While everything looked beautiful, it honestly didn't feel worth the price. The tea itself was decent, nothing too memorable, but still enjoyable. I haven't tried their lokma yet, but it looks amazing and is probably what I'd go back for. The staff were very sweet and welcoming, which made the experience better overall. The space is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you plan to dine in. Parking is also a bit limited, so it's something to keep in mind before going.

They're located below the Vertical Rock Climbing & Fitness Center, so it's super convenient for those who have an appointment to stop by before or afterwards. We stopped by for a caffeine fix, and ordered: +an Apple Square - it was stated that this would be heated, but it was served cold +a latte with oat milk - we requested this to be extra hot, and it was more lukewarm +the Spiced Demerara Latte - prepared with brown sugar and cinnamon syrup; this was requested to be extra hot, and it was more lukewarm; the coffee itself was strong, though Not sure if the barista was overwhelmed, but it took quite some time to get our latte - we went up a couple of times, and they stated that it should be coming out soon, but it didn't. The main issue was that there seemed to be a leak from the ceiling; they had the seating area sectioned off, but it reeked of mildew/old dishrag, which was pretty gross and unpleasant, especially if you're trying to enjoy a bite and a drink. Ample parking, but it can be slightly narrow to get in and out. No dice, Basecamp. +lukewarm coffee +cold pastries +unpleasant odors

I give this place a 10/10. I have been here a million times, and Qamaria never fails…read more There are currently two Yemeni coffee houses in the area, but I am very loyal to the Vienna location. Personally just prefer the drinks here, and the customer service is also really good. If you're someone who likes boba or coffee after dinner, I'd highly suggest this place as they have everything from regular coffee/espresso drinks to unique kinds of lattes, and my personal favorite, the Adeni Chai latte. Also there's different types of cakes/desserts that go together perfectly with your drink. Highly suggest the basbousa if you are trying something -- it's perfectly light, yummy, but not too sweet. While it's not super huge, it's still a good size and I often see people in here studying or families gathering to have tea. The ambiance is very welcoming. So overall, I have to rate it as a great cafe. We will obviously be back.

I ordered a simple latte with oat milk, and it was really good. I didn't order the one with spices. Maybe next time! I also asked for it in a mug, which made it extra special. The Lotus Tres Leches cake was a great companion to the coffee, not too sweet. I've also tried the Honey comb cake, and the honey cake, which are not bad at all! I also love how spacious this location is. There's a front and back seating area with the coffee bar in the middle, lots of seats, and the shop is nicely decorated. There's plenty of parking, but it can get tricky during peak hours since it's in a strip mall with lots of restaurants and other shops. Perfect spot to relax, enjoy coffee, and take in the cozy, thoughtfully designed space!

They captured a unique feel by carving up a very interesting, small cafe space out of what they had to work with.

The storefront itself is cute and there's a fair amount of seating. I will say the parking was kind of weird, It's not a super obvious place and we ended up driving right by it. Parked a couple blocks down and walked over, but otherwise you should be able to find a spot no problem. The baristas were super friendly and patient with us while we looked over the menu. My friend got the (Real!) strawberry match and I got the banana cream matcha. Both were super delicious! The strawberry did taste very fresh and real, and the banana was the perfect sweet treat to satisfy my craving. Overall, I will definitely be back and would recommend to anybody in the area.

I've been looking for a strawberry matcha that has a creamy rich texture, with the perfect ratio of strawberry and matcha. I do appreciate the fact that they use real strawberry puree, but it didn't taste balanced to me. My husband got the mocha forest matcha, it was alright. I wasn't a huge fan of either drinks. I also felt the matcha wasn't ceremonial grade. It had that weird Starbucks fishy taste to it. We ordered breakfast as well- the breakfast indeed tasted homemade but not the kind that wowed me. More like okay wonder bread and some protein. Nothing that stood out or tasted unique. I left wishing I had spent the money elsewhere. Overall, I don't live close to this location so I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but if invited I wouldn't be opposed. It's a tiny spot with few seats and a shared small parking lot. It's better for to go orders. Casual ambiance.

FOOD/DRINK: 4/5 SERVICE: 5/5…read more EXPERIENCE: 4/5 Hubby really loves the original Fairfax location since he used to work near it. Once we saw that there was another one, we got excited. We decided to go to get a little snack and coffee to start the day before some errands. I got a vanilla latte, while he got a mocha latte. Both iced. I got almond milk and hubby got oat milk. I enjoyed the blend of coffee and flavor - not either one overpowering each other. I personally like a little more syrup but it wasn't undrinkable. The almond milk was a teeny bit woody. I'll get oat milk next time. The cashier helped us decided on what pastries to get (there wasn't any signage). I ended up getting a strawberry croissant that was so pretty - it even had some gold glitter on top! Perfect for cherry blossom season. It was flaky and not too sweet. Hubby got a cinnamon roll and they warmed it up for it so it was nice and gooey. It was a cute urban feeling cafe with great AC and comfy seating. Parking was a little small but that's to be expected in the area. We'd return if in the Vienna area.

Passion de Amor - zesty and flavorful Spicy Crunchy shrimp roll - Amazing. Fresh, flavorful, delicious. 2nd visit: sol de fuego cocktail - citrusy and refreshing but also watered down.

While the hostess is warm and wonderful, I was not approached once by the bartenders until I'd practically finished eating - the bar was completely empty except for some people on the patio. Perhaps the automatic 20% tip added on to every bill is a recipe for apathy.

Perhaps I will finally try their sweet food options, since I've never really tried them before and they seem to be doing well here.
