Our Story

A taste of Yemen,
right here in Berkeley.

Heyma Yemeni Coffee was born from a simple love — the deep, spiced aroma of qishr and buna that fills a kitchen in Sana'a. We brought that warmth to University Avenue so our neighbors can experience the same comfort we grew up with.

Every batch is prepared with intention: whole Yemeni beans, slow-roasted and hand-ground, brewed in the traditional Jebena method. Pair it with our fresh kubaneh, ma'amoul, or a jar of our house-made honey — and you've got a piece of home, wherever home is.

What We Offer

From our oven to
your hands.

Every item on our counter is made the way it always has been — by hand, with patience, and with real ingredients.

Traditional Yemeni buna coffee served in a small ceramic cup

Yemeni Buna

Whole-bean coffee, slow-roasted and ground fresh, brewed in a Jebena pot. Rich, earthy, and served with cardamom — just like in Sana'a.

A warm cup of qishr, a Yemeni coffee husk beverage with spices

Qishr

A comforting Yemeni staple made from coffee husks, ginger, and a touch of lime. Light, tangy, and deeply satisfying — perfect any time of day.

Freshly baked kubaneh bread, golden and layered

Kubaneh & Pastries

Flaky, buttery kubaneh pulled apart by hand, along with ma'amoul filled with dates or pistachios. Baked fresh — when it's available, it goes fast.

Whole Yemeni Arabica coffee beans in a small bowl

Whole Bean Coffee

Take the experience home. We sell whole-bean Yemeni coffee — single-origin from various regions including Moha and Sanani — ground to your preference.

A jar of golden honey with a wooden honey dipper

House-Made Honey & Spices

Our own batch of fragrant honey and curated Middle Eastern spices — za'atar, baharat, and more — for your kitchen at home.

Pitted Medjool dates arranged on a wooden board

Dates & Grocery Picks

Premium Medjool dates, imported teas, and a rotating selection of Middle Eastern groceries — everything you need for an authentic pantry.

The Heyma Experience

More than a café —
a place that feels like home.

When you walk through our door, you're not just grabbing a drink. You're stepping into a space where conversations linger, where the smell of cardamom coffee wraps around you, and where strangers become regulars.

We believe the best moments happen slowly — over a cup of properly brewed coffee, shared with someone you care about. That's the pace we keep at Heyma.

A Community Table

Open to everyone — students, families, neighbors. This is Berkeley's living room.

Rooted in Tradition

Every recipe has been passed down. We don't rush what takes time to perfect.

Quality You Can Taste

Single-origin Yemeni beans, real butter, no shortcuts. That's the Heyma promise.
