I stopped by here not expecting much with my wife after a doctor's appointment and wow knocked it out the park! Very delicious, high quality, and pretty awesome laid back environment I'd recommend! read more

Overall: a cute place and concept( pretty expensive and hot or miss food ---- My number one gripe is that there were no prices on any of their items in their display case for food and desserts. How are people supposed to know how much things cost? If here is enough room to have the name of the product on it, it's not hard to put the number of dollars it costs right there next to it. I hateeeee when coffee shops do this! The coffee was an iced pistachio latte for $8.50, and various food items that we had no idea the totals until charged for the bill, I don't remember the exact number but I was kind of shocked at the total price of everything which I think was high $30s-40s? The interior was super cute with their red chairs and their story concept on the walls. The seats were comfortable and it was pretty crowded in the coffee shop with students and people working on their laptops. The food wasn't that good. For the prices we paid I kind of expected more, especially from that chicken roll item. The chicken was very dry and the flavors were lacking. It tasted like something you can get frozen from the stores that you just microwave or air fry.I enjoyed the cheesecake, but I didn't really like the pistachio milk cake, it tasted Joe they just mixed their milk solution with pistachio pudding powder (based off of the to bright/unnatural green color of it) and didn't flavor it with any real pistachio nuts. I enjoyed the coffee as well however I feel that the prices of everything was expensive especially when we didn't even know the prices of 3/4 of the things we purchased. I understand that we can ask how much each thing cost but how annoying would it be to ask about every single one. It would be very annoying and such a hassle for the cashier too. On the plus side parking is easy bc it shares it in a pretty big plaza. Another upside is that it's close to a ton of good food options in that area as well. ---- Overall: I wouldn't be back, expensive, don't know the price of their food bc none of it is listed out, and the food is hit or miss, interior decor is very cute tho read more

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee - Pistachio ice coffee and saffron cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Absolutely loved this coffee spot. As soon as I walked in it felt so peaceful. It was very nice, welcoming, and bright. Music was playing, and it was just a nice ambiance, very cute decor, loved the couches. They have tables as well. I had no clue what to order, ended up selecting the Oat-milk Pistachio Latte, and baby it was Fantastic. I will most definitely be revisiting this location. A Tip for you is to signup for the points. Get those rewards. Tip #2 After 7pm they have a time limit for seating. By the way, the staff was helpful. read more

My iced Qamaria latte tasted better than I had expected it to be! I liked the balance of sweetness, coffee strength, and spices. It seems like they've got the recipe down to satisfy as many palates as possible haha, you can't go wrong with this drink. There was a long line, but it moved fast. Staff worked quickly to accommodate the influx of customers (it got crowded and stuffy in there!). The friendly gentleman who took my order was informative and seasoned in customer service. We also tried a few of the sweet treats. The pistachio milk cake and baklava were delicious. Brownie cookie and rose milk cake were decent. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Decor was a mix of modern, tropical, and ethnic, which was cool. Parking in the lot was free when we went there, even though there were empty booths surrounding the lot. Might have been used in the past, maybe. read more

What a beautiful place to have dessert and a coffee or tea. Lots of people were studying there but we enjoyed hanging out. The cakes were good, but didn't taste that much like the flavors of the cakes. Lotus biscoff milk cake and Pistachio cheesecake. Would try something else next time. Rose Adeni- could taste the cardamon and rose, but not sure if I liked the combo. read more

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

This cafe is beautiful. It's not as large as their other location in Rancho Cucamonga, but that doesn't affect my time spent here. They still offer the same sweets and drinks. The cakes and Turkish coffee are the stand out items on the menu. My favorite is the rose milk cake and the Qumaria and rose lattes. Everything is really good though. What stands out at this location is the hospitality and customer service. I've never experienced a more welcoming or generous exchange as I have here. I've had at least 2 instances that stood out that made me feel better about the world. read more

Qamaria is a really great new addition near UCR, especially since there wasn't really a café spot like this in the UV area before. It's super spacious, which makes it perfect for students to study or just switch up their usual environment. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the overall vibe is really relaxing, calm, and modern, making it a nice place to hang out or get work done. The inside also feels very intentional and tells a story about their culture, with details in the design and decor that make the space feel more meaningful rather than just another café. It gives the place a unique identity that stands out. The workers are really nice, which made the experience feel even more welcoming. I got the matcha latte with a pump of pistachio syrup, and I do wish the matcha came through a bit stronger while still being able to taste the pistachio more clearly. The idea of the combo is really good though, especially if you like nutty flavors mixed with matcha. I also gave in to the Dubai chocolate pistachio trend and tried their Dubai cheesecake, and surprisingly, it was one of the best cheesecake flavors I've had. It was rich, creamy, and super flavorful, and honestly disappeared in seconds. The only downside is the price, since it's around $8-$9, which feels a bit high for a slice of cheesecake, but I still think it was worth trying at least once. It's a solid café with a great study-friendly space and some really interesting drinks and desserts, especially if you're into pistachio flavors. read more

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee - Matcha Latte with Pistachio syrup, shot of coffee, & Dubai cheesecake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

At first glance, this place is intriguing. Once you walk in, you immediately enjoy its Arab-inspired charm. It's warm and inviting no wonder it's always busy. Picking a drink from the menu is pretty easy. I had their pistachio latte overpriced, but oh-so-tasty! You get a pager, so when your order is ready, it will buzz. I also purchased a Dubai chocolate they had for sale for $10, but honestly, it wasn't worth it. The baristas are focused and professional, though I wish they were a bit more engaging with customers and really drew you in. Parking can be tricky since it's in University Village it's always packed with so many businesses. You've been warned! read more

My first impression of this coffee shop located in University Village was that' it's popular!! At 4 p.m. on a Tuesday it was completely packed except for one seat (mine, thank you). My second impression was that it was beautifully decorated, with good lighting both overhead and natural, comfortable seating options (stools, chairs and cushiony pretty couches), clean bathrooms (ask for the code), and best of all the staff. I happened to mention that it was my first time visiting and the gentleman (perhaps the owner?) thanked me for coming and generously offered my a free pastry! I chose the pistachio baklava to accompany my hibiscus refresher. He was so friendly and nice. After paying, you get a pager that buzzes when your order is ready, which arrives on a beautiful tray to carry to your table. I appreciated the two large containers with ice water for self-serve to supplement your hydration at the front counter. The pistachio baklava (5/5) were crispy and flaky on the outside dense with pistachio goodness on the inside and well soaked in honey--high quality, delicious, some of the best I've tasted. The hibiscus refresher at 100% sweetness was refreshing and just right. ( you can ask for less sweetness as you like). About an hour later, I realized that my phone only had 10% charge left and I had neglected to bring a charger with me. Here I was in a cafe full of college students, most of whom had chargers on display (but clearly using them), so I chanced going up to the front and Ranaa if she could do me an unusual favor? Without hesitation, she offered to lend me her charger. So kind and above and beyond! I returned it to her a half hour later and she simply smiled and said she was glad to be of help. Wow . I really enjoyed my leisure reading today, even more so because this cafe was so hospitable. If I lived closer I'd be here all the time! As it is, I will return when I can! read more

I love coming here to get my coffee/dessert treat afterward a meal. This is a busy spot since a lot of UCR students come to study here. Depending on the time of day, you might not find a spot to sit in inside. There are a lot of employees working so it's pretty quick to get your drinks, but I have had to wait about 20 minutes during the busy rushes. I typically get an oat milk pistachio iced latte. It's not very strong in coffee flavor, as the pistachio cream flavor dominates, but it's still very tasty. It's sweat and creamy. I would suggest adding an extra shot of espresso or doing less pistachio cream since the price is already $8 and change. The other coffee I really like is the Turkish coffee. If you've never had Turkish coffee before, keep in mind that it's a bolder flavor and that it's a small portion. There's something for everyone here so I highly recommend stopping by. read more

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee - Pistachio latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

This is definitely one of my favorite coffee shops in Riverside. I love the pistachio one. The customer service is always on point. And the atmosphere is nice and relaxing. Perfect to hang out with friends or read a book. read more

There is a good reason why this location is always so packed out! The kindness, drinks, snacks, ambiance, and attention to detail are truly unmatched in any other cafe. My go to orders have been the Qamaria Latte or the Adeni, a little less sweet for both. They are always consistent and well caffeinated. Their refreshers, although on the pricier side, are amazing as well if you are opting out of caffeine. They taste fresh while not being too sweet. I highly recommend their saffron milk cake; I always look forward to this treat. The cream on top compliments the milky cake so well, and the subtle saffron flavor is just not found elsewhere. Many cafes have good drinks or food, but Qamaria Yemeni, with their attention to detail and kindness, have truly set themselves apart. Nearly every table has an outlet, and there is a greatly appreciated range of seats and tables to choose from to match your party size and goal. Each time I come, the person helping me has always been attentive and patient. Love love love this cafe! read more

YALLA HABIBI LETS GO GET OVERPRICED PISTACHIO LATTEEEEES!?!? look growing up in an arab household normalized absurd amounts of caffeine after 8pm, so late night turkish/bedoin coffees always surrounded me. did i hate black coffee as a kid? yea. do i require massive amounts of sugar and cream in my coffee as an adult? yea. BUT I KNOW WHAT QUALITY COFFEE IS, AND QAMARIA TRULY DOES IT. if you want to taste the true essence of coffee without whatever murky obscurity western coffee culture made us think coffee should be, here is it. THE SPICES, THE RICHNESS, THE DARK ROAST.... ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. the San'aa is my absolute favorite bc of the cardamom and cinnamon UGH (and yes i request cream and sugar bc i can do what i want--) the lattes are wonderful too if ur a starbucks girly, that pistachio latte doesn't taste like fake labubu dubai chocolate neon green white chocolate cream.... ACTUALLY PISTACHIOS YALL. also im RUNNING for that date latte WHEN I CATCH U QAMARIA WHEN I CATCH U-- don't. get me started. on the BISCOFF. THAT BISCOFF MILK CAKE / TRES LECHES??!?!? DUDE. i'm a broke college student and i WOULD pay 11 bucks for that slice. it's my regular ugh im already salivating also any qamaria is Arab central. if u wanna find ur habibi, bring ur teta here to ask the barista behind the counter for her hand in marriage. easy enough duh. read more

I came to try the coffee and treats w my 3 year old for a girls day. I had the iced pistachio latte and we got a slice of coffee cake. My daughter liked the cake so much she said "can I have this for my birthday, a whole cake!" And the gentlemen at the counter saw her eyes light up at this beautiful drink w strawberry and dragon fruit (I think) and he gifted one for her she loved it. The drink was delicious as well. We'll be back again! The place itself is very clean and busy but the service is still very good. read more

Coffee was ok. It wasn't my cup of tea. The service was excellent though and they are very friendly. Place is very clean.

We came at the perfect time as there was no line and were greeted warmly. It was around 6:15pm and were able to grab a table for the 3 of us. Place is nice and clean. Lots of outlets for working/ studying. It was a bit noisy but not overtly loud. Here's what we ordered. Mango cheesecake: 7/18 not bad but not amazing. Needed more mango flavor. Maybe add puree in the mix. Biscoff tres leches cake: 8/10 not sweet if that's what you're looking for. I would have liked it to be a bit more wet and would have liked the topping to be thicker as the ratio seemed a bit off. Mocha coffee add cold foam: 8/10 I liked it. It isn't worth 9+ dollars for a small size. I would never order this again for the price. Also, they don't make their syrups on house. Only the brown sugar is what I was told. Pistachio late: 7/10 again 9+ dollars and not worth the price. Matcha late: haven't tasted yet. Brought home for tomorrow. We spent nearly $50.00 for 3 drinks and two desserts. Would we come back to try other things. Maybe, but not worth the costs. If you are going to charge premium pricing, please make your syrups / sauces. The brand of syrups visible are the same ones that klatch and other places use. But 8-9+ dollars for a small coffee, no thank you. If it was to go meet a friend and hand out, maybe. read more

Idk what took me so long to come try this coffee shop out but I am glad I finally stopped by. I love the ambiance of the shop it's super cute and I love the fact that it sticks to the og Yemeni coffee house culture with a modern twist. For all the coffee freaks out here Yemen is where coffee originated from and this shop will give you a taste of just that. Their coffee is super delicious. We ordered a pistachio latte, Mufawaar, rose milk cake, and a chicken rollup thingy that I forgot the name of it was all very delicious. They also gave us some baklava and another coffee to try and wow I was impressed with the level of customer service really nice and welcoming staff. The coffee is so fresh and I love that they grow their own beans in Yemen It doesn't get more authentic than this. You definitely have to come give this shop a try. I do suggest coming during the weekday right before lunch as it seems like that's their slower time but I could be wrong. I am definitely coming here more often. read more

Riverside's Best Coffee You will find a refreshing authenticity when you visit Qamaria. It's showcasing its history of coffee, the flavor profiles for their signature drinks, and their delightful pastries. Given how we are used to donuts and danishes, you'll find pistachio baklava, sabaya, honeycomb pastry, and even Oreo cheesecake. Everything is so unique, it creates a spin on traditional cafes. The cafe is very clean, beautifully decorated and cozy. The large windows provide bright light that creates a cheery atmosphere, it's easy to stay here comfortably. The employees are kind and quick, they are very responsive to one's needs and make the experience all the better. I highly recommend this cafe to anyone who would like to try another culture's catalog of tea and coffee. You will become a regular like myself. read more

What an absolute delight seeing this on my Yelp when in Riverside where there really isn't much options for anything good it seems. I've had Qamaria in their other location in the OC and I've always loved everything the have. Specially the Aden Shai which is Milk tea with cardamom and their own touch of magic. I got a medium sized pot of that and just enjoyed everything sip of it. I've had their desserts and other sweets before at the other location and it never disappoints.

Crazy thing happened--like I said in my last review, I was definitely coming back, and tonight I did! I had been raving about this spot to my friend, so I had to bring them along. They wanted to try all the milk cakes, and wow did we go all out. We got rose, Biscoff, caramel, saffron, pistachio, and even coconut, which was kindly gifted to us by the owner. Such a sweet and thoughtful gesture! We were beyond excited, and honestly, so was the staff--it felt like they were just as happy as we were to see us dive into everything. I can't emphasize enough how much I love this place. I even grabbed one of their pistachio chocolate bars to take home. It reminded me of those Dubai chocolates, but their version was even more delicious! We paired the milk cakes with Adeni milk tea, which was the perfect compliment. When the cakes came out, they looked so stunning that the table next to us couldn't stop laughing along with us--we basically had a full-on cake tasting session and were unapologetic about it. Truly the gift that keeps on giving. read more

Very cute interior w/ people studying & catching up w/ loved ones. I could see myself visiting the other locations in the future. We tried the iced pistachio & Qamaria lattes. Both were delicious. They were on the sweeter side but still very good & didn't give any headaches. The desserts were ok, but not something I would eat on my own. They also had cute gold cups for people dining in for tea. On a side note, bathroom is password protected, so give them your business & you won't be disappointed. read more
