I would come here just for the service. I'm going to keep coming back until I find a drink I love because I like this place so much. It's a hidden gem in the Fruitvale. I've tried the ginger milk and the Adeni chai. They were both okay. Actually, they're probably pretty good it is just that I have particular tastes. I drank both completely. You won't regret spending time here. read more

Pleasantly warm. Good tea. Lots of tech workers on a Sunday afternoon. Restroom trash can could use an upgrade: open and very full. Feminine hygiene trash bin either needed emptying or there are customers with bad aim and lacking morals. Automatic paper towel dispenser. Restroom has a urinal and a toilet. The sound track of this cafe is Q'uran verses being read out loud in Arabic. Shazam recognize music pointed to Saad E Ghamadih as the musician. The translation of the verse that was playing at the time made me feel uncomfortable because it discussed what was righteous vs unethical behavior, thereby reminding me of infuriating topics. Large glass display of sweets and breads. Comfortable looking sofas; did not try them. The inside is significantly more pleasant than how it looks from the street. Would return again for the warmth and tea. read more

We sampled a lot of food, sweet and savory, and it was all delicious. Had the Yemeni tea pot which was good too. The three staff we interacted with were all super friendly. Inside was a bit loud and the chairs aren't fat friendly. But the atmosphere and benches in the parklet were great. read more

Loved how inviting and comfortable Mohka house is. I don't drink Yemeni/Arabic coffee too often but I really enjoyed my experience here. Came around 2pm on a weekday. Still some open seats. Split a 26oz dallah of Jubani with a friend. To me, the roast as a blend of chai and medium roast coffee. Very strong and earthy with a little spice. Also indulged in a chocolate chip cookie which was very tasty. Would definitely come back! read more

I ordered the Mohka latte and an assortment of the food. We got baklava, little flat bread with seeds and some pastries. My latte did not come sweet but there is simple syrup u can add on the side. Coffee tastes very healthy and herbal y and i imagine they drink this in Yemen! I enjoyed the vibe as we stopped by this area on the way back from Sacramento. Recommend to check out! read more

Been here twice in the last week for pot service. First time was during the day on a Saturday. Although busy, we managed to find a table to enjoy our 18 oz Yemeni tea, which was delicious! It was infused with cardamom and nutmeg. We also had the veggie quiche (no pic), a little runny in the center, but the overall taste was very good. The second visit was tonight, a Thursday evening around 7:45p. We ordered the 18 oz Qishir, a coffee husk tea and caffeine free. Quite interesting, dark and on the bitter side. My friend did not like it, so I ended up enjoying it on my own. On both occasions, the gentleman behind the counter was very helpful with all of our questions regarding the drinks and pastries. It gave him great pleasure to ensure our experience was positive! Looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu!! read more

The inside of this place was very unique! I liked the cultural flare of the decorations and ambiance. I personally am not a fan of the house coffee in general, so I ordered the mocha with less sugar and it was delightful. So happy with that choice and it came out quickly! We grabbed a few desserts, they were so rich and indulgent. Not sure if I could finish one on my own but it pairs well with coffee and to share with a friend or two. Highly recommend to visit! read more

Snacks, good coffee, nice ambiance inside, plenty of outdoor seating, good hours, what's not to love?

Monka House opened where Hive the Place to Bee was. Interior totally refurbished with scenery of what Yemen urban life resembles. Quickly greeted and order filled shortly after entering.

Great vibe and ambiance. Yemeni tea pot is the way to go and a walnut baklava! The service is great and I highly recommend this location!

This place is so great! The prices are super reasonable for a Yemeni coffee shop - about $5 a drink. The one thing to try here is the honeycomb - it's baked in house and comes with beautiful sesame seeds on top. I love it. read more

Stumbled upon this Yemeni coffee house and it was such a great find! The service and staff are so nice and friendly! The decor/ambiance and space is beautiful and open (love the comfy couch seating especially). Free Wi-Fi if you need to get work done. They're open early and close late (7am-9:30pm)! We ordered a Mohka house latte with almond milk and a Jubani coffee. I am not as familiar with the method for making the coffee but the latte tasted less rich/creamy espresso and overall both coffees tasted a bit watered down? However, the spice were nice and aromatic and you can definitely feel the caffeine. We also ordered the honeycomb bread with the honey (warmed up) and it was so yummy! Fluffy, buttery, not too sweet, and more bread to cream cheese ratio (which I personally prefer). All the other pastries and other items in the display looked good too! Recommend checking this spot out! read more

The desserts were fresh and delicious, adding a sweet touch to the visit. I also loved how clean and inviting the space was, with a relaxed vibe that made it easy to enjoy the atmosphere. The service was excellent too, with friendly staff who made us feel welcome. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend Mohka House for anyone looking for a great café experience! read more

I had heard great things about Yemini coffee and wanted to try this on my way home from SF. The owner or employee must've seen me undecided on a drink haha and he offered me to try the Mofowar he had just made. It was amazing! I ended up ordering an iced Mofowar only because I was craving a cold drink at the time but the hot was delightful too! What an awesome experience would def come back for the Yemeni coffee and pastries! read more

I know Oakland has a nice coffee scene and wanted to take my parents to try something new and different. I stumbled upon this Yemini coffee and tea place online and was slightly impressed by the level of positive reviews. My family has tried some of the treats they have here from places in Los Angeles and we're curious how they would stack up. First impression was that it's a very cute coffee shop with some outdoor seating but the inside is quite popular. Lots of little tables that were mostly full. The treats case had an assortment of goodies that were a little pricier than what I'm used to but not crazy for a nice small business. We ordered a bunch of different treats, a pot of the Jubani coffee and the Yemini Tea to share. Both were delicious and our group was split about which one we liked better. I loved how the person who took our order asked how sweet we wanted our coffee. As for the treats we tried almost one of each. The baklava were all pretty standard for us and good. On par with what I've had in the past. The Sabaya and Honey Bread were much easier to share and a bit different from what I've had before. Definitely worth a try. Overall this is a fantastic coffee/tea spot that lives up to the hype. The coffee is affordable and arguably much more of a treat than some place like Starbucks. Being able to have the shared pot experience makes for a special treat that helps this place stand out compared to other coffee shops. The treats are also delicious but small and somewhat tough to share. Absolutely worth a try if you're questioning. I've already recommended this place to family and friends. This place would be perfect for a date or small family or friend visit but probably not big groups. read more

Don't go to Starbucks. Go here. It's just around the corner. They have the usual coffee drinks and so much more. The Mohka latte was amazing. The pastries and sweets looked delicious and they have hummus and other things as well. People were working and others were connecting with friends. It felt like community and we all need more community in our lives read more

Great atmosphere, and great drinks and foods! Also very nice customer service, our regular go to - highly recommend this place.

Beautiful cafe with great ambiance. It's the perfect spot to catch up with friends while sharing a pot of coffee or tea. I came here to do a little bit of reading and the environment was great. They have so many different delicious pastries and food items. Their Khaliat Alnahl was so delicious and filling. Would definitely come back and try their other coffees. read more

Interesting coffee choices! And yummy treats too. Parking is free in a close lot just around the corner and they have outdoor seating.

I love these Yemeni coffee shops popping up in the bay! I love a latte with spices like cinnamon and cardamom. I liked the mohka house coffee here but I didn't taste much of the cardamom, but did taste the ginger pretty heavily. If you like your drinks sweet you can add simple syrup on your own. I like that as an option so you can adjust according to you taste. They offer lots of sweet pastries so if I get something sweet I'd probably leave the drink unsweetened for balance. I thought it was a little too dark to study in at first, but I adjusted after a few minutes and enjoyed the atmosphere. My friend thought it was too loud to focus, but these days I enjoy a lively atmosphere. This is close to my family's place and my friend also lives by so I think I'll be visiting again! The pastries all look very good and when I was getting ready to leave I smelled something delicious and savory coming from the kitchen. read more
