    Spinach and feta danish, Yemeni latte with sugar
    Danielle G.

    This is such a cute place, great for a snack and quiet for getting work done. The person at the counter was very helpful, I loved the spinach and feta danish - so good. Try the Yemeni latte with sugar, it was delicious.

    Turkish coffee.

    Incredible coffee and pastries. I've missed really good Turkish coffee since Marie Catrib's closed several years ago. Qahwah's coffee is on point! The ambiance is great too with the decor. A highly recommended place!

    It's a little coffee house gem tucked in with all the other Knapp's Corners fun spots. I just had a Yemeni sweet latte. Bold and rich coffee flavors swirled with sweet cream and touch of sugar. Paired it with their traditional honeycomb pastry, drizzled with honey. It's fun to bite off each little bubble sections one at a time. Free WiFi, so it also makes a great remote work spot. Yum!

    I go to their Charlotte location pretty often and when I saw it in GR I had to try it. It's the same exact replica, I am in love with their pistachio latte but I am very disappointed they don't have many vegan desserts. Humble request for the owner if you are reading this please add some vegan options.

    Really enjoyed this coffee shop! Relaxed atmosphere, extremely clean with earthy decor. So many unique coffee and treat options. I really loved my lavender matcha latte. I can't wait to take my husband back to try the coffee and possibly a sweet treat!

    Qahwah House is a Yemeni coffee chain that started in Detroit. They currently have 17 locations in Michigan, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Ohio, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. I love checking out coffee shops, so even though it's a chain, I believe it's locally owned. Nate and I stopped in recently to grab a drink and a snack. The space is bright with lots of windows. The menu was a bit overwhelming with lots of choices, but they were patient and kind and gave good recommendations. There is a big case full of delicious looking desserts and pastries. I ended up getting the Adeni chai and a pistachio dream cake. Nate got a Yemeni coffee and the carrot cake. We were given a buzzer for our order. I didn't see a wifi sign posted but I am sure they have free wifi. I liked the big map they had on the wall. When our buzzer went off, we got our order - everything was nicely arranged on a tray. The Adeni chai was delicious! Very smooth and quite sweet (I might ask for it less sweet next time). I loved the pistachio dream cake, it was creamy and delicious. The carrot cake was so good too, not dry and with some delicious frosting. Overall this is a really nice spot to gather with friends or get some work done. I will definitely be back for more!

    Carrot cake, jubani pot (serves 2-3), Yemeni latte
    Laurel S.

    New coffee spot in town! The Yemeni latte is a must try- slightly sweetened with ginger, cardamom and cinnamon - so good!! Jubani coffee pot had the same flavors, but not sweetened at all - they do ask if you'd like this. The pot is a bit deceiving as we had a bit leftover. The carrot cake was very good! Moist with good flavor. The frosting was not overly sweet. Overall a good place to try if you are ok with waiting a while, it took about 25 minutes to get our coffees.

    Caramel latte and strawberry matcha
    Lucy G.

    So glad we stopped here. Yumm! The strawberry matcha latte was absolute perfection! Perfectly sweet and earthy. The caramel latte was amazing as well, I just wished they made better designs, presentation is everything to me when it comes to hot lattes, especially at an establishment as this one. Service was pretty quick even tho they were pretty busy.

    Great location with a shared parking lot. I really like how late it is open since most coffee places close early! They have a good variety of drinks and can make many of them hot or iced. They also have some customizations, such as adding honey or vanilla to the match. We all enjoyed our coffee drinks (at like 9pm haha) and they were pretty too. They also have some small little cakes and pastries available to purchase which I'm told were yummy (by the people we went with).

    Serving up delicious varieties of coffee in a gorgeous setting and peaceful ambiance, Qahwah House is a perfect addition to the west Michigan coffee scene serving up some of my favorite types of coffee. I have been obsessed with Turkish coffee since I first tried it, but I had no idea the diversity of styles of coffee available! And the pastry options are truly out of this world - the Pistachio Dream I tried was cool, creamy, and absolutely delightful - a perfect choice on a hot day! And my coffee choice was the Mofowar, containing a litany of spices most notably the cardamom along with some cream and (per my request) just a dash of sugar to add some sweetness. The friendly faces and kind welcome to greet me in was enough to make me feel right at home - but the amazing selection will bring me back for more!

    Sabaya, honey cake
    Sarah G.

    I heard about this new Yemeni coffee shop by the Celebration Cinema North, and since I adore Turkish coffee, I thought I'd check it out. It is located in the old Starbucks location (Starbucks moved into their own building next door). When I arrived, there was enough parking in the lot, and I walked right in and was able to place my order. The cafe was pleasantly full. Always a good sign.The gentleman who took my order smiled and greeted me warmly. I felt like he was welcoming me into his home. I ordered some coffee and I perused the pastries in the cabinet. The gentleman asked if I was looking at pastries, and if I was, they just had some come out of the oven. I always take recommendations of the experts, so I agreed. I got everything to go. The coffee was thick, flavorful, and well balanced but not bitter. The pastry was slightly sweet, but not too sweet, buttery, and flaky. They have some beautiful looking teas and European espresso drinks as well as Middle Eastern coffees, as well as some delectable sweets.

    Pistachio Mix used at Qahwah House

    I visited Qahwah House with a friend and I have to say I am really disappointed. The Sabaya was dry and the honeycomb had a weird texture. The staff made me feel rushed when I was giving my order and asking questions. I was appalled to find out that Qahwah House uses Cappuccine Pistachio Frappe Mix which is loaded with artificial dyes, flavors and contains dairy. I wish I knew that before I ordered my friend her iced pistachio latte with oat milk. She ended up not feeling well so I looked up the ingredients online and found the exact mix on Amazon. Qahwah House is a coffee shop that prides itself on authenticity and culture, but uses generic pistachio frappe mix for one of their signature lattes. It makes me wonder what else they are overcharging for. Not to mention, the tables were dirty underneath. In the meantime, my friends and I will take the drive out to Kalamazoo and go to Mocha House instead! Hopefully someone will open an actual good and authentic Yemeni Coffeeshop in GR sometime soon. Qahwah draws in people that don't know much about the culture, and rips them off completely.

    So glad I found this new gem. I've been wanting a local, non big chain go-to coffee spot and this is probably it. Tired of getting (Star-who?) coffee for convenience. The flavors are bold and delicious. I've had the Adreni Chai, Pistachio Latte, and a pot of traditional Turkish coffee and nothing disappointed. Friendly staff, keep it up!

    My cafe latte was delicious, as was the vegan carrot cake. And the owners clearly did not skimp on the furniture or decor.

    I saw this coffee truck recently at the Fulton Street Market so wanted to give it a try. They had a…read morelarge menu of coffee drinks, but also lemonades, teas, and other options. I got an iced latte, and Nate got an iced vanilla latte. Their coffee is air roasted, which apparently means it's less acidic. The people working in the truck were friendly and very kind. Our drinks were made quickly and I loved the compostable cups and straws! I'd never seen those before and thought they were very cool. The latte mostly tasted like oat milk to me, without much coffee/espresso flavor. It was good but not quite what I'm used to for a latte. I'd definitely try some of their other drinks in the future. They were also selling bags of coffee and I liked the Star Wars themes!

    It was at the farmers market, where we first discovered Runyon House Roasts. You can usually find…read morethem there all season long with coffee ready to go. They also offer their coffee ground or in whole bean bags to take home. They roast their coffee in small batches, so you always know it's fresh. What caught my eye initially were the fun names for their different blends. As a Star Wars fan myself, I couldn't help but appreciate the clever play on words they use in their marketing. I also like that they offer a subscription in a reusable canister either in one or 2 pound sizes. Three cheers for sustainability! They also have been known to offer hot chocolate mixes, and are growing their wholesale business becoming the supplier for several locations around Grand Rapids. Ed, the roaster and coffee connoisseur extraordinaire is knowledgeable friendly and will also deliver your order for a minor delivery charge. I cannot recommend them enough they literally make my morning!
