Adani tea was perfect 10/10. Pistachio milk cake and honey comb were both delicious. Prices are pretty reasonable and the ambience is modern. As it’s in the city, parking could be an issue at busier times. Finally a good tea spot in Richmond.

Great experience overall, the employees are super friendly and they always have a smile on their face . It is a very quiet atmosphere and feels like at home so it highly recommended for students to study . Not to mention their great fine tasting coffee and other drinks. Highly recommended!

I recently visited Qahwah House RVA with my wife, and it was a refreshing experience. I used to frequent this spot when it was a bookstore during my days at VCU, so it was nice to see it transformed into a vibrant coffee shop. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with the rich aroma of coffee filling the air, paired with Arabic music that set a relaxing tone. We tried the pistachio coffee and the Yamani coffee, both of which were delicious and unique in flavor. The coffee truly stood out, and it was clear a lot of care went into crafting these drinks. However, the pastries we sampled didn’t quite match the quality of the coffee. They were fine, but nothing extraordinary—they didn’t offer the burst of flavor I was hoping for. Service was generally good, but there were a couple of hiccups. Our drinks and pastries were ready, but the device they give you to alert you when your order is ready didn’t seem to work, so we were left waiting without a notification. It would be helpful if there was a screen menu available for customers to view before getting to the register, especially as we had a bit of a wait (around 25 minutes) due to the five or so people ahead of us. Overall, Qahwah House RVA is a great spot with a lot of potential. The vibe, coffee, and overall experience are fantastic, though some small tweaks—like improving the pastry offerings and the efficiency of the ordering system—could elevate the experience even further. I'll definitely be back to enjoy the coffee and atmosphere again soon!
