Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Mansfield

Updated review: 5 to 1 star Service I got in a 8pm, the coffee orders went by fast and efficient. Until it got to me. One employee outright refused to serve me. 25 minutes went by of employee pretending he didn't just take my order. For comparison of how I know it was intentional was the girl who ordered her drink before me got hers in 5 minutes of ordering. Nobody ordered after me. My drink had already been made by another employee and was sitting on the counter in plain sight to the point the one who made it asked who it was for. The one who took my order knew exactly what he was doing. The one who made my coffee issued me a refund. But he made it in cash instead of straight back to my account. Thankful for the refund, not thankful they avoided the paper trail. I don't care how bad a day an employee is having, that's unacceptable. If he retaliated for me not automatically tipping for an $8 drink before drinking it, even moreso. If they do it to one person, they've done it to more. I don't play that game. The question is not "Why am I offended from not being served what I paid for?" The question is "Why was he offended enough to refuse to serve me when all I did was get in line and order?"

Listened to an audiobook on coffee and gained a new appreciation for Yemeni coffee. Dude risked his life for coffee. Worth a read/listen!

Been here a couple times. Great coffee, great desserts, perfect date spot but the music is different than what most people are accustomed to because most coffee shops play top hits, jazz, and other well known American genres. Seating is lovely and it's open late which is a rare find for coffee shops. When I first found their location, their sign looked too similar to Starbucks so thought it a knock off coffee shop, but turns out quite the opposite because yemeni coffee dates back to the beginning...

I wish I could give this place ten stars. This is my favorite coffee shop, bar none. The coffee & tea is strong and actually tastes like coffee and tea! Usually lattes and the like end up all tasting like the same ambiguous milk drink, but not here. Everything is genuinely unique and distinct, worth trying out everything on the menu at least once. What I really love is the fact that the coffees here are also different - they have your usual drinks of course, like a good old traditional macchiato or affogato or matcha latte (which is incredibly delicious and has a wonderfully authentic matcha flavor) but their specialty drinks have a unique Yemeni flair to them. It makes them memorable and delightfully fun to explore. Not wanting caffeine? No problem. Their refreshers are also to die for, all three flavors are absolutely delightful. Nothing's too sour or artificial-tasting like at say, a Starbucks. And of course, the pastries are absolutely incredible. Sometimes it may be a bit of an old batch so it can be a little dry, but they're consistently good nonetheless (the first time I had the honey cake it was a bit flavorless and dry, but I tried it again and it blew me out of the park, that's how I knew it was just a bad day). Shop's always bustling with socialization and for good reason. You have...

The coffee is excellently executed stovetop Yemeni coffee. Qamaria is a chain across the country and in neighborhoods like Mansfield it's a must try, basically a replacement for other chain coffee in the area. Between this and Flying Squirrel, Mansfield finally has a sense of a coffee shop scene, which is great for the growing community.

What most non-coffee people will enjoy immediately is the pastries. That honeycomb bread is well made, soft pillows of bread with cream cheese in the middle. I think the Yemeni harissa (on the menu, it's the "peanut bar") is actually the star, a nutty sweet pastry that uses rose water to elevate the teatime snack. The tea biscuits are also good and probably a staple if I lived here.

The coffee shop itself has a great conversational ambience in the middle with a more mixed social/work ambience on the sides. I hope they keep the hours because having this quality of coffee, tea, and snackables until 11pm is a dream for the student, the talker, the worker, and the hustler. So...
