    Love the caramel frappe! Great service and the place is big. Plenty of comfort seating. Perfect spot to read or do some work.

    "To become the leading provider of authentic Yemeni specialty coffee in the United States, celebrating Yemen's rich coffee heritage while empowering local communities through sustainable business practices and enhancing global awareness of the unique qualities of Yemeni coffee" This is Bilqis Coffee's mission and that vision is crystal clear upon entering this fairly new spot in Bay Ridge. The aroma of Yemeni coffee and cardamom hit me as soon as I entered. This spacious gem also sells its coffees, teas as well as brewing instruments. I was in the mood for a coffee with cardamom and decided to order the Light Arabic Qahwah coffee. The barista who took my order was extremely courteous and asked me if this was my first time visiting shop. I replied yes and she offered me a free piece of baklava. I found a table as I waited for my coffee; there are ample seating and cushions for comfort. My Qahwah was ready and she served me a side of honey to place inside my coffee. You might ask what is the difference between Qahwah and regular coffee? Qahwah on its own does have an earthy and slightly bitter taste. However, when cloves, cinnamon and my favorite, cardamom, are added the flavor becomes a bit citrusy, floral and sweeter. The Qahwah was delicious and adding the honey complimented the cardamom nicely. Bilqis also serves assorted flavors of gelato, baklava, cheesecake, croissants and other sweets. Special shout out to the barista who served me, I did not get her name, but she is absolutely wonderful and accommodating! The cafe ambience is relaxing and there is complimentary water offered in the back. It's a great start to your day or end it after post work. Bilqis is located on 80th and Fiftb Avenue, take R train to 86th and Fourth Avenue, @8 minute walk.

    Wonderful escape in Bayridge to Yemen. Came in on a Saturday afternoon and most cozy couches were taken. Both coffee and tea were nice and strong, and I love that they have a cream/cardamom and ginger flavors. Im happy it wasn't sweet by default as the dessert complimented the hot drinks. Only thing I wish was the dessert was heated up to give it more crisp. Highly recommend a visit if you are looking for a place to catch up with someone or do work (they provide wifi password at the counter). Service is on the slower end which is why it should be a place to come if you are not in a hurry. IG@Jubes111

    First time here this new coffee shop is a great addition to the neighborhood, I tried 2 of their sweets, a sweet milk coffee, seemed to have been a medium roast. I have to say everything from the service to the quality was great i will definitely be back.

    Baklava was $3 EACH!! Both spongey,no flavor! The other; caramel cake tasted like burnt caramel. The yemen coffee was horrible.

    Despite it being brightly lit & opened late which is always a plus in an area that is full of places that close too early, even on weekends..this place was disappointing! It's way overpriced for sh*tty coffee and below mediocre desserts! People linger there taking up seats long after they finish their coffee & desserts, having loud conversations with each other. This place has the audacity to charge $3 for EACH Small SQUARE of Baklava; which were spongey not crispy & lacking that traditional baklava flavor. The caramel swirl type of cakes tasted like burnt caramel! The Yemen coffee which we were told was strong & popular, was HORRIBLE! And what "strong"?? Again OVERPRICED & DISAPPOINTING, not returning. This place gets crowded with neighborhood regulars who you can tell grew up on this stuff so it seems they're used to this crap.

    Tried this place at random today instead of going to another yemeni spot I'm a regular at and i was pleasantly surprised ! Loved my latte it was perfect and the pastry was so delicious the decor and seating is so comfortable and the man at the register was courteous and friendly! Will become a regular

    My sister's partner introduced me to this spot, and I'm so glad they did! I ordered an iced caramel…read morelatte with coconut milk, my sister got a chai, and her partner had a black cold brew--everything was delicious. As a coffee lover, I can say this latte definitely did not disappoint! The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was really inviting. It's a small coffee shop with some outdoor seating, which adds to its charm. Inside, they offer pastries from bakeries like Balthazar, and they even have a cool cold brew machine. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town, and since my sister and her partner are locals, I know they'll keep coming here too!

    I think I found the best coffee in Bay Ridge!…read more You have to understand my morning. I live in Stony Brook so when the stars are aligned and there is no traffic on the Belt I can order a great cuppa coffee before work. I park across the street and was the first one in the small establishment. I see two gents hustling behind the counter and zero in on the baked goods. I'm not understanding the spiced lattes but after a few times, I'll try the Cardamom latte but for now I'm sticking with a Flat White and a freshly baked croissant. The flat white I ordered? Perfecto. If a good cup of coffee costs the same as a chain coffee slop they serve to the masses, I'll take a well crafted coffee from Clockface Coffee to start my day. Hopefully, if the traffic is light on the Belt Parkway, I can stop by in the morning. I grew up in Canarsie but all the great local places I keep finding by the job, Bay Ridge rocks!

I ordered avocado toast with eggs and a pastry. The only real positive was the bread itself, which was fresh, large, and actually tasted good. Unfortunately, that is where the positives ended. Although the avocado seemed less generic than standard store-bought guacamole, the taste was not good. The eggs were terrible -- they looked very unappetizing, tasted awful, and appeared nothing like the photo shown on Grubhub. The same photo also showed a small side salad, but no salad was included. I requested chili oil, and that was missing as well. The added cheese had virtually no flavor, so overall the dish felt careless, incomplete, and extremely unsatisfactory. I also checked the box requesting utensils, but no utensils or napkins were included. However, to be clear, this review is not about forgotten utensils. It is about the overall lack of quality, attention to detail, and customer care. The pastry was another culinary failure. It was sold under the French name -"Pan Au Raisin" but it was nothing like what real "Pain Aux Raisins " supposed to be, it was bland, greasy, oily and missing the traditional custard base plus it was delivered in an undersized paper envelope that left the food exposed, a clear violation of basic sanitary standards for food transport. Most importantly, this order caused me stomach pain and GI upset. This was the only food I had eaten in a 24-hour period, and more than 24 hours later I still felt unwell. The owner's reply to my original review was patronizing, dismissive, and refused to take any real accountability. Instead of addressing the food quality issues, the missing items, the poor packaging, and the physical reaction I had to the order, the response tried to reduce the entire problem to utensils and push the conversation into private email. I am keeping this public so other customers can make an informed decision. I wanted to support a new local business, but the bad taste, poor execution, misleading presentation, lack of care, and dismissive management made that impossible. Based on this experience, I would not order again and would not recommend this place to friends or family.
