Yemeni Cafe Sweet Times: Mazajj Organic Coffee

👋 Shafaq here back with another Yemeni cafe — this time, near the Galleria. 

Dig in: After the success of its Katy location, Mazajj Organic Coffee opened a location in Uptown a couple of months ago.

• The cafe offers classic Yemeni favorites, and true to Yemeni style, it stays open late — until midnight most nights and 1am on Fridays and Saturdays. 

The vibe: When I visited, it had a mix of remote workers and business meetings. 

What to order: The server recommended the Adeni chai and the Mazajj latte. Both were cozy and not in-your-face strong, in a good way. Drinks were priced around $4-6. 

• They also have the viral Dubai chocolate, filled with pistachio and kataifi pastry, which was rich and indulgent. The lighter pistachio cake offered a nice balance.
