    Yemeni date coffee, black coffee

    If you need to sit for many hours and do work or yap with your friends, This is a great spot. The prices are high but the drinks are good. The baristas are attentive and the place is pretty large so there are various seating options. If you are looking for somewhere to eat and get full this is not your place! I don't think I'd come back here unless I needed to really focus on some work.

    #42 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES A new Yemeni coffee shop just opened in New Haven, and it's a great addition to the area. The space is huge with lots of indoor seating, making it an awesome spot to study, work, or catch up with friends. That said, it can get very busy, and during peak times it can be tough to find a seat. I ordered the date palm latte, and it was delicious, especially if you're a fan of dates. It had a really nice, natural sweetness and was one of the more unique drinks I've had in a while. My friend got the strawberry matcha latte, which was also very good. They make the strawberry milk in-house, and you can definitely taste the difference. Overall, all of our drinks were solid, and I'd absolutely come back to try more, especially the Yemeni-style coffees. We also tried a few pastries (cream cheese honeycomb, hot dog, and cheesecake), and unfortunately they were pretty underwhelming. None of them really stood out, which was a bit disappointing compared to how good the drinks were. Overall, this is a great place for coffee, studying, and hanging out. I'd definitely return for the drinks and atmosphere, but I'd probably skip the food next time.

    Arwa is a new Yemeni style coffee shop in New Haven. From their website, it looks like Arwa is a small national chain with fewer than 10 locations in places like Texas, Illinois and California. Look at CT playing with the Big States! LOL Arwa is on the part of Orange Street adjacent to The Loop and the neighboring apartments. The space is large and has dramatic design elements. They have a lot of seating and for a new place, they're already fairly busy. Especially, given that college is on break. There were people visiting and working. In fact, my friend had been there three times this week. Great sign for a new coffee shop. I have had Yemeni coffee one other time. So I am by no means an expert. The menu had a number of options I wasn't familiar with. I'm an iced coffee drinker. There was some initial confusion about what could and couldn't be made iced, which is obviously the type of thing that gets worked out when a new spot opens. I ended up ordering an Iced Pistachio Latte with whole milk. I normally drink coffee black so the creaminess is a new experience. I was initially struck by the lack of pistachio flavor, but the coffee was good nonetheless. There ended up being more pistachio flavor on the bottom. I'm not sure if more experienced Yemeni style coffee drinkers know to stir to distribute the flavor, if the drink is meant to have more flavor at the bottom or if they're still learning the art of making these drinks. In any event, it was reasonably good. And I enjoyed talking with my friend in the roomy environment. 4 Stars

    Loved this spot. We tried the date palm matcha & date palm lattee and both were so good in taste and unique the quality of the coffee was so good. I love the coffee shop too very big and very welcoming, and they had a lot of games to play there too and a prayer rug as well.we will def be back. The service was very attentive as well.

    The location was very pretty and the staff were very friendly. I got a regular iced coffee and baklava and it was good.

    She put up with me and all of my questions surrounding almost every item on the menu before I settled on the Yemeni Latte.

    This was some good coffee!…read more This was our first stop off the train from NYC. We needed a pick me up and energy for that infamous food crawl we were about to get into. So thankful it was in the quiet and quaint neighborhood of New Haven. Such a beautiful area. Very close to all the spots I had bookmarked. Cool coffee shop I gotta say. Spacious and clean. Just the actual vibe alone was relaxing. This is one of those locations where you can actually come sit and not be bothered. Few people inside were working on their laptops, some were just conversing with their friends. The barista was super friendly and worked fast. One thing I noticed and was wowed on was they serve wine as well. I mean how cool is that. Felt like I was at France for a minute, where the cafes serve coffee, tea and qwasonts during the day, and cocktails at night. Very chill. Can't thank them enough for how clean the bathroom was as well. All in all great coffee and service.

    Order a lavender honey latte to go. I didn't have to wait for it or anything so service was good…read morethere. But I couldn't find parking easily and the latte was just alright. Not a lot of favor and no sweet at all which I thought that was interesting. The server did over to add more honey but I opted out because I was in a rush. They seemed business though. A lot of people inside on a winter day doing work. Maybe try a coffee , but they're no Latte Pedaler, at least to me.
