My first time to Shibam. Makes me wish I lived in Ohio. My iced latte was so delicious. I think it was the house latte. My mom got a flavored one with spices and she loved hers as well. The two ladies behind the counter helped us navigate the menu and choose the right drinks. We also chose a macaron shaped like a teddy bear face. It was the best macaron I've ever tasted. Rich, chocolate, layers of flavor. We talked about our visit all week. I'm going back for sure the next time I'm in town. The bathrooms are so clean and the store has a nice bright appearance because of the mirrors and lights. Very pretty decor. Located at the corner of a busy intersection so I'm sure they get plenty of repeat customers. *Five photos attached read more

I can't give 5 stars because all I ordered was a pistachio iced latte, BUT that alone is a 5-star drink. The drive-through was quick, staff was friendly, and my drink looked pretty. I ordered my latte a little less sweet (because I did my yelp research first ). I don't like overly sweet coffee. It was perfect!!! Everyone raves about their pistachio latte, it's because they use real pistachio butter! It makes it rich and slightly salty (if you know, you know salt goes in sweet things). And they skip trying to make it like a "Dubai chocolate" drink, which makes it better imo with no chocolate. I'll be back for sure. read more

I cannot get enough of this coffee. The pistachio latte is amazing. The restaurant and bathrooms are stunning. The service is beyond kind and helpful. read more

Shibam Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Very beautiful inside. The staff was very friendly and a one of the staff member a man gave my husband a free sample of the Turkish coffee to try because he seen and heard my husband ask another customer how it was. So, that was really cool and nice of him to do. My husband likes dark coffee and this made him very happy. I tried the shibam latte and the honeycomb which were both absolutely delicious, very pleased. Can't wait to come back and try something new. read more

The Food looks amazing pastries all you can think of. The Service was good. This place is really nice and cozy . I had the pistachio latte

I came here with my friend Saturday after a bit of shopping. It was dirty inside. I ordered a couple pieces of cheesecake to go for my boyfriend and I. We both thought it tasted bad and funny. My boyfriend's had very hard, dense, almost non cuttable texture. You could taste they definitely had been sitting in the refrigerator for a while. We both wouldn't order again and did not enjoy. That is a lot for my boyfriend to say that. I ordered the salty springs latte. It was odd really. It came in a weird cup, very different than everybody else's. It had a whole just Ritz cracker sitting on top. I was very confused. I didn't know if that was the salty part or? You think they would crumble it up or something. But a Ritz cracker in a coffee?! It was amazing, but very sweet. My friend and I said we would be ok never going back. I think they do good work for the average consumer. But $25 for 2 normal, no enhanced modifications, substitutions or add ins and a bakery item is a bit crazy. I could go somewhere for much cheaper and enjoy it more. The staff wasn't very nice, they didn't seem happy. It definitely wasn't busy either. It's not like there was a long line. I think their location is perfect though!!! read more

Great place to come to hang out with friends/ family or to study/ work. I have been to this place couple of times and both time they were very clean. The service on the other hand is very slow. First time visiting this place, we were waiting on the staff to come out from the back for about 15 minutes. Both times, it took them about 15 to 20 minutes to prepare our order. The service is slow but the staffs are friendly. I love pistachio latte so wanted to try it and it did not disappoint. We wanted to try the honeycomb but they did not have it. We needed up ordering the Caramel milk cake, which was ok. The caramel part of the cake was a little bitter for my taste. We also ordered the mango mojito, which was good too. Overall, the type of food and vibe is like Qamaria, but this place has better décor. read more

I want to preface this by saying we've only been through the drive thru, but this is really good coffee. My husband really loves the pistachio latte. I opted for a pumpkin pie latte this time around, and it was fairly good! I will warn you, if you go through the drive thru, it is nearly impossible to understand what the person is saying through the speaker. They seemed to understand what we ordered though because it was correct and very delicious! I definitely want to stop by when I have more time so I can see the inside and enjoy the decor a bit more. Overall it is really good coffee! read more

Shibam Coffee - Pumpkin Pie latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Shibam Coffee is another new Yemeni coffee shop in a sea of new coffee concepts in Columbus (not that I am complaining - it's about time!). Located in a small strip mall, the interior is smaller than some of the other coffee shops around town, but it has warm vibes and is decorated well. I have tried several different drinks and pastries here, and my favorite by far is the Iced Spanish Latte. The service is steady, and they also have a drive-thru for those in a rush (or in their pajamas). Among all the new coffee concepts in Columbus, this underrated coffee shop definitely punches above its weight, and deserves some love. read more

This cafe was recommended by two friends. Today was my first visit. The recommendations were on point. The interior is brightly lit and there is ample seating. Orders are placed at the counter. The cafe staff were friendly and provided quick service. I eyed baked items in their display case, but on this visit I just ordered coffee. My coffee order was their Pistachio Latte. The drink had a great flavor. It was very smooth, with just the right level of sweetness. This was much better than other Pistachio Lattes I tried at the big name coffee shops. Like my friends, I recommend visiting Shibam Coffee. I will definitely return, and try some of their food items. read more

Hidden over by the circle K in Sancus Rd is a brand new Yeman organic coffee shop. Soft lit wicker lighting creates a peaceful mood upon the marble floors and lovely counter. soft music creates a tranquil place to relax and have a cup of coffee. They specialize in the traditional Yemen styled coffee (dark n strong) that comes on an ornate tray with a cezve (small handled coffee pot) and a fincan which is a covered espresso cup w/saucer. Not into authentic? (Imo: You should try it at least once. Quite good,) Today I tried their pistachio latte while my husband transported himself temporarily to Yemen, ordering the Yemen coffee- both experiences were fantastic. We also ordered a honeycomb pastry which is basically a triangle shaped of pastry that is textured similar to the inside of a bagel as it's stuffed with cream cheese and has honey sprinkled all over it. It's made up of small balls individually stuffed, and you tear them apart as the rounded portions are pretty much bite-size pieces. The honeycomb pastry as you go to at any Turkish place and this one was exceptional. As far as service,excellent and friendly. They even sent us home with a sample of their imported Yemen honey which truly is different (and better) than mist of the homeys here in the USA. We left relaxed and fully caffeinated. Ps. The pistachio latte... flawless. So good. read more

Best pistachio latte ever! Very cozy, very friendly and efficient staff. Great for meetings or meet ups.

Wow...this is now my go coffee house in the Polaris area. I can guarantee if you are a try coffee drinker, you will not be disappointed. We stopped in twice in their opening week. First time we sat in the beautiful dining/seating area. I enjoyed a Turkish coffee (brewed in a small, long-handled copper pot called a cezve and served with a fincan to drink). OMG...it was amazing. My wife got a pistachio latte and it was delicious. We shared a honeycomb and it was the best we have had in the area. We also got to try one of their teas and it was incredible. Our second visit was to use the drive thru. Loved the fact we ordered with an actual person and not some box with a speaker and mic. I got a Mufawar coffee. It was exceptional. They also have a case full of pastries and breakfast sandwiches. The service is incredible and the staff takes the time to prepare your order to perfection. They are very personable and polite. Interior is beautiful. It is amazing what they did to the space (old dry cleaner). Lot of comfortable seating. Also plenty of space to bring your laptop for remote work. I can't wait to stop back in and try some of their other coffees. Enjoy!!! read more

Really like this place. Would be four stars but the music can be loud sometimes. Makes it hard to relax

The pastries were alright. The service on the day we were there was rather poor. They had just opened and were obviously short staffed. The coffee was great. The ambiance was really unique and fun! read more

Shibam Coffee - Treats and coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

While it is embedded in Columbus's suburbia, the place certainly makes you think of the environment that it's trying to convey; based on the signage I looked up their namesake city in Yemen, and overall the atmosphere was strong. I had my eye on a slice of Dubai chocolate cake, a faddish but likely delicious creation, but there was only one left and the person in front of me in line took it. I was a little peeved, but they had a nice pastry selection, and I settled for a lotus cake soaked in milk, which I ultimately did not receive; they brought me a caramel flavored one instead for some reason. I didn't want to waste it and it looked appealing so I went ahead and ate it. Getting my chai unsweetened was probably a good health decision, but the spices felt a little lifeless and maybe some mild sweetening would have helped. Could have been a better experience, but still tasty and interesting at the end of the day. read more

Just came here for the first time and it was super nice. The place itself is cute and very clean. The workers were friendly and they have a full menu. I got the pistachio latte and almond croissant. The pistachio latte was 9/10. Delicious but a tad too sweet for me. I came here and read for a few hours and it was very nice and relaxing. Not too loud and they had classical music playing. I'll definitely be back soon read more

Shibam Coffee - Pistachio latte and almond croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

You'll know you came to the right place as soon as you walk in, the smells and decor are amazing! We came twice while we were visiting from out of town with friends. They've really decorated nicely. There is a lot of seating, enough for our group of 13 to sit and eat/drink. The pistachio latte is great if you don't mind anything sweet and the Spanish latte was a good traditional latte. The Turkish coffee was delish and presented perfectly. I highly recommend the baklava, I had it both days. The staff was kind and patient while we decided what we wanted. Will be back! read more

Must try!!!!! I had Shibam Coffee, Dubai Chocolate and some special mint drink that is not on menu. I was curious about the green concoction the owner was drinking and after he explained it, I said I wanted to try it- the owner obliged and although it would have been 'perfection' had he not charged me $9 for it as a gracious offering after I had already spent $22 on other items , the drink was delicious!!! This place is great for a date, studying, working, and business meetings. Cute, bright, clean aesthetic! Will be a regular! read more

Came here early weekday afternoon. The decor throughout was gorgeous. There are many tables varying from 2-4 seats. The booths have access to outlets. They have many tea, coffee, and non-caffeinated options. As well as non-dairy milk. They also have some pastries (the menu offers a lot, but - majority of the pastries were not available when I went). We ordered a Shibam coffee with oat, a Spanish latte, pistachio cheesecake, croissant egg and cheese sandwich, and a cheese and tomato fatayer. The pastries are good but don't taste the most fresh. Maybe it's because we went just after noon and not in the morning. The drinks were good. The shibam coffee has sediment in the bottom. The would recommend the Spanish latte if you want something more like an American latte establishment. This is a chain and this establishment is consistent with another one I've been to. read more

Shibam Coffee - Mufawar coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

You would never expect such a bougie interior at a coffee shop in a strip mall! The decor is nice and very on trend. With an atmosphere like that, I wasn't surprised to see so many people there hanging out on a Saturday afternoon. I've been hearing such good things about their coffee, I just had to pop in there and get a beverage. I got an iced pistachio latte. The wait time was a bit long, but it was worth the wait. OMG this was the best pistachio latte I've ever had!!! 100/10!!! The coffee beans they use have the most wonderful flavor! The coffee along with the pistachio sauce was just heavenly. Seriously amazing. I will get the larger size next time. The prices are pretty high, so this is not somewhere I will frequent. It will be an occasional treat. The regular iced pistachio latte was over $7, and the desserts were pretty expensive. Like my hubby asked how much a little square of pistachio baklava was, and they said $8. Yikes! Really it should be 4 stars because of the prices and the wait, but I had to give them 5 stars because the coffee is out of this world!!! read more

the place is pretty inside, i think i just got kind of confused on the vibe of the place. like i enjoy a little chatter while studying because it keeps me alert but it was crazy loud the day i went (which was like a thursday). there was a birthday too and the seats were so close that i was hearing the in depth conversation of a couple on their first date. i tried headphones but that made it worse. so sadly i had to leave with a headache and no drink. the staff seemed nice tho so head in if you are looking for a lively night cafe or if you are going on a first date and you don't want it to be too boring lol. read more
