Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Culver City

Absolutely love this new Qamaria location! It’s spacious, beautifully designed, and spread across two floors, so you’ll always find a good spot to sit whether you’re catching up with friends or studying solo. There’s parking in the back but fits about 20 cars or even on the streets. The vibe is calm and cozy — tons of people come here to work or study — though just a heads up, there aren’t many outlets, so make sure your devices are fully charged before you come. The interior is stunning — elegant lighting, comfy seating, and warm tones that make it feel super inviting. You can tell they put a lot of thought into creating an atmosphere where you actually want to stay a while. Now, onto the best part — the food and drinks! I ordered the large pot of Adani chai, and it was phenomenal — rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. It’s served in a teapot big enough to share (or not) and stays warm for ages. Pairing it with their chicken patty was a game changer — buttery, flaky pastry on the outside and flavorful, tender chicken filling inside. Such a comforting combo! For dessert, the pistachio milk cake with a honey bread comb was next-level good — moist, light, and sweet with a nice crunch from the honeycomb on top. It’s one of those desserts you keep thinking about long after you leave. I also tried their cheesecake, which was silky and rich without being overly sweet — another hit. The staff here are so kind and welcoming, always smiling and making sure everyone’s taken care of, even when it’s busy. Overall, this new Qamaria is a total win — beautiful space, friendly people, and amazing chai and desserts. Definitely my new favorite study and chill spot in Culver City. Must-tries: Large pot of Adani chai any cheesecake, and pistachio milk cake or the...

⭐☆☆☆☆ NOT A PET FRIENDLY PLACE

I visited Qamaria Coffee Co. for the first time today after seeing on Yelp that they were pet-friendly. I brought my dog, and my two friends came along one with a beagle and the other with her one-year-old baby. We stood inside the establishment for over 15 minutes, placed our orders, interacted with the staff, and waited for our drinks. Not once did anyone mention that pets weren’t allowed.

After all that time, the owner suddenly approached us and said that dogs were not allowed inside. It was incredibly frustrating, especially since no one said anything earlier. If there’s a strict no-pet policy, it should’ve been communicated clearly and immediately not after we’d already ordered and were waiting.

To make matters worse, there was zero effort to accommodate us, even with a baby in our group and the cold weather outside. The two larger seating areas inside were taken up by the owner and his friends, and it felt like we were treated more like a nuisance than paying customers. When I expressed that I felt uncomfortable and that people were now staring at us, the owner dismissively said, “Who’s staring at you?”

I asked for a refund and didn’t receive one. The staff offered the drinks complimentary, which my friends accepted, but I still didn’t receive any refund.

This is more of a heads-up for anyone looking to visit with pets: this place is not pet-friendly, regardless of what their Yelp listing says. I left feeling embarrassed and extremely disappointed, and I won’t be...

Reading people's review that the venue got super busy on the weekend even until pretty late at night, it’s awesome that I was able to make a stop on a weekday and it's pretty easy to get a seat despite there were quite many guests. Dedicated parking was another win!

They used a token to notify you that your order's ready for pickup so you basically needn't have to stand and wait when they're prepping for it. If you're planning to work and use the wifi, it could be a bit spotty (at least that's my experience). Nonetheless, the space was pretty quiet and actually other than the wifi the ambiance was perfect for working spot.

They did offer plenty of sweet treats displayed at the counter, including their various flavors of milk cake as well as cheesecakes. I guessed the popular would surely be the dubai chocolate one given the hype.

I tried their Iced Pistachio Latte, coming with generous pistachio sauce, making it bit too sweet but I guessed you might tailor it if you fancied it to be less. The price tag was closer to the high end especially if you opted for alternative milk, which costed $1 extra. With tip, it might cost around $12-ish a cup.

I would say the coffee was overall okay, but prolly not something I would consider having on a more regular basis...
