    Pistachio cheesecake
    Emily L.

    Shibam Coffee is easily my favorite late-night cafe in the valley, serving shareable kettles of Yemeni coffee all the way through midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. The drink that keeps me coming back is the Mufawar, which is a creamy cardamom coffee -- not super strong but perfect for an after-dark hangout. It's also become a (delicious) habit of mine to grab a pastry each time I visit. The pistachio cheesecake is so simple and affordable, yet tasty and topped with real chopped pistachios. They also have well-spiced samosas, baklava, Dubai chocolate cakes, and more. There are only about five dedicated spots in the back, which gets filled quickly at night, but you can usually snag street parking if you arrive before 8pm or so. Shibam has a good amount of seating for a fairly small space -- and they once even brought out an extra table -- so don't let the busyness deter you!

    Super cute Yemeni coffee shop with some unique flavors. The service was fast and friendly. I got an iced Yemeni Date latte and it was really good. I really like dates and I do wish the date flavor was a little stronger, this is probably not a shared preference though. The coffee shop was cute and cozy with some tables but still limited seating. When I went all the tables and seats were full. The parking was not fun. There is street parking, but I have noticed that it is typically full. There are 2 Shibam Coffee owned parking spots next to the parking garage behind the shop. I had to drive around twice until I was able to park. I would more recommend this shop if you are walking distance or okay with taking the streetcar, just so you can avoid dealing with parking. Overall it was great coffee and ai recommend everyone try it atleast once.

    Really good coffee! I was here for a short visit and I was pleased with my experience. I'd say a new go to spot whenever I'm in the area. Highly recommend!

    Beef sambusa and Shibam latte

    After visiting Qamaria Coffee in Rancho Cucamonga over Thanksgiving weekend, I knew I had to find a Yemeni coffee spot near me. Well, close to me. I drove from Glendale to Tempe on Sunday morning, just for this coffee experience! I was so happy to find dedicated parking (turn into the parking structure at the address) and Shibam's entrance is just steps away! The service was great and it was plenty of seating available, even though it's a small place inside. I appreciated the fast, friendly service. I chose the Shibam latte (gotta go for the namesake for the 1st visit) and a beef sambusa! The latte was beautifully delicious and the sambusa was flaky and so flavorful! I am gonna add to my order and get the potato sambusa next time! I loved the tactile experience of grabbing the cup of coffee, balancing the filled-to-the-rim cup of coffee and guiding the cup to my lips! Just delightful! I will definitely be back and next time bring friends!

    Such a wonderful spot! The coffee was absolutely stellar. We ordered a small size Kettle serving of the Mufawar and it was perfect for 3. I love that you can really taste the spices in the coffee and the presentation was stunning. It's on the smaller side in there since it's located in the heart of Tempe where all the dorms are but they have wifi which is also convenient for getting a little work done. The staff is super warm and helpful if you aren't sure what to pick. Parking is rather small but I'm sure you can also find parking in the surrounding area. I am still dreaming of this coffee, I will definitely be returning. Hoping they continue to grow and expand because we need more Yemeni coffee experiences!

    A very enthusiastic 5 stars for this beautiful Yemeni coffee shop! The decor is striking and inviting. Love the traditional music, and it's played at a very reasonable level where you can comfortably come here and study if you wish to do so. Service was very friendly and attentive. The menu has Middle-Eastern treats, tea and coffee (sustainably sourced!) If you're sensitive to caffeine, they sadly do not have decaf coffee options but they will have smoothies and decaf teas for you. Metered parking outside which can be tricky sometimes, though we had no problem finding a spot right in front of the building on a Saturday afternoon.

    Drink: I got the Shibam coffee and it was delicious Service: everyone was kind Ambiance: such a beautiful and unique coffee shop. Perfect way to embrace different parts of the world Parking: they have parking in the apartment complex but the shop is facing Apache Blvd

    I was in Tempe to explore some coffee shop and stopped by this one. First, the aesthetics are really cute and I enjoyed their pumpkin spice mocha latte. Given it's around ASU, it will probably be busy around exam times, so it may be easier to go in the mornings. Other than that, I'll come back here.

    Shibam latte

    Amazing! Love it! So good. The barista was so nice. The decor is really pretty too. Drinks were delicious!! My friend got the Moroccan mint tea that was well balanced. I had the shibam latte with oatmilk and loved it! Will be back.

    One of my favorite cafes in AZ. It's a small locally owned shop and the owner is really nice. The Adeni tea here is amazing! This place is usually packed and hardly any space to sit but definitely worth trying.

    Located below a hotel building it might be hard to see but theres decent street parking and designated parking in the lot inside the building. The lady that took my order was very kind and pleasant. This coffee really made my day it was and iced turkish coffee with milk and cardamom and lightly sweetened. Heaven! I wish California had more places like this. The decor and ambiance is also very nice and fitting.

    Nice coffee shop, they have authentic incense. The coffee shop is in an eastern style, they have plenty space to study in, WiFi. Tasty pasties and Dubai chocolate bars.

    Yemeni coffee
    Monideepa C.

    Just visited this place and it was an unique experience. The aroma of freshly brewed yemeni coffee fills the air as soon as we walk in. Their qishr (spiced coffee although I am not a big fan) and Mofawar ( creamy yemeni latte) are must try. The quick bites are equally good , flaky Malawah bread with honey and cream was yum and subtle. Adeni Shai is more of like our Indian Masala chai which is good and comforting.. Those who doesnt like spices in coffee can try Pistachio Latte, which I am gonna try during my next visit. They have their dedicated parking area.

    Shibam latte, organic date and hojicha. Forgot to take a pic of my pistachio latte...

The food came really quickly and my order was actually 100% correct which is amazing! I ordered the sweet crêpe of Nutella and banana, and it was the best thing I've ever eaten! Also one of my favorite foods! I also got the BLT with avocado and it was so so so so good! I was really impressed with the fact that I got everything right it was delivered quickly and the food was actually amazing even on takeout. I highly recommend checking this place out. It was so so so good. I'm not sure about the ambience of this place because I had to be delivered, but I would probably check it out in their actual location because it was such a great experience

Sweet Desert Cafe was very close to where we were staying and we placed an order online because we didn't know if it was going to be busy since it was a Sunday morning. We ordered the breakfast burrito, veggie burrito, chilaquiles, and churro waffle. This place has the best freaking chilaquiles!! Super crispy chips with the runny eggs! It's crazy how simple yet with different components made something so tasty!! Definitely a place to check out! The burrito, can't go wrong with any kind of breakfast burrito, they were huge! The churro waffle was also delicious, crispy with the right sweetness!

I ordered the Chicken and Bubble Waffle, and added an Iced Horchata Latte. It took at least a good 5-7 minutes before I got my food, it was hot and fresh. And the savory chicken with sweet waffle was perfectly balanced. This was my first time having bubble waffles, and they were yummy. They were 'churro' style and had a very light cinnamon and sugar flavor. The chicken was a really good portion, hot and crispy. And there is a side of fried crispy chicken skin, ohhhhh so salty - so good! While they maybe be considered more of a sweet shop with their churro, ice cream, and boba offerings, they have a pretty good savory food menu. The staff was super nice, and I'm definitely going to come back here!! Thank you Churro Nest and Yelp! For this experience. I rarely ever go to Tempe Marketplace, so I dont know if I would have found this place otherwise! It's located across from Forever 21, and next door to piercing shop Rowan.

    Churros: because life needs more magic wands made of dough and sugar!…read more As someone whose sweet tooth is on the smaller side, I like that this place has some savory options. It allows me to enjoy a snack with my friends who are all about that sugar rush lifestyle. I do recommend the breakfast bites for a sweet option. The churros are cut smaller, and you get a mountain of whipped cream and fresh fruit to dip you churros in. It's like the chips and guacamole of in the churro world. The churro-crusted churro-style Hong Kong egg waffles are a must. They drizzle a nice chipotle syrup on top, and they even give you fried chicken skin to munch on. The chicken loco moco is also good, although I suggest asking for more gravy. I'm a gravy fiend, though, so if you're about moderation, it's probably sufficient for you. Milk teas and coffee are good here, but I would pass on the syrupy fruit drinks. This place also offers adorable egg cups, so if you're a sucker for a cute Instagram-worthy beverage, this place does a good job. I like it here! I hope you like it here too. The place is a bit warm, though, so be warned. Bring a hair tie!
