Absolutely love this place -- my neighborhood go-to. Always a pleasure, staff super friendly, atmosphere very welcoming, and some of the best Yemeni coffee in NYC (and that's a high bar!). I buy my beans here too, and it's definitely worth the price tag. Very proud to be a regular here!
Adding my favorites and recommendations to my review: For drinks, I'm a huge fan of the classic adeni chai. The baristas here are so talented at getting the milk steamed perfectly and the sweetness at an excellent level (compared to somewhere like Qahwah House, where the drinks are super sweet). The seasonal honey butter latte was an immediate favorite as well. The lamb stew is phenomenal. I have celiac disease and can't confirm how good the sandwiches are, but every friend I bring here is obsessed with the chicken and lamb. I've had friends come all the way down from upper Manhattan just to get the sandwiches again. Staff are super accommodating about dietary restrictions. The fries are fantastic as well and I regularly get them as a side or on their own with a coffee.

Truly a fantastic experience! After a frosty commute, I began warming up with a hearty cup of Qishr tea. After sometime, I ordered one of the best, tasty sandwiches I’ve had since the womb, an experience I won’t ever have until the hereafter.
Everything was on point, the tasty food, the vigorous customer service, and the welcoming atmosphere. Shoutout to all staff working this Saturday shift, very good people (including the chefs, don’t ever forget them.)
More importantly props to Yusuf, he truly went above and beyond to serve me with such hospitality. The way he prepared orders and moved through the floor was beyond elegant almost as he was flowing with the air under his feet.
Loved the Baraka Milk, it just clicks and feels like home.

Amazing cappuccino, delicious lentil soup & avocado toast (could increase portion size of the latter), nicely labelled vegetarian options with good atmosphere and service!

The innovative coffee drinks are always interesting and sound delicious. Sometimes they are perfect and sometimes they miss, but it is always a pleasure trying them!

Amazing coffee quality and great service. Is easy to get your order from your table. The only thing is the Wi-Fi. In the back there's not really good wifi if you want to work there. But it's a perfect place to be relaxed and get a good coffee or a meeting with friends.
