The experience here was truly excellent. The coffee tastes well-balanced and smooth, not overly sharp or bitter. I had the pistachio latte which was very well-done and not super sweet either. Didn't taste artificial or "syrup-y" as some specialty latte's tend to be. Wayyy way better than what I've had at the various Yemeni coffee shops back home. Also the interior design is beautiful and great to work from or just hang out in for a few hours. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

-purchased their candle $25, Ibb. New favorite. Arabesque with a hint of floral -sand dune latte was so tasty, strong notes of cardamom and honey -honeycomb bread is my favorite in the area, milk buns saturated in honey -the coffee shop is very clean, lots of seating. They're a little slow at the register, but otherwise really good service Bonus, you know a shop is good when your drink still tastes amazing even with almond milk. read more

Arwa Yemeni Coffee - Sand dune latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Richmond, Texas

Pistachio latte - 9/10 - 50% sweet - Good balance of strong and sweet for me with a good amount of pistachio flavor Yemeni latte - 9/10 - 50% sweet - I liked the honey and cardamom combo, more on the bitter side since it was half sweet Biscoff latte - 7/10 - 50% sweet - Probably would be better if i got full sweet for this because it lacked biscoff flavor Adeni chai - 6/10 - 50% sweet - A bit watered down, i would personally prefer it stronger Pistachio milk cake - 9/10 - Melted in my mouth, so moist and lightly sweet Knafeh cheesecake - 9/10 - Loved this, the crunchy kanafeh with the soft/creamy cheesecake was Potato samosa - 9/10 - Good and fresh for a samosa Chicken puff pastry - 10/10 - Chicken was so flavorful, pastry was crispy Another day, another Yemeni spot in town Arwa is having their GRAND opening on Feb 15! The inside of this spot was so aesthetic and great to do work at. Overall one of the better Yemeni cafes in town but just think they need to improve their chai. Would definitely go back to try their other specialty coffees and pastries read more

Went on a Sunday evening and place was a a bit empty. The decor was beautifully done with neutral shades. I ordered strawberry matcha with almond milk and it was sweeter than expected but still tasted good. The Yemeni Latte was smooth and not too sweet. A bit over priced but overall a good visit. Like if this helps. Thank you! read more

It's beautiful, it's clean, but that's the only good thing it has going for them. Overpriced drinks and terrible service. When I came in, there was no one at the counter and I stood there awkwardly questioning if the store was even open. When people did come to the front, they didn't greet me or say anything. I asked the person serving me "What is the most popular iced refresher?" He said Dragon's Blood. I asked what was in it. He couldn't answer that question for me. He asked me if I knew what the specific fruit or berry or whatever was, and unfortunately, he was talking so low I couldn't hear what he was even saying. I asked him if he could tell me the flavor profile. If it was creamy, fruity, and he couldn't tell me that either. He had to ask his coworker what it tasted like and she just told me it tasted like mixed Berry. I got the drink and it was not mixed berry flavor whatsoever. It was an overpowering sweet candy flavor in this dark drink. It literally tasted like I was just drinking syrup, or drinking candy. I'm frustrated that it was recommended to me and I feel like it was a completely inaccurate description of what it actually was. For $7.50 I would expect to enjoy my drink, but unfortunately, I was not only disappointed but lost eight dollars in the process. When I got my drink I said thank you and the person serving me did not even respond to me. I have no intention of coming back here. read more

Absolutely horrendous customer service! We were not greeted as we walked in and the girl working the front literally stared at us and didn't even ask what we wanted to order. Will never be back unless you want horrible service and stale desserts. read more

One of the nicest Yemeni coffee shops I've been to. That flight sampler with these yummy sweets definitely made my day as well as the Hot Yemeni Latte, the puff pastry stuffed with beef, and that blueberry mousse. Staff very friendly, definitely recommend this spot to anyone!!! read more

Ambiance is nice, decor is great, service is also good, but when it comes to food and drinks, definitely lacking and has room for improvement. Coffee drinks tasted to water down with a hint of over roasted coffee. Adeni tea is good but could be better. Don't get the cinnamon roll if you want real cinnamon, it's just a bread with pistachio cream bought from the store. Cheese cake was dry but not bad. The lime viral cake was ok too. read more

We live in Aliana and decided to try out this new Yemeni coffee location that opened up nearby. We've been a huge fan of the Arabian/yemeni coffee shops in the Richmond, Katy and Sugarland region so it was exciting to see a new addition especially in the Aliana area. Presentation and interior design is on point , well made, well lit and the colors and design is really appealing. We ordered our food and drinks, service was courteous and they explained things well when we had questions about the food and they had asked us about allergies, etc which was good. One thing that was lacking I found in this area is the lack of napkins however there were paper towels as a substitute , now this may be in regards to them being in their soft opening but I still feel like something like paper napkins should be a given even in a soft opening. However the food is the most important aspect of a food/drink location and this is where Arwa unfortunately is lacking at least in comparison to other places similar to it. We had the following -1 Chicken puff pastry -1 chicken and Jalapeño pizza -1 honeycomb -1 dragon blood refresher -1 Yemeni latte (hot) -1 sand dune latte (hot) Chicken puff pastry wise was okay , like any other location similar to this shop but compared to an Indian grocery chain especially in Missouri or Stafford, the price was a bit higher than those locations. The chicken and jalapeño pizza was okay as well however for the price it was, seemed a bit high for the portion size. The honeycomb was in my opinion the one that shocked me the most, I love the honeycomb and have gotten it from places such as Qamaria and Haraz , the price to portion size was on point at those places but unfortunately in Arwa it was like half the size for similar price. Both of the Lattes, we ordered hot but came out as lukewarm and close to the cool side which was disappointing. Looks are one thing but if it's not made the way we requested, it loses its value. The Dragon Blood refresher was great , had no issues with it. It had a great taste and look to it. All of the mistakes such as the lack of napkins and serving hot as cold may be due to beginner's mistake but the pricing and portion size of some of the food items was disappointing. Hopefully they make changes to improve as other places have done better. read more
