I visited this café with a few friends for tea and snacks and had a really pleasant experience. The place has a relaxed vibe with plenty of seating, making it a nice spot to hang out with friends or even get some work done on your laptop. Just note that a few tables are designated as no-laptop zones. If you’re visiting, I highly recommend trying the Pistachio Latte and Adeni Tea—both were flavorful and unique. For desserts, the milk cake and chocolate cheesecake were delicious and paired perfectly with the drinks. Overall, it’s a great café to relax, chat, or spend a quiet afternoon.

Great spacious café, but usually packed with students studying, so open tables are rare. I got lucky with a spot by the fireplace! They have a nice aesthetic but note that the nice glass cups are only for full pots of chai, not single servings. Adeni Latte (5/5): Great flavor, though I wish it came in a real glass instead of plastic. Turkish Coffee (4.5/5): Strong and flavorful with great presentation. Just avoid the last quarter of the cup to miss the bitter grounds. Pistachio & Rose Milk Cakes: Incredible texture and flavor, just a bit on the pricier side.

On vaca in Cali, we tried this place on a whim. So thankful we did! The selection is unreal. Every coffee sounded so good. All their displayed sweets & treats looked amazing. I got an iced pistachio latte. It was AMAZING 😍! The staff was patient and kind (I asked a lot of questions). The vibe was relaxing yet the place was busy. You could tell some were regulars. We have another couple days here & we will definitely be back for more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ☕⭐

Great little cafe near the office. First time having shawarma and Yemeni coffee and was very pleased. Food tasted great and they had a ton of options for milk bread as well. The coffee was delicious and full of flavors, very different than any other coffee I've tasted! Looking forward to coming back! Lots of people working and it was quite enough to have a conversation and enjoy our time.

It's rare to find somewhere with a warm atmosphere and lots of seating in the Bay, which is why Qamaria is 5/5 ⭐️ for me. I had the Iced Ameni, the Iced Matcha and the Saffron Cake. The service was also 5/5 ⭐, everyone working there was very kind. Iced Ameni: 4/5 ⭐️ I ordered this less sweet because I don't prefer very sweet drinks and I would order it sweetened next time. I think that because of how they premix the drink, my "less sweet" drink was pretty much completely unsweetened. There were some strong bitter notes that I didn't prefer, which is the only thing I would change. I'm interested in trying it again since nobody else mentions this in their reviews. I ended up adding sugar and it did help a bit. Iced Matcha: 4/5 ⭐️ The matcha seems pretty good quality but the ratio to milk is off. When mixed, the drink is very pale green. I would rather have gotten a smaller drink overall to maintain the matcha flavor. I ordered it normally sweetened and I definitely would get less sweet in the future. I think they have some room for improvement here. Saffron cake: 5/5 ⭐️ Very satisfying and delicious. The crumbs was nice and open and the cake was well saturated with liquid. I'm not sure if the flavor of saffron cake is typically stronger but I enjoyed the mild flavor regardless. The topping seemed similar to cool whip (but better) and I was a bit skeptical but it worked with the cake's light texture.
