I had this spot bookmarked when it was called Shibam, but now it's called Aden. I'd never been to a Yemeni coffee shop and I was excited to try it out. My friend and I met up here on a Friday evening. Being located near ASU, it's a busy area and parking is hard to come by. There are a few reserved covered spots but they were all taken and I didn't want to risk parking in the apartment spots, so I parked elsewhere. It's got a nice atmosphere and vibe in here. The baristas were nice as we perused the menu. I knew what I was going to order from checking the menu online beforehand, but I wanted to double check. I got their adeni shai, which is their famous tea with cardamom, nutmeg and cream. I got it with honey instead of sugar and medium size. My friend ordered one of their seasonal drinks, the pumpkin adeni shai. There are a couple of table and chairs and we found a spot next to the entrance. I love their wide mugs and my drink was delicious. Comforting and just the right amount of sweetness. I joined their rewards program and got a free drink so I'd like to come back and try something else from their menu! read more

The staff working here are excellent! I came in to try the iced date latte and I had been trying to order via class pass. There was an issue with ordering that way and it likely isn't possible any longer but it was not clear on the app, and the baristas were so kind and generous with their customer service. I will definitely come back and try other menu items. The coffee I had was good, lightly sweetened with their house made date syrup. The menu is creative and unique for a tea & coffee shop in the area. They have Turkish coffee, mint tea service, and other types of drinks I had not heard of plus desserts and food items made locally and imported from Turkey. The decor is beautiful and plenty of seating, there is even parking available around back per the signage. read more

Great coffee shop right around all the new brusinesses on Apache Blvd. The shop is decorated beautifully and the server can answer all of your questions. I got the Sicilian Pistachio with oat milk- what an unbelievable drink! My friend tried the Organic Date. Both were amazing. They are also computer friendly w wifi and plug ins everywhere for phones and laptops. I highly recommend trying everything at Aden's. read more

It's tucked away in Tempe but it brings all the Yemen and Turkey coffee you could want! Turkish coffee and Yemeni coffee are staples for us so we had to try this based on a recommendation from a friend and it was outstanding! Amazing lattes, coffees, teas, refreshers and so much more. They also have delicious desserts and foods! The customer service was outstanding and everyone was kind and helpful. I also loved the inside; the decor was done so well and really reflects their culture and the pride they take in their coffee. Definitely will be back soon! read more

Aden is one of my favorite places to meet up with friends and family in Tempe! This Yemeni coffee house offers delicious and shareable drinks, cozy seating, and a variety of desserts. Plus, it fulfills the need for a great late night cafe (with plenty of outlets for anyone coming to work or study). The Yemeni Qahwah is my go-to -- sweetened and with cream, it's the best cardamom "latte" I've had in the area. I love getting it served in a kettle for two. When I'm not looking for coffee, the Adeni Shai is delightful with a bit of honey. The creaminess of their drinks never overpower the strength of the coffee, tea, or spices. The big surprise for me is how amazing the Mango Royale is! You can taste the real, quality mango blended in, and it uses the natural sweetness of dates to bring the drink together. Never expected to come for smoothies, but I'll be back for it next time the craving hits! This space truly has upleveled in many subtle ways since its recent rebrand. Parking can still be tricky on busy nights, but there's never a problem during the day. There are a few spots out back and street parking available along the road. read more

Beautiful little coffee shop tucked away next to the light rail. We stopped in after our dance class on a Sunday morning. I ordered a mango mojito and it was delicious. Little sweet but that's mostly because I don't drink regular soda and it is made with Sprite. It was super refreshing which was welcomed in this heat and after working out. Also ordered at the table was the dragon fruit refresher, an iced latte and a slice of their Italian Tuxedo which was so rich, creamy and delicious. I do wish they had a few more simple food options. The only choice, that was not sweet, was a Samosa. Overall super chill vibe, very nice guy behind the counter and lots of different drink options you will not find other places. read more

I loveeee this Yemeni coffee shop and it is my new favorite study spot. I came around opening time on a Thursday and it was very peaceful. Parking wasn't an issue at all. I love the aromatic smells inside. I redeemed my free drink today and got the strawberry matcha!! It wasn't on their menu, but I asked if they could make it and she said of course. Service was very fast and efficient. The barista brought my drink over to my table and it looked so pretty and tasted soo good!! I was able to study productively for 7 hours because the booth seats were so comfortable and there was an outlet. The music was also not blasting which I appreciate. I will definitely be frequenting here more :) read more

Nice relaxing atmosphere. Me and my wife love this place. The staff is always nice. Drinks are great and they match the authentic middle eastern taste. I like their music choice as well. Highly recommended if you are looking for a relaxing cup of tea after your dinner. My favorite is Aden's Shai. It is the milk tea and very flavorful. read more

Ambiance: Cute little cafe, nice ethnic music that's not too loud, very limited parking. Coffee: Ordered the signature Aden latte (iced) and wow was I surprised, but not in a good way. It was SOOO sweet, probably the sweetest latte I've ever tasted in my life. Unable to finish. Came here based on the very high (but limited) Yelp reviews. Left disappointed and would not come back or recommend. read more

Been here multiple times since I discovered it & I can't stop coming back. This place is such a gem and the drinks and food are so great! I love to come here & enjoy the culture and beauty it serves. Really worth enjoying and the service and dine in ambiance is luxurious read more

Good cappuccino. Excellent Yemeni Qahwah (Yemeni coffee) with cream and sugar. This was my first time trying Yemeni coffee and it was really very good. A strong coffee spiced with cardamom, it's great to sip on while relaxing on the shop's cozy seating. Good coffee, good service, and great interior design. read more

If you're looking for somewhere cozy to relax and study, Aden is definitely for you. It's super close to campus and is right next to the metro. This is my second time here, and like always, the owner was super friendly and gave great suggestions alongside a generous rewards program. The hospitality is great! Onto what I ordered-- a Yemeni Mint Shai. Absolutely delicious. The taste was smooth, velvety, and a sweet aftertaste with a dash of mint. Super relaxing. I will be going here more often- I studied there undisturbed for around two hours. Two considerations: there is no outdoor seating, if that's your thing, and the wifi didn't work for me. Not anything that turned me off from the experience however. A wonderful cafe. read more

I had the most amazing experience at this coffee shop! Not only was the tea I got absolutely amazing, but the owner brought us a sample of their Yemeni coffee and it was absolutely delightful. I also had the opportunity to chat with the owner about the history, culture and intention behind the decor and why him and his family started this place in the first place, and it truly almost brought me to tears. It felt like walking into a home where I was welcomed and experienced deep hospitality. Everything was absolutely beautiful inside! I am so thankful for the genuine kindness I experienced and for truly, the most incredible coffee and tea I've ever had. I will be coming back as often as I am able now. Thank you, Aden Coffee House! read more

Husband and I were looking for a coffee place with a cool atmosphere Saturday evening around 9:30. Really cool atmosphere. Exotic coffees. I felt like I was in a different country!! a lot of really great options on the menu. There was one girl working in the place was almost completely full. She didn't greet us or say hi or I'll be right with you. 10 minutes later, she took our order. A party of 11 walked in five minutes after us. It was a very large family. She ends up serving the family all of their drinks and food before making our two lattes. And my husband opens his coffee and it's only filled 3/4 of the way and at that point we were like okay wtf is going on. We ignored the lack of customer service.. almost ignored the fact that she made drinks and food for 11 people before us. But then the drink being a little over half full was the last straw. We asked the girl why she served the large party before us and she said they weee asking how long the wait was. I'm not sure what that means. Then we asked about the drink and she said it's normally put in a certain cup which she showed us. not sure why she didn't just put it in that cup.. instead we got to-go cups but we never said we wanted them to go.. we wanted to enjoy the place. I should've ignored the red flags but I didn't. Gave us a sour end to our night. We were the only white people in there so maybe that's why?? We couldn't come up who to any other reason.. I thought the diversity in there was great but I don't think it was reciprocated. I even tipped the girl extra cuz I felt bad for her and she just skips us... to feed 11 people!! Ugh so irritated. I understand she's young so I feel kind of bad but greeting customers is Customer Service 101 and serving people in order.. read more

Aden Coffee House - I feel like I was transported to a different country. It's beautiful! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The service was really friendly and insightful about the menu as I was asking what's in some of the drinks. My matcha came out good I believe I got their house matcha... with honey, cinnamon, and cardamom. I had to try their honeycomb bread because I've never tried! & it was delicious! Sweet treat. The place is super cool I'd actually would love to come to this place more often but the WiFi service is not the best and the bathroom toilet handle is different. It's a key handle which is different... read more

ADEN Tea & Coffee House is such a solid little spot. Authentic Adeni tea, strong coffee, cozy vibe, and genuinely friendly service.

Such a special spot! There is so much thought put into this coffee shop. The decor is truly so beautiful and I've yet to enter a coffee shop that feels as immersive; with the music, and attention to detail, it feels like an authentic Yemeni coffee shop. I love coming here to get work done, or catch up. It feels like a cozy and community oriented place, the owner is extremely kind and knowledgeable, and the flavors and quality of the drinks and desserts reflect that! I personally love the Adeni Chai, but I am also a fan of their Matchas and Coffees. Regardless of what your preference is, the drink won't disappoint you. If you're in Tempe, add Aden to your coffee rotation, if you're not, make the visit! Whether you're just grabbing drinks or staying for the ambience, it's worth a try! read more

One of my favorite stops for tea (I get the mango passion), to sit a bit and hang out using the WiFi. It's right next to the S line streetcar which makes it very convenient to get to. If you drive here the parking is right off to the right and still very convenient. The staff is always very nice. And when it gets busy is the only issue, so come during off hours, sit and hang out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Went in to study at night with a friend, I got the Arabian Nights tea and she got a iced coffee with some sort of date flavor. Both were so good!! After an hour of being there, the guy working brought over some hot adeni shai for us to try and that was incredible; and, he explained how they get their shai straight from Yemen and what the process is for making it. I ended up ordering a cup of that and it was so amazing. Definitely will be back since it was such a great place to study and drink some good tea and coffee. read more

this was the best latte I ever had I would love to come back to enjoy the signature latte again. it is a very small coffee shop with beautiful decor and diverse menu. the staff was great and it was giving neighborhood vibes. would be perfect to take on the go as well since it is smaller in size but really great coffee! read more
