“ I went to Qahwah house for the first today, I’ve heard about this place so much and it really exceeded my expectation. I’ve only tried the chocolate brownie so far ( I ordered the pistachio milk cake I think it’s called) but, it was frozen so they gave me the chocolate brownie for free. So sweet. Everyone who worked there that I interacted with were very friendly and sweet. The ambience of the cafe is great as well and the open late hours is a great added bonus!! I really enjoyed going with my family and also doing some work there! ”
“ I absolutely LOVE Qahwah House: the vibrant atmosphere, well designed interior - we loved sitting on the sofa with moveable arm rests that lined the back wall, beautiful servers and baristas. It was so nice to meet the cheerful owner Sulaiman! As someone with a dairy allergy I was so surprised to see they had vegan chocolate cake (made with almond and coconut milk). My friend and I came for dessert - I ordered the chocolate cake and he got the pistachio dream dessert and a cold Mofawar latte (with a dash of fragrant cardamom). We both greatly enjoyed what we ordered. Another time I came and got their delicious peppermint tea. Highly recommend their tea, coffee, and desserts/pastries! ”
“ Absolutely amazing coffee house. We found this place looking for somewhere open late to hang out while our son was at an event and I’m so glad ChatGPT recommended here. The coffee was amazing and the baked goods were sooo good!! Luay was wonderful and so helpful. He also let us try some samples of their most popular dishes. Everything we had was delicious! We will definitely be back! ”
“ This was my first time trying Yemeni coffee — and now I don’t think I can ever go back. The flavor was rich, smooth, and completely different from anything I’ve had before. Truly something special. The decor and aesthetic created such a calm, tranquil vibe. There’s indoor and outdoor seating, and the space is beautifully designed. I sat at the bar with a direct view of the coffee being freshly ground — a unique experience on its own. They also had a wide selection of pastries, and everything looked (and tasted) amazing. The sales rep was friendly, patient, and very helpful. Overall: great atmosphere, delicious pastries… and unforgettable coffee. If you’ve never tried Yemeni coffee, this is the perfect place to start. ”
“ This evening, following a late lunch, I had the pleasure of discovering a delightful coffee shop and bakery in Plaza Midwood. The atmosphere and ambiance were truly exceptional. Although my visit was brief, I found myself wishing to linger and fully appreciate the environment. I sampled the Pistachio Dream Cake, a confection featuring a crunchy pistachio katayef base layered with decadent cream cheese and topped with a premium pistachio sauce, accompanied by a mango refresher. On a future visit, I intend to try the Hazelnut Dream Cake, which boasts a crunchy hazelnut katayef base layered with cream cheese and topped with chocolate sauce, or the Carrot Lava Cake, a moist and spicy carrot bundt filled with a cream cheese mousse. I highly recommend a visit. ”
“ There are not enough good things I can say about Qahwah House. Each and every time I’m here, I’m given exceptional service by all of the staff. One gentleman in particular, whom is always there when I have gone, is extremely personable and makes the best adeni for sureeeee. There’s nothing you can go wrong with here, their coffee is always such a delight along with khaliat al nahl, and if you go early enough in the day it’s perfect for getting work done(later on in the night, there’s large groups and they get loud) The space is large and bright, and the walls show the importance of Yemen and qahwah. It is great for studying, groups, whatever you can want. And they have an outdoor patio! ”
“ Service was amazing. The coffee or tea was a little spicy- but still good and interesting. We love trying new things. LOVE this place. The Yemen chocolate was also intriguing. I will definitely come back. ”
“ We stopped by Qahwah House and I’m obsessed. The moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly brewed Yemeni coffee fills the air warm, inviting, and authentic. This season they have pumpkin drinks, and you need to try them. The pumpkin latte and pumpkin spice chai are perfectly balanced, creamy, and full of cozy fall flavor. We also tried their honeycomb bread, soft and lightly sweet with a drizzle of honey that melts in your mouth. Everything feels homemade and comforting, from the coffee to the pastries. If you’re searching for the best Yemeni coffee shop or fall pumpkin drinks in Charlotte, Qahwah House is a must. The atmosphere is calm, the staff is friendly, and every detail feels genuine. Definitely worth a visit if you love good coffee and comforting food. ”
