👋 Megan here! Yemeni coffee shops are picking up steam in San Antonio.
The intrigue: One of the latest additions is Haraz Coffee House, which opened in February in the Medical Center. The chain started in Dearborn, Mich., in 2021 and now has around 50 locations nationwide.
The vibe: It's bright and airy with white walls and floors, boho pendant lights and lots of seating.
What to try: The pistachio latte ($7.95).
Six-word review: Velvety top with distinctly nutty flavor.
Zoom out: There are at least three Yemeni coffee shops in San Antonio. Qatra Specialty Coffee was the first to open last year, and Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. opened in March. All are near the Medical Center.
What's next: Haraz is planning a second San Antonio location on the Far West Side that could open this month.
I'm headed back to try a sweet treat and a cloud matcha.
