Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co

By far the best coffee shop in town. Great quality coffee and such a comfortable atmosphere and experience. And delicious pastries!!

I tried Qamaria Yemeni Coffee with family and they did not disappoint. The employees were friendly and kind. The atmosphere is great. We had a little bit of everything. I tried the iced pistachio latte 50% sweet, it was delicious! The pistachio cheesecake also really good. The owner (I’m assuming) brought us a honey comb pastry to try. It is a cream cheese, honey drizzled bread. It was amazing. A new favorite of ours we were very happy with their service and food.

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee is an absolute delight. I ordered the iced coffee infused with cardamom and cinnamon, and it was easily one of the most flavorful coffees I’ve ever had: smooth, spiced just right, and incredibly refreshing! I also tried my friends’ pistachio iced coffee, and their lavender vanilla latte. Our drinks were very tasty without being overly sweet. For dessert, I tried the saffron milk cake, rose water milk cake, as well as the Biscoff cake, and each one was so delicious. The milk cakes were fragrant, light, and subtly sweet, while the Biscoff cake brought the perfect touch of indulgence. I loved that no flavors were overwhelming (which can often happen) but were still present. The atmosphere was just as memorable. The music, décor, and colors created a cozy, vibrant space that feels both welcoming and well-loved. I loved the dishes, couches, and trays - they were super cute and a nice nod to the Yemeni heritage. The staff were incredibly kind and considerate, making me feel at home while also clearly honoring their roots. Qamaria does a beautiful job of sharing Middle Eastern hospitality and flavors in a way that feels open and inviting for everyone to experience. I had a wonderful time here and have already recommended Qamaria to my friends as it’s the kind of café you’ll want to revisit again and again! I even made sure to take a slice of cake home to share with my family (which they loved). I can’t wait to come back and continue eating my way through their pastries!

This place is amazing. I’m not sure if the man who was there is the owner but he is the most kindest, sweetest soul I’ve ever met. He had asked if it was our first time there and recommended some drinks which were some of the best drinks I’ve ever had. He absolutely made my day so much better 💗 I described their pistachio latte as a warm hug. Their desserts are delicious and not too sweet. I will continue coming back and recommend this coffee place by 10000!

Amazing business with some of the best drinks I’ve ever had. I feel like this place was an amazing cultural experience. The service was fast and friendly. Great place for studying with many seats available. It can get really packed though. Only 1-2 tables were available when I arrived around 2:30pm on Sunday. Drinks were about $10-11 with oatmilk add-ons but it was worth it to me. Drink was 10/10. Iced Pistachio Latte w/ Oatmilk: 10/10

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality, taste, and atmosphere of ​ Qamaria - Riverside. As a coffee enthusiast, I highly recommend visiting this spot. Their coffee beans are incredibly fresh and high-quality, sourced from a single origin. The staff was extremely kind and friendly. I particularly enjoyed the Turkish coffee, which had a smooth texture with a proper aroma and flavor. Their desserts were also delicious and well-prepared. I found the menu pricing to be fair, considering the quality and atmosphere. The shop itself is well-designed with great background music. As someone who travels frequently, I always appreciate clean bathrooms, and theirs were among the one of the cleanest and best-smelling I've encountered.

This charming Yemeni coffee shop is conveniently located right off the FWY (215/60) at the University exit in the 'University Village', near UCR. There's plenty of parking available. You order at the counter, then seat yourself indoors or outdoors, or simply take your order to go. They serve Specialty Coffee, Tea, and authentic pastries like Baklava, Cheesecake, Milk Cakes, Musakhan Rolls, and Fatayer. We came here specifically for the Turkish coffee and it definitely did not disappoint! I'm obsessed after my first visit. We had the 'Turkish coffee, the Qamaria hot Latte, Pistachio Milk Cake, and Pistachio Baklava'. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the baklava was easily the best I've ever had. The Qamaria latte had the perfect balance of espresso, milk, cinnamon, and cardamom. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. The café itself has a cozy, beautiful decor with authentic Yemeni Arabic cultural touches, perfect for relaxing or studying. The service is amazing. Nabil was extremely welcoming and helpful with the coffee menu, taking his time to explain their offerings and making our decisions easy. We had a great experience and can't wait to return and try other menu items, especially their Honeycomb Khaliat Al-Nahl.

The pistachio latte with oat milk is so so good . The service was amazing they were so nice to my babies. They even gave us a free pastry as a welcome gift . I wish it was closer but I’ll be back anytime I’m near

I visited Qanaria Coffee Shop on Saturday and had a great experience. The place has a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. I ordered two coffees — both were fresh, rich, and perfectly made. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. Definitely a nice spot to enjoy a good cup of coffee and unwind. I’ll be coming back again!

Great customer service. I was excited to come here on a day off. Ordered a pistachio latte. Highly recommend. My daughter ordered an iced cocoa which she finished as soon by the time we walked out the door. Also the pistachio aka Dubai chocolate bar and baklava. One of my favorite cafes. Has an elegant atmosphere.

Best service I’ve ever received from a coffee shop. I ordered my coffee incorrectly (I ordered it half-sweet instead of 1/4 sweet) and when I came up to order another coffee for myself and my wife, the manager/owner asked how my first order was. I told him it was a little too sweet and he comped my entire next order, which also came out perfectly.

Ariel Williams

I really like this place. I ordered a iced vanilla latte and it was amazing. I saw that this place had various yemeni drinks and desserts and I want to give it a try the next time I come here. The place itself felt really cozy. I really love the vibes in that place.

Jeffrey Aguirre

Ordered the Iced Qamaria Latte, Kunaffa cheesecake, Oreos cheesecake and pumpkin spice milk cake. Coffee was delicious and wanted a second cup. The star of the show was the milk cake. The oreos was second best. The kunaffa cheesecake was ok for me. Love this place and they are always so welcoming.

I stumbled across this place on a whim with my now-fiancé on our first date, and we've been regulars ever since. The Turkish coffee is hands down my go-to — rich, bold, and perfectly brewed. Every pastry I’ve tried has been delicious, and the smoothies and other coffee drinks are easily a 10/10. What sets this place apart is the experience. Sure, you can grab your coffee to go, but for me, this spot is meant to be savored. It's a place to slow down, take a breath, and enjoy your coffee before diving back into the hustle and bustle of life.

This place is such a gem. We walked in and the decor and ambiance were amazing. Lots of cultural art work. We told the cashier that it was our first time there and they immediately provided recommendations. We had their iced pistachio latte and the pistachio milk cake. Oh my goodness the drink and dessert were amazing. We do not like super sweet but everything was perfectly sweetened. We couldn’t get enough of the pistachio milk cake. You can tell everything was made with love. The presentation of everything was amazing. Definitely will be back again.

A true hidden gem. Qamaria is more than just a coffee shop, it’s a window into Yemen, right here in California. I was genuinely moved to chills by how beautifully they blend culture, tradition, Arabic design elements, and modern hospitality. Everything feels intentional and full of heart. I’m so happy I found this place. I’ll be coming back again and again.

Amazing high quality single origin coffee beans and awesome spices especially CARDAMOM! Very fresh and aromatic flavors. Adani tea is rich, creamy, and full of cardamom flavor. Earthy and exotic. Tea leaves (crushed) taste really good and unique. It’s a hit! Turkish coffee had smooth texture with proper aroma and deep flavor, along with velvety foam. Beautifully presented and truly full bodied with chocolatey undertones. Best vibes in the area and great welcoming staff and owners. Great music selection. Would come again.

I come here often, the interior design is beautiful its always so nice to walk in here, its a newer place to the UCR plaza but a perfect addition for students, office workers, etc. You can definitely get work done here, they have free wifi, and plenty of outlets to plug in your devices. It can get very busy though, around 4-8 pm its completely packed. Their coffee is delicious and so are their desserts. I personally like the creo cheesecake and biscoff cheesecake. They also have a really good mango cheesecake, rose milk cake, biscofd milk cake, etc. I like coming here to do my school work but like I mentioned earlier, it can get busy very quickly, but the employees always provide quick and easy service. I recently tried the Qamaria latte which is their number one drink and I completely understand why. Their strawberry matcha is also very balanced and better than most places. Their refreshers are also crisp, and refreshing for those who don't drink caffeine or want something different!

Every time I walked past this place, I told myself I had to come in and try it someday. This time, I ordered two cakes. I liked the pistachio tres leches cake more. The Dubai cheesecake wasn’t rich or cheesy enough for me. Next time, I want to try their coffee.

Really nice customer service and good vibes at this cafe! Their pistachio latte is slightly sweet but worth trying even if you’re not too keen on sweet drinks. Sooo busy though, so definitely come strategically when there’s less people as to not fight for a spot if you plan on staying. I loved the Arabic music playing on the speakers as well.

Pretty obsessed with their pistachio milk cake. I’ve come back already a few times just to order it to go. So far I haven’t found a drink I really like yet, I prefer mine to be on the sweeter side and they’re usually very strong the few times I’ve gone. My fiancé liked their iced Qamaria latte last time we went! This coffee shop also has a lot of space inside and is very cute. Looks like a good study spot or even somewhere to hangout with a friend.
