Qahwati opens in Ferndale

What to expect: An extensive menu of traditional coffee drinks (latte, cappuccino, cortado, etc.), pastries and Yemeni-style drinks with citrusy flavors, honey and spices like cardamom.

• The cafe's large windows bring in tons of natural light. The decor is almost all white, adding to the atmosphere's brightness.
• The Wi-Fi is free and there's flavored water on tap.
• Parking is available in nearby public lots and on surrounding streets.

Dig in: I ordered a small Nomad latte with oat milk for $6.50.

• The spices and citrus flavors were well-balanced and unique. The total bill was over $8 with tip, but I stayed for two hours writing today's 1 big thing.
• The view of lunch-hour traffic on Woodward kept my visit interesting.

If you go: Open 8am-4pm, Monday-Thursday; 8am-6pm on Friday; 9am-6pm on Saturday; 9am-4pm on Sunday.
