Nice chairs, no music. Confused execution. Quemeria looks the part solid seating decent atmosphere feels like a step above your average chain cafe. Starbucks. But spend 40 minutes here and the cracks show. Prepackaged pastries with none of the speed that's supposed to justify them. Date cake ordered for dine-in promised to be plated delivered in a plastic to-go container. Cashier deep in a side conversation for 5+ minutes before acknowledging us. None of it is egregious on its own. Together it adds up to a place that's oddly off, like someone described a good café to a developer who had never actually been to one. The potential is visible. The follow-through isn't there yet. read more

Alright, first off the cultural decor was immaculate. The well lit open space drew me in immediately, even though the line was almost out the door (get that business). As I was waiting for my order, I offered a little advice to the baristas/manager (if I have the title wrong I apologize) to ensure no future missed opportunities in selling more of the popular coffee drinks. I was nervous in even sharing BUT it's my neighborhood and this space is lovely. The incredible response from the staff behind the bar was awesome, and well received. They ensured I felt heard, and provided high-level customer service. Great energy & my folks LOVED the pistachio croissants & Macchiato! Oh - please let the team know the Pistachio Latte w/ Oatmilk was لَذيذ !! Keep supporting one another, and bringing together the community. read more

Nice ambiance I feel like some of the drinks taste the same on the menu. The cake was delicious.

Love love love this location and their amazing staff! My friend and I were craving a tasty dessert and drink to go with it, so I couldn't wait to come here! Upon entering you see an area to pick up your items, a little further down is the cash wrap. There's a screen located behind the counter where you can see their specials, as well as a large menu and display with desserts. We settled on the adeni rose chai, tres leches, and basbousa. Loved every item and I cannot wait to come back! Not only is the seating area spacious but they also have a prayer room (hello, inclusivity)! They have meeting rooms available for rent as well ($10 an hour) and a spacious seating area for family and friends. BTW, the area is absolutely gorgeous. Definitely better than Starbucks, and they also have their own Qamaria merchandise! Would I recommend? 100%. There's ample parking too, which is always a bonus. Bring your friends and enjoy! read more

Amazing addition to Laurel. Did I read it correctly that they are coming to Columbia as well? Because that would be amazing. I ordered the Pistachio and Qamaria coffee. I really enjoyed the cold pistachio latte. It tasted really good. The Qamaria coffee was good too, but next time I might try it iced. The décor is great, and the space is very spacious, cozy, and inviting. I would definitely come back just to hang out, relax, or maybe get some work done. The only downside is that the process it's not very efficient. They were backed up, yet there were several employees just standing around. I think since they're new, they haven't developed an efficient workflow yet. There is a lot of room for improvement here. read more

I think this place is just what this shopping center in Laurel needs! It's a beautiful restaurant with really great drink options. I went on the day of their grand opening so I waited in line for about 45 mins which felt less than that because they gave us free samples of their honeycomb cake and coffee in the line. They have a lot of staff behind the counter so they are pretty efficient! They were out of the crème brûlée latte but I'll have to be back for it. So instead I got the Adeni chai latte and that was really well done and nicely spiced. We grabbed a few pastries and I regret not buying a full slice of the honeycomb cake because it was decently moist and sweet. We got the biscoff tres leches (which was pretty good, just less dense than I was expecting), the San Sebastián cheese cake, the meat manoush, and spinach pie. The spinach pie was not my favorite because it was tart inside and just spinach, rather than a cheesy spinach sort of thing. The meat manoush made up for it but could've been bigger. All in all, I'd definitely come back for the drinks and for a nice place to chat with friends. read more

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee - Bakeries Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

The space is beautiful and spacious, the staff are nice, and I liked what I tried. I waited in line for about 10 minutes before reaching the register (this was to be expected as it was only their second day open and this spot already went viral). When I got to the front, the cashier told me they needed a 5 minute break (I assume to give the baristas a breather on orders/to catch up) and I didn't mind this. The manager spoke with me for a few minutes while I waited and even showed me the meeting room. It's $10 an hour to rent and $5 for a half hour. Chicken croissant was good but like your typical deli sandwich but the banana peppers were a unique touch. I liked the honeycomb bread a lot. I think that may be my go to pastry when visiting there. They accidentally made my matcha hot at first but quickly made another one iced and they made it just how I like it, so it was perfect. I fear this place will see me often. read more

I've tried their Qamaria Iced Caramel Macchiato and their Kouign Amann croissant! I especially enjoyed the caramel macchiato and the interior decor because the coffee is nicely sweet and comes with double espresso; the interior is filled with warm colors, and stylish ornaments. The space is medium sized and clean. Customer service is good. Parking is easy. Qamaria walks a fine line between 5 and 4 stars. Because I had such a pleasant, smooth dine-in experience, I will give them 5 stars and look forward to more 5s on future visits. Overall, I'd recommend! read more

Amazing. This shop is gorgeous. I loved the busyness of it all. Groups hanging out talking, friends catching up over a cup of coffee, employees on their laptops, teenagers listening to their headphones......it made me feel cozy and comfortable. They have a wide selection of coffees, teas and refreshers. Pastries, Cakes and muffins. Beautifully decorated and bright. The staff were all happy with smiles on their faces. You could tell that they really enjoy their jobs. Jose was amazing with the coffee art......flowers, animals and a specially made latte with my name and music notes on it. How exciting! I love this place. Enjoy! read more

This is a coffee shop redefining your coffee experience. Everything at Qamaria is elevated. From the coffee selection to the seating and the beautiful prayer room. If you are a remote worker this a perfect place to work and keep you motivated. The staff are really nice. I can't wait to spend time here during Ramadan next year God willing. I'm impressed by the overall flavor of the beverages. I enjoyed the Aden Shai lattee, an elevated black tea. It was delicious, I am more of a coffee girl but didn't want to drink espresso so late at night. They are open late and expect it to be full of people. There is plenty of parking available. read more

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee - Bakeries Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Hired an employee at an agreed rate to help through their opening rush. Once that employee got them through it, they were told to accept a pay cut to minimum wage or leave. They didn't accept, and were let go. Whatever the financial reasoning, locking someone into a rate, leaning on them through the hardest stretch, then changing the deal once you've gotten what you needed isn't how you treat people who helped you survive. I won't be spending here again, not after finding out how they treat the people behind the counter. read more

Adorable place. Very clean. Service was friendly. Ordered the Marib iced coffee, which was iced coffee with cardamom and other spices (no milk/cream) and the honeycomb pastry (basically a cluster of rolls filled with cream cheese and topped with honey and sesame seeds- delicious)! read more

Very beautiful inside, with meeting rooms and a prayer room. The place was packed when I arrived but still spacious that it did not feel over crowded. I ordered the iced versions of their trademark coffee and the tea as well. Both were nice and cardamom heavy. They let me choose the sugar percentage as well which I appreciated. I'm not the biggest fan of cardamom so I will try something different next time, however the food, ambiance, and service was excellent. I will be back. Thank you for coming to Laurel! read more

This cafe is for the coffee lovers. If you think Starbucks is good coffee , this isn't for you. For the experienced coffee drinkers, this place is outstanding . The Qamaria latte is infused with cardamom, cloves and cinnamon! Just smooth with every sip! The staff is welcoming and the ambiance is beautiful! read more
