Arwa Yemeni Coffee - Bolingbrook, Illinois

This is a hidden gem in Bolingbrook. We tried 4 drinks while we there and a couple pastries. There is one drink we would not order again; the limeade. It was not mixed right, it was above being tart for a limeade drink.
The other 3 drinks were great. We tried the Chai, a coffee and matcha.
The order line went fast, the wait for drinks and food was almost 30 minutes. There were alot of people in the café. If you are looking for a quick and out, not going to happen. We enjoyed our sweets while we waited for a storm to pass through.
The cafe is beautifully decorated. The staff was extremely nice and apologized for the waiting.
If you have the time, stop into Arwa.

I had the immense pleasure of working with Rabia to utilize the gorgeous private Jasper room for an event. Everyone from the staff to the owners are such a delight and will have you feeling like family by the time you leave. If the atmosphere and welcoming staff weren’t enough, the food and drinks are the absolute cherry on top. I tried the red tea and Dubai chocolate cheesecake last week and my mouth is still watering.

I rarely leave reviews, but this place absolutely deserves it. Arwa Yemeni Coffee in Bolingbrook completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment you walk in, there’s this warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. The coffee? Next level. Deep, rich, and unlike anything I’ve had before—it’s clear they take a lot of pride in what they serve. I also appreciated how friendly and patient the staff were. They took the time to explain the different drinks and even gave a few great recommendations. It’s become one of my favorite spots, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.

Such a beautiful café to catch up with friends or get some work done. They even have a reflection/prayer room and spotless bathrooms. With drinks for every age, it’s definitely worth a visit—highly recommend!

Very nice ambience. Great place to meet people, study, work, or simply enjoy a refreshing beverage.

Spanish latte was one of the best in Chicagoland.

I stopped by this new coffee shop, and it was a great experience. The smell of fresh coffee hit me as soon as I walked in, and the place had a warm, inviting feel. The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the sweets were soft, sweet, and just right. The staff was friendly and helpful, making sure I had a good time. The whole place had a nice vibe, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing others along. If you love good coffee and tasty treats, this spot is worth checking out!

This is my first time trying middle eastern coffee. Unlike regular coffee, they add all kinds of exotic spices to it to give the flavor more depth. This is also a great place to sit, relax, and hang out. Very well decorated with that ostentatious middle eastern vibe. It was so good that I went back 2 hours later to try another drink! Their harissa cookies are also really good.

Arwa Yemeni Coffee in Bolingbrook is off to an incredible start! The grand opening was packed, but there was still plenty of seating and ample parking, making it easy to enjoy the experience. Their menu is exceptional and unique compared to the Dallas location, offering a fantastic variety of drinks and desserts.

The service here is very exceptional and the staff is very friendly. The owners Rabia and Yasir are also really kind.

We didn't get to try the chai this time (sleep was calling!), but the Mango Refresher and Blood Dragon Refresher were both amazing--refreshing, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The dessert selection is next-level, featuring everything from Funfetti and Oreo cake pops to cheesecakes in mango, saffron, Oreo, and pistachio flavors. The Banana Pudding, Lotus Pudding, Rose cardamom Milkcakes, and Strawberry Milkcakes all looked incredible as well!

Their interior is actually pretty beautiful too with a lot of art and design from the Yemeni culture. They also have artifacts from Yemen and a really cool painting.

One of the coolest things on the menu is the Traditional Sampler, which includes four different drinks--perfect for anyone who wants to explore the flavors, including their famous Adeni Chai.

Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! Can't wait to come back and try more.
