I love this place so much! Shout out to my neighbor for always taking me with her to try new coffee spots. Thankfully it's nearby, I go so often. And unfortunately I go so often lol but whatever take my money!! I'm addicted to the biscoff latte and omg the milk cakes. 100/100. Super cute place. Friendly staff. I did realize there's not a phone number to call only because I want to know what holidays they're closed because I want a coffee right now :,) read more

This place is so gorgeous and has such a cute and chill vibe. It has nice lighting and pretty green and gold furniture and decorations. The real flowers and green couches made it feel so comfortable and aesthetic. My girlfriend and I got the Biscoff latte and a vanilla matcha with strawberry cold foam, both with oat milk. They're both gorgeous and absolutely delicious. The staff was also really sweet! :) Overall worth the stop, I will definitely be coming back. read more

Stopped in here with a friend the other morning since I'd seen an article in the Rolando newsletter (put out by local realtor Doug Lister who always does great things for the Rolando community). The shop is beautifully decorated and has lots of seating. It was pretty quiet when we arrived, but they were watching the World Cup games on a big TV towards the back where orders are placed. We were greeted warmly and we placed our order. My friend had a basic latte and I tried the date latte. Both were really good, and I really enjoyed the earthy sweetness the date syrup gave to mine. Before leaving I used the restroom which is also beautifully tiled and appointed to pair nicely with the main area. Will definitely return again, and I hope their business does very well! read more

My daughter and I want to try new cafe so we went to Barakah. The place is cute and clean. They have one person working and she's wonderful. She's so friendly and fast. They have good amount of customer enjoying some drinks and treat. The potato samosa is soooooo good! I bought 1 and had to come back to buy the last 2. Sorry for the customer that comes in after.. but it was so good! The sauce is a bit spicy but pair perfectly with the samosa. My matcha is delicious my daughter got the matcha breeze and that's so delicious. I want to try the pistachio cake but was full from the samosa, lol . But will definitely come back to try the cake and more drinks. read more

Yelp brought me to this cute and cozy and super clean coffee shop when I was on my way to interpret around the area. I love how they put so much effort in having fresh flowers at every table, so much appreciated. Also the walls with that nice 'morocan tiles' pattern is so lovely. Ample space and with a big TV to follow sports if you want to. Capuccino was perfect and I didn't try pastries this time but everything looked fresh and delicious. read more

I had driven by this spot a few times and noticed the new coffee shop had opened, so I decided to stop in and give it a try. It's located in a shopping plaza that's not the most attractive area, right next to Planet Fitness, Wei Wei, and a few other businesses. On the plus side, there is plenty of parking available. I visited on a weekday morning hoping to get some work done. My first impression was positive--the space felt bright, clean, and welcoming. There are three large tables inside that would be great for working, but they were all occupied when I arrived. Fortunately, there was still seating available along the bar counter. The atmosphere was very quiet. There was a large flat-screen TV in the corner, which felt a little unusual for a coffee shop, but it was playing soccer with the volume barely audible. There wasn't any background music, so it ended up being a nice, peaceful place to work. The barista greeted me as soon as I walked up to the counter, and I ordered their date latte made with house-made date syrup. The coffee itself was decent. I enjoyed the flavor of the date syrup--it added a subtle sweetness without being overpowering. My only complaint was the foam texture. It was quite airy and bubbly rather than smooth and creamy, which wasn't my favorite. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd be open to stopping by again if I'm in the area, especially to try one of their cold coffee drinks. That said, I did find the prices a bit on the high side considering the location. read more

A new independently owned coffee shop has opened in the Rolando Plaza off University Ave. Barakah Coffee House has set up a quaint space with large comfy lounge chairs as well as tables for hanging out to do work. The plaza lot had plenty open parking spaces so that wasn't a concern. The service counter and menu screen were located in the back right corner of the suite. Coffee, tea, lattes, refreshers, and specials made up the drink categories. Baked goods and sambusas were the available food choices. I had some time to kill so I picked a Mango Lemonade Refresher and two Sambusas, beef and chicken. The drink was 16 oz with light ice and had a mild mango flavor. The two pastries were triangular shaped and filled with the respective minced meat. The sambusas weren't as large as you would find at an Indian cuisine restaurant, however they were also not as pricey. The ambiance and layout were much more aligned with what I like to see at a coffee house. Many of the shops nowadays have a cold, industrial feel to them with minimal decor. That wasn't the case with Barakah Coffee House which was why I awarded a four star rating for my recent visit. read more

What do you say? You have something cookie butter? YES PLEASE. Sign me up. If you didn't guess it, I got the cookie butter/ biscoff iced latte/ coffee. At first sip, I couldn't tell it was biscoff. Not the second or third sip. I'm just very let down when I can't make out what I'm drinking. This was very milky, not enough coffee taste. The cup shape is cute but horrible for transport. I would give a second try if In the area, conveniently located in the same center as Dollar store and Wei Wei. read more

It was my first time visiting this coffee shop. It's located in a shopping center, so parking was very easy with plenty of spaces available. The shop itself is on the smaller side, but it's very nicely decorated. The color scheme is really pretty, the music was calm and relaxing, and everything was very clean, which I always appreciate. As for customer service, it wasn't the best experience. The girl who helped me wasn't very friendly and came across a little rude. Since it was my first time there, I was asking for recommendations and opinions, but she wasn't very helpful or kind about it. Other than that, the coffee itself was amazing definitely a 10/10. I ordered a Biscoff iced latte, and it was really delicious. Would I make the drive just to go there again? Probably not, but if I'm ever in the area, I'd consider stopping by and giving it another try. read more

Support local, and this is LOCAL! I was the first customer of the day last week and I'm glad that I had the chance to get the vibe before they were busy. Do they get busy? I don't know, but they should be because the neighborhood needed a good local shop. Not Starbucks or Better Buzz, a truly local shop. I'm a black coffee guy and I think it serves as a great baseline for the overall product. The good news is that they serve a good Americano and I was even asked, "do you want an extra shot" after I paid. Hell yeah! A customer has been earned in me and I will gladly support places like this that continue to make our neighborhood and local economy that much better. read more

Had the chance to stop by on a Wednesday and there was plenty of seating. I got the chance to try a couple of lattes: the date latte was delicious even though I'm not used to dates I really enjoyed it. The white chocolate mocha was good, but sweet.

I would definitely come back. read more

Came in for a mocha and ended up waiting 25 minutes, only to find out my order had been forgotten. When it finally arrived, the mocha was a real letdown watery texture, barely any coffee flavor and bland. I had a couple of sips and left it on the table as i wasn't able to have it. I really wanted to like this place, but it's hard to recommend when both the service and the drink miss the mark by this much. Hoping they sort things out read more
