hang with friends- you name it. Free wifi & outlets, super friendly service, great food/drink options. Ample indoor and outdoor seating, half the room having wooden tables/chairs and half being more comfortable and cushioned. I saw a fair amount of people working on laptops or papers when I came in but also some friends just chatting and lounging together so the space is really set up for both, which is nice. Also great for working if you want to sit down and stay at a place for a while or stay late- it’s open until 9:30pm every day!! In my experience, there were less people as the day crept toward later evening. The interior is beautiful and a whole vibe. I never drink coffee but the iced mohka house latte I got here was super yummy and I’d get it again. I’d also recommend the puffy honey bread with cream cheese (both pictured). Nut allergen warning- there are a lot of nuts, especially in the desserts, but the staff was good about checking and communicating with me around this.

Been here twice in the last week for pot service. First time was during the day on a Saturday. Although busy, we managed to find a table to enjoy our 18 oz Yemeni tea, which was delicious! It was infused with cardamom and nutmeg. We also had the veggie quiche (no pic), a little runny in the center, but the overall taste was very good. The second visit was tonight, a Thursday evening around 7:45p. We ordered the 18 oz Qishir, a coffee husk tea and caffeine free. Quite interesting, dark and on the bitter side. My friend did not like it, so I ended up enjoying it on my own. On both occasions, the gentleman behind the counter was very helpful with all of our questions regarding the drinks and pastries. It gave him great pleasure to ensure our experience was positive! Looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu!!

This place is such a gem. The chai is honestly one of the best I’ve had: rich, perfectly spiced, and not overly sweet. The space is beautiful and cozy, with plenty of seating. The Yemeni inspired decor and warm lighting make it such a welcoming spot to catch up with friends or just relax with a drink. So glad Oakland has this.
