Absolutely loved the chai and baklava! Also, really good and peaceful ambience to work. The staff were sweet, friendly, and warmly welcomed us. Would love to visit again.

This place is such a gem. The chai is honestly one of the best I’ve had: rich, perfectly spiced, and not overly sweet. The space is beautiful and cozy, with plenty of seating. The Yemeni inspired decor and warm lighting make it such a welcoming spot to catch up with friends or just relax with a drink. So glad Oakland has this.

Truly a 5 star place on everything! Great space to work/study, read, hang with friends- you name it. Free wifi & outlets, super friendly service, great food/drink options. Ample indoor and outdoor seating, half the room having wooden tables/chairs and half being more comfortable and cushioned. I saw a fair amount of people working on laptops or papers when I came in but also some friends just chatting and lounging together so the space is really set up for both, which is nice. Also great for working if you want to sit down and stay at a place for a while or stay late- it’s open until 9:30pm every day!! In my experience, there were less people as the day crept toward later evening. The interior is beautiful and a whole vibe. I never drink coffee but the iced mohka house latte I got here was super yummy and I’d get it again. I’d also recommend the puffy honey bread with cream cheese (both pictured). Nut allergen warning- there are a lot of nuts, especially in the desserts, but the staff was good about checking and communicating with me around this.

Been here twice in the last week for pot service. First time was during the day on a Saturday. Although busy, we managed to find a table to enjoy our 18 oz Yemeni tea, which was delicious! It was infused with cardamom and nutmeg. We also had the veggie quiche (no pic), a little runny in the center, but the overall taste was very good. The second visit was tonight, a Thursday evening around 7:45p. We ordered the 18 oz Qishir, a coffee husk tea and caffeine free. Quite interesting, dark and on the bitter side. My friend did not like it, so I ended up enjoying it on my own. On both occasions, the gentleman behind the counter was very helpful with all of our questions regarding the drinks and pastries. It gave him great pleasure to ensure our experience was positive! Looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu!!

Insanely high quality adeni / karak tea. And yummy pastries and sweets. Nice peaceful, well designed space to hang out in. Friendly service as well. Flawless execution. If this place were in Manhattan it would have lines to get in.
