    So yum! Nice clean, new space with lots of gold decor. Good selection of drinks and treats and the biscoff latte was dreamy! The regular latte had so Much foam I was in heaven. It was definitely a worthwhile trip and staff was sweet and accommodating.

    Wonderful! My second day here in a row, and consistent food and great service! Today I had the Saudi coffee- it has saffron and cardamom! Phenomenal, you don't have it with cream. This time, I had the pistachio tres leche! So so good, the honeycomb is as amazing as yesterday! Thank you Mariah and Limar! This place just gives off peaceful relaxing vibes! And deeply spiritual if you want it to be. You can hear music in the background in Arabic about the Divine, and the love for all people all creatures

    Cookie butter latte and Nutella croissant

    Amazing!! This place has been going viral and for good reason and I'm so happy I got to stop by and sit in to do some work! Yemeni coffee is delicious and the lotus latte was so good. It definitely has a distinction from other coffees like Colombian or Arabian. Shibam also does the cookie butter latte so well and it actually tastes just like biscoff and not like artificial syrup! They have such yummy looking pastries too. Lots of seating and natural lighting which made it a great stop to get some studying done and the staff were so nice and welcoming.

    Another new Yemeni coffee place in Latham! So exciting! I love the smooth coffee drinks. I tried a hot Shibam Coffee Latte. It was delicious with ginger, cardamom and cinnamon. I also tried a Sabaya bread. A flaky croissant like bread that's served with honey. Very nice ambiance here too.

    @shibamalbany: The 518's First Yemeni Coffee Shop! I have to start by saying that the owners of Shibam are some of the most humble and genuine people I have ever met in my life You can truly feel the love and hard work they've poured into this space the moment you walk through the door Without exaggeration, this is hands-down the most incredible food and coffee I have EVER experienced. It is officially my new favorite spot for coffee and pastries Here's the lineup you HAVE to try: Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake & Chocolate Baklava (Literally heaven on a plate ) Milk Cakes in every flavor imaginable--the best I've ever had, period Sweet & Savory Pastries- from decadent chocolate-filled croissants to the creamiest spinach pastries you've ever tasted Cookie Butter Latte- The espresso is strong, the flavors are perfectly balanced and it is out of this world Not a coffee drinker? The Shibam Royal Mango Smoothie and their Refreshers are absolute game-changers! And the kids? They have the most incredible hot chocolates! Words really cannot describe how amazing this experience was- you honestly just have to try it for yourself Support local, support amazing people and go treat yourself! #Shibam #YemeniCoffee #518Food #LathamNY #SupportLocal

    Shibam Latte and Honeycomb dessert
    Jamel M.

    I love when a flavored latte tastes like the flavor it advertises. The signature Shibam latte is described as follows: organic Yemeni espresso and steamed milk, sweetened with honey and infused with aromatic Yemeni spices. It has the properties of what I'm usually looking for in a dirty chai latte; a great balance of flavor from the espresso and creaminess from the milk without losing the bite and complexity of the added spaces. Shibam does this very well. The honeycomb pastry was a sweet but not-too-sweet accompaniment. I will be back regularly.

    Clean, beautiful place. One small pistachio latte = $11. Won't be back for those prices.

    Professor Java's was one of the first businesses I reviewed on Yelp. But shame on me for not…read morefollowing up when their Wolf Rd. site closed. I didn't realize they had reopened until I saw them next to the relocated Penzey's. Hooray! Two things I miss from the old location are the ability to buy coffee beans, and the more eclectic layout. No worries about the beans these days. Their new site is a much more regular layout, but it's more than adequately compensated by a very relaxed and cozy atmosphere, with more space behind the counter to prepare foods. And that counter holds a lot of other confections as well. Their regular coffee is a bit mild, but there's so many other options if you want to vary your coffee's strength and flavor. I liked the variety of teas available too (mostly hot, but some iced). Service is attentive, and your orders come out quickly. This remains a great alternative to other fast food options along Wolf Rd.

    Class is in session!…read more I needed to find my morning Java fix while in Albany and Professor Java's Coffee Sanctuary was just the spot for my coffee education. Walking in, this spot is a mad scientist lab. Large roasters are front and center, this isn't a classroom but a coffee laboratory! Nice folks behind the counter greeted me each morning as I placed my order. The roast on their coffee had me coming back daily. You might say it was my (pinkie to lip) Coffee Sanctuary?? Professor Java? You earned that title, I enjoyed my daily visits.

The sitting space if I'm being honest is kind of tight with chairs backed up against the display divider for the line/counter ordering area. The benches up against the wall opposite counter are beautiful and force good posture. There were also some window spots I'd definitely aim for next time. The counter person was delightful no complaints. Explained the drinks and didn't rush us. We came later morning on Saturday, most of the bakery items were sold out. But what we got was amazing, a nice mixture of scones, perfection. I appreciated the mixture of small morsels, it included flavors that I would not have tried otherwise. I got a cream brûlée latte as suggested classic with a hint of sweetness, standard with double shot of espresso. My wife got a mocha variety definitely much richer. The art on top was also a nice highlight. As other reviews mentioned prices were not listed but this is definitely a specialty place so expect a higher price than a pump your own coffee express station. But also I rather give my money to a local place than a huge mass marketed place thats serving half the quality.

I don't know if it's a placebo effect but everything I've ever purchased at FFF has been phenomenal. Knowing the produce is grown on the premises makes it taste better? It could sway my opinion to a more positive direction but there is no arguing with the sweetness of freshly picked sugar snap peas. I started snacking on them on the drive home and could barely stop myself. The clean earthiness of small beets, small enough to leave the skins on and roast them. Tastes like clean dirt. Love that. There was also a varietal of bok choy. Salt, olive oil, oven for a few minutes. That...just that...was dinner. It's a weird thing to taste how far away I've come from locally grown food; to have my tastes muted by a commercially grown industry. FFF food is like coming home to where we belong.

    I knew nothing about this place when my wife suggested for a surprise lunch on a Saturday…read moreafternoon, and we had to rush over as they have limited hours. It was cold and raining outside and I was happy to get out of it and relax. Sadly, I quickly found out her surprise involved eating outside under a tent in the cold and rain on a November day. Sigh. At least they had blankets on the benches. We ordered in the far tent and the menu board was both helpful (it listed everything in each entree, including onions) and annoying (it indicated no substitutions were allowed, including onions). Not to be deterred, I picked the pepperoni pizza with hot honey, basil and Calabrian chili peppers. My wife ordered the Margherita pizza. Both were ready in about 15 minutes, but upon delivery to our table it became clear that a couple of things were off. First, my wife's pizza was cold and mine was pipping hot. Second, mine had so much basil- which in places was left in 2-3 leaf bunches- that perhaps they just cleaned out the pantry for the last order of the day. The crust in spots were burned, but I could live with that. However, it was so floppy that it couldn't be picked up under any condition. Everything but the outer inch of crust was like a thin wet tortilla. And their plastic cutlery wasn't up to the challenge, ripping the pizza toppings off and turning my pizza into a casserole. That being said, the flavors were wonderful on my pizza. The hot honey made for a really tasty flavor balance, and the copious amounts of curling pepperoni were a nice change of pace from the cheap stuff. The peppers were good too, and I wish I could source some locally. My wife's pizza was okay, though the whole mozzarella clumps reminded of dollops of Ricotta and they were very cold as if they were added after baking. Odd. I don't mind paying for expensive pizza if it is good. I am also not a pizza snob and will gladly eat subpar pizza. But, to overpay ($26 for mine alone) for pizza that is just a mess in a cardboard box rubs me the wrong way. The same goes for buying ($24) a cold pizza. The dessert we ordered was a Paris-Brest, and being a choux fan I absolutely loved it. Delicious with hints of coffee, almonds, nuts, and some flavorings I couldn't place, I would quickly come back here just for that. As for their pizza, I just don't know. On a nice pleasant day it would be fun, but too many mistakes on our pizzas makes me leery of ordering them again for those prices.

The tea was wonderful and our lunch items came quickly and were tasty. We asked to keep a menu, explaining we would like to get dessert after. Once we we received our lunch food, it quickly went downhill. We never saw our waitress again after that. My son finished his Boba tea and wanted another, but our waitress never came over to check on us. We sat for over 40 minutes after we recieved our initial order and not one waitstaff came over to ask if we wanted anything else, nor did they come over to give us the check. After giving up hope of dessert and more tea, we eventually went to the front counter to pay since we realized no one was coming to give us the bill. Normally, I would understand if it was understaffed or busy- yet the two parties next to us had waitstaff come over numerous times. We were literally ignored. We won't be back and I do not recommend.

The tender moist beef slices on a roll were very good. The Ginger dressing on the salad was flavorful, and I wish I could buy it to elevate salads at home. We enjoyed the Red Bean Ice Cream which is creamy with tidbits of bean. Outstanding. Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient! Ambiance is relaxed which was welcome after shopping on Wolf Road. And the bucket chairs are so comfortable.
