Yemeni Coffee Spots NYC

Qahwah House is the West Village pick for classic Yemeni coffee culture: cardamom coffee, qishr, adeni chai, milk cake, and a cafe setting built around lingering. Save this one when you want a Manhattan stop that still feels rooted in Yemen's coffee story.

Moka & Co brings Yemeni coffee to Astoria's Steinway corridor with traditional drinks, signature lattes, refreshers, pastries, and a late-night cafe feel. This is the easy Queens save when you want something sweeter and more social than a standard coffee run.

Matari Coffee Co is a strong Bay Ridge pick for anyone who wants to explore beyond one signature latte. The menu leans into Yemeni coffee styles like San'ani, Mofawar, Rada'ey, Jubani, Qishr, Adeni chai, and Matari tea, making it one of the better saves for trying the range of Yemeni coffee and tea in one place.

Qahwah Valley gives the guide another Manhattan option, with Yemeni coffee, tea, and a calmer neighborhood-cafe feel near First Avenue. Save it for a lower-key cup when you want the flavor profile without the bigger chain energy.

Haraz Coffee House is the SoHo stop for traditional Yemeni drinks and dessert-case browsing. The menu covers Harazi Mufawar, Sana'ani coffee, Jubani, Qishr, Adeni chai, pistachio lattes, milk cake, baklava, Dubai chocolate, and plenty of pastries, so it works as both a coffee stop and a sweets stop.

Yemen Cafe & Restaurant is different from the cafe-heavy picks in this guide. Save it when you want Yemeni food first, with coffee or tea as part of a fuller meal. It adds Staten Island coverage and keeps the guide from being only Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens cafes.

Yafa Cafe is one of the most complete stops in the guide: Yemeni coffee, breakfast, lunch, pastries, and a cafe setup people actually use as a hangout. Save it for Sunset Park when you want more than a quick drink, especially if you are pairing coffee with food.
