Rating: 4/5 Iced…read moreBiscoff Latte: 4.5/5 Super yummy! I can really taste the biscoff flavor, and it compliments the latte really nicely. I got regular sweetness, and it was pretty sweet, so maybe less sweetness would be just perfect. Tiramisu Milk Cake: 5/5 I loved! It was super moist, and not too sweet. It was a nice combo with the Iced Biscoff Latte. Iced Double Matcha: 1/5 Really bad! I had high hopes for the matcha, seeing as how popular and how good their other items were. I'm a big matcha fan, and their matcha didn't taste right at all. It tasted super watered down, and lacked genuinely any flavor. Super disappointing! Chicken Shawarma: 4/5 Pretty yum! It definitely filled my up. Had a good amount of chicken, and came to me warm. Would get again, but isn't super exciting or different. Would love if there were a sauce that came with it. It is super packed! Lots of people coming and going, so the noise level is pretty high all the time. Good amount of seating options, but it was full basically the entire time I was there (4+ hours). Lots of drink and food options (sweet and savory). Good service -- they bring your order to your table. Wish there were more outlets available, and the floors were pretty dirty. I didn't see them clean or quickly wipe down any of the tables during the entire time I was there. I moved tables twice and had to wipe the table down as it was wet from drinks and crumbs.

Yemeni coffee shop in Irvington area open late until 11 with lots of seating, wifi, and good vibes…read more No laptop policy so far and they even have a private meeting room you can reserve They can do their coffees decaf, all beans are Yemeni, and also have seasonal limited time drinks such as the date latte (May) The spices + flavorings of their drinks are pretty neutral and not overpowering if you're not used to, their menu has something for all palates! Their date latte was nice and balanced - subtle sweetness and date flavor complemented well with a creamy foam and some bitterness of the coffee Spinach feta fatayer was good, leaned on the slightly acidic side

Once upon a time, I tried a pistachio latte in my hometown and fell in love. I moved out towards…read morethis neck of the words and was searchin' searchin' searchin', and my thirsty heart led me to here! --- F O O D & D R I N K S --- The first drink I had at Qamaria was the Pistachio Latte with oatmilk and whewwww... easily the best pistachio latte I've ever had. The pistachio flavor tastes rich and legit without being overly sweet or covering up the coffee. A lot of pistachio drinks at other spots taste like artificial syrup, but this one is smooth, balanced, and actually complements the espresso. I also love seeing that deep green color in the clear cups--it just looks so aesthetic and makes the drink feel even more authentic. Honestly, 9 out of 10 times, this is what I'm ordering. If it's your first time here, PLEASE get it. Thankfully my husband is always down to be adventurous and order something different so we can still guarantee at least one pistachio latte on the table lol. His go-to is the Qamaria Latte with oatmilk, sometimes with cold foam. It sounds simple--espresso, steamed milk, cardamom, and cinnamon--but it tastes like comfort in a cup. The cardamom and cinnamon make it feel warm, cozy, and layered without punching you in the face with sugar. Nothing tastes artificial here. Everything feels intentional and made with care. Also, whether you dine in or take it to-go, the drinks always look cute. I LOVE the dine-in presentation though. The iced drinks come in clear glass cups so you can see all the layers, and the hot drinks come in these thick ceramic mugs that make the experience feel extra cozy. And I'm such a sucker for their tray setup too--everything matches the aesthetic so well and makes coffee dates here feel extra special. And don't even get me started on the milk cakes because they are dangerously good. My fave is the Biscoff milk cake. It's super soft, creamy, rich, and has the perfect caramelized cookie flavor without being too sweet. It paired sooo well with the warm spices in the coffee. _______________________________________________________ --- S E R V I C E --- Each barista I ever had was kind and super chill. I never felt rushed and they took their time answering questions. It sounds pretty simple but I feel like even with how busy it can get, they pace themselves accordingly behind the counter so that they are intentional and patient with their customers, and work in a consistent pace that gets drinks done in time and hands them off with care. Very contrast to a cafe where baristas are working so fast-paced that their interactions are short and it feels like that they just want to get the drink over with and passed off to the customer. It all goes back to Qamaria's baristas being intentional with the way that they work. Keep doin' your thing y'all. Love the flow. _______________________________________________________ --- A M B I A N C E -- It's funny because the first time my husband and I pulled up was after dinner on a Friday night. He was feenin' for coffee and was like, "What's even open this late?" Yoooo, finding out Qamaria Yemeni Coffee was open until 1 AM on Fridays and Saturdays instantly made us happy because now we got a late-night spot whenever the cravings hit. Most nights they're open until midnight too, which is dangerous lol. And let me tell you... this place gets CRACKIN'. We came around 10:30 PM and the line was out the door, but I'm so glad we stayed because the drinks changed our life. Even on a random weekday when I met up with a homegirl, we looked up from yappin' for hours and suddenly the line was wrapped outside again. Trust--it's worth the wait. The inside is warm, modern, and culturally rich without feeling forced or overly trendy. The arches, lighting, patterned seating, earthy tones, and artwork make the whole space feel cozy and intentional. Even when it's packed, it still feels welcoming and communal--honestly just proof this is THE spot to be no matter the time of day. People are studying, catching up with friends and fam, working, or just vibing over coffee, and it somehow all works together perfectly. It's the type of café that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile instead of grabbing your drink and leaving.

So, when I was heading the South Bay, I decided to stop in and explore. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee (half sweet), and added salted cream. The coffee and salted cream were all good, but I will say that this is overpriced. I'm used to $7-8 for a Vietnamese coffee with salted cream or egg cream, etc., but this ended up being over $9 since the salted cream is not standard. So, a point off for that, but it's a solid spot.

Amazing!! Philz who? It's all about the PhiN!…read more I would support this local coffee shop all the way. Hidden gem that glistens without having to gloat and brag. Just come in and taste the coffee. Coconut Coffee - nice, tasty, blended iced coffee with a nice reach flavorful, sweet taste. Was more of a creamy coconut taste present. Salted Coffee - iced. Hint of a salt. Tasted much similar to simple Vietnamese Coffee if you're seeking something simple, which is my usual. Nutella Banana Coffee- def tasted the banana in this one. Wasn't overpowering. Not a banana coffee person, just wanted to try it. Ordered drinks on their website for pickup.

Immediately upon entry, you can see the huge display of neatly arranged donuts, malasadas, and pastries and they all look amazing! So many flavors to choose from that it was a little overwhelming. As others have said, the price point is around $5.50 per piece so have that in mind going in. Ordering was simple enough and servers were kind and patient. Parking is maximum 3 hours and there are some tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy your goodies. Overall, I think I'm still going to stay loyal to Doughweime in Union City, but these malasadas do live up to the hype. Everything bagel malasada: Surprisingly really good, a light cream cheese filling with everything bagel seasoning on the outside. And the texture of the savory donut was crispy and airy. 9/10 Strawberry cream malasada: Kind of plain, would've been good with strawberry bits inside. 7/10 Biscoff cream malasada: You can taste the real Biscoff crackers in the filling. 7.5/10

The volcano was a new experience for me, so correct me if I'm wrong, but you sip the coffee without mixing. The coffee is iced but does not contain any ice cubs, as the milk is chilled.

It takes a while for drinks to come out but that was expected as I read the reviews before coming here, and it is a nice to relax and slow down while waiting for your coffee.

Probably best to preorder in advance, although the staff were kind enough to let me know when the "drops" were, and I managed to get the quantity we needed last minute. I got myself a drink as a treat. I'm no coffee expert, but it did taste delicious. The store has a surprising amount of sunlight, and natural feeling decor. I heard that service is slow, but it didn't feel particularly slow when I was there. Price is maybe a bit high, but not unexpected at a boutique store. I cannot work remotely at this location, but I would have loved to do so. It was quite busy on the public days I went (despite seemingly being in the middle of some industrial area) so the "membership" (essentially just prepaid store credit) benefit may be worth it for someone who is a regular anyway.

The service was phenomenal; friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, I had a great experience and would happily return. In my humble opinion, this place is a gem!

They have a large outdoor patio that is partly covered, and plants provided shade to some of the tables that weren't covered. I got the honey lavender latte iced and it exceeded my expectations.

I had taken a few sips after receiving the drink and then didn't drink it again until after all the ice had melted, and it didn't even taste super watered down. A lot of reviews mention parking in Apna Mandi's parking lot behind the cafe. However, the spots in that lot closest to the coffee shop have bright red signs saying "No Coffee Shop Parking" and that violators will be towed. I ended up following one of the reviews and parked in the Safeway plaza across the street. It would be nice if Hops & Beans clarified whether or not customers actually allowed to park in the lot behind the cafe, or any alternatives.
