New Yemeni coffee shop is opening in this Sacramento neighborhood. What’s on the menu?
Qisa Coffee, a cafe dedicated to serving Yemeni coffee infused with Peshawari flavor, is opening this week in Sacramento.
The coffee shop will celebrate its soft opening at 2348 Castro Way, Suite 101, on Friday, the business announced via Instagram.
Qisa is joining other businesses at Curtis Park at The Amalia, a Spanish Revival-inspired building featuring apartments, retail spaces and offices.
What is Qisa Coffee?
While Qisa Coffee is a new addition to Sacramento’s cafe scene, its signature Yemeni coffee has already made its mark in the capital city.
Owner Abdul Aziz shared that Curtis Park will be the permanent location for Baklava and Coffee, a coffee and dessert pop-up that has been serving the Sacramento region for nearly three years.
Qisa Coffee will be a home for its customers “where memories are made, stories are shared, and moments are celebrated with friends and family,” the business shared in an Instagram post.
What’s on the menu at new Sacramento coffee shop?
According to its website, Qisa Coffee will serve caffeinated drinks and small bites.
One of the items on the menu is Narnia Lokum, a dessert also known as Turkish delight that’s featured in the movie “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.”
Other food options include honey bites, a snack filled with cheese and honey, and Arabic-style savory pies filled with cheese or ground beef.
Qisa Coffee will serve Yemeni coffee drinks infused with Peshawari flavor, including:
- Qisa Latte
- Karak Chai
- Turkish Cold Brew
- Turkish Coffee
More items will be available when the cafe opens, according to its website.
