Yemeni coffeehouses, particularly Qahwah House, are gaining popularity in the U.S., especially among late-night diners. These cafes offer a unique experience centered around coffee and community, catering to Muslims who seek alcohol alternatives. The cultural impact is evident in neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where locations of Qahwah House are often crowded late into the night, reflecting a growing trend of Yemeni coffee culture that spans multiple states. As more immigrants open these spaces, they provide not just coffee but a welcoming atmosphere that attracts diverse crowds, enhancing local cafe culture.
On a recent Saturday night, diners in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, took their rightful places at the natural wine bars, pizza shops and taquerias across the neighborhood.
Yemeni immigrants are making their mark on the U.S. coffee industry and shifting cafe culture late into the night.
With Qahwah House, Mr. Alhasbani was eager to create a late-night alternative for Muslims who do not drink.
It's not just a cup of coffee, said Ibrahim Alhasbani, the founder of Qahwah House. It's a whole experience.
