Delah Coffee

This is a very cute coffee spot but it was definitely crowded and busy.I got the matcha tea latte and the rose milk cake. The rose cake was so fragrant and reminded me of a tres leche cake with the taste of a rose but don't worry it was not over powering. The matcha latte was also mixed well and I really enjoyed it.

I've been to the one in the SOMA, and simply liked the lotus cheesecake. Still my favorite. We tried the pistachio cheesecake too, which was good and not sweet. I usually order the Yemeni latte, which was good, but underwhelming. The place is kind of small, with some fun seating. Staff aren't really welcoming and did not call out the order when completed. Drinks and items just sat there.

I really want to like this place. It's a sweet spot with amazing Turkish delights (which highly recommend the variety) but every time I go there are full tables of people on laptops - no one eating or drinking from the cafe itself (or at least the drink/food is long gone) so there's no where to sit for a minute to drink/eat with a friend. There have now been 2 times I've gone in a single day (mid morning and mid afternoon) only to find the same people occupying tables with laptops (4 hours apart is a long time to just sit at a cafe shop and hog limited space) if they start limiting laptop use it would make it a better ambiance. In terms of drinks- cold drinks have all been amazing. I tried the rose latte this last time and it was disgusting. literally not a hint of rose it was just burnt coffee (it was decaf) the chai- amazing! All in all a mixed bag if you're looking for a place to sit for hours on end and work on stuff - this seems like a good spot. If you're planning on just meeting someone for coffee/a short visit- look elsewhere.

Cute Yemeni Cafe. Warm & iced teas, Turkish coffee was so good and the rose milk cake was simply Yum!!! Our other favorites are the Saffron Milk Cake & the Rose Latte Macchiato.Everything here is so good. The savories are delicious as well. You order at the front and take your items to your table. Service at the front is quick. Definitely coming back here for more!!

Delah is a coffee spot nestled in the heart of Oakland near the 19th Street BART station, walkable. They have individual servings of coffee and pots/carafes served on beautiful trays with sugar, tea light candles and a cup. Visually very appealing to the eye. I paired my carafe of Delah Mofowar, a blend of medium roast coffee, cardamom and cream, with a lotus cake and a chicken meat pie. The coffee was delicious, sugar on the side so you can adjust to your individual tastes but the coffee spoke for itself. I had the lotus cake which is very reminiscent of a tres leches cake but with less sugar, hints of spices and the lotus were subtle but noticeable, the chicken meat pie was okay, nothing to scream about and fell apart with every bite, it was similar to a minced meat with seasoning. The decor is absolutely beautiful, large paintings on the walls of hues of cream, browns and blacks with gold accent. An embossed ceiling in black, an array of various lamps, areas that had simple tables and an area with a large u shaped wall with pillows, fur, small tables for the coffee, decorative ethnic pieces in various places. The serving tray and coffee ensemble was glass and a bronze. Service was great. It's a walk up ordering, no table service but plenty of seating while you wait. Service was efficient and polite. Having never been there and not familiar with all of the foods, gentleman at counter was patient and kind in answering my questions.All in all an experience to be had, visually so pretty, service was great. Coffee was very good. 4, 4.5 if I could because I felt the food choices need some work in taste and presentation. While lotus cake was given to me on a plate the chicken meat pie was a noisy paper bag and probably the last thing patrons relaxing/working want to hear.

Yemeni coffee shop with variety of drinks and desserts. On the pricier side, but appreciate the free WiFi and tables+ Yemeni Latte ($6.75): cinnamon and cardamom latte, liked that there wasn't sweetener but overall just ok (7/10)+ Pistachio Latte ($7.85): very expensive but was the best pistachio latte I've had (8/10)

Delicious drinks and yummy treats! The pistachio latte is one of their signatures for good reason. If you like your coffee on the sweeter side, I'd recommend this.The milk cake was light, moist, and great flavor. We also tried the pistachio milk cake which was yummy too.

Every time I'm in Oakland I make it a point to stop by. So good! Thud time I bought a bff of chai to try to make it at home.

Cute little coffee shop that is also a great place to work in. I ordered their rose coffee (iced) which had a delightful taste and their baklava (pastry) -- a memorable treat. The cashier was friendly and welcoming. I took my stuff to go but definitely will be checking out more items next time. Would love to come back whenever I'm around!

A Beautiful coffee shop.I had the jubani and it doesn't come with milk but I asked for it with milk. The coffee was piping hot. I had to wait a good while before it was safe to sip. I could smell and taste the cardamom, ginger and cinnamon. The pistachio milk cake was nothing like I've had before. It tastes like a pistachio tres leches cake. The bitterness of my coffee really mellowed out the sweetness of the cake.This was my first time getting Arabic coffee, I didn't know it would come piping hot so it wasn't the easiest to drink. I would try their chai or Yemeni latte next time.
