There are few places in West Virginia where you can experience authentic Yemeni flavors—and the newly opened Shibam Coffee Co. location is one of them.
You could probably drink a different kind of coffee every day without even leaving Morgantown. That’s thanks to our range of creative cafes—like the new Shibam Coffee Co. location at Suncrest Towne Centre.
Yemeni-style coffeehouses are having their moment across the country, and for good reason. Coffee shops in that region are famously cozy third spaces designed for the community to gather and enjoy great drinks and desserts. They’re all about comfort, aesthetic appeal, and sharing Yemeni culture.
You can find all of that and more at Shibam—but before you go, take a look at this list of the most unique drinks on the menu, drinks you’re not likely to find anywhere else in town:
- Tropical Dragon Fruit Refresher
Light, fruity, and refreshing—this one is for those days when you’re dreaming of summertime. - Pistachio Latte
Smooth espresso with creamy pistachio flavors—customers go nuts for this nutty brew. - Pumpkin Pie Latte
Who doesn’t love a pumpkin latte to celebrate fall? But the composition of this particular latte is what makes it—and the rest of Shibam’s coffee drinks—so special: The beans are hand-picked in Yemen’s highlands and then roasted at Shibam. - Mufawar
Smooth, comforting, and a bit spicy—these words encapsulate this traditional Yemeni coffee brewed with Yemeni spices like cardamom, plus milk. - Adeni Tea
This isn’t the type of tea you can buy in bags from a grocery store. It’s Yemeni spiced milk tea simmered with black tea, plus cardamom and milk.
But you can’t just order a drink. It would be impossible to leave Shibam without sampling at least one (or two, or three—yes, we speak from experience) of their mouthwatering, Instagram-worthy pastries.
There are the fruit-shaped pastries that went viral online, plus cheesecakes, donuts, and several desserts that spotlight pistachio and honey flavors. Pair it with one of those drinks we mentioned, plus the cozy atmosphere, and you’ll have a new favorite cafe. Thank us later.
