Where To Sip Yemeni Coffee In Jackson Heights
Yemeni coffee and pistachio kunefe arrive behind a gold honeycomb facade at this Jackson Heights coffeehouse in Queens.
☕ Behind the honeycomb
Qahwah Valley is a Yemeni coffeehouse on 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights, marked by the gold honeycomb screen that wraps its storefront. Inside, a vaulted ceiling of white geometric latticework arches over tile-topped tables, and the counter pours cardamom-scented Yemeni coffee in small cups. The move is a warm wedge of pistachio kunefe next to that coffee, the shredded pastry dusted bright green and cut to order. Queens regulars linger over refills well into the evening, and the fretwork plaster lends the long room the calm of a Sanaa sitting parlor.
