A unique coffee experiences in New York. Qahwah House brings Yemeni coffee culture to life with its cozy, vaulted wood interior and rich sensory experience. I tried the Mofawar—a Yemeni-style spiced coffee served in a beautiful little pot. The flavor is delicate, almost tea-like, creamy, with a gentle toasted spice note that lingers. What’s remarkable is how long the pot keeps the coffee warm. Highly recommended if you haven’t tried before.

I love the Yemeni latte. The spices they flavor with match up perfectly with the honey cake and the sabaya. The vibe of this particular place is wonderful. This is a great place to unwind for an hour or so. Any time I'm in the upper west side, I have to stop here.

Really excellent coffee! They have very yummy Yemeni style coffee options and also cappuccino, latte, etc. Plenty of plant milk options and decaf too. They have a vegan chocolate cake, which was delicious! Plenty of seating options, one of the few coffee places in the neighborhood that doesn’t feel cramped. Free WiFi. A good place to study or read!
