Eating Around the World in Atl Episode 2: Yemen

Okay, so I promised more details about my trip to 967 Coffee Co. in Alpharetta, and I just have to share more about their incredible menu! When I first stepped into this Yemeni coffee shop, I was immediately drawn in by the warm, inviting atmosphere – it definitely lives up to the 'late night atmosphere' vibe I heard about. But let's get to the good stuff: the food and drinks! My absolute top recommendation from the 967 coffee menu is, without a doubt, their creamy Yemeni style coffee. It’s truly an experience in a cup. You know how some places just do a basic latte? This is on another level. It’s infused with warm spices like ginger, cardamom, and sometimes a hint of cloves, giving it such a distinctive, aromatic flavor profile. It's not overly sweet, but perfectly balanced, and the creaminess just makes it so comforting. I asked the barista a bit about it, and they mentioned it’s often made with a special brewing technique that really draws out the deep flavors of the beans and spices. If you love discovering unique coffee experiences, this is a non-negotiable must-try. It's a taste of Yemen right off the highway in Atlanta! And what pairs perfectly with an amazing coffee? A spectacular dessert, of course! The pistachio milk cake at 967 Coffee Co. is legendary for a reason. Imagine a light, fluffy cake soaked in a sweet, milky syrup, topped generously with crushed pistachios. Every bite is moist, subtly sweet, and has that delightful nutty crunch. It’s not too heavy, making it an ideal treat for a late-night catch-up with friends or a quiet moment to yourself. I’ve tried milk cakes at other places, but this one has a unique, authentic touch that makes it stand out. The richness of the pistachios really complements the spices in the coffee. Beyond these two stars, I also explored a bit more of the 967 coffee menu. They sometimes feature different variations of Yemeni teas, often brewed with mint or other herbs, which are incredibly refreshing. I noticed they also have some lighter pastry options that look perfect for a quick bite. While I didn't try everything on this visit, I saw other patrons enjoying what looked like traditional Yemeni bread, often served with honey or cheese, which I’ve definitely added to my list for next time. It’s clear they pride themselves on offering authentic flavors that transport you straight to Yemen. The staff was super friendly and happy to explain the different items on the menu, which is always a plus when you're trying something new. They’re passionate about sharing their culture through their delicious offerings. Whether you're looking for a strong espresso, a unique spiced coffee, or a delightful sweet treat, 967 Coffee Co. truly has something special. It’s the perfect spot for a unique evening out or a cozy afternoon. Seriously, if you're in the Roswell or Alpharetta area, or just looking for an incredible international food experience in Atlanta, you have to check out their menu and find your own favorites!
