    Decaf Yemeni latte, Yemeni chocolate
    Stasj T.

    Coffee enthusiasts ASSEMBLE!!! Made the mistake of NOT coming here to do work though CORRECTED that mistake by closing down the night here. Lovely atmosphere, and love learning about coffee. I got the Yemeni chocolate (stuffed with kanafe, surprise!) and a decaf Yemeni latte because I needed to sleep in a couple of hours. Neither disappointed! They also roast in house, so I brought back a 1/2 lb bag. Owner told me to wait a day or so, since they had just roasted the beans the night before (allows beans to rest and the flavors to come out). When I brewed them with my Fellow back home Make this a definite stop!

    This business share building with other businesses so just be sure you can find their entrance. The parking is very limited so you may have to park further away if it's busy. The pastries are good. I got the pistachio milk cake but felt like it's too milky. My friend got the mocha cake and she love it. I got brown sugar latte but it wasn't sure enough. She got the caramel macchiato and liked it. I do love the space that's for sure. It's so so so much bigger than haraz. Love that when it's busy, you can find seating as opposed to Haraz, it makes you feel like you don't even want to stay when you see how busy it is inside. I would come here again. Would love to try their other pastries.

    This is an interesting new Yemen style coffee house. I ordered a chai tea latte. It had such interesting flavor! Unlike any chai I've had. My husband got a latte of some sort and it also had a unique flavor going on. They both tasted good and really fresh! Just totally different flavors than we are used to. I would go back and try more things. Keep in mind they don't really have food, just a pastry case full of desserts I've never heard of before. Try it out and see what you think!

    Pistachio Latte (iced) with oat milk
    London E.

    Everytime I go, the coffee is consistently excellent. I love the pistachio latte with oat-milk. The atmosphere is nice and situated on a very cute side street lined with homes and small businesses. The staff is always helpful and professional and make sure your orders are just right. I went once and accidentally got the wrong order- I called and they literally remade the whole thing and replaced the entire order with no issue. It's a pleasure to go to local places that have quality and a great atmosphere. If you want to see more of my thoughts, I've posted on my TikTok(Londonlovie) my review and some of my favorite items. I'd say it's my top 5 coffee shops in CLT.

    Best Matcha Latte that I've ever had. Usually Matcha has some sort of after taste thing that I don't vibe with, but this one didn't at all. We didn't like the pastry selection so we walked to Haraz for that, but I definitely like the matcha better here. The ambiance is also bigger than Haraz and not as crowded. Its a nice vibe!

    This is really a nice coffee shop to work at when you want to get out of the house. They have an amazing strawberry matcha that is really good! The service here was friendly and willing to suggest good food items as well! I highly recommend coming early! It's gets packed in the AM.

    Pastries: they toast them for you but ask them to watch since this time came out a little burnt

    One of my fav spot back in NYC also came to Charlotte! Their chai is so good. Guess now Plaza area has two spots, hope they open more The space is large, good for groups.

    Hazelnut dessert
    Juliana D.

    Nice and spacious coffee shop in plaza Midwood. I loved how they had lots of seating inside and outside. The decor is very nice as well. I got the hazelnut dessert and it was good but it's was expensive for the size. It was pretty small. I also would have liked it to have more hazelnut flavor. I would like to come back and try their coffee another time.

    Brown sugar latte
    Elizabeth D.

    Beyond excited to have this unique new spot in the neighborhood! We came in this afternoon for drinks and a snack and were blown away by everything we tried. First of all, the space is beautiful - the high ceilings combine with stone and wood accents to make for an airy, inviting atmosphere. The staff couldn't be nicer - we decided to try the pistachio and brown sugar lattes (both iced) with the honeycomb pastry. I truly don't think I have ever tasted anything quite as good as that pistachio latte. We both couldn't get over that one! The brown sugar latte was also fantastic - I tasted lots of warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg - and the honeycomb came out warm and drizzled with honey... holy moly. Unbelievable. The bread reminded me of a yeast roll, and several pockets of it had a cream cheese mixture that's tartness was perfectly balanced with the sweet honey. We already can't wait to come back. Such an incredible new addition to Plaza Midwood!

    Pink Dragon Frappe
    Garland M.

    Not much of a coffee drinker but my wife enjoyed their Yemen coffee, and I enjoyed the tea. We came here to try their new pink dragon frappe which was delicious. It was more like a milkshake. We also got a fruit tea and strawberry matcha tea which were all good. This is located in the Plaza Midwood area of Charlotte so have to find street parking. The interior decor is really nice. It feels really upscale inside. The patio is pretty big and shaded which is where we decided to sit since it wasn't too hot the morning we went. The staff is also super helpful with helping you decide and describe the items on their menu. A nice spot to hang out grab a few delicious drinks, work, or even just chat.

    I've been to the Chicago location and first time at the Charlotte one! I like that there is room to sit there and eat and drink coffee/tea. The service is also really good! Everyone was friendly and gave us samples of the adeni chai. I got the honeycomb thing and it was really good!

    Iced Adeni Chai
    Artianna S.

    I really enjoyed this place and look forward to returning! I ordered an iced Adeni Chai and it was very delicious. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming and gave great suggestions. The space is really open and enjoyable. My friend got a small pot of the Adeni Chai which is enough for two people. It's definitely a lovely place to get together with friends and enjoy tea and pastries!

    After a long walk in the neighborhood we decided to stop by this newish coffee shop for a delicious treat and there were no regrets! Everything was a 10 out of 10, the service, the tea, the food, the decoration! I can't recommend this business enough and it needs to become a staple in the plaza neighborhood! I tried a traditional dessert from Yemen was flaky, but also buttery, cheesy, honeyey and soft at the same time. They warm it up for you so with every bite it literally melts in your mouth! I was also lucky enough to try some traditional black tea and all I can say is this coffee shop makes the best tea I probably ever had! Delicious and please go support!!

    Had a lovely solo night out at La Belle Helene! Had reservations in advance and was waited on…read morequickly and very attentively. I ordered the arugula salad which was incredibly delicious. Flavorful, with both very savory and yet light ingredients which made it perfect for an entree. Not too dense but also filling enough for the wait until dinner. Then the salmon a la plancha. The salmon was cooked to perfection and not overdone, which is unfortunately often the case. The perfect portion along with the tomatoes and kale to keep it rich, but still somehow light. Ended the night with their signature (and recommended) le citron lemon dessert which was to die for. The waitress also brought me some madelines with an adorable little personalized message to complement my little mom's solo night out. 10 out of 10 and certainly can't wait to come again!

    Steak Frites (5/5): The steak was well seasoned and well cooked. Lots of flavor but maybe just a…read morebit tough (that might've been because it was ordered medium though). The fries were battered and very crispy. These are the best kind! Complimentary Puff Pastry (4/5): These had the flavor of the bread at Brazilian steakhouses but with a different texture. The pastry was crumbly and there was a chilled gruyere mousse inside. Nice way to start the meal. French Onion Soup (3/5): Thick soup with lots of flavor. A little too sweet and tangy for me. I liked how much cheese there was on top. Duck A L'Orange (3/5): The duck wasn't that great. The skin wasn't crispy and it was a little too gamey. There was also very little meat in general. The orange sauce was runnier than I expected and very subtle. Good amount of potatoes and green beans which were solid. La Ricane (4/5): Reminded me of a Snickers ice cream bar but instead of ice cream it was a fluffy nougat. Good, but hard to justify the price when the ice cream version from the store is better and much cheaper haha Complimentary Madeleine (3/5): Nice that they gave these out at the end of the meal! Soft and bready with a light lemon flavor. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    Popped in yesterday to pick up a Too Good To Go and enjoyed a dozen of their classic cookies -…read morechocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, etc. It's a small shop on the first floor of a business center in downtown Charlotte. Since we were only running in and out, we just parked a block ahead on the street. The storefront is bright, open and clean, but there's no seating, so you have to take it to go which isn't a big deal since we were on our way to a book club anyway. Service was pleasant and quick, and you can't beat the value (12 cookies for $8 instead of $24). We will have a few to enjoy over the weekend now. I would definitely return. @azfitfoodfun

The smell when you walk in is amazing! We were greeted and immediately assisted with picking out our dozen. ( We didn't intend to get so many but wanted to try them all) We got 1 Dozen Cookies (2 Double Chocolate Chip, 2 Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, 2 Oatmeal Raisin, 2 Snickerdoodle, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Birthday Confetti). They were good... but none of the flavors really wowed us. Before checking out the employee made sure I signed up to get my reward points. If you try them sign up for the rewards you'll get deals on dozens. 4/6

We…read moreordered two peach cobblers, a caramel apple cobbler, and a cinnamon roll, and everything was absolutely perfect. The cobblers came out piping hot and paired with the vanilla ice cream on the side, they were incredibly delicious and definitely something I'll be daydreaming about later. They were also playing great music over the speakers, which added to the atmosphere, and the service was fantastic. The employees offered great recommendations and were always attentive, anticipating what we needed. We would've included a photo of the food, but it disappeared faster than we expected . Do yourself a favor and bring your family here...you won't regret it.

    We came in with a group and ordered several samplers to share so we could try a variety of flavors…read more We already knew the banana pudding didn't include fresh bananas, which was totally fine with us going in. Overall, the experience was very mixed. We tried the OG, cheesecake, Butterfinger, bourbon praline, blackberry, blackberry peach cobbler, sweet potato and pralines, and peach cobbler flavors. The cobblers being served warm was definitely nice, and I'd say the cobblers were probably the best part of what we tried. They were decent, although they tasted more like canned fruit fillings than homemade cobbler. The banana puddings and ice cream were average at best -- not terrible, but nowhere near the best we've had. The main reason I'm writing this review is because of the bourbon praline flavor. All four people in our group had the same reaction that something tasted very off. Comments included: * "It tastes like refrigerator." * "Is there soy sauce in this?" * "Yuck, this tastes like teriyaki." * "It tastes like the nuts are rotten" It genuinely tasted spoiled or contaminated with another flavor that may have been stored next to it in the fridge. When we politely asked if we could return or exchange it because it tasted so bad, the employee working basically shrugged and told us they didn't like that flavor either. Looking back, when we first arrived and asked for recommendations, they didn't offer much guidance. Bathroom was clean - water was only served in bottles, that cost $3. The chairs outside were very uncomfortable. Overall: warm cobblers were nice, some flavors were okay, but nothing stood out as exceptional -- and the bourbon praline was honestly one of the worst dessert flavors any of us have tried, we threw it away.
