Heyma Yemeni Coffee & Brunch — Restaurant in San Francisco

SF has been blessed over these recent years with a rise in Yemeni coffeeshops. Although a lot of them have great coffee and tea, this is the first one that has amazing brunch items as well!

I went here two days in a row I enjoyed it so much. The first day I got their IBB coffee pot with a bee bite which was very good. The coffee was made perfectly, strong, and a nice essence of cardamom. I do wish they had an option for a smaller coffee pot size. But this was so good that I decided to come back again and try their brunch.

Let me tell you, their food stole the show. The Yemeni style shakshuka with cheese and the Lahm Zighar with hummus are unbelievable. The shakshuka was full of rich spices, eggs cooked well, and it’s served in a pot so they stay warm throughout the meal. They a perfect balance between eggs, tomatoes and seasonings so nothing over powers each other and the unique cheese really ties it together. This I would say was closer in style to a menemen than a shakshuka, and I think it’s truly exceptional and the hot sauce is amazing. That with the lahm zighar which is beef cooked with Yemeni spices on top of hummus are two items to get to share. I’d say their Yemeni tea was very good as well and the perfect thing to pair with the food.

The inside is spacious and designed beautifully with bright colors and a water fountain. You can really chill here for a good amount of time and enjoy their calming atmosphere. I think this place is going to get very popular soon, as long as they maintain their high quality product I will keep returning and supporting them.

In short, although there’s no shortage of great Yemeni cafes in the Bay Area, but there was a lack of food options until Heyma opened. I was told they serve brunch everyday until 2pm which is very reasonable as well. Keep up the great work...

I was here last week for an appointment with someone and was blown away by how cool this place was.

It's new and exciting and had this place been around when I was in this hood it would have made a perfect daily stop before, during or after work.

There's so much space and its incredibly clean and tidy. The colors and interior design are very nice.

The menu is extensive and there are so many things to try from classic to more fun and flavorful ones that follow trends like the Dubai Chocolate. They even have food and pastries so there is definitely more reasons than just coffee beverages.

I tried the Mufawaar which is a medium roast coffee with cardamom and cream. It was thick and served super hot.

We sat in and were provided a glass cup so we could pour and enjoy. A nice balance and great first impression as I've never had Yemeni coffee.

The service was great and the guy working was very friendly, chatted, shook hands and complimented my water bottle.

I will definitely return when im in the area more consistently. Everyone needs to try this place. Great small business and stellar coffee addition to the already great coffee...

This coffee shop is an absolute haven! Tucked away from the city's noise, it offers a uniquely serene atmosphere that's perfect for anyone needing a mental recharge, especially travelers. Imagine sinking into a comfy chair with a perfectly brewed coffee in hand, the aroma mingling with the subtle scent of freshly baked pastries. If you're new to town and feeling a bit overwhelmed, or just need a chill spot to recharge, this is it. The vibe is super relaxed and quiet, perfect for unwinding with a great cup of coffee. And let me tell you, their pastries are amazing! Seriously delicious. The staff are really friendly too, which makes the whole experience even better. Trust me, skip the busy chains and come here for a real treat. ...
