"A beautiful cultural gem tucked away in Carmel. Haifa Coffeehouse is a charming little spot hidden in an alley, and it ended up being one of the most memorable stops of our trip. The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming—you feel the warmth immediately. The coffee itself was outstanding: incredibly smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really sets this place apart is the intention behind the ingredients. They import turmeric for their golden milk directly from Egypt and coffee beans from Yemen, which adds a depth and authenticity you can truly taste. We ordered the golden milk, the Dubai mocha, and the Akka (pistachio latte). Every drink was delicious and beautifully balanced—comforting yet distinctive. An absolute must-try. Beyond the drinks, the space is rich with meaning. There’s a thoughtful tribute to the history of Palestine and stunning artwork throughout, creating a genuine sense of cultural immersion. It’s not just a coffee shop—it’s a place that brings the flavors, stories, and soul of the world together in a meaningful way. They also sell raw Yemeni coffee beans if you want to roast your own. I picked some up and can’t wait to try them. Haifa Coffeehouse is special—intentional, soulful, and deeply rooted in culture. A must-visit in Carmel."

"It is a very cute coffee shop tucked away but so worth a stop. They have delicious lattes and amazing prices. The staff is so kind and incredibly friendly. I will definitely be coming back. I cannot wait to try all their lattes! Truly had An amazing experience!"

"This was a wonderful spot to stop in during our trip in California! The coffee and food were all high quality and the woman working was amazing! She was running the place by herself, making the food and drinks while also managing the register and cleaning up. It was busy but she managed it all very impressively. We were blessed with a great visit and would love to return!"

"This is such a cute coffeehouse! As a Middle Eastern, it’s so nice to find a place that appreciates our culture, and this place does exactly that. The staff is so sweet and friendly, they were even kind enough to share the story behind opening this place up (definitely worth asking). The food and drinks are unique and delicious! Thank you for having us, and you will definitely see us again!"

"I am absolutely in love with this coffee shop! The drinks and pastries that they serve were delicious, and the staff and owner were so kind and welcoming. My mom and I stopped by while visiting carmel and we purchased coffee and a pistachio croissant, delishhhh! I'm obsessed with all of the palestinian/mexican inspired decor, it's amazing to see two such beautiful cultures mixed. We will be back with more friends and family next time we're in the area, this is definitely worth a stop! Thank you so much for the wonderful service!"
