Everything at Yemex is amazing. The coffee and espresso always made fresh and from selected beans, never has a bad taste. And the pastries, so unique and fresh, each having flavor combinations you wouldn't expect, and still being so impactful. Service is always speedy, friendly, and warm. And the space is so inviting, the atmosphere just makes you feel at home, allowing you to relax and enjoy your time in the cafe. read more

Finally made my way out here!! I ordered a good variety of items: 1) guava hibiscus lemonade 2) areekano 3) cafe de olla latte 4) seasonal cardamom date matcha 5) chorizo pinwheel 6) tomato, feta, and za'atar danish 7) berry and mint danish 8) chicken croissant with salsa macha 9) Guava danish The guava hibiscus lemonade and areekano were my favorites. I was pleasantly surprised by the areekano and the guava hibiscus lemonade was so refreshing. My fav pastries were the tomato, feta, and za'taar danish and the chicken croissant with salsa macha. Those are a MUST. So full of flavor! read more

Yemex is unique in that it has both elements of yemeni and mexican cultures. They have a ton of different pastries and drink options. There is seating with outlets, the cafe runs a bit cold, there is water, wifi, and restrooms too. Good place to study or do work. Service is friendly and fast with lots of workers. - Salted vanilla matcha: I liked the cold foam top more than I liked the matcha drink itself. The cream top is thick and fluffy, very salty. The drink I didn't enjoy as much since it tasted like a matcha I would make at home. - Salted dulce de leche latte: I enjoyed this one more! It has that same salty cold foam cream top and the latte itself has a caramel flavor. Nice space and I would return to try some pastries next time. read more

I enjoyed a tasty date cardamom horchata latte on a bustling Saturday morning. One of my friends recommended this place, which is a unique concept blending Yemeni and Mexican flavors. The latte itself was delicious with a great subtle date flavor, a truly unique drink which isn't easy to accomplish in Houston! There were also some tempting halal pastries and a local cookie pastry pop-up. It's great to see the store bring in local vendors even as a newer shop. The ambience of the cafe was pleasant and overall a cozy environment with a surprising amount of seating and table space. Blankets and board games are readily available. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a coffee and pastry fix, and I look forward to being back! read more

DELICIOUS!!!! This coffee shop is sooo prettyyyyy!!! I loved everything about it. I was here on a Sunday around 11am. It was so cozy and comfortable. So much parking!!

We had a salted vanilla matcha, strawberry matcha, and the maple beef pinwheel. Unfortunately both were underwhelming. There was barely any vanilla flavor and the matcha wasn't as high grade or strong as real matcha lovers might like. The strawberry matcha also had no strawberry flavor, it was literally just a strawberry on top? I didn't have high matcha expectations but they should maybe consider replacing these with non-coffee options like horchata which would make more sense for this coffee shop. I also expected more from the pastries and there weren't any yemeni/mexican fusion ones? That would have been really nice. You can only pick something either slightly yemeni, something mexican or something as random as maple beef pinwheel like i did. The pinwheel is exactly what you would expect but the flavors didn't go together as well as I had hoped. It didn't really make sense, although it was nice it was halal. Overall, a very cute cafe to work from during the weekday and good service. They also still had pastries available in the afternoon which is nice. The owners have worked very hard to try and make this something so i had high expectations and was disappointed. I would love to see some cool fusion combos in the drinks and pastries in the future, and hopefully their offerings will generally improve. read more

Yemex is a Yemeni and Mexican bakery and coffee house that opened up not too long ago. I'm so glad they have halal options! -The maple beef chorizo was good! Great sweet and savory option -Dulce de leche: a little bit on the sweeter side but still a creamy and delicious latte! Service was quick and staff were friendly. There is plenty of parking and the inside of the cafe is beautiful! Very nice decor and plenty of seating options. They have throw blankets on some of the chairs if you get cold. Noise level was low also so if you need to get some work done this is a great spot. read more

I ordered a guava danish and their salted dulce de leche iced latte. I also ordered a chocolate concha which was simple but delicious. But the star of the show was the guava danish which tasted super delicious, each bite I took was a whole different experience that I didn't want to end. Every sip I took from my coffee tasted so smooth and creamy. The customer service was amazing and the inside of the place was aesthetically pleasing. I will be back! read more

I've been eating yemex since they were just a pop up and I'm so so excited that they were able to start their own store!! And their drinks are amazing! I tried the cafe de olla- iced which I would actually recommend doing hot instead. But the guava matcha was soooo good!! Highly recommend. You cannot go wrong with any of their pastries but my favorite is definitely the mint berry for a sweet one. I also had the maple chorizo & the turkey & cheese with salsa macha. Everything super flavorful and well made. And it's been super popular since they opened a few weeks ago! Definitely get there early if you want pastries cause they ran out midday on a Saturday. (Which they're good about restocking but it takes time). The space is also super cute and the decor really captures both cultures very nicely. read more

My sister-in-law discovered this bake/coffeehouse on Instagram after seeing a reel of the owners' pastry drops. Since my SIL is a baker herself, I immediately was onboard when she told me about them opening a brick & mortar. This place is gorgeous! It's wonderfully located. And not only is it extraordinarily clean and perfectly tempered (it's on the cold side which I love), but the staff was continuously mopping as they handcrafted our beverages. They were HARD at work! My SIL ordered the Salted Dulce de Leche Latte with whole milk and she said it was really really good (4/5, would have been better without so much cold foam). She got the berry pastry and gave it a perfect score! My Cafe de Olla Latte was incredible (5/5)-- nothing I've ever had before! The spices and citrus were perfectly balanced and I could have downed three more of them, EASILY. It was perfect with oat milk. My cinnamon-coffee pastry was a hearty portion and quite delicious. The middle was a little dry but overall it was insanely tasty. The best part was that it wasn't too sweet & therefore it went perfectly well with the Latte! I hope the best for this business -- the product is spectacular so I hope the community shows up! What a unique fusion experience!! I would definitely revisit next time I'm in town. read more

Yemeni coffee culture meets Mexico. Husband and wife owned and their first brick and mortar bake house. Visited in the evening and no surprise it was busy. While there was a line it moved really quick. Cashier and baristas were friendly and moving quick. We got the Cafe de Olla Latte and a Salted Vanilla Matcha. Both were bursting with flavors and weren't overly sweet. Just my kind of indulgence. Everything is 100% Halal. Unfortunately they were out of the majority of the baked goods so didn't get to try any. But they looked good based on the few ahead who got the last servings & the options listed in the menu. The space is intimate where it can feel tight but there's plenty of seating. Highly recommend stopping by for a treat of specialty handcrafted and flavorful coffee, tea, lemonade or pastry or all of them. read more

My first exposures to Yemex were half each of a café de olla roll and a guava danish brought home as an afternoon snack. The execution and flavor profiles were so brilliant that I knew I had to go try it for myself! So on my way out to the K-spa in Katy, I dropped into Yemex for a quick breakfast on Sunday morning. The first thing I noticed when I entered was the calm, peaceful stillness of the café - you won't find noisy patrons or background music here, but feel free to bring your own headphones if you prefer to work or relax to some beats. The drink and food menu is quite unique; keeping with the unique fusion of Yemeni and Mexican flavors, you'll find cinnamon, date, sesame, za'atar, and tropical fruits woven through their selection of coffees, teas, and pastries. The servers offered to explain the menu to me but I already had my heart set on trying the date cardamom horchata latte and the turkey & cheese croissant, which were promptly prepared. My drink was well-balanced between creamy, spiced, and sweet notes, pairing perfectly with the flaky, savory croissant inflected with hearty salsa macha. I only stayed to finish my food and work on a few things, but I could easily see myself spending a whole afternoon here with a good book - next time I'm out this way I'll definitely have to stop by again! read more

busy shop. Small. Not too many seats. Interesting concept. Pastries were pretty good! Coffee was good. I have no complaints about taste and flavor. Overall good place. Would go again of I'm in the neighborhood read more

Such a warm and inviting spot. The variety of pastries is really great!!! Lots of sweet and savory. The cardamom twist was so amazing!! The almond croissant, lovely. The danish was our least favorite just because it lacked cheese flavor. Lots of honey. The areekalatte is amazing!!! Wrong ice though as the holes in the ice capture the great bits you are to drink with the drink. Don't mix. Drink as is for best taste they say and I agree. The date foam is just the best hint of sweetness. Really great place. Will for sure be back!! read more

Came here the week after Ramadan to try out their coffee and pastries. Everything I tried was really good and ambience is really nice too. Subtracting a star because while I was on the way there, they had posted on their IG story that they were out of pastries and another batch was proofing. I asked when I got there how long it would be, they said 1-1.5 hours later. After 1.5 hours passed, no pastries in sight. It took nearly 3 hours for the pastries to be put out and sold. Their demand definitely outweighs supply. read more

definitely a vibe when you walk in, I think the most exciting thing is waiting in line to see the pastry case! you can see what they are sold out of currently, and they work so hard to keep it going, doing a second bake so people can try and taste what they can when they are there. guava matcha is sooo good, umphhhh!!! spiced honey latte was also giving chai vibes - love it Basque cheesecake that also taste like chai salted dulce de leche was also very good! cafe de olla - hot is IMO better but you know iced coffee is always a vibe my next favorite thing is trying out all the pastries in the case, this place is super cute, mom and pop shop but feels luxurious with all the small details. plenty of parking - check their IG too! read more

Beef and potato croissant - 9.5/10 - So crispy and delicious paired with the hot sauce, but could use a bit more filling Maple beef churizo - 9.5/10 - Sweet and savory, had a good amount of filling but was a bit salty Guava danish - 8/10 - Perfect for those who love guava since it has a strong guava flavor Berry danish - 10/10 - Crispy with a creamy and lightly sweet filling Honey matcha - 9/10 - I got this with extra matcha so it was strong like i prefer Cafe de olla - 9/10 - I liked the cinnamony flavors, on the stronger/more bitter side rather than sweet Salted dulce de leche latte - 9/10 - Foam was so creamy and good, on the sweeter side Yemex is a Yemeni-Mexican fusion cafe and has become my go-to spot for pastries in Houston. Their freshly baked goods hit the spot every time! I also prefer strong coffee so I enjoyed their cafe de olla latte. A cozy aesthetic hang out spot but also a good study spot with many outlets. Would definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

I love this place in Katy! You can tell that the owners really put effort into the drinks, decor and the ambiance. I came to try out some coffee and a few different pastries and everything was super delicious. I didn't know which coffee to try since it was my first time, so I got the Spanish latte. It was super well balanced and not too sweet. The pastries are super flaky, and not very overpowering in terms of sweetness. I tried the guava and cheese, feta and zaatar and my mom tried one of the honey pastries. read more

I walked into Yemex planning to order food, but before I could even look at the menu, I was immediately told I couldn't eat there because I had a bag from their neighbor, Kolache Bar. I completely understand businesses having policies about outside food, but the way it was said was unnecessarily rude and unwelcoming. First impressions matter, and instead of feeling like a customer, I felt embarrassed and dismissed. Customer service and tone go a long way. On the other hand, Kolache Bar had amazing customer service and a welcoming atmosphere. They definitely gained a loyal customer after this experience. read more

I don't live in Katy but made the drive out just to try it. So far I've had their Cafe de Olla Latte and Salted Dulce De Leche both were incredible even though I didn't think I'd like the salted dulce de leche. What really takes the the cake for me personally though (as someone who struggles to find decent gluten free pastries) is their cheesecake. I've had the chocolate and the plain. Both were the perfect level of sweetness, but I personally like the plain one more. Those cheesecakes alone can be the reason why I make the hike out to see them. Another added bonus is that they're not located too far off the highway. I'm able to quickly exit barker cypress to get to them and hop right back onto i10. read more

One of my favorite must stop places to come when visiting/going by the area. Customer service is amazing! Very welcoming since the very first day they have opened. (Went on opening day & got hooked ever since) Have also had the pleasure to speaking to the owners who are very sweet people. Loved how easy going they are with the customers and their employees. The place does get full out of nowhere BUT trust me when I say it is worth the wait. From people working, chatting, and just enjoying the moment of sipping your coffee/matcha it is such a relaxing place. MY GO TO drinks from here (I get two, to go ) bc they're that good! : 1) Iced Cafe de Olla Late W/ Oat milk (Amazing combinations of cinnamon and coffee) it's amazing! 2) Guava Matcha w/ Oat milk (Amazing guava taste that does not taste artificial) I don't know how they do it but it's delicious! You can taste the literal flavor of how guava tastes but not to overpowering where you won't taste the matcha. My boys to go drink is the Strawberry crème matcha , he loves it. Other drinks I also tried and loved was the Areekano : (first time trying something different how the coffee is made) I will admit that it did not disappoint. It's a great taste of combinations that really help each other. Never thought I would like cheese in my coffee lol. Cortado Dulce de leche : I actually sat in the shop and enjoyed this one. Ufff chefs kiss! Something strong and delicious, for a pick me up quick this one is the one! You can taste the flavorful taste of the espresso. I will end it at this paragraph bc I can honestly go on about this place; ALL pastry items are amazing! You cannot go wrong with any. Mother's Day they had a lemon one & it was great ; I hope they bring it back again. Cafe de Olla cinnamon roll is such a great taste of coffee and sweet. Chorizo croissant they have is deli. The guava croissant is also amazing! I definitely recommend for anyone to try this place out! read more

Nice place for a coffee and conversation. Pastries and coffee are incredible. Nice looking inside too.

As a self-proclaimed coffee lover, I can confidently say this place is well worth a visit. The coffee was absolutely fantastic--I ordered a regular latte and my husband had a flat white, and both were spot on. We also tried two of their pastries, and both were delicious: *Dulce de Leche Cinnamon Roll:*Incredible. It was perfectly fluffy rather than dense, full of flavor, and--best of all--not overly sweet. * Turkey, Cheese, & Macha Croissant:* My husband ordered this and thoroughly enjoyed it. (It did not taste anything like salsa macha) -A Quick Note on the Menu- Despite what the name of the shop might suggest, don't expect a fusion of flavors within a single pastry. Instead, they offer a variety of distinct options from different culinary profiles side-by-side (for example, you can choose *either* a pistachio cinnamon roll *or* a dulce de leche one). Great coffee, wonderful baked goods, and a place I will definitely be coming back to! read more

Saw the inauguration on Instagram and had to make the drive (50 min) to try it. The place is spotless, bathrooms are immaculate and the service is friendly and welcoming. We had the Maple Chorizo Pinwheel and it's was delicious, you might think the flavors don't go with each other but they do! We also had the Feta,Tomato & Za'atar danish and it was amazing. The Pain Au Chocólat (on the menu it's listed as Pain Au Suisse) and their Guava & Cream cheese are spot on! The pastries are fresh and they don't sit around for long. Their coffee is fresh and not burnt. The ambience is very soothing and pleasant. Highly recommend this place for some of the best pastries in Houston! read more
