    Mango matcha
    Jasmine T.

    I've heard so many good things about Qahwah House, so I'm glad I finally visited. It's conveniently downtown and there's a parking lot across the street, so you're already winning. The inside is really spacious, well lit and decorated, with lots of seating and plus along the walls. I loved their mural art! I got settled at a table to knock out my to do list and some meetings and decided to try the mango matcha...delish! It was so creamy and not too sweet. I also tried a pastry and can't remember the name of it, but it was good too. It was a cloudy day, but I still sat by the window to soak up any sun I could. Definitely adding them to my list of remotes working spots :)

    Lattes and baked goods were all excellent.  Even the tableware was lovely.

    This is a very large coffee house that is attractively decorated and very comfortable. There is a ton of seating. Admittedly, I don't know much about Yemeni coffee other than it has a reputation as being very high quality. The coffee options skew toward interesting and authentic Yemeni drinks, but there are plenty of "regular" options, too. I tried a pistachio latte that was delicious. Even the tableware is attractive and of high quality. Don't sleep on the baked goods. We tried a couple of them and they were crusty and absolutely delicious. The very high ratings are legit. This is a coffee house that is well worth visiting.

    Very nice inside. Great coffees and chais and pastries! Plenty of seating. Buzzer to know when your order is ready. The ice cream chai was very good but also very sweet. Tasted like a frap texture like a frozen Chai.

    Large clean dining room with nice aesthetic. Beautiful wood wall art showing Yemen coffee origin and distribution takes up much of one side wall. Gorgeous, well done. Impressed with the service. Very knowledgeable, very friendly. You ordering are given a disk that will flash when your order is ready. That's nice sure does be standing in line waiting for your food or having to listen for your name. The dining room is large full of lots of wooden for top tables, and a few tall chairs that service a wall counter top. Lighting is warm and relaxing. Lots of sunlight as the curbside of the coffee house is entirely windows. Quiet music this place is relaxing in a good place to do some work. We ordered the Yemeni latte, and the Jiboni with honeycomb pastry to share. The latte was cracked perfectly with lovely coffee. Art had a nutty flavor to it. I had honey added to it. It was done perfect not too sweet smooth and creamy would get again. Jobani almost looked like thick lightly milky tea, because it was coffee coffee husks vs ground beans. As far as flavor - it was enjoyable, not as acidic, not as robust as americanized coffee or traditional espresso. If you like tea and also like coffee try this you will like it. If you are a thick robust coffee person, skip The honeycomb is a triangular pastry. Tiny little balls connected each filled with cream cheese with homey on it. Served warm. Delicious. Definitely try if you don't like overly sweet things. I get this whenever I see a place that has it. My favorite thing to pair with my coffee.

    Now this is a coffee shop! And the funniest part is neither my husband nor myself got any coffee...haha! My husband got a hot tea, I got a hot chocolate, and we shared the honeycomb pastry. That pastry was different than any other thing I've ever had, but I would tell everyone I know to get it! It was so fun to drizzle the honey all over it as well as pick it apart and eat it. The next time we go to Columbus this will definitely be a stop for us.

    What a very very lovely cafe! The drinks here are exceptional! I Love Chi and it is hard to find a place that has actual authentic Chi! My hot Chi was so thick and full of flavor I felt like I was transported to a different place! That had a lot of seating and as k read my book I saw a lot of other people happily working or enjoying quiet conversations with friends! The staff were very welcoming and cheerful, their smiles contagious! What a very beautiful place! As I left I also noticed they had a very nice outside seating area which could be very lovey to spend time in! I highly recommend this cafe!

    Bassboosa and Adeni chai
    James H.

    First time going to a Yemeni coffee house. My friend who is not a coffee drinker recommended trying Yemeni coffee and tea. They really wanted to take me here to try their coffee. I decided to try their Adeni chai because I am also a big fan of Chai tea. Their chai was very nice, had a smoothness to it and it was the right balance with the chai leaves and the milk. It was steeped well and it actually worked out really well with the dessert pastry that I got because it helped balance out the sweetness. Their The ambiance of this place is nice. I really like the center of the cafe because they have a circular table with their coffee roaster and grinding machine right at the heart of their building, where people can sit around and drink their coffee and tea and eat their pastries. I got the bassboosa, which is like a baklava but without the pastry part, but it was nutty had the grinded texture from the pistachio and I believe it was walnuts was great with the honey that combined with.

    Had a lovely time at Qahwah House! For this week, they are giving free coffee to teachers and nurses! Just bring your ID and they will take it off the bill I was deeply appreciative of the pistachio latte I got to try! It was super creamy and filled with pistachio flavor, which went well with the bitterness of the coffee. The Qishr was great too--it is a traditional Yemini hot beverage made with the outer husks of coffee beans, and spiced with ginger and cardamom. It was light and super flavorful nonetheless. The coffee pot and cups were very cute too! As for baked goods, there were so many to choose from. The spinach feta was a nice savory option, with a flaky crust and filled with warm cheese and spinach paste inside. If you're looking for a sweeter option, the Yemini chocolate had a smooth layer of chocolate and a crispy pistachio filling inside. The interior is well decorated, with wooden furniture, artsy walls with maps and different facts about Yemini coffee, and industrial roof details. Since they have lots of seating, it's a nice spot to sit and hang out downtown. The parking is paid street parking, but it's worth it if you're looking for a quality coffee shop downtown.

    I just discovered this great coffee shop on main street. It only has street parking close to downtown. The coffee tastes great. Also, they have great looking desserts which I didn't try.But perhaps next time. The inside is beautiful with pictures from the country of origin. The service was great and they were very nice.

    Brown sugar latte
    Samantha M.

    Ordered the brown sugar latte and it was delicious! By the time we got there, around 6:30ish a couple of the pastries were out for the day but they all looked so good. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try them as I couldn't stay for too long bc their WiFi was acting a little bit finicky. Having already purchased a latte I didn't think it was worth paying for a pastry when I wasn't planning on staying much longer. The cafe has plenty of seating with outlets nearby. I'm sure it's a great study spot when the WiFi is up and working smoothly. One note is to dress light as it felt a bit humid inside, it got warm fast. Overall, I was impressed with their latte and hopefully one day I can come back and give them another try. I really like how they are open late making it a great spot to study after class/work.

    Diana P.

    Great spot for coffee, tea and desserts! It's very spacious inside for anyone wanting to work or meet with friends. There's an upstairs deck/rooftop with a nice view of town. A nice way to spend time outside. The service was quick and easy.

    Johann M.

    Amazing, the taste of the coffee here is so different, I'm a good way of course, this time we ordered some pastry and was as good as they look. The service is amazing as always and the ambiance is really hipster and chill. Everything was clean and organized. A must go.

    It was our first time here and it was a warm, cozy, and inviting environment. There's plenty of seating and space to sit. It can get loud with the amount of people but typical busy cafe noise levels. They have wifi available for people who need it. I think it's a really nice place to do work, with outlets and wifi! There's plenty of tables and for various sized groups. Parking is a bit difficult just because it's downtown but it's a nice place to be. We got a couple drinks and their pistachio cake. I like all their drinks, you really can't go wrong and they're flavorful and strong! The cake was moist, sweet, and made well. I recommend trying any of their pastries with a drink, it's a good balance between the flavors. Staff was very nice and accommodating, answered our questions and were patient. The space was clean, open, and busy. I would recommend for their coffees, teas, and space to work! They're open late and can accommodate various sized groups. I like this space, I wish the location provided better access but it's a good place to be.

The line moved fast and the staff were very efficient. There was outside seating as well as a few seats inside. I like that they support local small business.

I got the smoked salmon sandwich, maple butter latte, and a of course some macarons. My friend got the bacon onion quiche, chocolate pistachio feuillette, and a spiced apple matcha. Drinks were great. Both were creamy and tasty. I preferred the maple butter latte because it wasn't too sweet. I also wished mine came in a larger size. Smoked salmon sandwich was my favorite part of the meal. It was dill forward which was not an issue with me. The bread had a nice crunch to it. The cucumbers add a nice freshness that paired with the crème fraiche. I got a small tasting of the pistachio dessert which was rich but surprisingly made you want more. I like the nice touch of gold specks which made it very elegant. My friend enjoyed the quiche which was exciting to hear since they hate onions. They said they didn't even notice any. Can't wait to come back for some seasonal flavors Tip: Parking is a bit tough. Try to park a few blocks down since it's rare to find a spot right next to the cafe.

    **5 stars for the milk bread**…read more FUN FACT -- Tous Les Jous is owned by a South Korean food conglomerate group (same concept as Paris Baguette) and this is a bakery with Asian and European baked goods. I visited Tous Les Jours for the first time on Memorial Day (May 2026) at the Columbus location. I arrived around 2:30pm on a Monday. Surprisingly, they had lots of options available even with my late arrival because most bakeries run out of items quickly. They sell croissants, cakes, milk breads, macarons, drinks, etc. MY ORDER ($18.95 total for 4 items) -- Twist Donut ($2.95), Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50), Almond Croissant ($4.75), and a Whole Milk Loaf bread ($6.75). 1. Twist donut ($2.95) - sweet but not overly sweet. It tasted just like a regular twist donut that you'll find at other donut shops. 2. Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50) - good. Perfect savory option for breakfast or lunch. Soft and buttery bread base. I think $3 would have been a better price but the bread roll was good. I ate this in my car before driving back to Cleveland. It held me over until I got home. 3. Almond Croissant ($4.75) - my favourite item - buttery with some almond cream or paste inside. Topped with almonds. I don't like creamy things at all and I didn't realize that this croissant had a cream inside until I opened it but the cream is very light and it is more of a spread than a cream. 4. Whole Milk Loaf Bread ($6.75) - Fresh and soft. Definitely my other favourite item. This was all gone within a day, that's how good it was. Buttery goodness. The best bread. Overall, I enjoyed visiting Tous Les Jours and I hope to visit their Cleveland location soon. I ordered takeout so I didn't sit in but they have some tables and chairs available. I'll definitely be back if I'm close by the area again. Tous Les Jours means everyday in French and I wish I could visit them everyday...haha. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 101/250 total reviews in 2026 - 942 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026
