Love the store hours! Recommend trying the saffron latte hot or cold. Perfect amount of spice and is something I can't find elsewhere.

This is my first time here and the deserts and drinks are really good. Their service was really enjoyable . Sabrine was very sweet and friendly and always had a smile on her face. I'm definitely going to come back with my sister or friends to study with. The place is also really beautiful and clean. read more

I looove Milyar. From the service (great), to the delicious coffee and pastries, to the comfortable and spacious chairs/outlets, Milyar is an excellent place to meet up with friends or have a chill working session. And of course -- the hours of operation are *unbeatable.* read more

I think I came on an off day because it was a busy weekday and the line kept getting longer. The cashier seemed pretty overwhelmed trying to keep up, which made the experience feel a bit hectic. I ordered their banana matcha since it's one of their more popular drinks, but unfortunately it was a miss for me. It did not taste like matcha at all, and it had a zing to it. I also tried their beef shawarma, and that was pretty disappointing as well. The meat was extremely chewy on the inside, to the point where it was inedible. It was also warm on the outside and then cold on the inside. The only thing I enjoyed that I got was the biscoff cheesecake. I hope they can improve once they get more settled in. read more

Atmosphere is typical of a Yemeni café. Cozy vibe with people working on laptops, though it can feel a bit crowded. 4/5 For drinks, we asked for them extra hot, but they still came out cold. The taste was good, though. 3/5 Service was okay overall, but when we mentioned the temperature, the barista became a bit defensive and said they weren't aware of the extra hot request. I understand there can be internal miscommunication, but bringing that up and arguing with the customer didn't feel necessary. 3/5 Overall: 3/5 read more

This is a lovely coffee shop for studying or hanging out. The interior design/decor is beautiful, there's a gold and granite theme and plenty of lighting. Lots of seating and there are a few outlets. They also have shelves of books and board games. I had a good study session here. The baristas were really nice and helpful in suggesting less caffeinated drinks since their decaf machine was broken, and I ended up getting an adeni chai that I enjoyed. The chai comes unsweetened but they can add sweetener. I saw people waiting a bit for their drinks so this probably isn't the best spot if you're in a rush; they had decent foot traffic on a weekend afternoon and the drinks seem to take some time to make. They have a nice selection of savory pastries such as fatayer in different varieties (spinach, potato, cheese, zaatar, egg, chicken), samosas (beef, chicken, potato), and beef shawarma rolls. And of course there's plenty of sweet pastries. It would have been nice if their decaf machine was working; I saw other reviews that reported the same issue months ago. read more

A reliable choice for a 9 PM matcha run, even when you shouldn't be doing it. Came to try the banana matcha latte with oat milk and it was pretty good. I was worried because I forgot to say less sweet, but it wasn't too crazy. I tried the refreshers and those were pretty sweet. The barista was pleasant and I love the decor inside. It was pretty lively for a Sunday night. They have lots of treats and snacks! No outside patio. read more

Update : Fortunately, they started to prepare coffee in the traditional Yemeni coffee pot. One of the servers showed me a beautiful coffee pot behind counter. A definite treat. Usually served in little coffee cups while super hot. Yes, there should be coffee grounds at the bottom. Reading Fortune: If you turn it upside down wait awhile and then turn it right side up. Reading your fortune in the way the coffee grounds cling to the cup is a thing. The Arabian Qahwah (coffee) I had was good. Made with ginger and other spices. My favorite is half sweet Yemeni coffee made the traditional way. read more

Milyar Coffee - Inside seating - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Santa Clara, California

My friend and I came to visit this cafe on a weekday. It was nice and spacious. There was even free board games for customers! Taste: - This was okay. Nothing really stood out. Parking: - Street parking.. This was a bit stressful Ambiance: - It has life to it. It's a little loud for studying but great for catching up with a friend Price: - I couldn't find the price of the pastries so I just asked the cashier. It was on the pricer side. The chocolate dessert in the top left of my photo is $15 read more

I was so excited to try the pistachio latte but was disappointed because the latte didn't taste like pistachio at all! It just tasted like a regular latte. I also got the chicken shawarma that was yummy but wasn't fully toasted. The inside was still cold. Was $18+ for both items which felt pretty overpriced for a regular tasting latte and a snack. read more

A variety of delicious drinks and food! I visited on a Sunday evening, hoping to get some work done. Immediately, I could tell this cafe was not the place for a quiet work session. There is plenty of seating, but every single table was full. The atmosphere was boisterous, with so many tiny kids running around. This seems to be a very family-friendly spot, as I noticed lots of families enjoying delicious drinks here. If you're looking for a nice study cafe, this is not the place. The interior is decorated lavishly, and I did eventually snag a table. I tried the milyar chai, which was perfectly spiced and piping hot. The price was very reasonable considering the quantity of chai I received. There was quite a long wait since the line was so long. It probably took me fifteen minutes to order and another fifteen minutes to get my drink. The store amazingly only got busier into the night, and they stay open really late. There were several other drinks on the menu that sounded really delicious! I hope to return to try more drinks and some of their delectable desserts. However, I definitely won't be coming here with the intention of working next time haha. read more

My fiance and I tried this place on a Saturday around 10. It was pretty quiet for a weekend morning. The interior is spacious, clean, and modern. I noticed they have some games in the corner. This would definitely be a nice place to have a sit down coffee. We ordered the yemeni latte, pistachio latte, beef (fatayer? The label just said beef, lol) and a chicken sambusa. It took 5-10 minutes for our food to be ready. We didn't mind since it looked like they put a lot of love into our coffees haha. My yemeni latte had a nice cardamom and spiced flavor and it was subtly sweet. I wouldn't recommend this for someone who wants a sweet coffee, but for me, it was perfect. My fiancés pistachio latte was sweet and creamy. I don't see pistachio lattes often, so this was a nice treat. The food was also really good. There was only ground beef in my fatayer (I wasn't sure what to expect), but the dough and beef had really good flavor. I also liked how soft and doughy it was. As for the chicken sambusa, it was crispy with well seasoned shredded chicken. I'll definitely be coming back here! read more

Banana Cream Matcha drink did not meet my expectations. The matcha flavor lacked the natural sweetness and umami. It tasted coarse and lacked the smooth texture. Service was fine and quick. I would order something else from here. Place is clean. Inside, there are a lot of chairs, tables and a section of books. read more

Milyar Coffee - Banana Cream Matcha - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Pretty solid drinks & stunning + spacious interior. Tried the banana matcha and a pistachio latte. I really loved the banana top! Real chunks of bananas and the perfect consistency. The matcha was creamy and light, not too strong. The pistachio latte was also pretty light on the coffee but the pistachio flavor was really yummy! Hard to mix though. Pricy drinks around $8 ish for the matcha. Great place to study and/or chill at night. Drinks came out fast as workers seem efficient. Will be back! read more

Milyar Coffee - Pistachio Latte & Banana Matcha - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Milyar Cafe is a new cafe that opened 4-5 months ago. Street parking mostly. The interior is spacious and roomy. House music playing throughout the cafe. Good to sit and relax with friends. The service was welcoming, nice and friendly. She was sweet. Unfortunately, they were out of the Iced Adeni Chai: Yemeni black tea with Yemeni spices and cream. So, I asked what they recommended so I got the Iced Pistachio Latte. Which was flavorful and had that nice caffeine kick. Rose Milk Cake - flavorful and delicious. Support your local business. read more

This is very spacious and newly opened coffee place with high ceilings and comfy chairs. The prices are average, staff is friendly. They have really good coffee machine. The coffee was a little too sweet for my taste, I tried pistachio latte. I also ordered some pastry with the spinach and cheese, but it was a bit dry and not tasty. Baklava, on the other hand, was really good and I loved the honey aftertaste. There is a lot of street parking spaces around the building. There are gender neutral restrooms inside. read more

Stopped by after a appointment to grab a coffee. Found a spot right in front on the street. Not sure if there's parking in the rear. Walked in to a very large cafe. There was a few people working on their laptops. I only saw one lady working, it took a second before she turned around to help us. We ordered. Said it would take a minute. Fine I understand she was short staffed. The drinks were fine, I got a iced bischoff latte. read more

Milyar Coffee - Snacks I didn't order - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Santa Clara, California

We visited on a Saturday afternoon and found plenty of parking across the street. The strawberry matcha was good, at first it tasted strongly of matcha and once you mix it well get I tasted the sweet strawberry puree. I ordered the Dubai cheesecake and it was very soft in texture and crumbly, it was good but I wish I tasted more of the chocolate and I did taste the pistachio. My fiancé's chocolate croissant was really good and filled with chocolate in the inside. The Mango Arabia refresher was a yummy mango smoothie which I liked. Everything was really sweet so perfect for sweet cravings. The staff was friendly and the ambiance was lively. read more

This is a lovely well lit spacious cafe. They have traditional snacks as well as regular bakery items. We had the regular coffee( it was pretty early in the morning to be experimental). We also had the almond croissant and the spinach fatayer. Service takes time. But it seems a nice place to hangout though I will say that getting a coffee and a bite to eat anywhere costs as much as a meal these days. read more

Drinks are overly sweet. We ordered a few savory dishes and the inside was still cold after they gave it to us. The girl who took our order was clearly sick and coughing in her hands, went on to handle our food. Gross experience overall. read more

Huge fan of this place already! Walked in for the first time and was really impressed by the interior of the café. It's bright and opening and the marble and gold accents were really pretty and made you feel like you were in a spacious place. I ordered one of their specialty drinks, Iced Adeni Chai" sweetened with honey and it was delicious! It was aromatic, light, and refreshing! I was also very tempted to order their "Cloud 9 Matcha" but I'll grab that next time! Definitely wanted my first taste to be what they're known for! If you order some of their pastries and treats and sit in, please return the dishes to the counter if you can, I saw lots of customers do this and I think this is the norm here (and it's respectful soo doesn't hurt to practice that either!) With that said, I think this place is fairly new so drinks might take a while to receive in hand as their baristas are working in orders. So I would say this is a nice sit down place to study or catch up with friends. If you're in a rush, I would suggest letting them know ahead of time at the counter as I saw lots of people waiting by the pick up counter for their drinks. But overall, would absolutely come back here as my study spot where I have more time in the day. read more

Honestly the baklava is amazing. Never tried other items but would love to! I think the biggest critique I have, is that I have to call before I drive over since they usually sell out of the baklava. To be honest they are terrible at answering the phone!!! The people who used to work there were very efficant on answering and I think the overall experiance was 10/10. Now that there's new employees I'd rate it a 5/10. It saddens me that I have to make this. :/ read more

The cashier was friendly and went through each coffee option with me as there wasn't a line and I just didn't know what to get. I got the rose latte. And got the honeycomb bread I think it is called. My friend got the saffron milk cake so good. Nothing was over sweet. Good place to study or just chat with friends. read more

This cafe is just awesome . It gives the feeling as if you are somewhere in Middle East . The interior of the cafe looks extremely posh ! We reached there at 11 pm as we were craving for some desserts and this place didn't disappoint at all . One good thing is it is open till midnight which makes it easier for people like us who get these late night cravings. There are plenty of street parking and the area looked very safe . We were a bunch of friends and we stayed there till pretty late and were also standing and taking outside the cafe till 12:30 am but we felt very safe . We were 4 people but we decided to get 3 cakes as the cake pieces looked big and we were there just to satisfy our craving and were not hungry . Taste of everything we tried was amazing. We took a rose milk cake , pistachio milk cake and dubai chocolate milk cake . I would give 100/10 if I can for the taste, ambience , service . Everything was top notch . Will visit again soon and I highly recommend this place . read more

Came to this place today for the first time! I'm so glad more Yemeni places are showing up in the bay and it's open until midnight.

Stopped by Milyar Cafe in Santa Clara on a Saturday morning around 9:30am and ordered fresh chai lattes. The wait was about 17 minutes, which felt reasonable considering there were only two workers on shift and both were clearly hustling. The barista was moving quickly and still took the time to answer my questions, which I appreciated. The Milyar's was freshly made, comforting and perfectly sweetened. The Aden's chai was also well made with a tea and milk forward flavor that was less sweet than the Milyar's Chai. That said, it would have been helpful if the barista had given a quick heads-up that freshly made chai takes a bit longer, just so guests can anticipate the wait and have a better sense of timing. The space could also benefit from having some music on...it felt a bit quiet and flat. Will also return for the strawberry and chocolate filled croissants! Overall, solid service from a hardworking team. With a little more communication and some ambiance, this place could feel much warmer and more inviting. read more

After a long day we decided to stop for some coffee before driving more then 2 hours back home. My sister loves Yemeni coffee so this place was perfect . Walking in it was spacious and beautiful inside. They had beautiful lights on the ceilings, very comfy chairs. Everything was decorated pretty elegant with gold tints of color pop up here and there . The walls also had beautiful art work . They have calm music playing in the background. They have board games for the families to play . My kiddos and I played uno well waiting for our drinks . My sister got the Mufawaar drink it was my favorite she let me try and it was so delicious. I had the Yemeni Latte it was good with lots of spices. My kiddos got dragon, fruit, lemonade, and the hot chocolate. They loved their drinks. They said they were delicious. My son I got the hot chocolate he said it's the best chocolate he has ever tried. They had so many milk cakes for purchase and so many different flavors of them. I ended up getting the rose milk cake. It was so good since I'm Mexican, it taste just like a 3 leches cake for me. I have to say I really enjoy the milk cakes and I like that I could go back and try different flavors next time. There was a young man that took our orders on the counter, and he was very polite and attentive . After we ordered, they gave us these buzzers that alerted us when our orders were ready. I really like that idea because there's no yelling your name out loud. It was a very relaxing place . On top of that our buzzers didn't even go off. The young man was so kind to bring us our stuff directly to our table. I'm assuming they might do that when they're not that busy. Overall, we had a great time. The coffee was really delicious. I would definitely go back. read more

I went there on a Monday morning around 11am and it was empty. But the ambience is really good. Has rich Arabic feel. Tried the milyar chai, it already had sugar. Should have asked before. Usually I drink without sugar, so it was pretty sweet for my taste. But felt like Indian tea itself and I enjoyed it. Quality was a lot. Took a to go cup later to carry some back home. read more

I ordered a cortado, but unfortunately, it wasn't made well. The milk wasn't steamed properly, and it seemed like there was more milk than there should've been. The coffee tasted burnt, which really threw off the balance of the drink. The barista mentioned they use beans from Yemen, which was interesting, but the quality didn't come through in the cup. They do have a wide selection of specialty drinks, which could be worth exploring. However, my experience wasn't great especially since my cup started leaking from the bottom about an hour in. read more

Nice interior with sufficient seating and wifi. Bathroom available for customers. Service was friendly. The mufawaar was very watery and I couldn't really taste the coffee part. Wouldn't recommend it. The nutella cheesecake was pretty rich and tasty, but the crust was burnt at places. It was too sweet of a pairing because the coffee was weak. I would return to give their other signature drinks a try, but feel meh about it. read more

Odd first experience here. We were excited to try this place, since our daughter goes to SCU so we drive by all the time. Verified online they were open, however, when we pulled up the lights were off. Anna-frame advertisement was on the sidewalk and the door was unlocked. We waited for a bit but no one came out. Maybe they forgot to lock up the place last night? Decor is nice though so that's my 3 stars. We ended up at Whatcoffee. As we walked back, another couple outside looked puzzled and they ended up walking to where we just came from. I guess we'll try again, when staff is in. LOL read more

Finally a yemeni tea place closer to home! Everything hit the spot and they are definitely cheaper than Bae Tea and Qamaria. The quality of spices in the tea was also very good. We got the adeni chai and i think next time we will try the basic yemeni tea as that has just cardamom. The honey cake was moist and airy and fresh! And my daughter really enjoyed the rainbow cake too. Im looking forward to returning and trying their zaatar bread as well. The service was great and they made sure to ask for sweetness level in the chai - which we appreciated. The interior is beautiful and spacious. I did not try their coffee drinks as I would probably go somewhere else for those - this is the place for traditional yemeni and arabic teas! There is parking along the street but it may get crowded if this place gets more popular. read more

A coffee shop open until 12am? What a great place for students needing to get their work done and having amazing caffeinated beverages to help fuel us! First things first, I love the layout of the coffee shop! The high ceilings allow you to feel like you're not being suffocated with your assignments (lol), lots of comfortable sitting areas with plugs, and the best part is that it's well lit so it keeps you awake! My favorite go-to drink is the iced Adeni Chai (blackj tea with yemeni spices and cream) with cold foam. Warning! This drink is highly caffeinated. I made the mistake of drinking a 16 oz past 8pm and I was awake til 2am! I've tried their Yemeni Latte, it wasn't my personal favorite because of the many spices-- but I've talked to others and for some it's their drink of choice. The mango arabia is the one for you if you like your drinks sweet. I'm a creature of habit, so I will be sticking to the Adeni Chai! They also have a variety of milk cakes and a variety of savory goods. This coffee shop has the fuel you need to get your work done! read more

Came here to catch up with a friend on a weekday afternoon. She had bookmarked this place for a while. The shop is spacious. There's plenty of parking on the streets outside as it is located in the suburbs in Santa Clara. There was an assortment of people studying, working, solo, and chatting with friends. I ate before coming, but I wish I didn't once I saw the array of foods at the counter. The staff was friendly. I got the Yemeni latte. It came out fast. It was not too sweet and had a nice flavor! I noticed they had many offerings, even matcha. I'd love to try something new next time. The cleanliness could be better in terms of cleaning up after guests have left. There was a lot of trash and stains on the tables. Besides that, I would look forward to my next visit at Milyar! read more

So il rate on few things. First off we got a few drinksto test. Everybody agreed they were watered down flavors. We got pistachio latte, oat latte, shaken and cinnamon brown sugar latte, caramel machiatto. They felt watered down. Also the straws r so flimsy they bend when you need to stir the latte. Also its so loud and theres kids just playing and screaming. Spoke to another person who sat next to us and they said its always like this. The only benefit is that this place is close to masjid an noor. This is just another overpriced coffee spot lol. Service was good, staff luckily told the parents when somebody complained about the loud kids this time. Sure no long line at this time around 8:30pm on weekend, but flavor doesnt hit. read more
