The place has a good ambience, good to sit for work or any other gathering, peaceful place & good crowd. We ordered cappuccino, Iced - Mocha latte & Turkish coffee.
I loved the mocha latte,it was light & tasted v good. It’s a good place to hang-out with friends, with lots of coffee & dessert options.

Newly opened. Nice and clean aesthetic.

Iced Yemeni Latte was unique 4/5

I wish the honeycomb had cheese/cream inside like they usually do. 🙁 I really liked the bread and sesame with honey, but it’s missing the cream/cheese. 3/5

The Dubai pistachio chocolate heart, and cheesecake slice was delicious! 10/10 must try! I highly recommend and will come back for that!

My time at Matari Coffee was excellent. This is a brand new place that offers a great place to sit, ambience is top notch. Customer service is great very friendly staff, food and coffees are great specially the honey comb bread was freshly baked and tasted amazing. I have tried that in a lot of places but they have got the best one. I would highly recommended this place and i’m definitely coming back.

Great experience! This coffee shop is an absolute gem! The Dubai Chocolate was rich and decadent, the perfect blend of creamy and chocolatey. The Kanafa Cheesecake was crispy, buttery paired with the creamy cheesecake filling was a match made in dessert heaven. The hot chocolate was the perfect cozy drink, and the Turkish coffee was strong and flavorful, just the way I like it.

But beyond the delicious treats and drinks, the atmosphere of this place was so warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe was just perfect for relaxing and enjoying a sweet treat. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu! Also parking was a breeze.

Tried their Adeni tea( more Cardomon flavor) and Matari green tea, both of which were flavorful and served in generous portions for price. The ambience was excellent, with impressive outdoor seating equipped with space heaters for colder weather. Despite the late hour, the place was quite crowded even around midnight, so there might be a wait for a table. While their cakes and refreshers looked tempting, the taste was just okay. Might be a 5 star if they had cleaned the tables without requesting.

Review for Matari Coffee

Matari Coffee is a unique spot for those looking to experience authentic Yemeni flavors, but be prepared for a bit of a splurge. We tried their Mofawar coffee and Kashmir chai, both of which had bold, rich flavors and were clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The Yemeni coffee had a distinct, aromatic taste that stood out, and the Kashmir chai was smooth and perfectly spiced.

The place was very busy when we visited, which speaks to its popularity, but it did make for a slightly longer wait.

While the quality was good. The prices were a bit unjustifiable. We got a croissant wheel which was $12.

The cafe was decorated very nicely and had a great vibe.

Amazing choices of coffee! Matcha latte is delicious! Pistachio croissant was fresh and tasty! Staff is so professional and kind! I would definitely be back and I came from the city!

I recently visited Matari Yemeni Coffee Shop, and honestly, I was left underwhelmed by both the prices and the overall quality. The prices are extraordinarily inflated for what you’re getting. I tried the pistachio latte, which was good, but $8 for a coffee drink is absolutely outrageous. To make matters worse, despite ordering to stay in, they served my latte in a to-go cup.

The cakes didn’t look particularly impressive, but we decided to give them a try anyway. The tiramisu was slightly above average, but nothing special, and the forest cake was downright awful—dry and lacking flavor. What really left a bad taste was the pistachio croissant. At a shocking $12 for a croissant with pistachio filling, it was far from worth the price. The flavor was bland, and the quality was well below average for something so expensive.

We ended up paying nearly $50 for 3 cakes and 2 coffees, which felt completely unjustified considering the underwhelming quality. The atmosphere was also a letdown. The crowd was a bit strange and didn’t add to any positive vibe I was hoping for. Overall, I cannot recommend this place. For the prices they charge, you’d expect better quality food, service, and an overall better experience.
