Lovely new cafe! Went in on a Thursday during lunch time and it was busy but still plenty of seating. The space is huge with 10+ tables which is nice. The inside is big with greenery and modern. Love the ambiance. They have great desserts and pastries. I got the caramel milk cake which is similar to a tres leches. Super bomb. My friend got the biscoff cheesecake which was also delicious. They had other kinds of cheesecake such as pistachio and oreo. I like that you're able to see all the kinds of desserts/pastries they offer. For coffee, I got an iced Spanish latte and it was alright. A bit sweet for my liking and the color was very light. Minimal coffee taste so I'll probably get another drink next time as their menus very big. Service was great and workers were friendly. It did take a little bit for our drinks and food to come out so it's more of a spot where you can chill and chat with friends which I love. Definitely give this spot a try! read more

Shibam Coffee - Milk Cake, Iced Spanish Latte, Biscoff Cheesecake, and Chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newark, California

A new Yemeni coffee shop recently opened in Newark, right next to Chipotle. (Don't get me started on Chipotle ). Anyways, let's talk about the coffee shop. When you walk in, the place has a really nice, luxurious feel to it. It's very spacious and decorated nicely. The high ceilings and planter-style countertop are a nice touch and give the place a modern, upscale atmosphere. We ordered the Turkish Coffee, Americano, and Iced Shibam Latte. Overall, the drinks were good. I'm not sure if the employee working the front was just a little rushed handling everything on her own, but my iced drink came out with the wrong level of sweetness. Nothing major, though. I also ordered the spinach and cheese pastry, which was decent and paired nicely with the coffee. They also have a pretty cool promotion going on right now. Spend over $20 and you get entered into a raffle to win a Tesla, which is actually parked outside the shop! Definitely a fun promotion, so take advantage of it while it lasts. I'll definitely be coming back to try some of the other drinks and food options. It's nice seeing these types of businesses becoming more popular, and even better seeing Newark continue to attract small businesses and new opportunities. Overall, a nice addition to the area. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! Thank you! read more

Shibam Coffee is a Yemeni coffee chain from Michigan. opened a month where Campanella Modern Italian Cuisine once was. Small parking lot located behjnd Chipotle and before Mariott's. Difficult to find. Need to follow the numbers. Big luxurious space with plenty of seating and overhead bright lites, beautiful decor. Not busy post lunch. Approached order counter to order Shibam coffee black. She said it doesn't come black, came with milk. Went with the flow. Ordered less milk. Got called to prep station to clarify my order. Seems previous associate ordered Shibam latte for me. With order rectified to Shibam coffee, It came out minutes later. Offerings (Yemen): Yemeni coffee, espressos, flavor shots, Yemeni tea, organic tea, refreshers, kids' drinks, pastries. Sips: Shibam Coffee (7.85) charged for latte -large size, pretty hot. Sipped slowly. Lots of nuanced notes from Yemeni light roast coffee, qishr(coffee husks), cardamon, ginger, cinnamon & cream. Has mild sugary profile. -notice receipt reads Shibam latte (7.85). Wonder what a regular coffee cost? Already left when I checked pricing. 4ish stars Worthy! Service had hiccups, rectified by prep station. Quality: fresh tasty ingredients. Unsure if I was charged correct price. Quantity: plentiful. read more

I stopped by in the afternoon and ordered an iced pistachio latte. Overall, it was pretty good, and the shop was clean and well maintained. It felt similar to other Yemeni coffee shops I've tried, and at this point, the drinks are starting to taste pretty similar to me. If I'm in the area again, I'd come back and try a different coffee. read more

I had seen the construction of Shibam Coffee many months ago, so I'm glad I finally had the chance to stop by and try it! One of the best Yemeni coffee shops, and I'm so happy to have one right here in Newark. The space is beautiful, bright, and spacious, with elegant gold decor, high ceilings, and a very clean and inviting atmosphere. I had the chance to try a few of their drinks, and they were all very good! I don't have a favorite yet since I still have so many more to try. There is an extra charge for oat or almond milk. The drinks and cakes are on the pricier side, but definitely worth trying. The decor is exquisite, and they have a wonderful selection of drinks, breads, and cakes beautifully displayed. Everything looked so delicious! Highly recommend stopping by--beautiful setting, calming vibes, and great coffee. read more

I was looking for a new café to work from and happened to stumble across Shibam Coffee during their grand opening. I've been to a few other Yemeni/Turkish coffee shops before, and I've always been a little skeptical about some of the drinks, but I wanted to give this place a try. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the space itself. The interior is modern, and bright. It definitely feels like a nice place to sit and get some work done. I ordered a Spanish latte with oat milk and planned to stay for a while. Unfortunately, their Wi-Fi was down during my visit, so customers had to use the Wi-Fi from the business next door. My drink took about 10 minutes to come out, which wasn't terrible, but a little longer than I expected given how slow it was. When I received it, I noticed the coffee was very light in color, which made me wonder if it would be on the sweeter side--and it definitely was. It ended up being much sweeter than my preference. I asked for a cup of ice so I could dilute it a bit, and when I poured the latte over the ice, I could actually see quite a bit of condensed milk settled at the bottom of the mug. Overall, I enjoyed working from the café and would consider coming back because the atmosphere is great. That said, I'd love to see the drinks balanced a little more, as they were much sweeter than I expected. If you have a big sweet tooth, you'll probably enjoy them more than I did. read more

Hidden gem alert! Shibam coffee is tucked inside a shopping center (easy parking!), and the interior design is gorgeous. Their menu is huge--lots of coffees, teas, and refreshers. Tried the Shibam Coffee with less sugar (glad I did, standard sweetness would've been an overload) and the Strawberry Mojito, which was delicious! But the absolute star of the show is the cheesecake. The baklava and biscoff flavors are incredible. 100% coming back to try more! read more

We're big fans of other coffee spots with similar menus and were ecstatic when Shibam opened up. We came on a Friday and there was only one person working which made the wait seem longer. Overall, it's good coffee and solid food options. Wife and I have agreed this will be our WFH spot on Friday mornings. read more

Multiple of Yemeni cafes around we have been trying these out. Suggested by family friends we tried it for the first time. One observation is they look really flashy with lot of light and tall ceilings, definitely feels like going to a restaurant in Dubai. We tried adani chai, babyccino and pistachio latte hot and cold both. As well as green tea with rose and jasmine. Babyccino with hazelnut flavor stood out the most. Second was adani chai which tasted very close to masala chai from home. The pistachio latte cold trumped hot one. You have to pick up your order by yourself if you get a pager else they have service robot. You also have to cleanup after yourself. Overall good experience. read more

I just went here for the first time, this morning. As I walked in, I thought this is too nice looking to just be a walk in coffee shop but I was wrong. I looked at the menu to see what looked good and also the display of pastries. Decided on the iced Mocha and fatayir with cheese. I made the mistake of getting no espresso in my iced Mocha and I think it was basically a chocolate milk. I'll be sure to remember that next time. The fatayir was very flavorful and good! The lady at the register was very helpful and helped me with my order. I will try this place again and see what else they have that I may like. read more

Nice ambiance. I can see myself working here on an average day. Staff were nice! My only feedback: the cups are actually too big (20oz for a regular). We ordered an iced americano and it tasted watered down since the cup was so large. Same with my Spanish latte - the milk to espresso ratio was a lot. Maybe I should order a cortado next time. Other than that great overall! read more

Well. The staff is fairly good even though their patron friends can be pretty obnoxious and judgy. Yes. The patrons love to profile me and other people who seem to be in the LGBTQIA community. The food and drinks are good and I'd go back for those. However, I'm not ok with the profiling. Thankfully though, people keep their distance and not bump into me (unlike some other places I know). Anyhow, this place can do better. Thanks. read more

This place is GORGEOUS inside! So much seating, would be a perfect place to study or hangout with friends. Unfortunately the drinks were underwhelming. I wish they made their own syrups. The milk, ice, and sweetener ratio is really off. So much milk, super super sweet, and once they add the espresso the ice almost completely melted. Hopefully they are still working out the kinks because I would love to come back! read more

I was excited to try this Yemeni coffee spot. I ordered an Americano, biscoff milk cake, and a baklava. The milk cake was a little too wet for my taste. The baklava was tasty but my Americano tasted like a massive watered down cup of coffee. The restaurant itself was nice and roomy however there were ants under our table. The staff was friendly. If I return, I will try a different latte and treat. read more

Great to see another Yemeni based coffee house in the area. Their Shibam Royal, a take off on a mango smoothie is really good. Their house cappuccino is very smooth and needs no additional sugar. As-is is great. Clean, inviting atmosphere. Tight on parking. Great selection on desserts. Try their baclava cheesecake. It is the best of both worlds. Staff is excellent. They use a paging system for you to pick up your order. Highly recommended! read more

shiBAM BAM BAM!! overall would come again if i need to lock in and run 1500 ai agents on my mac while sporting an arcteryx jacket and manipulating my situationship with a raver girl. just kidding this is not really the place to be a performative sf tech male. hooray! anyway there are like 503775 of these qamaria copycats popping up all over the bay and i am here for it. the music is always bomb and the lights are always a bit too bright and the cafes are always huge. also the drinks are always mid but the ambiance makes up for it. located near courtyard marriott and may be hard to find! parking limited. just look for gold and a random palm tree (i feel like im describing vegas or paradise or some random street in morocco) service is great! all the baristas are nice. right now their food offerings are limited to mostly sweets, unlike qamaria and moka n co who serve shawarma etc. so at the risk of getting diabetes for the 100th time we got the dragonfruit, the coffee bean dessert, and a cappuccino - the dragonfruit refresher is too sweet and kinda artificial tasting in a good way. kinda like having red40 hot cheeto burrito. 6.5/10 coffee bean thing was overpriced and average, i think it is an ice cream interpretation of tiramisu. not enough coffee flavor and lacking some depth. shibam i would recommend you guys just stick to your yemeni pastries HAHA 7.5/10 cappuccino was HUGE! so the coffee flavor was weak. but i am a coffee snob who thinks capps should be 6-7 oz only with a proper monk head on top... so take my opinion with a grain of salt. 7/10 read more

We asked if it could be changed, and the staff didn't hesitate to change her drink for free. Their customer service was exceptional. Will definitely go back here again! read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND. The decor was the only good thing about this place. There's limited food options. The drinks were average and the attitude of the staff was horrible. They do not have the food in the display labeled and the girl at the counter who took our order had a bad attitude when we had to ask her what food was in there. The servers are rude and behaved as if we were serving them vs the other way around. There's other way better cafes in the area that serve better drinks than this place. read more

This place is brand new so i wanted to give a review! The coffee here is great. The pistachio latte has a rich pistachio flavor, but it's not syrupy or too sweet. It tastes very natural and lets the real flavor of pistachios through. My partner got the shibam latte, and the spices were really tasty too. Also not too sweet or heavy. It's super beautiful inside, and all the pastries looked tasty! The workers were very kind as well. read more

Good coffee good fresh pastries everyone must check it out and even better costumer service especially from the gentleman tonight.

Coffee was good but service is kind of unorganized and chaotic. It took them 25 minutes to make my drink . It was middle of the afternoon, so not a rush hour. They said they would call out the order but lost the ticket. I saw the server staff just standing around talking and if I had not gone to the counter to check , it would have taken yet more time. I hope they train their staff better read more
