I got the Jubani and my partner got a regular coffee. Both were perfection. The Jubani was a little spicy with cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon (but not too intense). Service was warm and attentive. The macaroon was delightful, and I’m not a big sweets person. The space is quite cozy, with elements of Yemeni history sprinkled throughout. Great place to sit, sip, and watch the Buffalo snow fall outside while supporting a local business. Will absolutely be back!

I went here specifically for the fruit pastries which I saw advertised online. Unfortunately they told us in store that they only have them Monday and Tuesdays. We drove a while to try them and were disappointed we couldn’t but we did try the baked good that were in store and they was decent. We got the pistachio milk cake and the red velvet cake with a small coffee. The coffee was excellent followed by the milk cake. The red velvet did not have much flavor but was ok. The place is right around the corner from the UB campus so it makes sense that it was filled with young college kids. However if that’s not your scene it may not be somewhere you want to sit to eat. I definitely wouldn’t go to work there like a Starbucks. Seems more like a local hangout spot.

Beautiful coffee house with great coffee and desserts! Very courteous and expeditious service even when it’s very busy.

This is the best coffee shop in Buffalo. Excellent, friendly staff who appreciate their loyal customers. It’s a great place to study. They are open late, from 10PM to even 12PM on weekends. They come up with new desserts all the time which are delicious. Milk cake, baklava cheese cake, brownies. You can buy a coffee pot and share a cute tea set with your friends. Seating is very comfortable. Very bright and good lighting. The owner is very nice.

We lucked out, they only have these fruit shaped desserts on Tuesday and thats the day wr decided to try the bakery. We tried the peach, which was filled with cream and fresh peach chunks and the pistachio, how great these were. We also had the expresso and a pistachio latte, great flavor and presentation. The Sabaya was delicious, perfect amount of honey. The atmosphere and staff will make this one of our go to places when in the area. Highly recommend!
