I love the coffee and tea here. There's many options whether you want Something heavy or light. The Savory appetizers are fantastic as well as the delicious desserts.
The decor adds a fabulous touch.

Amazing coffee and pistachio dessert. The friendly guy at the counter recommended mufawaar coffee. It was a combo of community and college kids. Warm atmosphere. I only wish they had ceramic coffee cups. Totally worth it though for the taste overall.

Food and coffee are both good but I recommend taking them to-go. This is not the place to enjoy a coffee as you work. Both of the bathrooms were out of service and the machines behind the counter beep frequently and LOUDLY. Which is unfortunate because it has so much potential in that regard. The place is beautifully decorated and there are power outlets to charge laptops everywhere.

This coffee shop has great food for good prices. I recommend making the hot chocolate taste more milky. Love the place and the people.

We visited this place on Sunday August 31. I ordered hot tea. My husband ordered ice coffee and pastries I did not like that they only serve drinks in to go cups because I try to avoid microplastics, but I had my own to go cup. When I was ordering I told them I would bring my own cup from the car, but they still made it in a regular plastic cup. When I came back with my cup they suggested just pouring the tea from their cup into mine. Of course I refused and they remade the drinks, but that moment was unpleasant for me.
The music inside was very loud and the bathrooms were very dirty. I saw the owner’s comment saying the bathrooms are cleaned regularly, but during the several hours we spent there no one cleaned them. Their prices are like in good quality coffee shops, but the standards of cleanliness and quality are not the same.
The staff is very friendly and that is a big plus. As well, I think the menu should include Half and Half because we are in America and that is something you find everywhere. Unfortunately we will not be coming back.

Extremely poor customer service. The only employee working register was more engaged on his personal phone call than acknowledging a customer at the counter. I wont be going back. This my third trip and this is the second time this has happened with this employee specifically. I have spoken to others in the neighborhood who have had a similar experience.

Everything was great!! The tall guy with curly hair helped us a lot, but the lady that works had a lot of attitude, we told her it was our first time ordering and needed help with the order, she seemed off. Later when i was ready to order, i asked to make sure everything was right, and she was talking so slow, and charged me for something i didnt order, later when i told them, the guy helped me with a refund after, for the coffee i was accidentally charged. Everything else i would say amazingg! Had great time.

Aroma of the coffee hit you soon as you walk in. Greated by the owner. He made me a kunafa Chocolate latte. It was on the sweeter side but still tasted really good. Nice presentation 👏
Place , owner and employees felt very welcoming as you would expect from an authentic yemeni coffe. Cant wait for their new location to be open.
Best of luck

This place deserves way more hype, because it is amazing. I ran here, and not only was the sight of fun, unique flavour creations of coffee and matcha enough to make me drool, the Arabian ambience and music transported me to my family’s in Jordan, what with the familiar cushions and elaborate wall art.

I ordered their iced pistachio latte, and genuinely my jaw dropped when I took the first sip, because I wasn’t expecting it to taste that good. They use a very high quality spread that tastes like the nut itself, and adds a sweetness to the drink that does not overpower the coffee at all. It’s perfect. I noticed a lot of coffee use pistachio syrup for a pistachio flavoured drink, which I personally despise. But Heyma use a spread that really enhances the coffee. Going here is an experience, transporting you to a different place and culture. As a Middle Eastern girl myself, it is officially one of my favourite coffee shops in the world.
