We were a group of seven and were able to find a couple of tables to pull together. The staff have always been super nice and helpful. They make excellent tea lattes. I usually go with a London Fog, and they do a very nice job with it, even adding some latte art. If I could make one suggestion, it would be offering a 16 oz option. They currently have 12 oz mugs, and sometimes I'm just looking for a little more. A tiny issue. Thanks!

Caramel Tres Leches Cake: Ethiopia is where wild coffee plants originated on our planet, but Yemen…read moreis where coffee was first harvested, roasted, and brewed back in the 15th century. Coffee is now ubiquitous with daily life in America, which brings me to Qamaria Coffee. Hatem and Munif are two Yemeni entrepreneurs with a passion for Yemeni Coffee and the joint goal of wanting to share it with the world. They founded Qamaria Coffee in 2019 to accomplish this task and in January 2024, they opened a location near Milwaukee in Greenfield, WI. Qamaria offers a variety of dessert options, including a Chocolate Tres Leches, Pistachio Tres Leches, and Caramel Tres Leches cakes. I went with the caramel version, which is described by the cafe as "A decadent caramel treat inspired by tres leches cake, creamy, sweet, and irresistibly smooth". If you've never had Tres Leches Cake, it's a light sponge cake soaked in three types of milk (evaporated, condensed, and whole) that's popular in Latin America. The cake originated in Nicaragua during the 19th century, so on first glance it's not exactly a Yemeni dessert. Doing some research, Middle Eastern variations exist that feature cardamom or rose water and some Qamaria locations do have a Rose Tres Leches. It's fine that the Greenfield location did not have that variety as I honestly would have got the caramel version anyway. My slice was perfectly moist as there was plenty of milk soaked in, but not so much that it made a mess or compromised the structure of the cake. The bottom layer was soft and Tiramisu-like in texture, while the cream on top was rich and thick. Personally, I found the caramel flavor to be mild, but delicious. As it is served chilled, it paired nicely with a hot cup of coffee (which they have a plethora of options to choose from). Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews

The fans were going, the space was clean and the plants all around the cafe really help set the vibe. On top of a pretty wide selection of snacks and treats, they also sell a lot of really cute, Puerto Rican themed merchandise, from cups, to hoodies, painting, stickers, hats and more. The coffee flight was really good and I loved that they had so many sugar free options. We tried the empanadas, quesitos, and the avocado toast, which were all really good. The quesitos were super flaky and tasted yummy they just lacked some of the cream cheese filling that I love. The service was pretty good also. Overall the cafe was definitely worth checking out and i'd love to go back soon! :)

The staff was friendly and the space was very nice to spend a Saturday morning chillaxing. I got the Cubano Sandwich for my meal since I gravitate towards them anywhere they're available. There was plenty of ham and roast beef for a filling meal with nice thick slices of pickles for some added crunch. I love a pressed sandwich, and the compactness and crunch from toasting made it a very enjoyable! I love a tangy Cubano, but sadly didn't get much of a zing from the sauce and wish I got a nice hit of that. Overall a yummy sandwich! For my drink, I got an Iced Churro Latte. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but this was a nice tasty drink. The dulce de leche added lots of sweetness, and cinnamon is always welcome in a drink! The lil churro bits were also fun and cute to finish it off. My lovely lady for her Avocado Toast as she gravitates towards those. The toast was toasted and I think this is the first time we've had a well-seasoned mash that doesn't need extra salt+pepper? Awesome! There was lots of bacon which was yummy for me, but maybe a bit too much for the average joe. Pretty solid avocado toast! M'lady got a Café con Leche for her drink. Hmmm a pretty nice and deep latte, but we're no connoisseurs, so not too much to say on it... still a nice cup of joe to start the day. We also got a Quesito to share since I am a big fan of cheese rolls. This roll was ok compared to ones I've had in the past, but those may have been different variations as well. I thought the syrup on-top was an interesting take from the sugar crystals I am used to. I also found that this roll did not have much of a cheese filling. A nice flaky pastry with lots of cream was what I was expecting, but I found the inside to be almost dry, or at least I didn't see much after I took a bite. A lovely place to start the day with fun drinks and yummy food! They also had some additional apparel items for sale and I think lil specialty markets like that are always awesome and a great way to introduce others into other cultures with specialty snacks and trinkets like that. I wish some of the items fit more into what I was expecting, but still very yummy. I would love to come back to try their other food options since ours were pretty good, and I'd also love to try their other pastry items as well! Still a happy visit and I am looking forward to next time.

We ended up sitting on the main floor at a very large wooden table that would be perfect for playing games with a large group of friends or family. Shawn promptly delivered our drinks and they were delicious. Besides the drinks, the music and ambience were great and we especially liked the gift area with art, t-shirts, books and more.

If you order in they serve the drinks in glassware. I enjoy sitting on the patio which is very inviting and lined with plants. WiFi works outside too. The only downside is in the spring/summer bees seem to hang around and pester you from time to time. It depends on when you stop in but I've noticed the crowd ebbs and flows during weekdays and the inside seating area is small. If you're looking for a quiet place to crank out some work this probably isn't the best spot. I usually overhear many convos while trying to catch up on emails. They also have a designated parking lot which is awesome! Overall it's a great spot to check out and in a cute, more off the beaten path part of Milwaukee too.

Staff are friendly but things may move a little slower due to the care they put into their cocktails. This is definitely reminiscent of island vibes. Wait for a good drink and relax at the bar or outer patio (which has heaters in the winter). Street parking is pretty easy to snag, even around dinner time.

The food and service has always been good. Today, we ordered Chilaquiles with Carnitas added in a verde salsa, Corned Beef Hash, and sides of hashbrowns and 2 pancakes (instead of toast). The Chilaquiles were very good and the over easy eggs were perfect. The carnitas were tender and nicely seasoned. The housemade corned beef cubes were tender and the diced pan fried potatoes had a nice latin seasoning blend. I just wish the hash had diced bell peppers and onions. I also wish the poached eggs I asked for with the corned beef hash were cooked properly. I was expecting the type of poached eggs that are like small balloons waiting to be popped so the egg yolk oozes out over the corned beef hash. These poached eggs were over-cooked and looked un-appetizing, but tasted fine. The hashbrowns were perfect - crispy and tender and properly seasoned! The side of pancakes were fluffy and absorbed the syrup quickly. Overall a good visit. The food was mostly on point, except for the disappointing poached eggs and lack of onions and bell peppers often found in a hash. If I go back, I'll stay away from their benedicts (since poached eggs are not executed correctly, and corned beef hash, and instead stick with the Chilaquiles.
