    Stopped for coffee after work. Luckily they weren't really busy yet so we were able to get a table quickly. The decor is really nice. Pays homage to Yemen roots. The store gets great lighting, with views of the mall across the street. They have convenience outlets by the window seats. Great for charging your laptops. The coffee is flavorful without being over powering. Brewed just right. We tried the Caramel Iced Latte and Matcha Latte. There wasn't a lot of interaction with the staff besides ordering but the guys were cool. Good coffee, cool setting and nice staff.

    Very cute cafe serving Yemeni coffee with friendly and welcoming service. We ordered Sana'ani and Mafawar which were both medium roast and an iced Yemeni latte. Their coffee was not as strong as what I'm used to and somehow tasted like chai (I guess because of the spices). They are not coffee was super hot and they put a sign up to warn us. But it was so hot that I could barely hold it in my hand. Maybe they could use a thicker cup sleeve? By the way if you dine in and order drinks, the drinks would actually come in a pot with a few glasses on the metal tray. So cute. Service was good. The staff was busy but was patient with the order. Cute decor. Felt very cozy there. There were quite a few large groups and some students studying. Got a few parking stalls at the back.

    This place is awesome for a hangout with your friends or if you'd like to get some work done! It can get a bit noisy but nothing some headphones can't block out! The iced coffee we got was fantastic and very flavorful! Last time I got their chai which came in a teapot and cups which was very nice! The coffee was just as good and the service was great as well! Fast and easy! I wouldn't recommend the cheesecake though, wasn't great but everything else was!!

    I have been wanting to try Yemeni coffee since reading Monk of Mokha, so I'm glad to have finally made it! I told the person working the register that I wanted to try something traditional, so he suggested the Mofawar. It takes between 5-10 min to make, so settle in! He also requested a treat, so he suggested the Khaliat Alnahl. Very tasty! The place was full of people studying, socializing, or otherwise have a relaxing experience. The coffee was good, but I would recommend having at least 30 minutes to sit and enjoy a pot. Also, I asked for sugar on the side, which I would not recommend. I should have had it prepared with the sugar. Anyway, can't wait to try this shop or another! And lots of other tasty looking treats.

    This is the same coffee house as the one that I patronized recently in Greenwich Village, and I am just as impressed with my experience here in Westbury. I ordered the same drink, just to test consistency: a custom signature Iced Yemeni Coffee--add two tablespoons of Pistachio Powder, and it was, like the one in the Village, the best coffee drink that I have ever had in NY. It was lightly sweet and robust. The service made my drink unforgettable because they gave me individualized attention, even though the place was packed on a Friday evening. There are plenty of outlets to charge your cell phone. The tables and floors are relatively clean inside despite the huge traffic, and there is a free parking lot behind the building.

    Always stellar service and an enjoyable experience with delectable options. My go to - Moroccan mint tea, triple chocolate cake and vegan chocolate cake.

    Came here with one of my friends to grab a cup of coffee. The staff here are really friendly. The menu has a large variety to choose from. I only ordered a cup of coffee, however I do want to come back and try their pasties. Space is big enough to get some work done. I'll def be back

    Kunafah cups and adeni coffee were good. I wish he Kunafah cups were warmer but they hit right. The place is spacious and has good seating. They could add a small couch to make it more comfortable and homey. I like the greenery hanging from the ceiling. Service was friendly.

    Came here for a late night coffee and snack with my boyfriend and loved it. He got a coconut matcha and I got a white mocha latte and both were delicious. The tres leche cake we got was soft, moist and flavorful. A cute aesthetic, great service and an awesome menu. Everyone should check this place out!

    My first time trying Qahwah house and I loveddd it. From the service to the ambiance to the food, it was a great experience, It was very lively even at 10 pm and it was spacious. The server was kind and made sure every person on line to order got a place to sit to dine in. The honeycomb which seems to be the most popular item, was really tasty. It tastes similarly to a bagel and cream cheese. The pistachio cake reminded me of tres leches--sweet and moist. I would eat the honey on again for breakfast!

    Very large space, I think the largest coffee/ tea place on Long Island! Nicely designed . Nice selection of coffees , teas, matches and desserts. Small parking lot in back and street parking. Had an espresso pistachio latte which was delicious!

    I just LOVE this coffee shop I've seen Qahwah House in Anaheim, California before but never got the chance to try it, and I'm always driving past this location so I finally had to stop in!Right away, the employees were so kind and welcoming. I loved the energy in here from the moment you walk in you smell the aroma you see the Yemeni culture I love it ! I asked for recommendations on their best iced and hot drinks and went with one of their suggestions the pistachio latte and THAT is how you do a pistachio latte ‍ it was so good!They also have so many desserts that I definitely need to come back and try. I ended up getting the truffle chocolate cake and it did not disappoint The space is very spacious with plenty of seating, plus free parking in the back which is always a win! I think this might've just become my new favorite coffee shop. I love a place with great vibes and friendly people

    Decided to stop by Qahwah House after searching for a calm place on Long Island to sit on my laptop and study. It's exactly what I wanted. Ample amount of space and seating, wall outlets pretty much everywhere and it's not too loud. You can find other people working on their laptops, reading and just hanging out with their friends here. They have many pastry options to choose from and two breakfast wraps. I ordered a Brown Sugar Latte and a Spinach Feta wrap. I was a bit hungry so I didn't realize how long it would take for the premade wrap to heat up. I waited about 10 minutes after ordering and when my wrap was ready it was good, simple just a tad bit cool towards the middle of the first half. I did come in at 2pm so I assume the breakfast rush was over and they had it refridgerated for the next day. I didn't mind because the staff was kind and attentive to my needs. I was really pleased with my latte. It's rich, creamy and flavorful. They dust cinnamon on the top which adds a nice touch to it. Overall I will be coming here again. I look forward to visiting with my friends and trying out a pot of tea with them. I enjoyed the space and can recommend it to anyone who just needs a workspace to hang out, study and work while enjoying a great cup of tea or Arabic coffee.

To start, they "brownies" are not actual brownies. They are individual slices of cake. I didn't notice this 2 years ago but having it again last night, the Cadbury brownie tastes like a layered sheet cake made from box mix. The frosting on top wasn't too sweet, but certainly doesn't carry the richness of Cadbury chocolate. In a slice this simple, there's really no place to hide and paying that much for something that taste like it was battered out a box is not worth it in my opinion. The Dubai chocolate slice tasted better, but tbh, the Dubai chocolate cake from Costco not only tastes better but has a better price point! I was really excited to try their ice cream - I loved their flavor choices, but that's where my fondness pretty much stopped. The pints were pricey and taste super home made (not in a good way). The ice cream was hard and while it tasted like sweet cream, it was definitely not churned enough to carry a smooth texture. They pints were Van Leeuwen prices but the taste and texture was far from quality ice cream. In this case, I much rather pick up a pint of Hagen Daz, again much better price point and better quantity. The store is pretty but I won't be returning.

I reassured him that it wasn't his fault; having worked in coffee shops during the morning rush myself, I could tell they were severely understaffed. I really hope management realizes how much this impacts the business Saturdays and Sundays should always be fully staffed!
