Delah Coffee

There is no doubt, it is the best coffee shop in all of Oakland, CA.

The time I was there, I went almost daily for my coffee: Rose Delah Latte or Yamine Latte are my favorites and their desserts are delicious.

The atmosphere is extremely pleasant, the decoration is beautiful and the music is always at an appropriate volume.

They are friendly with pets, my kitten was always welcomed.

And I want to highlight the most is that all the staff is very attentive and sweet, always with a smile and the best attitude.

My gratitude and my love to them for being so good to me.

If you are in Oakland, don't miss the opportunity to go to this sensational place.

Thank you so much for everything.

Title: "Delah Coffee: A Melody of Flavors and Memories"

Artisanal, Inviting, Unforgettable

Delah Coffee, nestled near the vibrant heart of Oakland and the serene Lake Merritt, serves as a canvas for coffee craftsmanship. Their commitment to sustainably sourced, micro-roasted beans crafts not just coffee but a sensory journey.

Within its walls, the air flows with the aroma of passion, each cup a testament to their devotion to the craft.The ambiance, a blend of eclectic charm and a warm, inviting atmosphere, sets the stage for a unique experience. It's here, among the friendly faces and the soft backdrop of curated music, that Hadil, the barista, introduced me to a revelation—a cappuccino enriched with cardamom and cinnamon. This creation, paired with the delicate sweetness of Turkish Delights, fig, and honey, encapsulates the essence of Delah Coffee's mission.

Service here moves with the precision and care of an art form, ensuring every moment is imbued with meaning and every sip is a memory in the making. Delah Coffee stands as a beacon of quality and sustainability, proving that coffee is indeed an art and a bridge to community and culture.

A festival for turkish delight lovers. Had been with a bunch of friends, and we ordered almost all the desserts available on their menu, and every item nailed in pleasing the taste buds. The interiors align with the cuisine the cafe represents, and the people who served us provided great recommendations.

Delah means delicate, and they stand up to it. Every dish and coffee is unique and delicately crafted. The best Arabic coffee I had in a while.

Friendly staff, even gave a complimentary cheesecake since we did not get a table for 10 mins.

The place gives off an authentic Turkish/Yemen vibe, with murals, quotes, furniture and so soon.

Rose milk cake was my fav dessert there.

Amazing Yemeni coffee house the pasteries were amazing the best baklava I’ve ever had! And they had many flavors of Turkish delight the rose was my favorite. I didn’t get a coffee but the refresher I got was super tasty but a little too sweet. My partner said her chai was very good too.

This cafe is so cute and perfect for a study session or even a first date. The rose cake was SO good, the chai was perfectly made, and the baklava was spot on. Also, the service was so warm and welcoming! Definitely coming back, love this place!!

A wonderful Yemeni cafe that stands out against other cafes in the area as unique. With rose lattes, desserts with middle eastern flavors, and a wide selection of filter coffees, Delah has something for everyone! It’s not a huge space inside, but there is ample space to bring a laptop, or a couple friends, to sit down and enjoy some coffee and pastries.

I was in Oakland and happened to walk past this place. Looks interesting enough from the outside so I decided to give it a try. I got a cup of pour over coffee, matcha latte and rose milk cake. All were great quality but the coffee was nothing like I ever had. I could taste and feel the strength of the coffee without the overly burnt beans. To add, staff were friendly and interior is beautiful. I wish they would open a location in South Bay. Will be back and bring some friends!

I’m not from here, I was struggling finding a good Arabic coffee since most places have African/other types of coffee! I am obsessed with this coffee place… not only did I find authentic Arabic coffee but the cakes are outstanding especially the Saffron milk cake… the only thing is the stuffed beef and chicken triangle things, they weren’t fresh fresh. But everything else was amazing including the services and the music ( a hint too loud as I was yelling a little lol to order! My new favourite coffee place in Oakland now.

If you’re looking for a coffee shop that has some Middle Eastern vibes, this is the place to go to! Their Yemeni latte is a unique experience. We tried their baklava and it was fine, and they have many sweets options that one can choose from.
Also I wouldn’t recommend studying there since it can get noisy, but the atmosphere itself is special. I’d go there to enjoy the place and the experience!

The rose delah latte was delicious. Would definitely recommend light sweet. Pistachio baklava was moist, sweet, crunchy and delicious. Ambience and decor is on point.

Wow, just wow. The first time I've ever found true Saudi (Gulf Arabic) coffee in the US! It's exactly like drinking coffee in Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Oman.

If you have never tried Arabic qawa, try it now!

I’ve been to several Yemeni coffee shops in different cities across the country, and the coffee here is on par with some of the best. I didn’t have any of the pastries here, but the honeycomb with the cream cheese filling is usually a great pairing with their coffee. They also sell medium to large pots that you can get for a group, which is usually a better value if you are going with multiple people.

The interior is really nice with several wall paintings and accents that highlight the Yemeni origin.

The only tasty Adeni Chai in the entirety of the Bay Area. I literally travel a century miles round trip almost every day just to get their Chai and Milk Cakes because it's that good! Great ambience as well. Just one thing I'd like to add for the store owners: please extend your open hours a bit more because it's still early for a lot of Asians to stop craving coffee/tea at 10pm and travelers don't get to spend enough time either.
The pro of this location over SF: their hours are better on the weekend

Really delicious Arabic coffee and the eats are fresh and not overly sweet. Highly recommended the pistachio milk cake

Definitely one of the prettiest cafes I've ever visited.

The walls, ceilings, and art are transporting, and as nice as any cafe in the Middle East.

Service was friendly and prompt.

Food and beverages were good.

Wifi and seating were ample.

Yemeni food is awesome, as always.

Looking forward to visiting and bringing friends and family!

I came here for the first time. It's a good place to study or to meet friends. I got the Yemeni chai latte, which I thought was great. They have a no-sugar option, which is something you cannot get at the bubble tea shops.

Nice little coffee shop in Oakland. Lovely interiors.. Visited this coffee shop on a Sunday evening . We were lucky to get a table. Ordered the Adheni chai and the kawhah.. will be back to try their coffee and baklava ..

Pastries are the must try once’s here. Parking is not free.

I had been meaning to go to Delah forever. Today I finally went. Instant addiction to the Delah Mofawar - medium roast with cardamom and cream! DELICIOUS. I also had a pistachio sweet that was great. Loved the interior. I will be back tomorrow.
