Met a family member there for mid morning coffee. She goes there a lot and really likes the place. Not overly crowded, nicely decorated, variety of people, some doing computer work, typical type coffeehouse stuff. Had the Mofowar. Tasty, seem like it had a little bit of chocolate on the bottom. I liked it. She had a cappuccino, that that's her usual she enjoyed it very much. We split a piece of Dubai chocolate cake on a recommendation of our barista. It was excellent!!! His service was phenomenal! Pleasant, but not over the top. Kind, yet chill. I didn't catch his name but basically he was a good dude ! This is a nice place to go have a coffee and a little snack with friends. Recommended! read more

This place has plenty of seating once you walk in and WiFi if you wanted to WFH. We got their banana matcha and adeni chai which was good. It was like banana cold foam on top of the matcha. The service was great. We also got their honeycomb (khaliat Alnahl) and which has cheese balls in between and it was good. Really liked how this place is very calming with no music playing. There's plenty of options on the menu including breakfast croissant or desserts. read more

Qahwah House - Adeni tea and desserts - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

Qahwah House is a quaint coffee/tea place that has unique drinks and sweets. They feature Yemeni style teas and coffee drinks. We tried a pot of the Adeni Chai. It's very popular here. It was rich tasting with cardamom, nutmeg and evaporated milk. It was served in traditional tea glasses which made the experience unique. Service is very friendly and also quick if you're in a hurry. They make their own deserts which were fresh, served warm and tasted delicious. Sabaya which is similar to baklava made with honey and Yemeni butter was delicious. The Khaliat Alnahi (honeycomb) desert filled with a very mild cheese in fluffy dough pockets was just as good. They roast their own coffee and also sell it whole or ground for home. They have a very neat selection of loose gourmet tea blends that I hadn't seen elsewhere! They have a huge variety of hot and cold drinks to select. The cafe gets busy in the evenings and people also working on laptops. Plenty of generous seating areas. Definitely a place to come back to and try other epicurean tea and coffee drinks! read more

Super poppin and always busy especially during Ramadan so be prepared to wait but it is totally worth the wait. The adeni chai is the best thing on the menu. I prefer getting it with regular sugar but that is pretty sweet so feel free to customize your sugar amount when ordering! The inside has plenty of seating and is very lively but it can be hard to find a seat during peak hours! read more

Delicious beverage, nice and welcoming service, it was hoppin' 1015-1145pm on a Thursday so if you're looking for a super quiet place to work this is not it but I didn't feel out of place working on the computer. read more

Qahwah House is hands down one of the best spots for coffee and dessert. Their Adeni tea is absolutely delicious--rich, aromatic, perfectly spiced, and made with incredible flavor in every sip. It's the kind of drink that keeps you coming back. Their desserts are just as impressive. The banana pudding is creamy, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The crème brûlée is smooth and decadent with that perfect caramelized top, and the tiramisu is light, flavorful, and melts in your mouth. Every item tastes fresh and made with care. Their customer service is spectacular , even the music is all apart of an enjoyable time. The quality, flavor, and experience at Qahwah House are top notch definitely recommend them . read more

We stopped by Qahwah House for a quick coffee break. The place was so packed on a Saturday afternoon but there is tons of seating inside. They offer tons of teas, coffees, expressos, pastries, and other baked goods. We ended up getting a pot of their famous Adeni chai which is what they're known for! It's Yemeni black tea made with milk, cardamom, and nutmeg. It was so so delicious! It paired perfectly with Khaliat Alnahl which is Yemeni dessert made of soft pull apart buttery bread filled with cheese and drizzled with honey! The combination is absolutely delicious! We can't wait to go back and try the rest of their lattes, coffees, and even hot chocolate! Would definitely recommend if you're in the Lombard area! read more

A unique coffee shop owned by a Yemenis family. The menu has all your core coffee drinks, but also a variety of drinks from Yemen. My wife and I bought a drip coffee and a Jabani. The drip coffee was delicious, rich with floral and cinnamon notes. The Jabani is coffee blended with coffee husks, ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom. The barista suggested sugar, so that was in there too. Delicious! There is a lot of seating in the space, and the east wall has a massive global map that illustrates the movement of the arabica coffee bean around the globe through history. I hope to go back next time I'm in the area! read more

A wonderful gem to discover just a quick jog north of Butterfield Road. Walking in, I first noticed the big pot of adeni chai roiling away and the wonderful aroma filling the space which has plenty of seating and a nice relaxed feel similar to cafes I've been to abroad. I wish more places had this type of feel that almost encourages hanging out instead of the get in and get out vibe of so many other coffee spots. I took my time checking out the menu and was happy to find that the staff very helpful in answering any questions I had. One of the baristas, Nada, was especially kind and even offered me a taste of the chai which was delicious but when I told her I needed a bit more of a pickmeup she suggested I go with a Yemeni latte. They have a great pastry selection including a tasty version of my new favorite dessert basbousa that I was introduced to on a recent trip to Egypt. All this makes Qahwah House a coffee spot that is definitely worth checking out. read more

It was late but I wanted to go out and have some tea with my sister before I flew out of Chicago the next day. She lives in the area and she felt safe going to Lombard. When we got there, the parking lot was pretty full and there was a bunch of people inside this space. I made her go inside anyways, and we figured out a way to get in line and place an order. The young lady cashier placed our order for us and was very helpful.. We ordered Adeni Chai hot tea, khaliat alnahl, sabaya. Desserts were wonderful! Now the chai tea was strong and something I have to get use too but I can get use to this. It tastes strong like coffee and nutty. If you put a little sugar, honey and cream it will work. I enjoyed the experience here. It was def a hang out place buzzing. We stood around until the young ladies next to us left and we took their seats. Btw I found out they have one in NC too!!! read more

I'm not from Illinois so when I visited Chicago, I looked up as many halal places as I could because I'm a foodie. I also love coffee/tea/boba shops and surprisingly there's so many places in Lombard! I wanted to extend my stay to try more places, but I'm planning on coming back just to try more places later. It's my duty as a Yelp Elite member ;) I've been to the Qawah House in Michigan quite a few times, which I believe is the original, and this location is almost exactly the same. The menu and the decoration inside is the same. I went with the tried and true Adeni tea, which is my go-to and the small pot comes with tiny cups that you can fill over and over again until the pot is finished. I got the flaky bread with honey, which was good, but I prefer the honey comb bread personally. The bathrooms were clean and that's a big plus in my book. Glad to see a Muslim business doing well! read more

Good coffee, nice ambience. I wish they would have more pastries. Seldom to find a nice coffee place in the area.

An amazing place, really -- open very late, selling an array of Arabic coffees, as well as authentic desserts like an addictive honeycomb cake. Tons of Arab customers and very lively. Be patient with the service. read more

Very poor customer service experience at Cawa Cafe. We arrived at 5:45 PM and saw a sign at the register saying the staff would be on break until 5:50 PM, so we waited. At 5:50 PM, an employee came out and told us they would actually be on break until 6:30 PM instead. There was no apology or explanation. It felt very unprofessional and like there was no manager or owner present. Since we couldn't even get a coffee there, we decided to leave and go to Jerusalem Cafe instead -- and the experience was completely different. The service there was outstanding. The owner personally came to our table, sat with us, and even offered us different dishes to try. He also told us we could call ahead next time so he could prepare a special dish for us. That level of hospitality made a huge difference. Highly recommend Jerusalem Cafe if you're looking for great service and welcoming people. read more

Qahwah House - Banana matcha and Turkish coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

This place is an absolute gem and they need to open a branch in Chicago downtown. I was first introduced to this place when a friend gifted me their powdered tea and I was in awe of them since then! We walked into this place late in the night and it was still very lively with a lot of people enjoying coffee, tea and bakery items. They are usually open until 1-ish AM on weekdays and weekends. We ordered an Adeni Chai which is a Yemenite tea and it was so good. It had very rich flavors of cardamom, and nutmeg. It's served in a pot which can be easily shareable between 4 people. We also tried the Chocolate pistachio tart along with our tea and it was perfect delectable late night desert. They have a lot of desert options and coffees and I'm definitely coming back again to try more! read more

Qahwah has become my go-to spot for chai! The Adeni chai is consistently delicious -- rich, smooth, and full of flavor. The whole place smells amazing as soon as you walk in, which just adds to the vibe. It does get a bit busy at times, but you can usually find a seat and relax. Great spot to unwind with a perfect cup of chai or coffee. read more

OMG! What an amazing coffee shop. I have not had coffee this delicious since I was in Dubai in March. The Turkish coffee and pastries were delicious. As soon as we walked into Qahwah, Mohammed greeted us warmly and asked us if we had any questions. We settled on a small pot of Turkish coffee & two different pastries, Sabaya & Khallat Alnahl (our favorite.) We have returned with several friends & are now discussing how we can bring this coffee shop back to our town (35 minutes away.) Starbucks & DD, better watch out read more

The coffee was one of the best I ever had the service very friendly is a little small but with great taste

I've been here a few times. It can be confusing because you have people lining up on both sides of the register. You would line up on the left. I forgot what his name was. The gentleman at the register was very helpful, knowledgeable, and pleasant. I came on Thursday night around 6:30 pm. If you come after 7 pm, then it can be hard to find a seat. I guess this is the place to be everyday at night. Prices were okay since this isn't a huge chain. They do have a lot of seating but they can be filled up with large families. I've tried Yemeni Tea, Adeni Chai, khaliat alnahl, and sabaya. I was actually surprised to see how busy it was, not packed but busy. The Yemeni Tea was delectable. I could taste the cinnamon along with the other spices. It's a very good tea on a cold day. The Adeni Chai was smooth, had a good amount of nutmeg, and was refreshing. The khaliat alnahl has cheese inside and comes with honey drizzled on top. The sabaya is buttery and flaky. Both of these famous pastries are worth getting. They're best to eat when fresh, keep that in mind when taking either of them home. I would give this place a 5 but people were lining up on both sides of the register. In addition, it seemed like when one guy would order. Along came 10 more people that were also part of his order? These guys came out of nowhere, like they were all hiding under the table. read more

Ambience: great atmosphere in the space. Very cozy and lots of people enjoying their food/drinks Service: you order at the counter and wait for your number to be called out. everyone seems to be nice and approachable. Food: we ordered this popular Yemeni pastry and it was delicious. I personally liked it without the honey as it doesn't need it. We ordered an adeni chai and Rada'ey. They're both very good. I only wish I can customize my drink (adeni chai) but it's already prepared ahead of time (not made to order). read more

Consistently busy is an understatement for this coffee shop. I would recommend viewing their menu ahead of time before you visit their location or grab one of their menus at the counter before you order. As you enter their cafe there is an industrial coffee machine surrounded by a bar for guests to and admire the machine. Along the back wall there is a large mural of pictures guests can enjoy viewing. The display layout of the counter is spectacular. We ordered two pastries and two coffees. Both included ginger which were pretty strong. We love ginger, but will was a little intense for us. Overall the food, coffee, and people were great. We will be back to try other items. read more

Goodness this place is fantastic and I wish I had known about it sooner. Right as you walk in the aroma of the tea/coffee, pastries etc puts you in a good mood. I was here twice in a 24 hr span LOL. I went here Friday night with hubs and then Saturday AM with a gal pal. I tried the adeni tea (shared in a pot while dining in), the Yemeni latte (iced), the 'pretty cheese' pastry (I won't try to spell this or pronounce it bc I'll be way off, haha), the triple chocolate cake, boubusa and talia. Everything was divine!!! My favorites were the Yemeni latte, adeni tea and pretty cheese pastry. The staff is so polite and kind, they provide quick and accurate service. Everyone seemed to be in a great mood and it really gave the whole experience a homey and cozy vibe. Friday night the place was PACKED, and I can understand why. This is such a great spot to hang out with family/friends after a day of work and just decompress with some food tea/coffee and pastries. Saturday AM was still consistently busy however not as busy as a Friday night. I love the touch of history on the walls, it brings everything together very well. I will definitely be coming back soon =) read more

Excellent food and coffee, and the staff was extremely polite. The atmosphere was very comforting.

Busy, unique coffee shop located in Lombard, that offers up delicious treats and great coffee and tea. The huge wall decor shows a beautifully crafted 3D map of where the coffee comes from. The shop is full of patrons who are there to meet with friends, do some work, or even have a study group. We ordered an iced yemeni latte and the meditative mind tea pot for 2. As well as a pistachio cake and a slice of khaliat alnahi, a warm pull apart honey comb bread filled with whipped cream cheese and drizzled with honey. After drinking the tea, I felt very relaxed and was ready for some quiet time. Its always nice to find new coffee spots in town. read more
