“We don’t just serve coffee. We serve care, culture, and connection.”

What Makes Us Different

We’re not just serving coffee — we’re sharing a story. Our menu celebrates the deep roots of coffee culture in Yemen, honoring the farms, the harvest, and the centuries-old craft behind every cup. Alongside our spiced Yemeni brews and signature drinks, we serve globally inspired dishes like shakshuka, Yemeni eggs, and salmon hollandaise benedict — thoughtfully prepared to complement our drinks and reflect Brooklyn’s diverse culinary scene. At Bon Tree Café, every sip and every bite is designed to connect you to tradition while embracing the creativity of modern café culture.

Our Unique Ingredients & Brewing Methods

One of our most talked-about ingredients? Coffee husks — known as Qesher in Arabic and Cascara in Spanish. This dried coffee cherry is a revelation for many guests, unlocking flavors they never knew existed.
Our brewing includes the traditional style of coffee with spices, simmered over open flames in its original form — or, in our modern kitchen, over induction heat.

What’s coming next….

By year’s end, expect seasonal fall and winter menus, limited-edition hats and shirts, and weekly live music to keep the vibes strong.

Coffee is the second most-consumed beverage in America after water — but it’s so much more than a caffeine boost. Each bean carries a journey of care, flavor, and craft. Like wine, coffee’s taste shifts with its origin and preparation. And at Bon Tree, it’s our baristas — the human element — who bring those flavors to life.
