Shibam Coffee: Cleveland Restaurant Guide

“I visited on Christmas and received a very warm greeting when I came in. The gentleman was very friendly. He even came to the table during my visit to see how everything was. It was very nice to have personal interaction. I had seen on social media the S'mores Latte many times and wanted to try it. I was exited that it was able to be made dairy free so I ordered it with almond milk. I also ordered a dessert while I was there. The Kataifi topping had me sold. Both were very delicious. The latte was not strong like some other places would make it. There was a perfect portion of all the flavors; not too milky or overpowering with coffee. The dessert was very light and creamy. The topping also had honey which added to the deliciousness. I enjoy everything in-house while enjoying the atmosphere. It was very clean and relaxing. This is a great place to catch up with family or friends or enjoy some time alone. While I was there I downloaded the app on my phone that not only gives rewards but allowed you to order in advance.”

“A beautiful establishment with amazing coffee and service. It was very welcoming when I walked in and the two employees were very helpful and nice. The Shibam latte I ordered was a recommendation by the woman up front and it was very delicious. I can’t wait to go back to try the desserts. I will want to get the same latte though, but I know I want to try so many more drinks. The kindness shown by both workers along with the amazing drink and beautiful design inside makes this place a wonderful choice for any coffee drinker! I had a much longer, more detailed review, but Google refreshed the page as I posted it and made me so sad lol. Just please understand this place is great! EDIT: I have since been here two more times and it has not been as good. It seems like the lattes I have gotten since then have been made poorly and it doesn’t taste outstanding like the first visit. I also have not gotten it in a cup with a heart on top since the first time and that makes me really upset. It’s still good, but now it just tastes like a normal coffee shop. I still love the atmosphere, but the service and actual quality has definitely gone down, so I have to lower my rating by one star. That first visit was amazing and now it’s like was that just a one time thing?”

“I’ve been to quite a few Yemeni coffee spots, and this one truly tops them all. I ordered the saffron milk cake, shibam latte, and adani chai and each one was exceptionally made. I especially appreciated that they were able to adjust the sweetness levels perfectly to my taste. I originally only ordered the adani chai and cake, but when the owner noticed I was curious about the shibam latte, he kindly brought one out for us to try, complimentary which was such a thoughtful gesture that really stood out. The atmosphere is elegant, clean, and aesthetic, with attention to detail all the way down to the logo and presentation. It’s clear they put genuine care into both their drinks and their space. We’ll definitely be coming back!”
