Haraz Coffee House

Great to see a new coffeehouse in the neighborhood! I got the pistachio latte with oat milk which was almost $9 and it was pretty average. I imagine their teas are better so I will return to try them. Wait time was 25 minutes on a weekday afternoon. I know they’re still working on things but hopefully this will improve. The space is large and open and quite loud for studying or working even with AirPods but there’s plenty of seating available. I will be back for the tea, maybe in a few months.

Coffee was excellent! Food was also good, and the atmosphere and service was really pleasant. Despite how busy the place was when I arrived, the service workers were very kind and attentive - especially Tyler.

Will definitely visit again!

My family and I truly enjoyed our visit, the staff was all kind and patient despite the after Iftar rush. They were extremely accommodating and kind, even replacing my spilled (second) latte. First let me say as a coffee lover Haraz is 100/10, but there is much more than coffee to praise, from the “Bee Bites” a delicious Yemeni treat to the brownies not to mention the tea and fresh lemonade options. The interior is welcoming and clean with outside seating also available. All I can say is this is a perfect late night family friendly cafe that I look forward to visiting again IA

This place is great. Let me start with the staff who is kind, welcoming, and helpful in going over the menu and helping decide what to get. Next the location, great atmosphere, family friendly, beautifully designed. And finally, the food. We had adeni chai, tango iced tea, rose milk cake, bee bites, and a kunafa. Every single item was perfect! A must to check out!

The bee bite was sooooo delicious, absolutely recommend. The Haraz coffee and Haraz tea were so spicy but good.

Best chai in the city, hands down!!! Authentic Yemeni style coffee and tea, amazing assortments of dessert including bees bites (special bread with honey and cream cheese), Turkish baklava, moms kunafa. Inside is so spacious, can easily seat 100 people inside with outdoor seating too. All hand painted walls gives it a great ambiance and vibe. Try the adeni chai and pistachio latte!

For context, I usually don’t write any negative reviews for any business, unless the experience was absolutely horrible.

I’ll start with this: I love Yemeni culture; have Yemeni relatives, grew up my entire life eating and indulging in Yemeni cuisine, both here and over seas.

The good stuff:

- The location is decorated nicely, and is in a great plaza.
- the location is huge. And I love the amount of space inside.

Now to the actual experience:
- The first thing that caught my eye while waiting in line is the Kirkland and off the shelf honey bottles they were using to smother the “bees bites”, خلية النحل. Yemen is KNOWN for its rich honey, why would they use the fake, processed honey off of Costco shelves?
- I grew up in a household where we made “bees bites”. We ordered one and I couldn’t even eat it. It was rock hard. As you’ll see in the photo. I go to the gym, I workout few times a week, and I struggled cutting through it. To the point where I had to stab it with a fork and the rock came out of the casing. We threw it away. And the amount of fake honey on top was disgusting.

- I lived overseas and have every variation of Yemeni coffee and tea. I got the Radaa’i coffee, which is a signature Yemeni coffee with ginger. When made properly it tastes amazing. What I received was a hot cup of water, with unmixed powder, with no flavor. I had to throw it away as well.

I drove from Dallas to be able to come see this spot on a weekend where I was convincing my entire family to come to this store.

A genuine advice: When you open a new cafe, have staff members constantly walk around welcoming people and asking them how their experience was and if everything is tasting okay, so it doesn’t get to this stage of having a horrible review.

I am completely disappointed, and sadly will not return. There are other cafe alternatives locally that have a much better offering, consistency, and use actual yemeni honey and products.

Their maleki coffee is pretty good but the pizza bee bites was very bland. It should have more stuffing and more flavor to it. Felt like I was eating plain bread.

A little crowded and chaotic. Tables were not being regularly cleaned and the cafe looked a little overwhelmed. Asked for their most popular cold coffee drink and I was recommended the pistachio latte. The drink was ok but not well made had more milk than the coffee pistachio flavor. Good thing was it was not over sweet in fact the sweetness was just right. But it could have had more robust pistachio and coffee flavor which means it probably did not get enough espresso and flavor as needed.

Also had the Moms kunefe and a milk cake. Nothing special here. I would rate the kunefe at 6 out of 10. Milk cake was a tres leches. That was better. Had the ras Malai one. Good flavor but again it felt these were store bought nothing special in my opinion.

Haraz cafe is good cafe but I was hoping for a more middle eastern stronger and unique flavor. Instead the drinks were highly Americanized and seemed akin to a US local cafe.

Unquestionably, the best coffee shop in the area I’m so thankful that finally I was able to find this spot for some good coffee. The atmosphere inside this coffee shop was very vibrant and relaxing. As a truck driver it’s hard to fine good coffee other then truck stops. Finally 😄
