They have perfected the iced pistachio latte, if youre a chai person get Adeni! Dont waste time with their pastries, just focus on the drinks and the vibes. Trust.
Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co.
They have perfected the Yemeni tea experience. Try their Adeni chai or turkish coffee. Both are always a hit. I didnt care for their pistachio latte. Stick to their hot teas!
Qahwah House
