Qamaria Yemeni Coffee

“Enormous place, lots of tables, great for groups.”

Enormous place, lots of tables, great for groups. The coffee latte is delicious and gave my stomach gurgles, I usually don't, so this means they use good milk. There is plenty of baked goods that you can enjoy with coffee. It's close to the Brown line Kedzie stop and there's a small parking area. And they sell their own coffee beans brand.

A huge café serving Yemeni coffee with plenty of seating - a great place to get work done. The Qamari Latte was lovely with its rich cardamom flavor. Definitely go with light sugar, as it can be quite sweet otherwise.

“This coffee shop is a great find.”

This coffee shop is a great find! While the parking lot is small, the place itself is surprisingly huge inside. They even have a conference room with a round table and a TV—perfect for meetings or group collaborations. The space is very modern, bright, and exceptionally clean. I stopped by on a Saturday morning, and it wasn’t busy at all, with only a few people inside, which made it a relaxing spot to enjoy my visit. The two staff members working were super nice and polite. Prices are reasonable, and both the coffee and pastries were delicious. Whether you’re looking to catch up with friends, get some work done, or simply relax with a great cup of coffee, I highly recommend this place.

The staff are super nice and the seating area is cozy and comfortable. They even surprised us with a free tres leches cake, such a thoughtful gesture. Really appreciated the warm hospitality. Highly recommend stopping by!

“This coffee shop is gorgeous and has lots of working space.”

This coffee shop is gorgeous and has lots of working space. You can purchase a medium pot of coffee (which is actually quite large) for $15 and sit and drink delicious coffee all day. They also have delicious pastries and desserts. I really hope this place stays around. The staff is really nice and there is even a conference room for meetings.

“Plenty of seating, many delicious menu options & decent service I'm a regular here at Qamaria in Albany Park.”

Plenty of seating, many delicious menu options & decent service I'm a regular here at Qamaria in Albany Park. It's a great place to do some remote work. The staff are mostly pleasant, and service is pretty fast! All of their espresso drinks, cold brew, tea, Yemeni coffee and tea are excellent! They're all on the sweeter side, so if you'd like some more balance, just ask the barista for a customization like half sweetness, etc. I've tried their "fatayer/muajjanat" (cheese, spinach, zaatar and pizza pies). They are all super tasty! Pictured is the iced cocoa and Ferrero Rocher cheese cake. They are both amazing! I was so blown away with everything Qamaria has to offer that I tried coordinating a catering/in-house event. Huge waste of my time! The staff there were super helpful with planning, but it appeared that the owner did not really know how to follow through with this. I was met with attitude from him. I regret even asking... despite that sour experience I will continue coming in for myself for my regular remote work outings. My advice: proceed with caution when ordering catering.

The staff here provides an amazing experience. They are attentive and accommodating. I’ve been to many Yemeni coffee shops in recent months, but this is my favorite to get the aidaroos tea. I recommend to all!

The vibe is sooo chill, feels like a place i could get some work done and get good food and awesome coffee. The server was really sweet and the Qamaria latte was amazing! For my non dairy queens get it with Oat so you can taste it in its full glory. For folks who can do dairy, the turkish pie is phenomenal!

Up until now I haven't tried yemeni coffee, and it's really good! Lots of cardamom in mine, and their Dubai chocolate is really good! Tons of space, friendly staff, and great hours too!

A group of ten of us came for some adeni chai after a long bike ride. We really enjoyed our teapot and the pretty Arab seating. The staff was incredible friendly and accommodated my friend by making him an extra adeni cup but vegan. That was really kind and we will be returning. I hope to see a qamaria opening in downtown though. Love the late night hours.

This is now definitely my favorite place in Albany Park to get tea or coffee and hang out for a while either on my own or with a friend. The food and drink is excellent. The atmosphere is relaxed, and while it's not stiflingly quiet by any means it's also a large enough space to where you don't have to feel like you're pushed into a stranger's conversation for lack of seating. And the late hours are also fantastic — as a night owl myself, it's wonderful to have something something open this late other than just bars.

“This place has so much to offer.”

This place has so much to offer! Their pistachio lattes are amazing. The barista was so sweet and allowed my sister and I to customize our latte. My sister loves strong coffee so she got her latte with more espresso shots to preserve the strong coffee taste and I got mine with only 1 shot because I like my coffee sweet and milky. The place is beautifully put together and bigger than expected. Definitely recommend if you want a latte and great customer service.
