This specific NJC location is an all time fav! I hadn't been in so long since they had to close down for a few months during the pandemic. It felt so good to pop in and get my fav: vanilla latte with oat milk. They are always so sweet and helpful. They actually introduced me to oat milk a couple of years ago and changed my life LOL. They usually have house made pastries like poptarts, which is pretty cool. There is also a men's clothing store inside and an art gallery. You really wouldn't know this just from driving by but this location is pretty damn cool!

Solid coffee. Good vibes. Headsup dont go exit from the driveway you come in from. You wont be able to see oncoming traffic. Theres an additional exit on another side that will safely let you out . But yeah coffee is great. Hot chocolate is good. I didnt check the gallery. But i like the vibe. Super chill better than starbucks. Bathrooms through the gallery. Your welcome. Also the barista is highly skilled. Like shes definitely the corner stone of this place.

This place is cute and different but a little confusing? It's mostly a clothing store and a book store and an art gallery with a tiny little counter for coffee. Their menu is super limited but they have probably anything you'd want. We got a black coffee and a vanilla oat milk latte - both were good, cost around $10. I feel like there are probably more welcoming coffee shops in the area.

The coffee was good but it felt like an afterthought in this space which seemed really dedicated to being a store and a gallery.

This is not a coffee shop. It's a men's clothing store, and an art gallery that has a small coffee counter with a very limited menu. Eh.

The French cafe vibe with the chandeliers and checkerboard floor gives it a lot of charm. The macaron counter is great. I usually buy a box of twelve as a gift, but honestly, half the time I end up eating them myself. The pistachio and strawberry matcha are solid, and they even had Dubai chocolate recently. Most everything in the pastry case tastes fresh, not like it's been sitting out all day. Shoutout to Nolan and the counter staff, too. They're super patient and friendly, which helps because people (definitely including me) take forever staring into the case trying to pick what they want. A couple of quick tips: if it's a weekend night, have someone in your group go hunt down a table while you wait in line. The patio out front is a good backup if inside gets packed. Just make sure your phone is charged before you head over, because outlets are practically nonexistent. Really glad to have a chill spot in Uptown that stays open until 10 PM!

The space is open & inviting. The case was filled with so many options. Even though there was a line, it didn't take long. I don't know how parking is because I walked over.

That's because they had a huge map outlining the historical trade routes that coffee beans were transported on, as well as an homage to some of the patrons of coffee cultivation. They backed up these historical displays with great customer service, a solid cup of coffee, and a truly mesmerizing ambiance. I've been to so many coffee shops in my life, and Qahwah House was the first time, if not ever, then definitely in a long time, that I felt like I experienced something unique. I loved it. Overall, I loved Qahwah House, and I'll assuredly be back as soon as I can. I'd also recommend it to anybody looking for something new to experience!

Service was fast you order with them and sit down until they buzz you. Parking is a little tough here as there lot is undergoing construction. There is street parking but weekends might be tough. It feels like another world when I sit enter this place and sit down. Nice place to hang out with friends and play board games or catch up.

I read through some of the other reviews and I want to set the record straight. Yes, it's inside a church but there is a separate entrance. Yes, there are Christian books but also other genres. Yes, the coffee is very affordable BECAUSE all the staff are volunteers. No one is getting paid and they LOVE what they do. All smiles and great service. The proceeds go to local and global missions of the church. Win, win all the way around. The place itself is very spacious. Two levels. The seating areas are comfortable and far enough apart you can have some semiprivacy if you need it. My friend who brought me says she comes here all the time to study (she's in college). All of the staff knew her by name. (love places like that) I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't really speak to the coffee (although my friend says it's pretty good). I am a tea drinker though and they have a variety of flavors, some refresher juice drinks, a few pastries. Please support. Every now and again if you're thinking of getting coffee or a pastry, choose them. Why not? Do some good for the community through others who are committed to giving back.

Good amount of seating inside (mostly 2-seaters; one larger table reserved for bigger groups). Helpful and friendly staff who were amazing with my little one. You have to try a slice of the basque cheesecake. The plain slice (with no whipped cream or fruit topping) is not overly sweet and the perfect amount of "burnt" & creamy. We also tried the madeleines, which - as the café's name suggests - were on point. And the garlic bagel is a garlic + cream cheese lover's dream. The iced dalgona latte was such a treat. Sweet with a creamy foam and topped with crunchy cookies - very well balanced and delightful to drink. The prices reflect the care and high quality of the products. Come support this amazing local spot and enjoy their unique, thoughtful offerings!

The café is decorated charmingly, with little Madeleine cookie designs stamped throughout the space. They have a small section with some gift items for sale. They also sell Madeleine cookies, of course, though we didn't get any. The service was given with genuine smiles. The prices were normal - not a deal but not over-the-top. We enjoyed our breakfast and will happily come back!

Not crowded on this day and time. Super spacious. Noise level was cool. Diversity in the customers: some eating, some working, some talking and drinking, some reading, groups, couples, individuals. Seating is diverse as well from two person tables to comfy sofas. We chose to sit at a floor to ceiling window in the sun on a comfy sofa. Service was great, being our first time the menu was explained. We were given a number for our drinks and they were brought to us about 5-7 min late. My tea was picked up right as I finished it. Located in the pavilion in university area across from the hospital. They are on the second floor so if mobility access is a concern, there's a walk from the parking lot and no way to get any closer. There is plenty of shared parking though. Very clean, chill space. I'm not a coffee drinker, I hear it's delicious. But my matcha tea was good. My daughter loved her Dubai chocolate Frappuccino. I'll be back and will definitely try the Dubai chocolate waffle or the croissant: decisions decisions.

They have ample space to handle the crowd and it's well staffed with people constantly walking around helping and answering questions. Service is fast and everyone is so nice. They have a variety of seating arrangements which makes it great for large or small groups. This may sound like a lot is going on, and it is...but at the same time it's very relaxing and chill. You place your order at the counter and I'm telling you, they have a great variety to choose from. My party shared some chicken flatbread, a Caprese style appetizer(not its name), and sweet potato cheesecake. Whe all enjoyed some coffee made to order for our liking. We even ordered some pistachio and dubai chocolate desserts to go. Everything was superb! We sat and talked for hours and just soaked in the environment. I had such a great experience and I'm really looking forward to dining here again.
