I have zero complaints and all praises about my experience to Raha I had recently gone to a different location and left with a great experience. I happen to be in the area and realized they had one nearby and decided to stop in. I was eager to have another cup of Pistachio Latte and my daughter wanted another Chai. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is beautiful. The person who designed these stores did an outstanding job.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was clean and neat, well stocked and had a nice flow.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices are comparable to most higher end coffee shops. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great location for a coffee date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a lovely spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In the university plaza this coffee shops second location is open! I've been watching it for a while to see when it opened. Today, heading to the movies I saw the paper was off the windows and lights were on. In I went. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful on the onside, 2 stories and plenty of seating. Some chairs, some stools[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I saw people with computers so they probably offer WiFi too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't have a coffee, but I did have one of the desserts. It was very good. Shaped like a fruit. They have a variety of cakes on offer. Plenty of coffees and plenty of treats for everyone. This is great for the Plaza. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tons of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Easy parking. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A very glamorous space, really like the wooden flute decor upstairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The iced adeni chai was good, I wish the sweetener wouldn't sink to the bottom. Looked like their drink menu was expansive, would love to see more savory items. Staff was quick and efficient! read more

Not going to lie I really just wanted to go here for the texture of biting into the shell of this mousse cake and it didn't disappoint. I didn't love the flavor but that's on me and my taste buds. Next time I will probably try the pistachio because this one was just a little bit too sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I do love the vibe inside this coffee house. It's absolutely beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Raha Coffee House is amazing. Lovely, cozy place inside. Plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Raha Mohwar coffee is great. Strong but not bitter with cardamom & cream creating a beautiful balance in a cup The bee bites are great and Sabaya too. The young lady warmed up both and topped with more honey which made my morning 100x better. I'll def be back as Raha is a serious contender for best bee bites in WNY! read more

Ok now, Grant and Amherst St is bringing attention to the neighborhood with a fine spot for coffee. RCH offers some really good Yemen coffee and other drink options. They also offer a limited amount of food and dessert options. The atmosphere is relaxing, especially when you sit on the lounge chairs. Definitely come for the coffee options and stay a while as you enjoy their wifi. Brown sugar latte- really good quality of coffee I loved the bold flavor Matcha latte- amazing...this drink is very filling and the flavor is earthy but add a bit of sweetener and it's perfect. Bee's bites- hard to describe the bread, but the texture is toasted on the outside. Yet the inside is chewy and dense with creamy cream cheese inside. Ooh and can't forget the honey that's drizzled on top. I found this dessert was unique, but I could only eat so much of it. I definitely had to share this read more

It has been a few months since we have come here so we decided to visit again. As we are fond of yemeni and various Arabic style coffees, we visit a few places in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This one is probably the most popular, probably as it's right near campus. You will always find it busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If this is your vibe, I'd recommend visiting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you prefer a more quiet setting, there are other places you can find.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No matter what, this coffee house does a great job with what they do and I wish them nothing but the best. They have some great variety of coffees, and also a good variety of pastries. On this occasion, on this occasion, we picked up some coffee and a fruit shaped mousse pastry and two macarons. The macarons aren't recommended, though the mousse was decadent and delicious. read more

Not really a coffee drinker figure I'd try something different and it was good.

It was clean and roomy as we entered with a decent amount of seating including tables & chairs and a sofa area. They offer a selection of hot and cold beverages and baked goods. I wanted to order the Rafa signature latte and sabaya, but was informed they were sokd out of sabaya. The friendly cashier suggested the bee bite after seeing my disappointment, but I had already tried that so I went with the cinnamon roll croissant. My friends ordered milk cakes, lattes and a hit chocolate. Everyone seemed to enjoy their choices. The caramel milk cake was the fan favorite. The pistachio latte was not found to be as pistachio-y as expected. I enjoyed my signature latte and the croissant was warmed & flaky. If I make it out this way again, I'd stop in hoping to try the sabaya! read more

Went to meet a friend for tea and this newish Café was a warm and inviting space. not too large so seating can feel a little cramped in places, but an overall nice atmosphere. We both got the Adeni chai latte (iced versus hot) and really enjoyed them. We also chose to get a few different treats to complement our beverages, including the Biscoff cheesecake, bee bites, and one very overpriced, but beautiful pistachio-filled chocolate bar, lol. I was not expecting to pay $16 for it, but that's on me for not paying closer attention sooner. Overall, the Biscoff cheesecake was my favorite thing and was a real delight to combine two of my favorite things together with Biscoff cookies and cheesecake! The service was pretty good considering it was a Saturday morning and they were busy and the staff were hustling getting orders out as quickly as they could. read more

To the people who could not rate this place five stars...are you okay? Maybe you just need to drink more coffee... Raha is a DESTINATION in Black Rock, a cozy little coffee shop that boasts truly traditional Yemeni coffees as well as the American classics we all know and love. One of my favorite things about this place: THEY'RE OPEN LATE!! There are so few cozy spots in Buffalo that are open late anymore, and the fact that I can get a coffee kick after 8pm at this magnificent place is just the bees' knees. If you need a place to pull up a laptop or get comfortable with a group of friends after a nice dinner, this is genuinely a wonderful place to end an evening. Raha functions as your standard coffee joint, with a full menu of all varieties of coffees and teas. They even do frappuccinos and smoothies, and iced coffee! They also offer small bites - we had the Bee bites, aka Honeycomb Bread, which was delicious! Coming down to the reason I feel so passionate about writing this review right now: I ordered a caramel macchiato (sorry, I was not feeling adventurous and decided to keep to my standard comfort drink) and it was perhaps the BEST caramel macchiato I've had...ever...in my whole life. Like it was so good. It made me realize I forgot what GOOD coffee tastes like. AND THE LATTE ART?! Oh my goodness. I can't even tell you the last time a coffee shop served me a latte in a proper ceramic mug. It's clear that there is a lot of love and care put in to this place. Not only was service very quick (we probably waited 5 minutes tops for two drinks and bee bites), but who I assume was the owner seemed very kind and caring for the respect of the coffee house space (moving furniture back after guests left it astray, lightheartedly laughing and joking with customers). You can judge the amount of consideration that goes in to the craft just by the amazing quality you will find here. In a world of fast coffees Raha encourages me to slow down, sip, and enjoy. You should too!! read more

This is my first time at Raha coffee house. It has the most unique and beautiful interior. I only ordered these two drinks to go, they were delicious. The guys working there were nice, nothing special. I wish they cleaned the tables more though because when we arrived, we saw a vacant area where we wanted to sit but couldn't because the table was still dirty from previous customer. The table remained dirty the 2.5 hours we were there. Other than that, our time was pleasant read more

First time here! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think the best part of this place is definitely the ambiance. It's really pretty and peaceful to do your work[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the wifi didn't work well for me and my friend so we had to use a hotspot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee was good, I got the Rahas signature coffee which is spiced. The pastry's we tired were pretty disappointing, we got a peach mouse that was $10, which was extremely overpriced for size and flavor, would not get this again. As well as an almond croissant which was $7 and also lacked in flavor. They microwaved it so it wasn't even a croissant at that point and it was half cold and half hot. For the price I don't think the food was worth it in any way, I would just stick to coffee. I wish it was redeemed by the service but it unfortunately wasn't. read more

I've been to Raha several times and never had a less than wonderful experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a very cozy vibe when you enter. It's bright but even in winter, it's warm inside and that might be due to the diversity and welcoming nature of Raha.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone comes here. ! If you're a first timer the staff will guide you on choosing your drink- and all are delicious. And the sweets are amazing too! My favorite is cafe muwafar and " bees" - which is a pasture a sweet cheese , warmed and swimming in honey. Great to share. I often come here for meetings and get a pot of Yemeni coffee or tea to share. Everything served on a lonely tray and it's and order at the counter go pick up kind of place. Very laid back. Recently I brought my husband ( he's picky and not too adventurous). He LOVED it as I knew he would. He just had a latte and he tentatively took a bite of the cake, only to happily share half of it. I'm a repeat customer and you will be too. Support local business and give Raha a try. You'll be glad you did. Park across the street too! read more

Very cool local coffee/tea shop. Four of us split two desserts and they were both delicious. Neither was too sweet and went well with our drinks. We all got different drinks and loved them. The inside was very cool and unique. Two small complaints would be the lack of seating and the fact that their windows do not block the sun. Although there were a lot of unique seating options, the place was pretty packed and definitely needed more seating. Also very limited in terms of big tables for groups so beware! My other note is that the shop is located in a very sunny location and the glass windows do nothing to block the sun. So based on your seating, you may have the sun glaring in your face the entire time. read more

I tried this place with friends after watching the step out buffalo's featured video. I had high expectations because the video raved about everything here. However, the place turned out to be just ok for me. They were out of the Dubai chocolate which I was dying to try, so we weren't off to a great start. We ordered 4 pastries, 3 drinks out of which the only memorable item was the bee bites. I found all the pastries too sweet and the Pistachio Frappuccino was sugar overload. I swapped with my friend who got a pistachio latte which was a little more palatable for me. There is no table service so you order at the counter and find a table. The ambiance was very bright with cute tables and couches around the place. Nothing was bad but nothing was impressive to me either. Not sure if I'll ever be back voluntarily but if someone asked me to meet up there, I wouldn't say no. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]First off i'd like to appreciate the aesthetics of this place, very well decorated, clean looking, and smells kind of delicate and perfumy, very well lit too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] me and my mom tried their Iced matcha's, mine was coconut and hers was regular with ferrero cheesecake, some sort of cheese danish, and two of their fancy fruit pasteries. The cheese danish was splendid, very flavorful, warm, and tart and it was by far my mom's favorite thing she tried here. I tried the mango pastry first, very creamy on the inside, full of mango bits, chocolate on the outside, very tasty and very mango heavy in flavor. Next i tried the coconut pastry which had some mango bits on top, chocolate, and some whipped cream like filling, its very subtle and mild and i honestly thought it was pretty decent, lacks some flavor though, i wish it had a more intense coconut flavor like the mango one did. Lastly the matcha, i enjoyed the coconut flavor that accompanied the Matcha, but we asked for both sweetened and still found them to be a little lackluster in terms of how sweet it was, the green color was also kind of muddy. (which if you know a lot about matcha you know high quality matcha is supposed to a vibrant green) The service was good, the staff are patient and accommodating of orders, but they seem to struggle a little bit with english (which isn't a problem but it made it slightly harder to order due to small misunderstandings). [[HIGHLIGHT]]My big thing here was that me and my mom felt a little judged by the other customers, they stared a lot, and made gestures towards us, which dampened the experience with some discomfort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Which has nothing to do with the place itself just something you should be aware of especially if your of latino origin. nontheless, i'd probably come here again to try their other drinks and pasteries. read more

My friend and I had Raha Coffee House on our list for awhile. I've been here twice since then. We front the 1 hour 15 mins just to try it out. I've gotten the pistachio latte with oat milk twice, iced and hot. It is very delicious either way. The bee sting, which is bread with honey all over it. It is so good, reminds me of a bagel bite but better with honey. The atmosphere is really nice, Yemeni music and furniture. The staff is very friendly and good about explaining items on the menu. I highly recommend coming to Raha Coffee House for a unique experience! read more

What a cute little spot that I had completely forgotten was here! I used to go the Chinese restaurant years ago and then vaguely recall seeing something new eventually opened. But I had no idea what a nice coffee shop had opened up. I cannot tell you how excited I am not to have to drive all the way to Lackawanna for a good chai tea. Working through the menu and rave reviews in all of it so far. The atmosphere is also nice. A great spot to bring a book, a laptop, or a date. The staff was very friendly and, this is a little silly, but I really like the takeout cup design. The gold on black is a sleek vibe. There's tons of parking right across the street, which is always a bonus. Overall, super glad I popped "coffee shop" into Yelp idly looking for something new because this place is a great find. Hope you check it out! read more

I was looking for a coffee place other than Tim Hortons and thank you to TikTok someone recommended this coffee shop! This place inside is sooo cute!! Did not check if there were outlets (also don't know if there is wifi) but I would definitely come back to do my work here. I ordered the Raha Signature Iced Coffee with oatmilk, mmmmmmmmmmm!!! If you like a sweet coffee like I do -- this is it!! My friend ordered an Iced Spanish Latte with oatmilk and loved it as well! I would say it was similar to mine just less sweet and without cinnamon. We ordered the Biscoff milk cake which was the perfect portion and light and of course.... delicious ! My friend ended up ordering another one for themselves and one of the cheesecakes (I dont remember which cheesecake but I am sure it was delicious!) The worker was friendly and while he was the only employee -- he was working so calm and chill for it being busy. If you have the chance to stop and try this place out, I would say to do so! read more

New coffee spot on the corner of Amhest and Grant street close to Buffalo State. Been looking forward in visiting this cafe and I must say it did not disappoint! Everything in this place is beautiful. Comfy atmosphere with a very inviting interior. Music not too loud and fair prices. We came in a Saturday noon and there were a few people inside. Very welcoming and kind staffs that are happy to help when you have questions about the drinks and pastries. Haven't tried the pastries yet, but we tried their pistachio latte (iced) and turkish coffee which were both good and stayed for an hour to play uno. Board games and playing cards are also available for you to play. A great place to study, meet up with your friends/family, or just to unwind. Though is this far from us but we can't wait to return and try their other items on the menu board. Highly recommend checking this place out. There's not much parking, so we ended up parking on the plaza across the cafe. Hours of operation were not posted on the entrance but from their website, they were open Mon-Thu: 7am-8pm Fri-Sat: 7am-8pm Sun: 10am-8pm read more

Awesome new coffee shop, love it! Atmosphere is calming. There is a mix of comfortable couches and overstuffed chairs, tables and chairs, and bar-style seating along the windows. There's Arabic music on the speakers and a tv screen showing the playlist. Many of the seats have easy access to power outlets, making this a great spot to bring a laptop and get some work or homework done. The menu is up on the wall, easy to read, and has good descriptions of the options if you are not familiar with them. I had a hard time choosing, they all sound so good - I will definitely be back to try more. There are plenty of unique and unusual flavors that I don't see in average coffee places. There is a beautiful case of desserts to choose from too! The server was friendly and seemed happy to answer my questions about the desserts in the case. My drink took a while to make and yes it's a bit pricy but the flavors in both the drink and cheesecake were perfection so they are really nailing the quality here. Awesome and very welcome addition to this neighborhood! read more
