Qahwah House Clifton: Reviews & Ratings

Qahwah house is a trendy, modern and busy place. Their coffee and pastries are really very good, and their Yemeni coffee blends are truly amazing. I dropped one star from the atmosphere mainly due to the fact that on a weekend (Fri-Sat) the place is PACKED. We were unable to find a seat - there people just chilling on their laptops, hanging out at tables despite having finished their food, but not leaving. I get that it’s a fun place, but when it’s busy, perhaps the management can politely ask people to give up their tables if they’re done, and to not linger. That being said, the coffee is excellent, not overly pricey (think Starbucks range), and their staff are friendly. I plan to return when it’s not so busy, perhaps during the week.

Best Tea of My Life — A Must-Visit Gem! Qahwah House in Paterson is, without question, the best tea experience I’ve ever had. The flavor of their signature Yemeni tea is unlike anything I’ve tasted — rich, aromatic, smooth, and incredibly comforting. Whether you’re a tea lover or not, this place will absolutely win you over. The ambiance is vibrant and lively, always buzzing with energy and people. The shop has a rustic-chic vibe with wooden shelving, a touch of Middle Eastern decor, and a beautiful world map mural that adds an earthy, cultural flair. The team behind the counter is clearly passionate, efficient, and welcoming, even during the busy hours. Let’s talk about the desserts — they’re mind-blowing. I tried a creamy pistachio dessert topped with golden chocolate drizzle and a warm, honey-soaked slice of Yemeni-style cake with sesame seeds — both were insanely good and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The presentation is also on point: tea served in elegant glass pots and vibrant ceramic cups that feel authentic and thoughtful. You can tell they care about every detail. The seating area is decent, though admittedly not the most comfortable. Some soft, velvet chairs or couches would take the experience to the next level, especially with how upscale the drinks and desserts feel. That said, it still works well for quick bites or hangouts with friends. All in all, if you’re looking for the finest, most flavorful Yemeni tea, Qahwah House is the place to be. The quality is unmatched, the vibes are strong, and every visit feels special.

I had a fantastic experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt a sense of calm and relaxation. We tried a cappuccino, a matcha latte and the unique Carmel dream, all of them were delicious. I really liked the strong flavor of the matcha. The service was awesome, Zack provided an excellent and friendly service.

Very nice ambiance. I could see a lot of visitors that seems like it makes a good place to hangout for locals. I especially liked the honeycomb cheese pastry. I'd love to come back here and try the other desserts and unique teas.
