Yemeni Sabaya

Yemeni Sabaya is a beloved staple known for its delicate flaky layers and rich buttery flavor. Made fresh daily using traditional techniques, it is served warm and pairs beautifully with honey, melted cheese, or your favorite dip.

Adeni Chai

Sweet, spiced, and steeped to perfection.

Adeni Chai is the signature tea of Aden, Yemen. We simmer black tea with cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon, then finish it with condensed milk for a rich, creamy sweetness. Every cup is slow-steeped and served hot.

Yemeni Coffee

The birthplace of coffee, in every cup.

Yemen is the birthplace of coffee. Our beans are grown on ancient mountain terraces and roasted using time-honored methods passed down through generations. Every cup carries notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, warm spices, and subtle floral aromas.
