I came on a rainy Monday morning before work and was warmly greeted when I came in by the barista. I ordered a latte to stay and he brought it to the table I was waiting at and came back with a few napkins as well. Lovely presentation, though I'm not a huge fan of the type of almond milk they use. I didn't realize the latte would be so huge so I asked for a cup to pour it into and he kindly gave me one.
I really enjoyed the honeycomb with honey drizzles!!! Absolutely amazing!!! The male barista is super sweet and helpful! The female lady like mentioned in other Google reviews is just racist and rude. When I asked her what one of the bars were, she just made up "chocolate something," already annoyed at me. And then the male staff said it had something with dates in it. The female staff told the male to ring it up like I already wanted it... in which I said no thank you. And she rolled her eyes. I then ordered a matcha latte... in which she put in macchiato... then the male staff was like she said matcha... and then again she acted as if she didn't make any mistake...... This woman just made a 5 star cafe experience a 3 star.
I was eyeing their honeycomb for a hot second now. I was in the area so got the honeycomb to go. The honeycomb comes in two sizes: the large was around $9 something and the small was $5 something. The big one is the better value and honestly, I had no issues finishing it all myself. The lady assisting me was very nice and friendly, I felt very welcomed! Too bad I was in a rush, otherwise I would've loved to get a drink and dined in the cafe. The cafe was very cozy and I noticed they had a sign up for 3 hour maximum seating and a drink purchase is required. The honeycomb was already prepared and wrapped in plastic wrap. She packed it up for me to go. I'm not sure if I had dined in, she would've warmed them up for me but that would be really nice. They tasted great on their own - a little lukewarm but even better when I went home and heated it up in the oven. The honey that it came with was so delicious. The filling is cream cheese but I saw they also had one filled with Nutella. I might come again to try their Nutella flavor. Overall: cozy cafe with a delicious honeycomb pastry
My friend and I got to Bay Ridge a bit early for a nearby dinner outing. I saw Asal Yemen on Yelp and knew it would be a good way to start the night. The cafe is clean, bright, modern and nicely decorated. There were comfortable seats available. The woman working the counter was friendly and professional and highly recommended their Adeni tea. The Adeni tea is a popular drink in Yemen and I can see why. It featured cardamom and cinnamon in addition to other spices and had richness and smoothness from condensed milk. Asal Yemen was a very relaxing place to have a delicious hot cup of tea.
I loved this place at first but for some reason they do not make anything not super sweat. I enjoy the vibes and the inside designs from the beautiful culture of Yemen but customer service can be improved. Very unique spot in Brooklyn.
We dropped by Asal for breakfast earlier this fall, hoping to try their honeycomb bread. Unfortunately, they hadn't made them yet by the time we were there (around 9:15), and it was going to take 20-30 minutes to bake, so we had to settle for something else. The bagel sandwich with cream cheese, tomato, and lox was fine, but we were hoping to try something different from what you could find at any bagel shop. I got a hibiscus juice on the side (can't drink coffee), which was refreshing, and it was nice sitting and enjoying breakfast in the shop, since I loved the decor. I really appreciated how much effort they put into making their space welcoming and beautiful, not just indoors, but even their outdoor dining area. Hopefully next time we'll be able to try that honeycomb bread!
I heard their honeycomb bread is amazing so I went especially for it. It was the only item I purchased. It's a little under $9 and it's worth it! It's a pull apart bread and inside each bite size piece is cream cheese. Also, it's topped with seasame and poppy seeds. It comes with quality honey that I dipped each piece into. The outside was golden and crunchy from the toppings. The inside was flaky (you see the layers when you pull) and fluffy.
Four words: honey in your coffee. This place is very unique, it is one part coffee shop, one part cultural exhibit, one part lounge. The decor and seating is stylish and calming, and if it wasn't for covid I would spend several hours here writing poetry. Or something artsy. The coffee is nice; a lighter roast that is somewhat hidden with milk and honey. Would like to try their espresso and other drinks before I make a final call. The desserts (mostly flaky phyllo dough pastries and rich cakes) looked amazing too, worth coming for another visit. The Yemeni cakes weren't ready when I visited at 10 am, so hopefully they speed prep up a bit. All in all, this part of bay ridge needed a boost in their coffee shops and this could fit the Bill. Hope it sticks around!
Such a cute cafe tucked away in bayridge between restaurants and shops. It has a great seating area to study or read while you enjoy your coffee.
Came here with my husband for brunch. The place is very clean and gives a sense of home. We ordered up front and they brought the food out to our table.The food is delicious and the coffee is one of the best I had.
A fairly new coffee and tea spot on 5th Ave. We bought a pound of beans as well as the honey. They have one of a kind lattes and such. A cup goes for 5-7$ But for me, this is a one and done type of place. I don't find the coffee beans ($45) to be extremely different from the "specialty coffee beans" (15$) that I can get at the grocery store. So at 45$ a pound for these Yemen coffee beans, I don't think I'd do it again. They sell honey which they say is also from Yemen at $80 for the small bottle. We bought 2 to try it out. I do like the honey as it does have a clean and pure taste but at 80$ I just can't afford to make this a habit.
Got iced Cardamom coffee, it was soo good. Best iced coffee I had. It was a bit on pricey side, thats why I gave it 4 stars. But definitely worth the price. Would recommend getting coffee with honey. If you don't like it too sweet, then let them know to lessen the honey. Everything is authentic, and honey is straight from Yemen. Def try this place out.

Cute spot in the mid-70s on 5th. I'm a huge fan of honeycomb designs so this really appealed to me. Overall the interior has a decent amount of seating and tons of plants by the front window so it's pretty cozy. When I first walked in the TV display menus were in screensaver mode so I couldn't actually see the menu. I ended up looking at a paper copy by the register. Got myself an iced cardamom oat milk latte which has the right blend of creamy latte and cardamom spice to it. Normally I'm a fan of hot drinks and also just straight, black coffee, but it's hot outside, and I wanted to try one of their regional specialties. Wasn't able to try any of the food as the one thing I wanted (honeycomb bread) had an allergen that I avoid, but maybe one day I'll go back for it if I have more time to mitigate that risk afterward. read more

I discovered it by chance and fell in love with the place. The coffee is exceptional. Comes from Yemen. Flavorful, has body and is strong but light and not acid or over roasted. Just perfect. The service is outstanding and very friendky. It is not a big place but it has tables and also a sofa set up. Tables on the street too. The croissants are incredible. I had the chocolate one. Actually one and a half. It is a great place to relax with a good cup of coffee or to get some work done on your laptop. You can buy coffee beans too. read more

Made a rainy day trip here in the midst of a hurricane because I've been dying to try it. The shop aesthetics and the tantalizing call of trying Yemeni-sourced coffee overcame the discomfort of making the twenty minute trek and getting soaked. First off, the interior decor here ensures you will enjoy your coffee and pastries in a state of sheer bliss. I love the hanging plants and the honeycomb shelves. The menu has so many different coffee and espresso drinks. I was choosing between the cardamon latte and their coffee but decided on the Qishr coffee instead. It is a coffee drink made from coffee husks, cinnamon, and ginger. My boyfriend ordered the Yemeni coffee. We both watched in awe as they made both cups of coffee fresh in a metal steamer over a stovetop. They took over 5 minutes to make and involved a process of stirring and straining. The quality of the coffee certainly shone through. The Qishr has a very mild, light flavor, more similar to a milk tea than a coffee, with a strong kick of spice in it. I enjoyed mine with evaporated milk and honey. The Yemeni coffee was very strong and in comparison. It really needs to be mixed with milk and honey, or else the ginger is so overpowering, it's almost bitter. We both loved our coffees and drank them between bites of the Honeycomb, a cheese filled bread enjoyed drizzled with honey. The cheese was similar to a cream cheese and the bread very pillowy. It definitely felt more like a meal than a snack or dessert. Asal Yemen will definitely be a neighborhood favorite of mine! read more
I stopped in to grab a Yemen coffee (which comes with evaporated milk and honey ) . It was quite good and very different as there are quite a few spices . They roast their own coffee and bottle own honey. I have not tried the pastries or honey yet but do look forward in the future as this is a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

I was craving for some honeycomb bread. Drove from staten island to Brooklyn to get some. The ambiance was beautiful and quiet. Lots of people sitting on their laptops, clacking away at the keyboard. The guy behind the counter was polite and efficient. We got a mini honeycomb bread and it was gone even before we started to drive off. It came out to a little under $6. read more

Cutest little shop. Aesthetics are beautiful, warm, and inviting. The Asal latte was delicious, the qeshr was piping hot and just like home. They offer a wide variety of tea, coffee, pastries, and of course the most authentic Yemeni honey. Do not miss this place whe you are here. Asal latte is filled with honey, ginger, and cardamom. Best way to warm up on a cold and windy day. Bring all your friends, your fam, and share the love. read more

Best local lattes in bay ridge! And so reasonably priced compared to others and space is so cute and clean. It's my fav oat latte - best balance of milk and caffeine! Their coffee also has a unique note which I love. I would recommend over all the chains and other local shops in the area. Skip the Starbucks and come here read more

Our friends live in the neighborhood and rave about the coffee. We don't, but made the 40 minute trip there. It was worth it. The Yemeni coffee is amazing. If you love cardamom, it's the best thing ever. Love the date cookies as well. It's also really beautifully decorated with plants and ceramics. read more
