Qishr Coffee House brings centuries of Yemeni spiced coffee tradition to the Bay Area, one intentional cup at a time.
Some coffee shops sell caffeine. Qishr Coffee House sells a culture. Rooted in Yemen's centuries-old coffee tradition, this San Jose café is built around Qishr, a spiced coffee drink that has warmed homes across the Arabian Peninsula long before specialty coffee became a trend. Every detail here, from the way drinks are layered to the way they are presented, reflects a hospitality culture where guests are treated as honored company.
Step through the door and the aroma alone signals that something different is happening here. Guests who have traveled widely in search of authentic Yemeni coffee have called this place a discovery. The café earns its 4.7-star rating not through gimmicks but through consistency and craft, bringing the flavors and artistry of a proud coffee heritage to an audience that is hungry for the real thing.
Located at 90 Skyport Dr #140 in San Jose, Qishr Coffee House is open seven days a week, with late hours that stretch well past midnight on weekends. Whether you arrive at 7 AM for a morning ritual or at midnight for a quiet cup, the same care goes into every glass.
Qishr Coffee House centers its menu on traditional Yemeni-inspired specialty drinks, with Qishr and spiced coffee preparations at experience. These are not approximations of a tradition but genuine expressions of it, crafted with the flavors and techniques that define Yemeni coffee culture. The café also features beautifully presented desserts and specialty drinks that reward guests who take their time.
Dine-in is the soul of the experience. The space is designed to be lingered in, with an atmosphere that feels modern yet deeply rooted in Middle Eastern café culture. For guests on the move, online ordering is available so you can order ahead and pick up without the wait.
Hours are built for real life. The café opens at 7 AM Monday through Friday and at 8 AM on weekends. Closing time runs to 1 AM Sunday through Thursday and to 2 AM on Friday and Saturday, making this one of the few specialty cafés in the South Bay where a late-night craving for something extraordinary can actually be satisfied.
