Dallas has many wonderful coffee shops, but here are 10 we're excited about right now.
Arwa Yemini Coffee
888 S. Greenville Ave., No. 223, RichardsonArwa is a Yemeni coffee shop owned by sisters-in-law Susan Shihab and Nora Soofi. The shop name, according to Shihab and Soofi, comes from Queen Arwa, a strong female figure in Yemen's history. Arwa offers Yemeni coffee roasted in-house, teas and specialty sweets, like harissa confections and rich stuffed dates. Or have a pastry from La Casita. The Arabic music and the aesthetic are truly escapist. The art, lighting and traditional communal seating make this coffee shop special, described by customers as a “symphony for the senses.” Signature drinks include a jubani made with coffee and husks (cascara), cardamom, ginger and cinnamon ($4). The Adeni tea is made with premium black tea, milk, sugar and an Arwa spice blend ($5). Do not miss out on the dates or harissa.
