Bab Al-Yemen Cafe

Perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon.Atmosphere is welcoming, staff is engaged and helpful.Sit, sip and enjoy.Perfect place to catch your breath and enjoy the moment.

Very peaceful setting! The music is the cherry on top, with its soothing strums. This is somewhere you could read without being overstimulated by all the coffee making sounds you'd find at a regular coffee shop. Pretty sure you could only hang out for an hour, according to the owner who said that to a young student sitting behind me. I think the owner just said that because he was annoyed that the guy had not allowed another customer to sit near him since he had a "friend coming arriving soon." Anyways, coffee was BOMBBB. BF's drink had cardamom and cinnamon and left such an earthy, yet sweet, and fresh taste in our mouths - interesting combination! He even bought a bag of it (he loves coffee). The Mafawaar was delicious, too. Get the honeycomb!!! So fluffy, with light flavors (cream cheese, sesame seeds, HONEY) that work so well together, and it's warm

Employee/Owner is homophobic but the food is good.My girlfriend and I ordered the honeycomb, coconut cake, and a medium kettle of coffee. With tip, it came out to just over $32. We sat in the corner and worked quietly for about 45 minutes (I don't remember exactly how long). My girlfriend kissed me on the forehead, and the man behind the counter noticed and then glanced at our hands joined together under the table. He told us, "This is a family location, please control your emotions." We were caught off guard and confused, and then he repeated himself. We packed up our belongings, and my girlfriend shouted, "We'll go be gay somewhere else," as we exited. He responded, "Ok, thank you," and then we went to The Alchemist in Tower.We were gonna buy some beans, too. Shame.Update with response from owner: no one is allowed to kiss, apparently

I absolutely loved this place, but I just went in right now and the guy (employee) was really rude. He yelled at my mom to not grab from the pastries. Then when he gave us our drinks, my husband had asked if we were staying or leaving and the guy said, "I'm closing in a few minutes if you could leave." We were already leaving, so there really was no need for that. Plus, the only reason we came here was because it says they close at 9pm. To make matters worse, my usual was so sweet, which is so uncommon. I hate to say it, but I don't think I'll be going back.Plus, I left this out in my first review, because I didn't want this to make people not want to go- their shop is always so musty each time we go.

Food and service is wonderful!The people are friendly and coffee is definitely delicious. You must come to taste their food as well. I highly recommend this place

I stopped by this cafe for my morning coffee while in the area, and decided to try the Yemen latte, which I had high expectations for. I ordered it iced with less sweetness, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Unfortunately, when I got my drink, it turned out to be much sweeter than I had hoped. The sugar level was a bit overwhelming, and I could barely taste the coffee. This spot might be perfect for those who love sweeter drinks, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

Came here to get some work done for finals week and I got this honeycomb cheese bread with some sort of sweet syrup on top. It is truly delectable and just melts in your mouth. Immediately when I walked in, the smell of coffee hit me and I almost impulsively ordered one, especially after reading the reviews about the coffee here. However, I am not a huge coffee drinker (no outside drinks or food btw). I appreciated the quick service and that he left me alone while I was working. He did check up on me once to see how I was doing.

Bab Al-Yemen will always be such a pleasure to go to. It has a very calm atmosphere with beautiful decorations and lots of warm colors that just make you feel very at ease.I love coming here to do some studying, and obviously for the honeycomb bread as well. They heat it up for you and the portion is big enough for two people (in my opinion).The staff is also nice and works quickly, which makes the overall experience very pleasant and tranquil. Overall a 10/10.

The entire vibe of Bab Al-Yemen Cafe is welcoming and comforting. When I walked into the cafe, I was struck by the sense of community. Each table was occupied by a group of patrons engaged in lively conversation. It's such a lovely low-key place to hang out with people. I got the iced Aden (black tea latte) and love the addition of cardamon. I'm a fan! I will definitely return to try out their other drinks and try their food.

Great service and very knowledgeable about what they have in each item. Overall good atmosphere and the coconut and date pastries paired so well with the coffee. Would definitely come back again!
