My husband and I hadn't been here for a while and went the other day. It was a little later on a weekday morning, so it wasn't too crowded. We were welcomed in and got in line to place our order. The case of pastries is fun to look at! We ordered and sat down to wait. Our coffee and food were good, but having been there before, we knew they would be. What I enjoy just as much as the menu items, is looking at the beautiful clothing that some of the women wear. I don't know all the correct words for the traditional clothing they wear and don't want to be disrespectful and use the wrong words! But some of them are absolutely gorgeous! Some of the men also wear their traditional clothing. I make an effort to not look too much, but some of the garments are hard to look away from! Go for the coffee and pastries, and enjoy seeing the traditional garments! read more

A nice, different spot to try! They have quite the niche for pastries and specialty mousses (covered in chocolate, quite vital on social media). Counter service was friendly and quick. Lots of seating. The parking lot directly in front was significantly smaller than the one it was attached to, and completely full. There was a food truck and a shaved ice place, so we had to park further away by the Chuck E. Cheese. Not too bad of a walk, though, just something to note for folks who can't go long distances. I also didn't expect to spend $10 on the croissant and personally wouldn't spend that again. Coffee syrups were 1883 brand, and my preferred is house made syrup (especially for a $7 latte). However, almost anything is better than Torani! Still a nice treat to try for a first timer. I'll be back if I'm ever in the area again! read more

Qahwatea might just be my new favorite coffee shop. Me and my sons stopped by before some appointments nearby and I instantly fell in love with the place. The first thing I noticed was how much seating they had, perfect if I wanted to bring my other kids along . The smell of fresh coffee when you walk in is amazing and made the whole place feel so cozy/relaxing. One of my favorite parts was the real flowers throughout the shop, because it made everything feel warm and inviting. Al was so nice he is who also helped us & was also super nice and welcoming. I was happy to see they even had sugar-free flavor options, which is something I need sometimes and don't always find. Me and my sons got the hazelnut-vanilla latte and we also ended up trying the banana cream latte sooo good! My son also decided to get Dubai chocolate cake, and a nutella croissant. Everything tasted fresh. They have tea, coffee, pastries, refreshers, and so many options to choose from. Overall the treats and coffee were good, employees were welcoming and the place was nice and quiet perfect to relax. read more

I heard and saw so many videos of the viral fruit snack. I decided to come here for the mango snack. The mango snack was much harder on the outside than I thought. The outside shelve was quite sweet. The mango cream on the inside remind me of a cake frosting. The coffee is a bit different in taste than what I am used to. The rose for mother day was nice. read more

Qahwatea Coffee @qahwateacoffee 15957 Manchester Rd, Ellisville, MO 63011 Just experienced the soft opening of Qahwatea Coffee in Saint Louis, and I'm already obsessed! From the stunning decor to the delicious coffee, tea, and desserts, every detail is perfect. The owner is so kind and open to feedback, making the vibe even better. I loved trying their Adeni Chai -- a must-try, customizable to your taste -- and the blueberry dessert was absolutely gorgeous and delicious! Can't wait to go back. It is family-owned! Highly recommend giving Qahwahtea a visit! #QawahteaCoffee #SaintLouisEats #CoffeeLovers #DessertGoals #stlhalalfoodie #stlhalal #manchestermohala #stlcoffee https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO6wgUVkl88/?igsh=dDh0b290ajljdWVk read more

I love this coffee shop. There is not another place like it. The vibes inside are unbelievable. The smells of the bakery items when walking in make you want more. My favorite coffee here is the brown sugar shaken espresso. I am serious it is a must have. Their croissants are always good however the Bischoff is the best one! Wonderful staff and they have the best customer service in town! read more

The matcha was SO good, and the latte was fresh and tasty as well. It was super busy and the line was really long, but the drinks came out very quickly. Unfortunately, the fruit mousse desserts were a letdown. We tried the raspberry and banana, but both were pretty flavorless and hard to eat, so we didn't end up finishing either one. read more

I finally made it to Qahwatea and I am sure glad I did! The staff greeted me with a friendly smile and I knew I made a great choice. Yemen coffee has a flavor like no other. Make a pistachio latte with it and the flavor is like no other! Plus this coffee shop is just so perfect for any occasion! Plentiful seating in a bright and open setting. I felt comfortable at a small table sipping my coffee and reading a book late on a Saturday morning. It is rare to find a space where you don't feel rushed to do just this. read more

This place is really pretty! In a small strip mall off Manchester the space is pretty large. I am not on Tik Tok but apparently this place is Tik Tok famous? The girl at the counter greeted us warmly and was super friendly and helpful. We asked a few questions about the different desserts, and she answered them with a smile. I ordered a Mocha and I sampled the desserts my daughters ordered. The mocha was ok, and the desserts were tasty and very pretty. 4 stars are for the space and the employees read more

I love this place! It was my first time visiting and my expectations were met. I saw all of the marketing videos on TikTok (which are very creative and amazing) and I couldn't wait to give it a try. I visited with my friend and we were there for a few hours. Very comfortable seating, plenty of space, and it was so clean. We tried a few things on the menu and everything was a 10/10! I can't wait to go back read more

Wow. Stunning space with authentic Yemen coffee, tea, and baked goods. The drinks and food may be unfamiliar and there is a bit of a learning curve your first time in. Don't let that dissuade you. The knowledgeable and friendly staff will guide you through it. Our coffees were delicious and the experience was amazing. Definitely recommend! We were driving a rental with no charging cables so my phone was dead. I will definitely take some photos next visit and update here. Highly recommend! 011826 read more

First, Parking was packed. We needed to park in the neighboring lot. We came on a Sunday but it was pretty busy still in the afternoon. I wanted to try a drink and one of the desserts. Hot matcha and a tiramisu cup. Together it was $18 without tip. It was pricey but wanted to try it. The Tiramisu cup was ok. There was more bland cream in it than espresso or lady fingers. The chocolate cup was rich but I am not sure I'd get it again. I love tiramisu but don't get the flavors I was looking for. The drink was nice and hot. It was a good tasting matcha. Not sure I'd pay $7 for it again though. I was going to get a shot of espresso but that was also $4! So I decided not to get that added to my drink. This seems like a once in a while place but not something I would go to often to work or spend time with friends. The inside was nice and clean even though it was busy. read more

Qahwatea Coffee - Tiramisu chocolate cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ellisville, Missouri

After going viral, I had to check out this shop. It is massive and very easy on the eyes as it very bright and clean. One of the owners took our order and was still delightful after we came in after the Sunday church rush. Although the prices are higher, they are using quality ingredients and I will gladly pay the price for it. As a pistachio lover, I had to get a lot of pistachio items like the pistachio latte and pistachio cheesecake. My companion got a macchiato and Biscoff a.k.a. lotus cup chocolate cup. The pistachio latte was okay and I wanted more of that creamy nutty taste so I may ask for less coffee or more pistachio in the future. As for the desserts, I love them because they were creamy and not overly sweet. I hope they continue their great offerings. The space is very large and great for virtual working or study. This place is also great for large groups if you want to host a work coffee meeting or worship group meeting. For accessibly the entrance is wide, and the front door is light enough to open. The bathroom is also quite large, which is great, but that door is a little heavier so you may need assistance. The space is also not too loud so if you have a service dog they wont be too concerned with the coffee bean grinder or other patrons being a little louder. I hope the price point does not keep people away. You are paying for quality. I would offer advice to them to expand the menu to be more kid friendly and I bet their audience grows. read more

Visited this little spot while in town visiting family. Super cute. I had a pistachio coffee and it was much sweeter than I prefer. Everyone in my family agreed that the coffees were really sweet. My daughter and got pastries to split, We tried a mango fruit pastry. I felt like the white chocolate was a little thick compared to the ones I tried before. I would also have liked to have seen some mango pieces in the filling. We also tried a Dubai chocolate milk cake which was pretty good. My husband enjoyed his Nutella croissant and my son liked his tiramisu mousse cup. read more

I've visited Qawatea a couple of times now, and it's a really nice addition to the area. The space is clean, bright, and modern, and the pastry case is beautiful -- colorful mousse desserts, croissants, and unique pastries you don't normally find around Wildwood. On my first visit, I tried the Sans'ani traditional coffee, the Qawatea Latte, and the Cherry Fruit Mousse. The Sans'ani was extremely bold -- authentic, but a little too intense for my taste -- and the wait was close to 30 minutes, which made that first trip feel a bit long. My second visit was much smoother. I ordered the Pistachio Latte, Qawatea Latte, and a Za'atar Croissant. Service was faster, the drinks were well-balanced, and the croissant was flaky with a nice savory flavor. The only small hesitation I have is that the drinks do feel a bit on the pricey side for the area, though the quality is good. Overall, I'm happy to have something new and different in Wildwood, and I'm excited to come back and try more of their pastries. It feels like a place that will keep improving as it settles in. read more

First time here and it won't be the last! I drove 50 minutes to try Qahwatea. My first initial want was to try the fruit mousse cakes. Literally they're in the shape of the fruit that the dessert contains in the middle. I brought some home and tried the cherry, lemon, and mango. All were absolutely delicious! I can't choose a favorite. I also can't stop thinking about them all week. I tried their pistachio latte and really enjoyed that as well, but I love anything pistachio. The place is super clean, open, and decorated beautifully. The girl who took my order was very nice. Everyone should try this place at least once, you won't be disappointed! I'm looking forward to going again and getting more of their fruit desserts. read more

New coffee/tea and bakery shop in the Ellisville area is living up to the hype! Beautiful and spacious with very clean decor. The bakery case is incredibly tempting on how to narrow choices but you cannot go wrong. I have a tree nut allergy so was very concerned but just have to ask the team the ingredients of items ans they are very helpful. Try their fruit mousse creations: beautiful and delicious! Mocha latte was tasty and price is comparable to other specialty stores. Parking is tough in this lot though especially on Saturday AM but know that they are open late so fun options for the area. read more

The food here has been excellent. I enjoyed learning about Yemeni coffee and how it sets itself apart from other known coffee regions. The decadent pastries have been a hit and my favorites has easily become the mango and banana fruit cakes. The shell is sweet but not overpowering. The interior cream is silky and subtle. The banana had just enough banana that was light and airy, but that mango hit all those notes. Prices here can be a bit steep but its worth it read more

I came in and tried the gingerbread coffee. It was actually very good. I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly wasn't sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't overpowering. It was very subtle and delicious. I only wish I had more. Definitely will ask for light ice next time. I got the strawberry pastry. It wasn't a hard shell. It was soft. It was OK, but I wouldn't get it again. It was a texture thing for me. I would be willing to try another one. read more

I've been wanting to try Qahwatea's pistachio latte since they went viral and it did not disappoint! It was perfectly balanced; nutty and slightly sweet with a smooth espresso flavor. One of the best I've ever had! Do I think $7.50/$8 is a bit steep for a coffee? Absolutely. But I know pistachio cream isn't a cheap ingredient so it was a nice treat. I also grabbed their Dubai chocolate milk cake. Sadly, it fell flat for me. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the texture was complete mush, and it didn't even taste chocolately. The bottom chocolate cake level was sopping wet and because of that, the kataifi did not retain its signature crunch. It was just a soggy mess. The only decent part was the rich ganache on top, but even that didn't make up for flavorless mush. I regret not trying the fruit mousse cakes or a croissant instead read more

Cool new spot in Ellisville with unique coffee, pastry and dessert options. We stopped by for breakfast but want to come back for dessert sometime.

I liked the spices, it was unique and tasty. My companion ordered a cappuccino which she also enjoyed. We both got pistachio croissants and those were yummy as well.
