I have a thing for trying all the different types of coffee in the world from authentic locations…read moree.g filter coffee in India, Italian espresso in Italy, Turkish coffee (thick with the muddy coffee silt), Nespresso in the Nespresso store in Paris, classic diner coffee, plus all the varieties like pourover, drip, percolator, French press (also too silty for my taste), ristretto, macchiato, cappuccino, latte, flat white, iced, powdered instant from various countries. So when i happened across this Yemeni coffee shop i was intrigued. I got a "pitcher" (i guess they don't serve just a cup?) of the Mofawar (spiced coffee with evaporated milk) and Qishr (sp?) which is spiced coffee made from the coffee bean husks of all things. Beautiful presentation on a tray with tiny espresso size cups and sort of beaker pitchers with the coffee to refill your cups. Mofawar was kind of on the bitter side for my taste which i suppose is inevitable due to the amount of spices - looked like a quarter cup of spice sediment at the bottom of the beaker. I was expecting a flavor mix like chai but could only taste cardamom - one of my least favorite spices unfortunately. So it was not my taste but was an interesting experience at least. The qishr husk drink was actually more like chai tea - also may have been heavily cardamom flavored, and i couldn't taste any coffee element that the husks might have contributed . More of a curiosity to try than anything I'd order again. I also tried various food items - olive cake - bland - baklava - oddly pasty layer combined with larger chunks of nuts - not my favorite- i think it had both pistachios and almonds. - a warm sliced egg and cheese on croissant- this one was truly delicious- i think there might have been some magic mix of spice and sesame seed sprinkled in it. That aside - i don't think the pastries are better than mediocre quality , and the heavy silty nature of Yemen coffee with overpowering cardamom is not for me. Not having had Yemen style coffee anywhere else i have no idea if this is a great example of it at its best or not.

I genuinely don't understand how a place with so much potential can have such unbelievably poor…read morecustomer service. We visited Qawah Valley from California during the FIFA games specifically because they advertised that they would be streaming the matches. When we arrived, we asked if they could put the game on, and the young employee working the cashier (who appeared to be a high school or college student) abruptly told us, "No," with no explanation or effort to help. Instead, we ended up watching the game on our phones despite choosing this place because of their advertised promotion. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of it. When ordering a savory item, I politely asked what type of meat it contained. The same employee responded, "It's meat." Thinking he misunderstood, I clarified by asking whether it was chicken or beef. Instead of answering the question, he repeatedly and condescendingly kept saying, "It's meat." It was such a bizarre and dismissive interaction over a very basic question that any customer has a right to ask. What was worse was that the item turned out to be stale, cold and chewy! Customer service can make or break a business, especially in New York City where people have endless options. If you're going to hire inexperienced employees, then invest the time to properly train them on basic professionalism, courtesy, and product knowledge. They're the face of your business, and your revenue depends on how customers are treated. If they're unable or unwilling to provide even the most basic level of hospitality, then it's worth investing in better hires. It's a shame because Qawah Valley is a beautiful, spacious café in an incredible NYC location. They've invested a ridiculous amount on the real estate of this location but a nice space means very little when it's paired with some of the worst customer service I've experienced. I won't be returning, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming café experience.

My first visit to sit inside and order something…read more Yes, definitely visit here for a delicious beverage. And nice various food offerings; It will be worth your time. INDICO COFFEE CO, located on First Ave at the southeast corner of East 59th Street. You can stop here before you do your shopping at Trader Joe's. It's across the street on East 59th St. I HAD ONE OF THE MOST DELIGHTFUL and DELICIOUS CHAI LATTE. I ordered the "regular " size, and I requested almond milk. My regular size chai latte was $5.99, plus an additional charge of $.85, for my requested almond milk. I understand that. Things are up in price pretty much all around. It is May 2026. SBUX used to charge extra for almond milk, but now they don't. Maybe eventually that will happen here. But, either way, this chai latte was made fresh, right before everyone's eyes. They have a very large, professional coffee steaming thing machine-see my photos. Fantastic beverage!! Each beverage is made once you order. The huge shiny professional coffee-steamer machine reminds me of Italy, and places that take their time to make you one of the BEST BEVERAGES EVER!! So, my fellow New Yorkers, don't be in a hurry too much when you order your beverage. IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!! The woman at the front counter was very kind and it made my visit a pleasure. See my photos of the menus. And interior/exterior shots. After I tasted my Yummy CHAI LATTE, and discovered how great it was, I decided to take a chance and order the fresh pastry "CHEESE POCKET". It is round, and apparently calling my name LOL. I had to try it, Partly for educational purposes, as well as sustenance. I asked about the type of cheese inside, silently wondering if it was sweet or savory, and secretly hoping it would be close to the cheese danishes made in the 1960's. So I am not talking about cream cheese, no sir, I'm talking about the yummy sweet cheese that was more in the farmer and cottage cheese family; that's the closest to a description of what I was hoping for. Baby Boomers who grew up in the NYC area may recall. Well, this FRESH PASTRY was delicious. It was like a combination of the type of cheese I was hoping for, along with a tiny, smooth blend of cream cheese. A well mixed, smooth, yummy light cheese on the bottom inside this fresh, round, light-as-air pastry. It was $5.99. AND I TOTALLY ENJOYED IT!! I really like it here. I love the deep, dark, blue velveteen comfortable sofas, as if you are in someone's home. There are also round tables and blue velveteen chairs at the tables. There is self-serve cold water with slices of lemon in a nice size clear container with an open/close spout. Plastic clear cups and napkins nearby. This is a lovely place. It's spacious, too. Please be patient once you place your order. You are not the only one here. The service is NOT slow, it is service aiming to be the best in making your beverage as delicious as can be. Greatness takes time!! People are working hard to provide the best to you. You can see it . Be patient. Be kind to yourself, and allow yourself the luxury of time, okay? Enjoy!! Cool place, and I look forward to trying some of the other beverages and food, too. I see some creative matcha combinations. This is a lovely place. Treasure it and enjoy it.

Plenty of faux and real flowers (orchids). It has a nice atmosphere for a little shop. I came around 8:30am. You can dine in or take out. However, dining in they don't give you real plates or cutlery (it's paper plates or plastic utensils). The only was a china mug with cute flowers on it. For dining in, you order at the front and then pick up and take to your table. The gentleman at the front was nice enough ... but service didn't feel as warm as I've heard from other reviewers. For example, I asked if he could tell me if they do any tea service for small groups, but he didn't answer my question. They have Fresh pastries in the morning including a well-balanced spinach feta pie, lightly sweetened eclair (it didn't have the pistachio crumbs on top though). I wanted a vanilla eclair with the cute flower petals but they didn't have it available. I don't think I detected much of the lavender in my latte (they used syrup). I think I like the butterfly pea flower tea instead as it has the lightness I needed.
