Qishr — A Yemeni tradition of warmth, spice, and gathering.
Crafted with Care
Signature Drinks
Each cup tells a story rooted in ancient Yemeni coffee traditions.
Our Heritage
Born from the Ancient
Coffee Lands of Yemen.
Long before espresso bars lined Silicon Valley streets, Yemen was brewing coffee in ways the world had yet to discover. Qishr — made from the dried husks of the coffee cherry — was the drink of hospitality, of morning gatherings, of stories shared over steam and spice.
We brought that tradition to San Jose, not as a novelty, but as a living practice. Every cup we serve is a bridge between two worlds.
What Our Guests Say
A Cup Full of Culture.
"The Qishr drink transported me straight to my grandmother's kitchen in Sana'a. Absolutely incredible — I've never tasted anything like it in the Bay Area."
"Amazing drinks and the most comfortable, beautiful café I've been to in San Jose. The pistachio latte is a work of art."
"Great service, warm atmosphere, and the Adeni tea is perfection. This place feels like a cultural experience, not just a coffee shop."
