The chicken wrap was flavorful, though the bread was a little hard.

My mom and I stopped in on a chilly afternoon, looking to warm up with something cozy. The café itself is small but inviting, with a few booths and tables for dining in. The woman behind the counter was such a sweetheart. She was genuinely friendly and welcoming. They were out of my mom's favorite dessert (the Yemeni honeycomb), but we went for two cups of mint tea instead ($2.99 each, regular size). Even the regular cups were huge, and I'm pretty sure one is enough to share between two people. The tea came with real mint leaves, which gave it that fresh, earthy flavor that hits perfectly with a touch of sugar. Just a tip: remove the leaves after a few minutes so the tea doesn't turn bitter.
