i used to love coming to haraz but at my last visit i ordered a “pistachio latte” i was confused because at first it looked like a matcha latte, but when i asked the baristas/ workers he reassured me that it was a pistachio latte not matcha. i figured that maybe the foam on top was just green, but once i took a sip of the latte, i noticed that it was a very dark green color.
i went up to the counter again just to confirm it was a pistachio latte, and the manager reassured me once again— but when i asked “why is it so green?? i came here months ago and it was a regular coffee color” he told me that customers used to complain that the pistachio latte wasn’t “green enough” so they add dye to make it greener now and “whoever made your drink probably added too much dye”….huh??!??!
i just want to say that i loved haraz, it used to be one of my fav spots, everyone that works there is so nice, customer service is 10/10!! but it’s sad that i cannot return knowing that they are secretly putting dye in the lattes. i don’t think a few customers complaining that their pistachio latte “isn’t green enough” should warrant everyone getting dye in their lattes (real pistachio shouldn’t even be that color!!)
it’s highly unethical put dye in your customer’s lattes without their knowledge. had i known that this is something they do, i would’ve asked for it with no dye💔

I’ve been putting hopes on this place since they opened and it turned out as I expected, great. Finally we got the chance to visit and try the Adani tea their as a big fan for yemeni adani tea this one was so close to what we tried before in the Middle East. The decor was very nice even the service they were nice. And you should really try the bee bites it worth it , we really loved it . So that is your sign to visit the place, highly recommended.

During my last visit, I found the establishment quite crowded, so I returned on a weekday afternoon. This time, I was fortunate enough to secure a table. The spacious, clean, and modern ambiance creates a pleasant environment. The service was commendable, with staff efficiently delivering orders to the table, which is a refreshing change from typical self-service places that still expect a tip.
I had the opportunity to try the pistachio latte, which was rich and creamy with just a hint of spice—well-balanced and not overwhelming. The Bee Bites, featuring light bread drizzled with honey, also served as a delightful treat that paired beautifully with the bold flavors of the pistachio latte. There were also several other desserts on display, and I am looking forward to returning to explore them further.
Update: July 20, 2025 During our recent visit, we tried some of their impressive treats and highly recommend them. The Strawberry Matcha Latte was a surprisingly delicious combination, creating a refreshing and flavorful beverage. The Salted Caramel Latte showcased the perfect balance of subtle sweetness and saltiness, crafted with espresso. The Pistachio Cheesecake was rich and creamy, elevated by a luscious pistachio cream. The White Chocolate Mosaic Cake was a delightful sweet treat, featuring a dense, pudding-like texture that paired beautifully with any latte.

My experience at Haraz Coffee House left me feeling really uncomfortable. A man working there named Jameel behaved in a way that made me uneasy. I also learned of some unusual activities connected to the owner. On top of that, the coffee and pastries were disappointing and didn’t taste good. DO NOT recommend
Not what I expected but still really wonderful. Felt much higher call then I expected. Next time I won't go straight from the gym 😅

Coffee Traveler Chronicles
Coffee Shop No. 522 Haraz Coffeehouse Fairfax, VA July 13, 2025
In Yemen, the word Haraz is almost always associated with the Haraz Mountains and the renowned coffee grown there. So it felt perfectly fitting to discover a coffee house carrying the name Haraz.
The setting at Haraz Coffee House is tranquil, with large windows and a soft beige color scheme accented by warm wood. The barista was patient and gracious as I looked over the menu and asked questions, even seeming genuinely enthusiastic when I inquired about the meaning of “Haraz.”
I eventually ordered a Turkish coffee—my second favorite coffee drink after the cortado. It arrived on a beautiful copper tray, served in a matching cezve (long-handled pot) with a small duncan cup traditionally used for Turkish coffee. The presentation was elegant, perfectly complementing the atmosphere of the space.
As I slowly sipped the thick, bold flavors of the Turkish coffee, I let my thoughts drift over the past year of my life and quietly praised God for the blessings it has held.
Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

This was my first time visiting the Haraz Coffee location in Fairfax, and it was honestly disappointing. I usually go to the one in North Carolina and have never had an issue there, but this location completely missed the mark. We ordered an iced mufawar coffee, and it tasted like chalk. We asked if they could remake it, and they offered an iced caramel macchiato instead but that one also tasted the same, just bad. We also ordered a green tea that somehow tasted off, almost like red tea, and when we mentioned it, they didn’t seem to care or offer to fix it. The overall customer service was lacking. No one seemed to care about feedback or making sure we enjoyed our drinks. The only person who was polite was the hijabi girl wearing leopard , everyone else seemed uninterested and dismissive. I’ve been to other Yemeni coffee shops that really care about their customers and deliver great service, but this one was the complete opposite. Definitely won’t be coming back here again.

Lovely place! Such a gem in Nova. The place is spacious and very elegant. Got the pumpkin spice latte and date cake. Delicious!! They also have knaffeh and arabi dessert. Best part is that its Yemeni :) !!! I will definitely be going back.
