Where Coffee Began
Before coffee shops existed anywhere else, there was Yemen. The terraced mountains, the port of Mocha, the farmers who figured it all out first — that's where this started. Not in a lab. Not in a corporate roastery. In the hills.
Yemeni coffee tastes different because it isdifferent. High altitude, sun-dried, and processed the old way. You get chocolate, warm spice, dried fruit — flavors that can't be replicated by cutting corners.
This isn't trivia we put on a menu board. It's the reason we opened.
Why QahwaTime?
Coffee started in Yemen. We bring that same energy to Berkeley.
Straight from Yemen
Our beans come from the same mountain terraces where coffee was first grown centuries ago. No middlemen, no mystery origins.
Roasted Right
Small batches, done by hand. We roast until the chocolate, spice, and dried fruit notes hit just right.
Made with Respect
Every drink carries the weight of a tradition that started this whole thing. You'll taste the difference.

Not Just Coffee
We didn't open QahwaTime to sell lattes. We opened it because this coffee deserves a place that does it justice. The beans, the process, the way it's served — none of it is an afterthought.
