Love the coffee and pastries here (especially the mini pies!) Seating is always a challenge, its all 2 tops and always packed with students and laptops, but worth a stop if you can swing it.

We visited this establishment 35-40minutes before closing and ordered two coffees (Spanish latte and Lotus latte) along with a piece of cake, specifying that we wanted to drink inside from regular cups. The cashier confirmed that this was possible.
After a long wait (our order was given to us only 15
minutes before closing), a staff member approached us and informed us that they couldn’t add whipped cream, even though it had been paid for and included in our order. Then, without any prior notice, they handed everything to us in takeout containers and paper cups.
Additionally, instead of the Lotus latte I ordered, I received a Shabam latte. No one acknowledged the mistake, apologized, or offered a solution.
The service was poorly organized: the order was given without a cup holder or even a paper bag, despite the fact that I had a broken arm, forcing me to carry two hot coffees and a cake with my hands.
Overall, the experience was very disappointing. Lack of coordination among staff, zero customer care, and complete indifference toward visitors — I hope the management takes steps to improve their service quality.

Went to try this place with my friends for a little afternoon snack and coffee. We all agreed it’s such a nice spot to share a short break and enjoy something delicious. The two coffees we tried were amazing — my friend had the hot pistachio latte and I had the hot lotus latte, both 10/10!
The honeycomb pastry is definitely something I’d come back for — such a delicious treat! I had never tried it before, but it’s the perfect combo for a cozy coffee afternoon.
The coffee shop has a great atmosphere too — perfect if you want to get some work done or just relax. It’s nice, spacious, and quiet.

The Shiba latte was wonderful. Loved the cardamom, ginger and cinnamon flavors with the coffee. The cashier was great about working around my dairy allergy.

Love this coffee shop! It can be busy(which makes sense because of the location) but the workers are always so sweet and the drinks are always worth the wait!

I visited last weekend. The atmosphere is great. Very lively and always filled with students. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. However, the food was a letdown; the cakes and pastries weren’t good at all in my opinion.

Went to see what all the hype about was, and can happily say it’s worth it! The pistachio latte, though expensive, was absolutely delicious. The pistachio flavor was nice and strong, a great balance of nuttiness and sweetness. Make sure to mix it up a lot, and try not to finish it in five minutes like I did!
Pastries and cakes are also very good looking! These style of pastries are traditionally quite sweet, so make sure to be aware, but the flavors are some of my favorite so still try them! Overall great spot and I want more late night coffee shops like this one!

Authentic Yemeni coffee and tea with rich flavor and a cozy vibe. The honeycomb dessert is amazing and pairs perfectly with the coffee. Friendly staff and a great spot to relax!

I used to frequent this place at least three times a week, but I won’t be returning. My last three visits were disappointing due to the behavior of a light-skinned veiled staff member, who consistently displayed a major attitude for no apparent reason. I understand everyone can have a bad day, but this seemed to happen every single time.
During my most recent visit, I was the only person in line and had to wait over 10 minutes just for a drink. I even asked if someone else could take my order, and she responded harshly and didn’t apologize, simply staring at me in silence. Fortunately, another gentleman eventually took my order and was absolutely courteous, which was appreciated.
Additionally, the quality of their Adani tea has noticeably declined. It used to be the best Adani I’ve ever had since they opened, but whatever they serve today is far from that standard.

Really Yemeni coffees. Tried a qishr. Like it and it would be really good on a cold day. Spicy and aromatic but not hot spicy. Will go back to try other coffees.
