Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Shop

Entirely REINVENTING the coffee and tea experience for Americans. I absolutely loved this place. Many items to choose from, both food and drink. I got the Adeni Chai tea and a small Mufawaar. The 1st--deliciously aromatic Chai tea with cardamon. The 2nd--a medium roast coffee with evaporated milk...a creamy coffee concoction with cardamon, also. I am addicted to both. You can get most drinks with or without cream and with or without sugar. If you've never been to this place, I recommend checking it out for a whole new adventure.

Had another great experience at this Qamaria location near the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora. Drove up on a sunny afternoon just a little after 2pm to see a couple of groups enjoying their drinks and snacks in this last bit of beautiful summer weather on the patio. Inside the cafe there were a couple of tables taken but still plenty of open space to hang out if I'd had the chance to. The staff were friendly and patient as I took my time scanning the menu, the specials and the many pastries on display. I ordered an iced Qamaria latte along with a chicken pie. They told me it would be right out so I sat down but made the mistake of sitting close enough to the display case full of all the cakes so my sweet tooth ended up getting the better of me and I was suddenly back at the register ordering some baklava and a slice of date cake. The drink and pastries were out shortly after my moment of weakness and the staff member thanked me again when I picked everything up. Everything looked and tasted delicious. I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed the Qamaria latte as I'm not the biggest fan of honey but in combination with the cardamom and cinnamon it was great! Would be really interested in getting a warm version once fall sets in. The chicken pie is a wonderful savory option. Tasty dough with a generous amount of nicely seasoned slices of chicken underneath melted cheese. It was heated up for me and smelled and tasted so good once I sank into it. The date cake was rich and very flavorful as well. I saved the trio of baklava for a little later and am happy that those were just as good as everything else I enjoyed.

Is it a good Yemini coffee shop? Yes it is. Is it the best? No, there are better options. I believe it’s a franchise or at least they have a bunch of locations so it’s become standardized a bit and you can tell what the hired gun service folks instead of a family working at the restaurant like it is at many others. All in all, good people fair service good product. I would go for their Adeni chai or one of their coffees and of course good dessert options as well to nibble on while drinking your caffeine. Enjoy

I visited Qamaria coffee shop in Aurora for the first time and was delighted! I was looking for something new, and the barista made an excellent suggestion of the Qamaria latte. Smooth, warm, and creamy, it offered comforting notes of cinnamon and cardamom. Sans added sugar, the mild sweetness of the milk allowed the spices to shine! Served in an ample mug on a woven tray, I enjoyed sipping my latte while relaxing on the wraparound couch…I will be back 💛

This was my very first time trying Qamaria and I came to their Aurora location right off 59, tucked in a plaza with plenty of easy parking. Inside, it’s bright, spacious, and has lots of tables and seating. I loved the traditional Arabic music playing in the background. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and got to pick from a wide variety of pastries as part of the Yelp experience. I went with the cheesecake—because I can never resist it—and it did not disappoint. It was rich, dense, and perfectly balanced without being too sweet. For my drink, I tried the signature iced latte, medium sweet. The coffee was bold with warm notes of cardamom and cinnamon, but neither flavor was overpowering. The host had suggested I give it a try, and I’m so glad I did—it was such a pleasant surprise. Honestly, it’s hard to put into words. You just have to try it for yourself. I definitely will back to try the other pastries and more of the drinks!
