    mango mint refresher
    Amanda Z.

    I visited Karak on a Thursday mid-afternoon for a work excursion. There is a large lot with plenty of spots by the cafe so parking was no hassle. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There weren't too many other customers present when we arrived.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the mango mint refresher, but asked for the lemonade to be excluded from the drink. We had also shared a slice of their famous Basque cheesecake, which was very delicious. This wasn't my first visit at Karak, & it certainly won't be my last!

    The 3 things I found positive about Karak House Coffee was free parking, pretty looking but grubby decor, and fragrant coffee that tasted bad. Oh wait. I guess the only positives I recall technically is the free parking part. The negatives? Slow, curt, and condescending customer service. No half caff or decaf option for coffee drinks. Or any other alternatives suggested if one wants anything to drink that's not caffeinated. Cake was soggy and gross. Overpriced for something that crappy all around. $20 for a drink and a slice of cake with a side of long wait and bad attitude. Definitely overhyped for what it is and I won't be returning.

    Cool spot. Plenty of parking. Nice ambiance. Friendly staff. Many items to pick from on the menu. Must try spot If in the area. No TVs. Plenty of seats, appears to have no outlets if one wants to plug up computer. They play nice easy listening music.....

    I'm staying down the street from Karak House Coffee and I have really enjoyed coming here. The workers had awesome energy from the moment I walked in. The first time I came I a rose cardamom hot latte- it was excellent. Perfect amount of flavor. I love when you can actually taste the flavors of a syrup. Really great size of coffee for the price. The second time I came I got the pistachio latte. Wow! I think it was the best pistachio latte I've ever had. The first time I came to Karak to get some work done and it worked nicely. Calm, relaxing atmosphere. Spots to sit. I didn't notice any wall chargers- so that was a bit of an issue for sitting and working for long periods, but I made it work. Maybe there are some there and I just didn't find them. If you love unique flavors- this is a great spot to try!

    I've been following this shop on IG for a while for the matcha, signature chai and unique lattes. So many cool drinks to choose from. We went with the Golden Saffron latte since I didn't want any espresso in it. It has turmeric, saffron, cardamom in it which I love. It is not on the posted menu but the barista recommended it. Glad he did cuz it's good!! Non-dairy options are oat, almond and pistachop milk. (Sadly they don't offer soy milk). Cool decor and late hours makes this place a must visit!

    The signature chai.
    Yoshitaka K.

    Wow! If you have never been here, you better get Karak'ing. This place is amazing. It looks as good as it tastes. The service is amazing. The signature chai is out of this world, the pistachio latte is so great, the cakes are devine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The deco is so fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You need to check this place out.

    Really chill place to have a relaxing nightcap. Good coffee with some bites. They also have a couple of heaters outside. For their outside seats and a number inside also.... Service wise, they're pretty on point .... Free ice water on the side.... And was even able to ask for hot water. I got an Americano and it's pretty smooth. I like it. Like everywhere else it's pricey but yeah worth it. Ow and their toilet is out of order

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really clean and modern coffee shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have great options, I tried a date cardamom latte they had on offer for their ramadan menu and it was amazing!! Super super sweet though, which made me wish they offered a smaller size. I couldn't finish it. The price also ran a bit high but they were fast and the coffee was pretty great.

    Iced latte
    Zarifa A.

    I was in the area and needed a little caffeine pick me up, so I stopped by Karak House. The store itself is cozy and aesthetic with plenty of seats indoors. Service was also friendly and we got our drinks pretty quickly. They had a variety of different beverages and baked goods available. I ordered an iced latte and my husband ordered an Americano and we both really enjoyed our drinks. The coffee flavor in both were strong, which we appreciated. I'd say prices here are kind of on the steep end though. Overall, I'd recommend coming here!

    Karak Chai
    Yasmeen E.

    4/5 for the Karak Chai 5/5 for the lavender mint lemonade I love a great space where Arabs and Desis can gather and hang out. The fact that they're open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays is a big plus. The tiramisu was just okay. It lacked flavor, and the wooden fork honestly overpowered the taste with that strong stick-like flavor. I didn't have much interaction with the staff, but no complaints on service. The dessert options seem pretty standard. Nothing stood out as unique since most Yemeni coffee shops offer the same things. Still, we had a really nice time. My husband and I brought our Lego set and a board game, and it ended up being such a cozy little date night. Would come back for the vibes and drinks.

    Signature Karak Chai and Honey Lavender Latte
    Mika C.

    Really enjoyed my visit to Karak House Coffee Co. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was calm, cozy, and super chill, - bit pricy, perfect for studying because of the outlets for laptops.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the Signature Karak Chai, and it had so much depth and flavor in every sip. You can really taste the different spices and layers without it being overpowering. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    Biscoff latte
    Erene A.

    I wanted to try a new coffee shop and found this one. It's very cozy inside and was pretty busy. I went in around 10am and they were already sold out of their seasonal pumpkin cardamom latte (which I def want to go back and try). I ordered the iced biscoff latte and it was so good! At first I drank it with a straw and it wasn't sweet at all but then I started sipping from the cup and the foam on top is sweet so it's perfectly balanced with the coffee when you drink it that way.

You can also combine the cookies of your choice with icecream and milk basically making an ice cream sandwich. They have different flavors of milk which I thought was unique too. Only takeaway is that one of the employees was being super loud with his friends who visited him, thought it was a bit rude as a customer visiting and seeing that.

Ice cream is delicious and the servings are pretty generous. Lines can get fairly long during a rush but they tend to go quickly.

With the wide selection of ice cream flavors, I always get choice paralysis. It's wonderful you can try a few flavors before picking the right one. All the ice cream is so fresh, fluffy, and the variety keeps you wanting to come back and try something new. I like texture in my ice cream and Handel's is really great at mixing the right ingredients/toppings in their ice cream. I recently got a Mud Pie and the brownie was made just right. Not too soggy, didn't have a weird taste to it. It was cold but still had a good chew to it. Parking is always easy to find although on busier nights, you'll have to park quite far and wait in a longer queue. I've only been here once during the day and there isn't much shade provided for the seated area. Honestly there isn't much seating in general which I can understand due to the way the location is. It would be ideal to improve the seating, if possible. Two tables with no umbrella/shade isn't appealing during hot summer days and you're stuck eating ice cream in the car.

I'd even say it has more milk or cream than coffee. It had a potent infusion of something like vanilla or cardamom that I liked, but I wouldn't get it again. Baklava ($6.50): 5/5. The best item I got from Vanilla Street Bakery. Decently sweet with a lovely balance of nuts, dough layers, and infused syrup. I appreciated that it wasn't dripping in a sugary solution; it's definitely more balanced than other baklava I've had. Chocolate Chip Cookie ($5.20): 2/5. A very pillowy, cakey cookie, yet dry and crumbly. The flaky salt on top was a nice touch, but its overall taste and texture didn't deliver a satisfying chocolate chip cookie. Spinach-feta roll ($6.90): 2/5. Staff kindly warmed this up for me without asking, and it looked nice and savory. However, it was extremely dry, doughy, and bland, with hardly any feta. Too bland to enjoy for $7. Eclair ($7.50): 3/5. Chocolate topping and custard filling were good, but the dough was quite dry. Pricey, too! Staff were patient and knowledgeable. Interior has a quaint, cutesy look to it, with different types of seating available. I saw people catching up with friends, reading, or working, so it has a relaxing atmosphere for whatever you feel like doing. In short: most of the pastries unfortunately were very expensive and not worth the cost based on how dry and/or bland they were. Additionally, the highly anticipated Raf Coffee seemed interesting but ended up being too creamy for a coffee drink.
