    Coffee was great, would return. Very clean and unique interior. Friendly and attentive staff.

    Iced Caramel Latte
    Aroma N.

    All the drinks I've tried here have been excellent, especially the adeni tea and my favorite, the iced caramel latte. Love the decor as well. It does get very busy on weekends with a long wait sometimes

    Well i think they got me - i'm never the person who really order coffee at the shop but let me just say Qahwah house iced latta (w/sugar).... YES PLEASE! Oh don't forget your straw because the GOOD stuff is at the bottom and oh yeah with whip cream on top -- YUMMY!!! **It's the spices that does it for me** Not sure how crowded it gets - it's semi-spacey but with limited sitting, so i wouldn't suggest a big group unless you call a head and maybe they can make some type of arrangement. The employees were super nice and greeted me while assisting others. Well i be back - yes because i think i would like to try some other things that i can't get a my local store. Happy drinking!

    Pistachio Cake
    Linda S.

    The coffee shop was absolutely beautiful inside. It would be such a nice place to go in and just relax. The feel was older and vintage with wooden decorations, huge glass windows and glass paneling where you can see the workers directly working on your cup of coffee. The pistachio cake was so light and fluffy. The drink was also very interesting and strong. I'm not used to the middle eastern flavors. It felt like a coffee with strong hints of cinnamon and spices. It hit very much in the back of the throat. Service was fast also!

    Adeni Tea and red velvet cake
    Jesse S.

    Never dull moment here. I love this place reminds me of my deployments to the Middle East. Around this time perfect to have an oak nog latte. Humbling customer service along with great Yemeni coffee. Along with Oak Nog latte I love my favorite fluffy 3 layer red velvet blast cake. I love sitting down here the music is meditating and suing wish I could understand the language. It doesn't feel like a coffee house nor a pastry shop. I am not Arabic but when I come here I forget about the troubles in the world. This is just a great place to find peace too. That is all. Chief The self control of oneself begins with respect.

    Great service and great coffee! The coffee was full of favor and the gentleman who puts in orders was very helpful in finding the right coffee for your own personal preference. The ambience of the coffee shop is beautiful as well!

    Chai
    Lindsay L.

    This is my absolute favorite place to get chai. You can share a pot with people (small or large) and the small pot is plenty for two people, maybe even too much! It is so authentic and flavorful and the pastries are also very good especially the cloud cake. The interior is very well decorated and plenty of room, as well as a large outdoor patio. The employees are also very friendly and fast.

    Schaefer rd location

    I've been to the location in downtown Dearborn and that one is much better as far as sitting down and the aesthetic as it's much bigger. But I got a to go cup of the adeni chai and it's just so perfect and comforting. It's hot, it has the perfect blend of spice, and overall great. The service is good here they ask you if you need sugar and everything and will put it in for you.

    Adeni chai
    John B.

    Having tried the expansion that they wisely placed near the Ford museum complex, I thought why not try the original; it must be even better. It was not. The second location is actually bigger and nicer and both have a similar wood-accented aesthetic. However, they are both substantively the same and both very good. Even as a non-coffee-drinker, I find their interpretation of chai quite intoxicating, with an aromatic spice blend that hits the senses. I asked for mine lightly sweetened, which was just right. The place also houses a sneaky good display of pastries. I'm not the hugest fan of Middle Eastern desserts, in part because the traditional ones don't have any chocolate (a Central American plant). But the triple chocolate cake they had on offer shows that they know what to do with chocolate when they're given the chance. The food and drink are a great representation of the local community, but I wish this taste was more widespread in the U.S. There is a parking lot out back which confused me, so I parked in the neighborhood, which was one of the more distinct ethnic enclaves I've ever seen in the U.S. I was then asked nicely to move my car in anticipation of someone's house party, which I did. It's an interesting neighborhood, and visitors will likely be very happy they searched out this cafe.

    Adeni Chai
    Mary M.

    The ambiance is of this Qawah House is different than the other location but it has the same great taste. This location has two floors. There is map depicting the coffee trading around the world. There are unique pieces of art around the place. Definitely worth visiting. I ordered a small pot of Adeni Chai and it was delicious. The honeycomb bread was also very good and pairs so well with the chai. The service was alright. I had to repeatedly ask for the same items.

    Maple frappe and pumpkin spice frappe
    Jeffrey C.

    Amazing spot we always come here vibe is good place isn't loud and the staff is super friendly all the time one of my favorite spots for coffee

    Yemeni latte
    Heidi P.

    Very friendly service. The place was very clean. I had a yemeni latte which had so many layers of flavors and was really tasty.

    Yemení iced latte
    Charli O.

    Went to a fun Yelp Exploration Society Event here and discovered a wonderful place to get amazing coffee! The staff was so kind and patient with a newbie to coffee (me).

    I got the strawberry shortcake matcha and it was delicious! I could taste not only the strawberry,…read morebut the shortcake as well. A lot of their drinks are a tad on the pricier side, but I thought it was worth it. They have a case of milk cakes that I really need to try the next time I'm back. My friend had the banana matcha which she really liked. She also had the honeycomb bread. I had a bite and it was a really nice balance between light bread, creamy cheese, and a drizzle of honey. The service was quick. You can either order at the counter or at a tablet on the wall. There is plenty of seating with beautiful lighting and decor throughout. There are outlets and WiFi if you want to do work here.

The line was overflowing all the way to the entrance--always a good sign. On a quick glance, I loved the ambience. It has that cozy Mediterranean coffee-house vibe that feels warm and inviting. My friend tried to check if there were any tables inside, but it was completely packed. Not sure if it's newly opened or just that popular, but for a Friday evening around 8:30 pm, the crowd said it all. I'll give it 3 stars for now since I couldn't really sit and enjoy the experience, but I'll definitely revisit and bump it up or down after my next visit

    This is the Coffee shop vibe you are looking for. I was able to come in and log into work as I ate…read moreand it was very chill. So there is street parking so keep that in mind. It is in front of a building that has a lot of other storefronts...but if you park anywhere on that block of Michigan Ave you will be within walking distance. They thrive in coffee and pastries but they do have a really good egg sandwich as well. They are super nice and friendly and will walk your food to your table. It's not a large shop so it may be crowded depending on what time you go. There is a countertop that seats 4, a long table ther seats about 10, and a few 2 top tables. If you have a large group this may not be for you. Alba egg sandie - this was an excellent sandwich. I wish it had sausage or bacon on it but regardless it's great. It's light and fluffy as well as airy and savory. It comes with the aioli/chive and this is what sets it off. But the egg is thick and the perfect size to boot.

    [Out-of-Towner Review]…read more Possibly one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had! That's a strong statement, but OH MY was it good! The Alba Egg Sandie is a soufflé egg on a brioche bun with cheddar, chile deârbol aioli, and chive (available until 2pm). The flavor was incredible. My only gripe is how much egg is on there, but I tend to get the egg ick quick. So I'm sure it's a normal size and I am just odd. I was so enamored with the breaky sando, I don't fully remember my thoughts on the coffee. It's an iced latte with soy milk, I think. If not, it's oat milk. Either way, the food stole the show! The interior is a vibe and I really enjoyed it in there. And so did many others, the back was already full with people gathering, studying, or working. The front was empty and full of good vibes. The staff were what I may call eccentric. Not quick to hurry themselves or their customers. They didn't even say my name when my food was ready. Not a big deal, just didn't realize this was their style, since it was my first time. If you're in or near #corktowndetroit, I highly suggest a visit! Don't be silly and stroll right past, stop in!

Cody helped me figure out some combinations to try. I bought a few bags of coffee and immediately had to have some as soon as I arrived home.

As you can tell, I like some sweetness and these blends were just my style. My mom is a serious coffee drinker and they recommended 80% French roast and 20% super dark roast. My mom loved it!!! They definitely have something for everyone and can match you with your perfect coffee blend. I bought several treats with nuts in it, like pistachios, and some chocolates too. Everything was delicious! There are opportunities to sample things throughout the store too. There are so many treats and products to choose from, and it's organized beautifully. Excellent service from Adam and Cody. It was a great experience and I will definitely return.
