    Decaf Yemeni latte, Yemeni chocolate
    Stasj T.

    Coffee enthusiasts ASSEMBLE!!! Made the mistake of NOT coming here to do work though CORRECTED that mistake by closing down the night here. Lovely atmosphere, and love learning about coffee. I got the Yemeni chocolate (stuffed with kanafe, surprise!) and a decaf Yemeni latte because I needed to sleep in a couple of hours. Neither disappointed! They also roast in house, so I brought back a 1/2 lb bag. Owner told me to wait a day or so, since they had just roasted the beans the night before (allows beans to rest and the flavors to come out). When I brewed them with my Fellow back home Make this a definite stop!

    This business share building with other businesses so just be sure you can find their entrance. The parking is very limited so you may have to park further away if it's busy. The pastries are good. I got the pistachio milk cake but felt like it's too milky. My friend got the mocha cake and she love it. I got brown sugar latte but it wasn't sure enough. She got the caramel macchiato and liked it. I do love the space that's for sure. It's so so so much bigger than haraz. Love that when it's busy, you can find seating as opposed to Haraz, it makes you feel like you don't even want to stay when you see how busy it is inside. I would come here again. Would love to try their other pastries.

    This is an interesting new Yemen style coffee house. I ordered a chai tea latte. It had such interesting flavor! Unlike any chai I've had. My husband got a latte of some sort and it also had a unique flavor going on. They both tasted good and really fresh! Just totally different flavors than we are used to. I would go back and try more things. Keep in mind they don't really have food, just a pastry case full of desserts I've never heard of before. Try it out and see what you think!

    Pistachio Latte (iced) with oat milk
    London E.

    Everytime I go, the coffee is consistently excellent. I love the pistachio latte with oat-milk. The atmosphere is nice and situated on a very cute side street lined with homes and small businesses. The staff is always helpful and professional and make sure your orders are just right. I went once and accidentally got the wrong order- I called and they literally remade the whole thing and replaced the entire order with no issue. It's a pleasure to go to local places that have quality and a great atmosphere. If you want to see more of my thoughts, I've posted on my TikTok(Londonlovie) my review and some of my favorite items. I'd say it's my top 5 coffee shops in CLT.

    Best Matcha Latte that I've ever had. Usually Matcha has some sort of after taste thing that I don't vibe with, but this one didn't at all. We didn't like the pastry selection so we walked to Haraz for that, but I definitely like the matcha better here. The ambiance is also bigger than Haraz and not as crowded. Its a nice vibe!

    This is really a nice coffee shop to work at when you want to get out of the house. They have an amazing strawberry matcha that is really good! The service here was friendly and willing to suggest good food items as well! I highly recommend coming early! It's gets packed in the AM.

    Pastries: they toast them for you but ask them to watch since this time came out a little burnt

    One of my fav spot back in NYC also came to Charlotte! Their chai is so good. Guess now Plaza area has two spots, hope they open more The space is large, good for groups.

    Hazelnut dessert
    Juliana D.

    Nice and spacious coffee shop in plaza Midwood. I loved how they had lots of seating inside and outside. The decor is very nice as well. I got the hazelnut dessert and it was good but it's was expensive for the size. It was pretty small. I also would have liked it to have more hazelnut flavor. I would like to come back and try their coffee another time.

    Brown sugar latte
    Elizabeth D.

    Beyond excited to have this unique new spot in the neighborhood! We came in this afternoon for drinks and a snack and were blown away by everything we tried. First of all, the space is beautiful - the high ceilings combine with stone and wood accents to make for an airy, inviting atmosphere. The staff couldn't be nicer - we decided to try the pistachio and brown sugar lattes (both iced) with the honeycomb pastry. I truly don't think I have ever tasted anything quite as good as that pistachio latte. We both couldn't get over that one! The brown sugar latte was also fantastic - I tasted lots of warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg - and the honeycomb came out warm and drizzled with honey... holy moly. Unbelievable. The bread reminded me of a yeast roll, and several pockets of it had a cream cheese mixture that's tartness was perfectly balanced with the sweet honey. We already can't wait to come back. Such an incredible new addition to Plaza Midwood!

    Pink Dragon Frappe
    Garland M.

    Not much of a coffee drinker but my wife enjoyed their Yemen coffee, and I enjoyed the tea. We came here to try their new pink dragon frappe which was delicious. It was more like a milkshake. We also got a fruit tea and strawberry matcha tea which were all good. This is located in the Plaza Midwood area of Charlotte so have to find street parking. The interior decor is really nice. It feels really upscale inside. The patio is pretty big and shaded which is where we decided to sit since it wasn't too hot the morning we went. The staff is also super helpful with helping you decide and describe the items on their menu. A nice spot to hang out grab a few delicious drinks, work, or even just chat.

    I've been to the Chicago location and first time at the Charlotte one! I like that there is room to sit there and eat and drink coffee/tea. The service is also really good! Everyone was friendly and gave us samples of the adeni chai. I got the honeycomb thing and it was really good!

    Iced Adeni Chai
    Artianna S.

    I really enjoyed this place and look forward to returning! I ordered an iced Adeni Chai and it was very delicious. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming and gave great suggestions. The space is really open and enjoyable. My friend got a small pot of the Adeni Chai which is enough for two people. It's definitely a lovely place to get together with friends and enjoy tea and pastries!

    After a long walk in the neighborhood we decided to stop by this newish coffee shop for a delicious treat and there were no regrets! Everything was a 10 out of 10, the service, the tea, the food, the decoration! I can't recommend this business enough and it needs to become a staple in the plaza neighborhood! I tried a traditional dessert from Yemen was flaky, but also buttery, cheesy, honeyey and soft at the same time. They warm it up for you so with every bite it literally melts in your mouth! I was also lucky enough to try some traditional black tea and all I can say is this coffee shop makes the best tea I probably ever had! Delicious and please go support!!

It has such a calm vibe with plenty of seating inside and some outdoors as well. I loved that they offer seasonal drinks alongside their classics and food options. We opted for a cortado, a vanilla lavender matcha, and a chicken chorizo breakfast burrito. Everything tasted delicious and was served fast. We sat for around an hour working on our laptops and weren't interrupted. There were people chatting as well, so it's a great space to do both. I absolutely loved the fact that you can get other drinks too, since they have a large selection of wines and seltzers. Everyone we talked with was super sweet--I can't wait to visit again!

Anyway, I sat by a very friendly caressing plant until the 2 guys on their tinder date left the couch. There were no outlets at some of the other spots so I waited out and side eye the couch spot. A minute after I sat down, a lovely couple tried to squeeze the vintage wooden booth that looked like it was built before the civil war. Cute tho but tiny. I told them they were fine to join me so they could sit in the comfy chairs! And that I didn't mind. So they were grateful to join my spot back here in the last room. I don't need to bogart the whole corner so I was happy also that they came over. Food is good here and everyone nice and helped me carry my order so I didn't spill my beloved matcha latte!

I had recently tried this drink at another Haraz location and loved it so much that I officially considered myself a matcha drinker. When I received my drink, I noticed it looked much pinker than it had at the other locations I'd visited. I assumed it had just been mixed and that the usual layers of matcha, strawberry, and whipped cloud had blended together, so I didn't think much of it. However, after taking my first sip in the car, it immediately tasted like strawberry milk. Since I was on my way to work, I kept drinking it, expecting the matcha flavor to come through, but it never did. It was disappointing because the drink was nothing like the one I've had several times at other Haraz locations. I hope this location places an emphasis on training and consistency so the drinks meet the same standard as the rest of the Haraz locations. On a positive note, the staff members were kind, welcoming, and greeted me as soon as I walked in.

The drip was very weak and the nitro bitter. The quiche was just slightly over salted. I liked the spinach empanada, but found it heavy on the salt too. The Patagonia was pretty delicious and had great flavor. When I took a bite of the breakfast empanada, I couldn't name any of the ingredients in the filling. Overall, gave me the caffeine boost and sustenance I needed, but I probably wouldn't return.
