    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.

    Mango Mojito
    Antora S.

    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.

    Pumpkin Pie latte
    Reyana K.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Found on YELP! What a beautiful shop! Our family of 4 wanted an experience. We all ordered drink and picked our unique desserts Turkish coffee presentation was charming Service was warm and friendly We loved the delightful flavors

    Turkish Coffee
    Ron F.

    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!!!

    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.

    Treats and coffee!

    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!

    Milk cake
    John B.

    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.

    Pistachio latte and almond croissant
    Aubrey L.

    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

    Spanish latte
    Kali C.

    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!

I went all in with the Chicken Pot Pie Soup, Mama's Meatball sandwich with peppers, and a bag of Zapp's Hot Pepper chips--because moderation is for people who don't love flavor. The Chicken Pot Pie Soup? Well, let's just say it leaned more "cream of chicken" than "pot pie." The crusty topping... I'm not sure what sorcery that was, but it had the texture of something between a crouton and a pulverized Ritz cracker that lost its way. Not bad, just... confusing. cracker The Mama's Meatball, though, stole the show. Delicious, saucy, and stacked like it's proud of itself. The peppers gave it just the right kick. And Zapp's chips? Always a chaotic good choice. Overall, great lunch, great company, and a reminder that Potbelly still knows how to make comfort food without overcomplicating it. Would I come back? Absolutely. Just maybe I'll skip the soup--or bring a pie crust of my own next time.

I had the Spicy Sicilian Sub and my wife had the Smokey Jack Panini. Both came with some really good chips. Both sandwiches were excellent and are something we'd order again. BONUS - the man who took our order explained that our orders also included FREE ICE CREAM. They have a self-service, soft ice cream machine near the salad bar with vanilla, chocolate and swirl ice cream - available in a dish or a cone. Nice bonus.

I stopped by, it was early in morning, the place was empty, I saw couple of deliveries people picking up their food, the staffs was friendly, I read over the menu, I actually forgot what I ordered, because this review is way past due, maybe 3 weeks past due. But I do remember is one of them combo But first thing first, the two ladies behind the counter is really nice and friendly, I love dealing with an adult instead of those younger generation that don't care for their customers, just show up for their paycheck, if you know what I mean. Lady that serving me asked if I need some suggestion or help for recommendations, very nice and friendly. I ordered (once again I can't remember the name). The sandwich itself is very good, came with side of fruit as you can see on my photo, like I mentioned before, is a good healthy lunch, not too big of the portion. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because couple of my grapes gone bad, they should have checked and take them out before serving to the customer. Because they claim they make the orders when it comes in, so the kitchen should have spot it Overall, definitely recommend and will go back

The ambiance was definitely vibey and perfect for socializing, with a lively atmosphere that fit our group of 13 well. Unfortunately, everything after the hostess stand went downhill on the service side. Our server felt disengaged from the start and rarely checked on us. It was hard to tell if we'd said something wrong or if he was just having an off night, but even after asking other staff members to send him over, he never came back to check on our table. With automatic gratuity already added for a large party, it was disappointing to experience such minimal attention and care. What I had: * Mediterranean Salmon (shared): The portion split felt more like 75/25 than an even share, which was a little odd for something asked to be split. The salmon itself was decent, but the hummus quickly overpowered the dish if you mixed everything together. * Teriyaki Ribeye: I requested medium rare and received a steak well past well-done, dry enough that it was basically inedible. It almost tasted like it had been reheated rather than freshly cooked. Since our server never checked in, I had to flag someone else down to get it replaced, and the remake took about 15 minutes to arrive--even though the cut was thin and already marinated. * Old Fashioned: The cocktail came out quite watered down, with very little depth of flavor. I would've asked for it to be remade, but again, our server was nowhere to be found. The bar program also felt surprisingly limited for a place that leans into a social, cocktail-forward vibe, which added to the letdown. Between the uneven service, lack of follow-through, and several misses on the food and drinks, it's hard to say I'd rush back--especially when there are so many other strong options in Columbus.
