Truly a hidden gem. Nestled in a strip mall next to Harbor Freight, this wonderful cafe has an unassuming store front. But, stepping inside transcends you to a new place with a luxurious feel. The dim lighting and open floor plan instantly relaxes you. The coffee flavor is uniquely, but pleasantly, robust. The employees were friendly and helpful. Just one thing to point out, if you're using a credit card, there is a $0.29 surcharge added to your order total.

Cute, cozy, and comfortable!

I chose this place to work with my team today. It's so cute inside and everything I had was fantastic. I had an iced pistachio latte with oatmilk (best latte I've had in a while)!! I also had a chicken and cheese manakeesh. I took home a Biscoff tiramisu cup and cinnamon bites, which my kids loved and helped me polish off! Will definitely be going back here!

This local coffee shop is on Summer Avenue. I saw it a couple months ago and wanted to visit and check it out. My friend and I decided to go and have Bible study there yesterday. The place is decorated very nicely with lights, tables, chairs, and sofas. It's very clean and, modern looking. It was very quiet when we were there and others came to buy coffee and desserts. There are games for kids to play with on a shelf. They serve an Arabic breakfast, many types of coffee, desserts, date concoctions which is made in house. There were smoothies and lattes. Another couple ordered tea and the teapot was so pretty and elegant. My coffee had spices in it that made it taste differently but in a good way. Our cake we split was very good and not that sweet. It was perfect! Shout out to our server, Mohammad, because he was so friendly and help us with the menu and which coffees to order. This place is great for working, studying or just relaxing. They serve a very authentic Ethiopian coffee! Please come and support them. They need more people to come check them out. You won't be disappointed!

Iced shaken espresso and Turkish coffee
Alex A.

Aldar Cafe is a gem. It seems to be new in Memphis, and I'm here for it. The decoration, the music, the tidiness, and spacious floor is a home run. Most importantly, the coffee is outstanding. I enjoyed their Turkish Coffee! Actually, I was super hyped to see this on the menu and it didn't disappoint. Served hot and with some vigor--absolutely amazing. The iced shaken espresso was also superbly delicious with a hint of cinnamon. They have pastries as well such as cheese danishes which paired well with the coffee. Another detail worth mentioning is the 10/10 service. Loved it all, and I will be back!

Whether you are a coffee aficionado or a coffee newbie, this is a must-try! They opened recently and are currently hosting coffee tastings every Saturday and Sunday, at 11 AM and 3 PM. At the tasting, you get to try 5 versions of their coffee, as well as some pastries. The owner also educates you about Yemeni coffee. I highly recommend booking this experience first if you are curious about their products. If you're ready to buy a drink, they make an amazing mocha latte! I also recommend the "bee bites" as a snack. The inside of the cafe is cozy, beautiful and clean. All of the staff were friendly and highly knowledgable as well. Please go support this new business!

Cascara Coffee, Bee Bites and a Baklava Slice.
Allison S.

The service was excellent. We loved the atmosphere and the Cascara Coffee was great. My daughter does not like coffee but she really loved this. We had Bee bites and a Baklava slice. We are definitely going again.

Cheese danish, pistachio baklava, mocha latte
Thanh N.

Coffee is great and ambiance is excellent. Could be great to work or study with your laptop. Pastries are not the best I've had but pretty decent to try. I like the pistachio baklava.

All-Day Arabic Breakfast Meal

Highly recommend the Arabic breakfast! Great place to study, work, and snack. Perfect for a student on a budget

Yemeni latte, Mango Avocado smoothie, Lotus Cheesecake
Slim J.

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this cafe. There was a lot of seating to choose from, very comfortable chairs. I chose the lotus cheesecake, similar to a biscoff cookie flavor. I regret not getting another slice...lol My husband had the avocado mango smoothie, mangos needed to be more ripe for the sweeter taste. The Yemeni latte was flavorful, I appreciate the evaporated milk option they use. I'll be back to play chess and read a book.

A really friendly place where you can try new things than the same old coffee shop. our helper explained their menu and helped us make great selections. The manakeesh is delicious as is the honey bread (called bee bites, maybe). But the coffee is the star. the Yemeni latte is outstanding. great atmosphere and service.

Almond danish, pistachio pastry

See all

The coffee and pastries were good, and the space is inviting. We enjoyed the Yemeni Latte, a hot chocolate (for my son), and baklava.

The service was a bit of an issue with how to work the monitor and a coupon code. The one employee I asked didn't know how to help. After a while the young man on the register came over to help and explained everything. (Thanks!) It was a cool little spot. The music was good and so was the food. They are individual pizzas so we were all able to get what we wanted. I couldn't finish mine. The crust is good and so was the garlic butter they gave me for dipping. We are adding this to our Memphis list. My husband who doesn't eat pork loved the beef pepperoni and chicken sausage on his pizza. It was a great touch.

I dig these folk pizzas! They are unique in the "BYO pizza" game. I just made my way here for a…read moredine in visit for the first time and I did not realize it was a walk the line, build your own kind of place. I was sort of confused on what to do when I walked in. I may be aging more than I want to let on. I was lost for at least 2 mins. Hell, I even went in the wrong entrance at first. Old ass... The crust is different than most pizza places, and reminds me a little bit of Memphis Pizza Cafe's crust but a bit better. The biggest difference is the shape. I don't know why it's oval. I am curious now though. I walked the line and built my own. I got regular marinara with some pesto drizzle on top. She sauced it perfectly! I added italian sausage and pepperoni to it. Regular cheese for me! You can choose a drizzle flavor at the end. I got garden garlic butter. It's ok, but I'll try something else next time. You pay then they call your name to come get it at the counter. Me and another old man both wondered around a bit trying to figure out our next moves after paying. LOL. Old asses... It's loud and pretty hectic inside with all of the kitchen action happening inside out in the open. So if you are bothered by that, I'd stay away. It's communal seating for the most part so pull up and get ready to sit with strangers. Pizza tasted great and was way more than I could eat in one setting. I'll be back pretty regularly now that I have figured it out. Tehehe. They have a $10 special on Tuesdays. I am a sucker for any kind of food deal. I eat out 15-20 a week, so any relief is welcome. Solid concept. You should try it if you haven't, and are younger than 48 yrs old! Good move downtown! '25 - 103/111

If I can't walk to the place I'm probably not going So when I saw this new lounge and the concept is gourmet hot wings I was immediately intrigued! Y'all know how I feel about my wings. Babyy imma let y'all know that @wingmanrestaurant is about to change the game. 1. They open till 4am on weekends 2. The vibes are immaculate 3. They don't just serve regular hot wings. They are East and West African inspired gourmet hot wings. 4. You don't have to ask them to be fried hard cause they already come out that way 5. And they have hookah which is a 10/10 The owner John hospitality was literally a 10/10.

She was extremely pleasant and welcoming. The portions are massive and the flavor intense. Jacob got the salad which had way more on it than explained. He loved it. I got the truffle sandwich and it was absolutely the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It had two giant fried tenders on it which were juicy and crispy with their amazing wingman sauce. It also had a truffle aioli that was subtle but definitely delicious. The fries are season and crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside. We got the wingman platter. For the love of God this was incredible. The wings were juicy as well as nicely crispy. The flavors, now here's where they hit. There was a honey mustard, wingman, lemon pepper and a type of jerk curry. Well let's say this, I NEVER dipped. Not once. The seasoning on every one of these was magnificent. The curry was my favorite. It had a unique flavor with a kick. Best wings Ever!!! The place earns its name. We also had the rolls which were spicy and flavorful. Wouldn't pass on those either. This place deserves more than 5 stars. If you're looking for fried chicken or wings DON'T MISS this place. I am ruined now, because I will forever want this food every time I want fried chicken. Damn that chicken sandwich...damn you!!! lol
