Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Fremont

Like most of the customers I also came here to experience what the big hype about? Have been hearing about this place for some time now so had to try it.

First impressions, I didn’t wanna go in. Because of the LONG LINE. It kind of put me off. But since I came only for this cafe so I decided to stay put.

After waiting for 15+ minutes got to order.

Sana’a - A beautiful tasting coffee. It had the perfect combination of cardamom, ginger & cinnamon.

Rada’a - this was a strong one for my palate. I first tried it black on its own but had to add milk. The addition of the milk made me enjoy the ginger & cardamom combination more.

Chicken Muskhan - it was skinny chicken roll. It was DELICIOUS. The way the chicken was cooked in the perfect combination of flavors was mouth watering.

Next time would definitely will try the sweet stuff.

Points to note -

They only have 1 checkout register. It makes the lines longer. I don’t think they have the capacity & staff to handle such a huge cafe. They need more staff and more coffee brewing machines. I felt sorry for the staff they were doing their best but they were overloaded with orders.

Although hats off to the staff. They were calm and composed and stayed focused on making their drinks n food orders.

The other thing which was disappointing & no it was not the cafe’s fault but the people with laptops. They were I think was one of the reasons for overcrowding. They took most of the seats and not leaving the cafe for the longest of time.

I’ll definitely go again and may be pick a time when it’s not this crazy busy...

I recently visited this cafe and tried a few of their specialty drinks with my family. The experience was mixed, with some highlights and disappointments.

On the positive side, the kids absolutely loved the smoothies - they were a big hit and very good quality. Another positive aspect of the lattes was that they were served very, very hot, which is perfect if you prefer your coffee at a high temperature.

However, there were several disappointments with the specialty lattes. The pistachio latte was lacking - I couldn't taste any actual pistachio flavor. Instead, it had an unusual taste that reminded me more of pistachio shells rather than the nuts themselves. The drink lacked the rich, nutty flavor I was expecting from a pistachio-themed beverage.

I also tried their Qamaria latte which had an unusual flavor profile. While it was different from standard offerings, it simply wasn't to my taste.

Another issue was the aftertaste of the milk used in the drinks. It tasted as if they used whole milk, which left an aftertaste that I didn't enjoy.

We also ordered a Cocoa, but I didn't have specific comments about that drink.

Overall, while the cafe has some interesting and unique drink options and the kids' smoothies were a success, the execution of the flavors in the specialty lattes didn't meet my expectations. If you have children and like very hot coffee, you might appreciate some aspects...
