A Relaxing Afternoon with Middle Eastern Sweet Aromas ☕

Recently visited this charming little café — Qatra Specialty Coffee, which specializes in Yemeni coffee and Middle Eastern desserts. The space is cozy, perfect for solo relaxation or catching up with friends over slow conversation 🧡🛋️. 🌍 Their coffee beans are mainly sourced from Yemen 🇾🇪, offering a flavor profile that’s distinct from the usual light roasts or Italian blends. You’ll notice subtle spice notes, with hints of floral and fruity acidity — but in a smooth, gentle way, not sharp at all. If you usually drink Americanos or lattes, this will be a pleasantly surprising “Hmm? This tastes different!” moment 😌✨. 🧁 The desserts here turned out to be a quiet highlight: 🌹 Rose Milk Cake A moist cake soaked in sweet milk, soft in texture, and topped with rose petals 🌸. Every bite bursts with floral aroma and creamy richness — reminiscent of tres leches cake but (like many Western desserts) a touch sweet — you know the drill 😉. 🍮 Caramel Milk Cake Moderately sweet and more classic in style. The caramel flavor is warm, not bitter, and the cake melds beautifully with the milk soak — a safe and crowd-pleasing pick 🍯. ☕ The drinks were delightful surprises too: 🥜 Pistachio Latte Thought it might be gimmicky, but it was unexpectedly delicious! A subtle nutty aroma blended smoothly into the milk — flavorful but not overwhelming, and not too rich by the last sip 🌰💚. 🍵 Matcha Latte More standard, but paired nicely with their desserts without overpowering them 🍃. 🍯 Honeycomb Cake — I’ve heard this is also worth trying! Definitely on my list for next time 🍰👀. #SanAntonio #FoodieFind #QatraCoffee #MiddleEasternFlavors #YemeniCoffee #DessertLover #CozyCafe #AustinArea #SanAntonioTravel #SweetTreats 🎉🇾🇪
