Asal Yemen — Restaurant in New York

One star for their honey bread and coffee which is tasty. However, the staff working there are not the nicest. I called and asked if the coffee shop is work-friendly. Usually, it’s never busy inside during a work day and I’ve seen people there with their laptops several times. The girl on the phone said no and just hung straight on me when I was still talking. I understand that you don’t want your customers to stay there long. But at least be respectful. I will never come back. People at cup of joe few blocks away are much nicer and welcoming. —— Thank you for the quick response but this is not what happened. Unfortunately, my phone was not disconnected. And all I asked was one question— is the place work friendly? I think the employee was playing around the words to blame everything to me? Maybe the first important thing they need to learn is...

I love this place. I have too many favorites. My usual is the Yemeni tea with a honeycomb bread with honey drizzled on top. Right now I’m stuck on the Egg Bun Asal with a Lavendar Latte and then I take my honeycomb bread to go. Thanks Salah! He always recommends me something good! Yemeni tea takes a few minutes to make by the way. Everything is made fresh and there’s a special way to make it. They also have a great mamoul cookie: it’s made with dates and it’s not too sweet and it’s flaky and soft. Great place to sit and relax. I really enjoy spending my day off here to enjoy the company of the baristas and their drinks in the heart...

I have been there a few times already and everything was fine until today. I asked the barista for a pumpkin spice latte w one shot of drip coffee which I had before and she refused to make it for me. Instead she served me a regular coffee w barely no milk all water. Unfortunately, I didn’t taste it right away to return it. It tasted it horrible.

She was so in a rushed that she didn’t try to explain that to me, besides I knew what I was asking for. I had one of ur pumpkin spice w one shot of drip coffee and not problem at all. I was very satisfied with my customized pumpkin spice, until today. Thanks...
