The aesthetic is 10/10 with the cool ceiling tiles and murals about Yemeni coffee history. It is way better than sitting in a crowded library basement. Service The staff is honestly so sweet. The server was super welcoming and actually took the time to say hi. You don't always get that when places are busy so it felt very community oriented. Coffee and Food I ordered the Heyma Latte and it was gas. The espresso is smooth and not bitter at all. The latte art was actually insane and I almost didn't want to drink it. They also have some wild sounding specialty drinks like a Dubai Latte and a Banana Date Smoothie that I am definitely coming back for when I need a midterm pick me up. Ambiance The marble tables and the lighting make it a great place to post up with a laptop or just hang with friends. It is clean, cozy, and just has a really good energy. Definitely adding this to the regular rotation. If you are tired of the same three coffee shops you need to check this place out.

Inside, the place features a warm, communal, and traditional atmosphere designed to feel like home. Great and beautiful interiors inside, it was like you were stepping into another place not in the USA; I guess one can say the decor is Yemeni-inspired; exquisite and ornate windows, sofas that exude sophistication but also comfort. Coffee was just okay for me.

What a delightful find after a morning of bike ride into Berkeley. We stashed our bikes and…read morequickly became immersed with the variety of colorful, tantalizing pastries beautifully displayed inside the cafe. Eclairs galore! Friendly server quickly got our tea and iced latte out. I also couldn't resist a chocolate dipped scallop shaped cookie which turned out to be two sandwiched together. Very flaky texture and lightly sweetened which was perfect. We saw that they also offered different savory sandwiches and a "French taco" lol. Will have to return and try next time!

My boyfriend and I grabbed a quick lunch here after studying next door at Heyma. The cashier was…read morereally friendly and answered all our questions. We shared the Merguez Sandwich and a Rose Pistachio Turkish Delight. They don't have any indoor seating but have a few tables outside. We waited about 10 minutes for our sandwich. The sandwich was delicious! We got it medium spicy and it was perfect for us. I would have loved it if it had a bit more sauce to it because it was a bit dry but the flavor was great. The turkish delight was so yummy and I thought it was also well priced. I'll happily be back in the future to try more of their foods and pastries! There was also plenty of street parking in the neighborhood.

The nice barista explained that the coffee menu changes frequently. The single origin coffees cost $1 more. She said it gets really busy, but I got there at just the right time to order without waiting in line. Free Wi-Fi with seating inside and out. The plentiful availability allowed me to find a seat on the sidewalk that allowed me to catch a few rays with my latte on a sunny day. Such goodness. Lots of folks there working on their laptops inside. A mom happily nursing and some folks lost in conversation outside. There my soul received the sweet caress of a perfectly balanced rose latte. Great coffee and good vibes in West Berkeley.

We ordered an iced mocha and two of their pastries. I thought the coffee tasted pretty solid, it wasn't too sweet and the pastries was really good. The baristas seemed friendly, there were a lot of regulars that was able to skip the line because the barista knew their orders already (no shade!) There are plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It's super cool that they roast their own beans in-store.

I tried this place a few times. Despite the cute concept it's not great. Coffee is average, but…read morethey only use oat milk which imparts too much flavor. The two guys who work there are a bit snobby and not very friendly. And it's the first of hundreds of coffee bars I've been charged an extra shot for a half caff (which is not an extra shot, it's the usual 2) $7 total plus tip. I'm about to stop tipping, I'm sick of it. Maybe I'll try a pour over or "tasting" someday and give 'em a chance to show their personalities. But I doubt it.

Love their little shop it's a great place to buy housewarming gifts. I've been coming here for a few years and as a nanny, my only gripe is it's digital or card payments only. I know it's common in the Bay Area because of theft, but I've never been able to wrap my head around businesses not taking the national currency- if they took cash I would come in much more often.

I liked the friendliness of the staff and I loved the outdoor space-- it was quiet with a lot of trees. I was able to sit by a fountain and just be present. There's a road nearby but not a lot of cars. And even though it's close to the freeway the sound doesn't travel so it felt tranquil. If only parking were easier, I would come back more often.

Intringed, I sought them out. They're located where Cal Sailing Club is supposed to be on weekends. Saw signs in a parking lot nearby. Saw a line. Got into it.
