"I got hooked on Yemeni coffee beans while traveling in Egypt, and HEYMA Coffee absolutely nails that flavor profile. The coffee is rich, deep, and aromatic, clearly treated with care, not rushed or over-roasted. If you’re into proper coffee, this will hit. It reminds me of traditional Turkish-style coffee, especially that warm, subtly sweet spice note (cardamom) that adds depth without overpowering the beans. The rose milk cake has strong dulce de leche energy: soft, milky, lightly floral, finished with pistachios. It’s indulgent but balanced, and it pairs beautifully with the coffee. Great atmosphere, thoughtful menu, and it’s located right by Civic Center BART and well connected to the rest of downtown. Definitely worth checking out."

"Wonderful wonderful place, from the hot food to the warm service; very hospitable, lovely decor, very clean environment, great music, wifi.. definitely returning.. the brunch is a must try I ordered the foul. Highly recommend"

"Love love love the vibe! The food was delicious and the staff were all so amazing and kind. We had 20 people coming in and they were so accomodating and supportive. Highly recommend for breakfast and if you need a conference room theirs is really nice and free!"

"I found this place because it was pretty close to my hotel, and I am SO glad I stopped here! They're awesome! The first time I came in I got the biscof milk cake, biscof cheesecake, and the eclair latte!!! I started walking back to my hotel and couldn't wait to try all of it. Incase you don't already know what biscoff is... It's cookie butter!! And it's to die for! So as I was walking back to my room I started eating the biscoff milk cake.... OMG SO GOOD!! I literally stopped and turned back around and went to go get more!!! Everything was so fresh and amazing! I've come back every day I've been here damn near lol. Their prices are a little high, but their service is great, and everything is so fresh! I recommend this place to EVERYONE!! I absolutely love this place!!"

"What a delicious and delightful place to eat! Great decor, lovely semi-private alcoves and private back room, AMAZING food, I got the foul, the orange blossom coffee, and the rose milk cake. Great music, kind staff, cannot over-recommend."
