I feel like we say this almost every week now, but there\u2019s a new coffee shop in town \u2013 and a new Yemeni one at that \u2013 Shibam Coffee! <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

Shibam Coffee fills a storefront on the southeast corner of Sancus Boulevard and Lazelle Road, a little ways south of Polaris Parkway. (These address show up technically as Westerville.)<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

The corner space is beautifully decked out, with a long counter and a mix of two- and four-top tables spread throughout. There\u2019s also a drive-through!<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

The cases are filled with a mix of sweet and savory goods, from cakes to cheesecake, bagel sandwiches to honeycomb pastries.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

Like the other Yemeni coffee shops in town, Shibam\u2019s menu features a mix of traditional Yemeni drinks and classic Italian espresso drinks. The Yemeni coffees can be served in single portions or a kettle for sharing.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

I ordered a couple coffees and a slice of cake on my visit!<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

The Shibam coffee <\/strong>features light roast Yemeni coffee with quishr (spiced coffee husks), cardamon, cinnamon, ginger, and cream. They\u2019ll ask if you want sugar, too. I usually add a little.<\/p>\n

The drink is heavy on the ginger, earthy, and a little sweet.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

The sweetness was made up by the rich and moist slice of pistachio milk cake<\/strong> I tried. Very good pairing. Although I noticed that they also have version of the cake flavored with Lotus cookies, aka Biscoff! Next time\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

I also tasted the Shibam latte<\/strong>, with the same mix of spices as the Shibam coffee, but with espresso and foamed milk.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

Everything is nicely branded, too. Like Qamaria Yemeni Coffee<\/a> and Qahwah House<\/a>, Shibam is a chain originating from eastern Michigan, so their operations are pretty smooth already.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n

Shibam Coffee is open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, then 7 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n
