Caffeena Coffee House is the latest Yemeni-American coffee concept headed to Oakland later this year.

The big picture: The Michigan-based company markets a luxury specialty coffee brand "dedicated to preserving and sharing Yemeni coffee's rich heritage," per its website.

Zoom in: Signature offerings will include Turkish and Yemeni coffees, teas, croissants, pastries, and sandwiches.

Renderings shared with Axios show a marble-and-gold interior planned for the heart of Oakland.
Company representatives said in a news release that Caffeena will feature a meditation and multi-faith room open to people of all religions and backgrounds.

Zoom out: The Pittsburgh café joins Caffeena's growing national footprint, part of a five-year, $5 million plan to open at least 50 cafés by 2030, per the company. Other cafes are planned in New York and North Carolina.

It will join Shibam Coffee, another Yemeni-inspired cafe that opened last year at 4630 Centre Ave. in Oakland.

What's next: Caffeena Coffee House is slated to open at 3520 Forbes Ave. sometime this summer.
