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

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!

The space is bright and elegant, adorned with beautiful decor and murals. Plus, they even have a separate prayer room, making it perfect for community gatherings. Best part? It's the most affordable Arabic coffee place I've found so far! Staff were very attentive and friendly! I will be back soon.

We hit them right at open, and they had one employee holding it down solo. Drink orders backed up pretty quickly, but honestly? She caught up fast and never lost her composure. If you're in a hurry, maybe time your visit accordingly -- but if you can slow down for a few minutes, it's completely worth it. One small note: the menu doesn't make it obvious that alternative milks are available, but they are -- I only found out by overhearing other customers order. Would love to see that called out more clearly! Now, the real reason you need to go: the honeycomb pastry. I cannot stress this enough. It is that good -- the kind of thing you'd make a special trip for. The coffee drink was solid too, which honestly just seals the deal. Cute space, great pastries, good coffee. MOTW is doing something right -- give them a little grace on the busy mornings and just go.

Both of us enjoyed our drinks, and the barista is professional and friendly. I think my coffee is better than the taste of almost coffee shops in San Diego, I loved it. We also tried their breakfast items, I had a ham and cheese crepe and my husband had a breakfast sandwich, the size is huge and the price is reasonable. Also they are delicious! I'm impressed!

The coffee came through perfectly with balancing sweet and coffee flavor, definitely recommend! They also have cute coffee flights and I will probably do that next time! Being Puerto Rican, Aroma Café did not disappoint and made me feel at home.

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.
