    I really like the interior of Qahwah! They're also open late so that's a bonus. I came here around 11 pm and I was interesting to try their Dubai tres leches. It was something I definitely enjoyed!

    We were really excited to try this new Qahwah branch in Jackson Heights, especially since I've enjoyed the other locations in Manhattan and Astoria. Unfortunately, our experience here was quite disappointing. The ambiance is nice, but the service left much to be desired. Our waiter was rude right from the start. We noticed that everyone else who ordered coffee received a mug, while we were offered only a small paper cup. When we asked for a glass or mug, our request was dismissed, even though we explained it was too hot to hold the paper cup. To make matters worse, the waiter then took a used glass from another table, rinsed it off without drying it, and brought it to us. It was quite off-putting and made us feel uncomfortable.It's sad because the place has potential, but with such poor service I dnt think we will be returning

    Pistachio Pastry

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 5 Decor: 9 Value: 6 Overall: 7 This was the popular new cafe Jackson Heights natives have been clamoring about for months. Finally opened not long ago, and I have been there a couple of times, so feel that I can properly give it a fair assessment. The first thing everyone notice when walking in would be the beautiful decor. I don't often give out 9 scores for anything, but I think this is one of the prettiest cafes I have been in that's not over the top. Just a nice simple design with an appealing color scheme that calms my soul. Honestly, this is my number one reason for coming back. As for the drinks and food, it's been solid, but not amazing as I had hoped. The Adeni Chai was good, but a bit sweet for me. On the opposite spectrum, their Mofawar was quite bitter. I have also tried a pistachio cake that was quite yummy. The pistachio pastry I ordered was also solid, but the server said he didn't know the filling. I asked why, he said they change from time to time. That's not okay. They should know and avoid possible people with allergies from being seriously hurt. Other than the remark above, service was average. Not one server had a smile on their face. The prices for everything is also slightly higher than most cafes nearby. I would say you are truly paying for the ambiance. Let's just hope they improve on other aspects of their establishment.

    Lovely new addition to the neighborhood. I'm a sucker for adeni chai as it tastes similar to hong Kong style milk tea. Atmosphere inside is chill and cozy, and the right amount of seating spaced out to catchup with friends or just to sit and enjoy the drinks. They've got a great selection of sweet treats that seem to rotate. Staff are quick and friendly. Highly recommend if in the area!

    Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake

    I was honestly surprised to see that Qahwah Valley made a second location in Jackson Heights of all places but it's good to expect the unexpected haha. Similar to their first location, the interior is absolutely gorgeous & even more spacious in their Manhattan location. I've tried a couple of things including their popular adeni chai (absolutely amazing) & the Biscoff tres leches (also great). The employees there are very kind & patient every time I've visited. I hope this place succeeds as Yemeni cafes are a fantastic & rapidly growing addition to NYC.

    Beautiful, spacious Yemeni cafe. I had the mofawar (spiced and milky coffee) and adeni chai (spiced, milky black tea). The service was friendly and answered our questions. We ordered to go and received our drinks in cups but didn't know which was which since they were unlabeled. The drinks themselves were good but they both tasted the same. There were also debris on the bottom. They could strain the drinks better.

    Ate here by myself for the first time during my spring break from work. I had brought and ate the Dubai chocolate and drank blueberry tea that it had tasted really good and super sweet. The service there was also attentive and quite good and efficient that it took awhile to be served. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

    Semolina cake Tea Backlava
    Maram A.

    The place is big abd beautiful. It is a good working and chill environment. The desserts were really good abd high quality. The semolina cake with cream in it had a nice bite to it and wasn't too sweet. The cream in the middle was nice and cold. This dessert needs to be eaten cold. When the cream starts melting it's still nice but the rose flavor becomes a bit overpowering. It's a good desert. The baklava was crunchy and packed with sugar coated nuts. It was nice. We also enjoyed the tea. Service was fine. There just needs to be some tweaking in how questions at answered and a friendlier way of moving. I think it's a matter of experience but service was polite.

    Beautiful interior

    Woot woot! A Yemeni coffee house in Jackson Heights! No longer having to trek to Steinway for some adeni chai. This place recently opened up and it looks very spacious inside. Great place to get some work done while enjoying the café drinks (but I beg you study/work folks, don't just order a drink and just sit there for hours; have some etiquette!) . I only came here once so far and ordered their adeni chai. The pricing was fairly similar to other places, but think it's cheaper than Qahwah House (another famous Yemeni cafe chain). I still added a few more sugars to mine because I like it sweet. The inside is so gorgeous and is definitely an Insta worthy place. Will come back again to try their desserts and the pistachio latte!

    Ambience: Huge place with plenty of seats, very opulently decorated. Food: Got the Adeni chai which was a good balance of bitter and sweet, more on the bitter side but I liked that. Honey comb was my favorite of the pastries, it was so lightly crisp and the flavor was subtle and perfect. Dubai cheesecake was pretty good as well, one of the better Dubai-flavored food items I've had anywhere. Service: They were very obviously understaffed. We had a couple of mishaps. 1) We ordered a Dubai cake and got a Dubai cheesecake instead. We didn't bother getting the correct item because the staff was swamped and the cheesecake was good regardless. 2) Our buzzer rang twice by staff by mistake, so we went back and forth a couple of times to the front. 3) The bins were overflowing. This place has potential to be a great JH staple, but it needs to be supported by more staff members.

    Inside of cafe

    Beautiful inside. We ordered the chai in the pot with Dubai chocolate cheesecake. The chai was very good. We were there on a Saturday around 6 pm and it was very busy. We lucky only had yo wait about ten minutes to get a table. Overall a nice cafe to stop in and have a dessert and drink. It gets crowded with a lot of people sitting at tables on their laptops and staying for hours.

In actuality they are two of my favorite desserts and they combine them really well here - the cheesecake is on the creamier side and goes well with the lighter flan texture. My friend got the berry napoleon and he said he had better, but I tried it and thought it was good as any I ever tried. They do a great cafe con leche here and most of their drinks seem to be good quality. There is seating, but they ask you to limit your time during busy hours so other patrons can enjoy. Overall this a solid bakery that I would be happy if it was in my neighborhood - solid all around!

The sauce that was served was absolutely delicious with the signature tanginess and sweetness of Thai food. The hot pot that I ordered was also enjoyed to the fullest! The food here was super good but also I love liver so I was glad they had a hot pot option that included that! After a delicious meal, we finished off with the mango bingsu which also was a huge hit! The bingsu was super fluffy and light! This meal was definitely worth it and didn't leave me feeling super heavy. The service was also great even though they were always full house with some parties waiting and only one person serving. I will be back next time to try their Thai barbecue which I saw people having and I could stop looking at! On top of all this, the server or manager even gave me a free Melona ice cream which I paired with the bingsoo after he saw that I was pregnant which I thought was super sweet. I don't live too far from here so I also want to add that even though I have not added a review, I always go to this restaurant to grab a coconut Thai milk tea to go (I am not even a huge Thai tea fan)!

The atmosphere is indeed cozy with quaint outdoor seating as well. Unfortunately, I gave their iced matcha latte two tries, on two separate days. Sadly, their version of an iced matcha latte is watery and lacks the matcha flavor, despite being green. It just tastes like milk. It takes a lot of flavored syrup to make this drink taste better, and syrupy drinks aren't good. The first time I had it, I was surprised to be chewing on ginger pieces that were floating in the bottom of my drink. Luckily, I like ginger and, more importantly, I'm not allergic. I passed it off as maybe their unique twist on a matcha latte. When I went back for a second try, I asked them to not put ginger in the drink, to which I was told ginger should have never been in the drink and the whisk they used was likely not fully cleaned from a drink that contains ginger. Uhh, gross! And not a good practice for a restaurant serving the public. I forgave the first mistake and ordered another iced matcha latte with lavender. I get back to my family's house, take a sip, and notice they omitted the lavender. Had to walk back to get it corrected. The young lady taking orders was very apologetic and swift in correcting it. However, her colleague wearing a bandana on her hair was not as kind and seemed to be irritated at my kind request it be fixed. Both of my experiences have been off putting and I simply will not be back! Thank goodness the neighborhood has alternatives like Over The Moon and Qahwah Valley. Espresso 77 would benefit from improved quality of their products, cleanliness, and customer service.
