Caramel Tres Leches Cake: Ethiopia is where wild coffee plants originated on our planet, but Yemen…read moreis where coffee was first harvested, roasted, and brewed back in the 15th century. Coffee is now ubiquitous with daily life in America, which brings me to Qamaria Coffee. Hatem and Munif are two Yemeni entrepreneurs with a passion for Yemeni Coffee and the joint goal of wanting to share it with the world. They founded Qamaria Coffee in 2019 to accomplish this task and in January 2024, they opened a location near Milwaukee in Greenfield, WI. Qamaria offers a variety of dessert options, including a Chocolate Tres Leches, Pistachio Tres Leches, and Caramel Tres Leches cakes. I went with the caramel version, which is described by the cafe as "A decadent caramel treat inspired by tres leches cake, creamy, sweet, and irresistibly smooth". If you've never had Tres Leches Cake, it's a light sponge cake soaked in three types of milk (evaporated, condensed, and whole) that's popular in Latin America. The cake originated in Nicaragua during the 19th century, so on first glance it's not exactly a Yemeni dessert. Doing some research, Middle Eastern variations exist that feature cardamom or rose water and some Qamaria locations do have a Rose Tres Leches. It's fine that the Greenfield location did not have that variety as I honestly would have got the caramel version anyway. My slice was perfectly moist as there was plenty of milk soaked in, but not so much that it made a mess or compromised the structure of the cake. The bottom layer was soft and Tiramisu-like in texture, while the cream on top was rich and thick. Personally, I found the caramel flavor to be mild, but delicious. As it is served chilled, it paired nicely with a hot cup of coffee (which they have a plethora of options to choose from). Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews

Been to Lake Effect a number of times, and it's a consistently good spot. On this Saturday morning,…read morethey were super busy and the place was packed. We were a group of seven and were able to find a couple of tables to pull together. The staff have always been super nice and helpful. They make excellent tea lattes. I usually go with a London Fog, and they do a very nice job with it, even adding some latte art. If I could make one suggestion, it would be offering a 16 oz option. They currently have 12 oz mugs, and sometimes I'm just looking for a little more. A tiny issue. Thanks!

It kind of sticks out as there are houses and apartments all around, parking lots is a good size and there is a good amount of tables outside. Inside are more tables and a wall of bags of coffee for sale. Inside and outside are lots of seats but we were talking and wish they had some comfy chairs to sit in and chat. The menu features a good amount of options for different coffee and tea drinks with various syrups and extras. There are a couple of seasonal type specials too. There is a small bakery case with treats from Beans n Cream in Madison, but there isn't much food otherwise. A couple of Kind and Cliff Bars. There is a basket for food pantry donations as well and a local business bulletin board. When we stopped in shortly after 8am on a Saturday morning there was a steady flow of people. The line moves pretty quick and our order was ready in a short amount of time. I got an iced chai latte and my husband got a London fog latte and a breakfast scone. The scone was alright, filled with classic breakfast flavors, but not our favorite. The staff were great in explaining where the bakery items come from and so friendly. I do wish they had some other food items available but for coffee/tea, it's a great stop! Overall a good coffee shop but I wouldn't really stop in for more than that. I would stop again for a drink!

The fans were going, the space was clean and the plants all around the cafe really help set the vibe. On top of a pretty wide selection of snacks and treats, they also sell a lot of really cute, Puerto Rican themed merchandise, from cups, to hoodies, painting, stickers, hats and more. The coffee flight was really good and I loved that they had so many sugar free options. We tried the empanadas, quesitos, and the avocado toast, which were all really good. The quesitos were super flaky and tasted yummy they just lacked some of the cream cheese filling that I love. The service was pretty good also. Overall the cafe was definitely worth checking out and i'd love to go back soon! :)

The staff was friendly and the space was very nice to spend a Saturday morning chillaxing. I got the Cubano Sandwich for my meal since I gravitate towards them anywhere they're available. There was plenty of ham and roast beef for a filling meal with nice thick slices of pickles for some added crunch. I love a pressed sandwich, and the compactness and crunch from toasting made it a very enjoyable! I love a tangy Cubano, but sadly didn't get much of a zing from the sauce and wish I got a nice hit of that. Overall a yummy sandwich! For my drink, I got an Iced Churro Latte. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but this was a nice tasty drink. The dulce de leche added lots of sweetness, and cinnamon is always welcome in a drink! The lil churro bits were also fun and cute to finish it off. My lovely lady for her Avocado Toast as she gravitates towards those. The toast was toasted and I think this is the first time we've had a well-seasoned mash that doesn't need extra salt+pepper? Awesome! There was lots of bacon which was yummy for me, but maybe a bit too much for the average joe. Pretty solid avocado toast! M'lady got a Café con Leche for her drink. Hmmm a pretty nice and deep latte, but we're no connoisseurs, so not too much to say on it... still a nice cup of joe to start the day. We also got a Quesito to share since I am a big fan of cheese rolls. This roll was ok compared to ones I've had in the past, but those may have been different variations as well. I thought the syrup on-top was an interesting take from the sugar crystals I am used to. I also found that this roll did not have much of a cheese filling. A nice flaky pastry with lots of cream was what I was expecting, but I found the inside to be almost dry, or at least I didn't see much after I took a bite. A lovely place to start the day with fun drinks and yummy food! They also had some additional apparel items for sale and I think lil specialty markets like that are always awesome and a great way to introduce others into other cultures with specialty snacks and trinkets like that. I wish some of the items fit more into what I was expecting, but still very yummy. I would love to come back to try their other food options since ours were pretty good, and I'd also love to try their other pastry items as well! Still a happy visit and I am looking forward to next time.

What I don't like so much is the fact that there is no foyer at the entrance. When the front door opens, and if you are seated nearby, you get a blast of cold air. Not sure what they can do about that, given the fact that they are part of a strip mall.

Mismatched chairs and tables from the 70s, maybe older based on the prints. I feel like I'm the only one in here today that remembers seeing and using a LOT of this stuff when was younger! It's definitely unique and fun. There's a lot of little seating areas as well, like tiny conversation pits near the entrance. One in front of a fireplace looked particularly cozy. I noticed a couple shelves with items for sale, likely from local small businesses. It can get really loud in here, which is to be expected with the high ceiling and large open area. Unfortunately that also means it can be difficult to have a conversation with people at your table. I chose to visit for lunch since I was in the mood for something light and new to me. What I did not expect was to leave still hungry. I ordered the equivalent of a caprese sandwich, however the tomato slices were so thin, the cheese sparse, and the pesto was almost nonexistent - if not for the green stain on the bread, I'd have thought they forgot to even add it. Definitely not a sandwich worthy of the $13 price tag. No complaints on the drinks. I wouldn't mind stopping in again sometime for coffee, but if you're hungry for more than a bakery case item, you may wish to go elsewhere.

The service is quick understanding that your food is made to order so you might have to wait five or so minutes. The weight is absolutely worth it!
