Arwa Yemeni Coffee is now open on McKinney’s western border.
The shop offers traditional Yemeni coffee and tea such as Sanaani coffee, Qishr, Mofawer, Jubani and Adeni tea, as well as signature Arwa beverages like the date matcha latte and sand dune latte. Other offerings include classic espresso drinks, smoothies and more. Coffee served at the shop is sourced from coffee beans grown in Yemen’s Haraz region that have fruity, floral and chocolate flavor notes.
“Founded around the idea that coffee is more than a beverage, Arwa offers an experience where coffee, culture and community come together,” co-owner Oshin Ahmed said in an email.
The context
The shop, which began a soft opening in late October, is owned by six friends—Oshin Ahmed, Sufi Al Ahmed, Sushmita Biswas, Alvi Sakib, Aniqa Jannath and Ahnaf Hassan—who have frequented the Richardson location of Arwa Yemeni Coffee for years.
