Arwa Yemeni Coffee — Restaurant in Austin

This is truly a hidden gem in Austin and a MUST VISIT. There is something for everyone here from authentic Yemeni teas and hot chais that soothe my desi heart, they’ve even got the famous Dubai chocolate so if you’ve been wanting to try that this is your spot! There was plenty of parking when we visited and nice benches outside to devour treats at. My absolute favorite was the honeycomb bread, so much so that I’m posting three photos here, isn’t it gorgeous! This was my favorite treat back when I lived in Doha and I was ecstatic to find it in this little truck in Austin. You can pick between black seeds or sesame and I went with the black seeds for their health benefits ( I know I know on top of a sweet desert but it counts!) it was warm and topped with a cardamom and honey syrup that I’m still thinking off, the cheese inside was the perfect complement to the sweets of the syrup. We got the red tea with mint and Adeni tea (close to chai) and it was delicious and for 5 usd you get a huge cup! I can’t wait to be back, the service was smooth and the food truck...

I felt like I was waiting forever for Arwa Yemeni to come down to Austin from Dallas. Austin is sorely lacking in Yemeni coffee shops so I was always stopping by at their Dallas location when I was in town. And of course, their new Austin location does not disappoint!

There are only a few options for drinks but they are all absolutely delicious. The flavor combinations, and especially the addition of cardamom, is amazing. The spices that are added to the coffee results in very unique drinks that you can't get anywhere else in Austin.

Overall, I highly recommend this place and I sincerely hope this location in Austin stays. If you have not had the pleasure of trying Yemeni coffee...

Their milk Adeni tea over Boba anyday !! yes I said it as an Asian person.

Their tea is full of spices level and it is hot - perfect for the cold weather - and it is CHEAP !!! What else not to love?

Their coffee is very rich and flavorful as well - comes in hot

Their latte is not like super sweet like American latte but has their own spice kicks.

I will certainly return for their tea and milk tea many times in the future. Please support this small local business. The owner just opened and think that their pricing is high - for Austin, their coffee is way better than places charge 8 or $10...
