About this listen
Yemeni coffee shops are popping up all over Ann Arbor — open late and packed full of students and locals. Notes of cardamom and cinnamon accompany their cosmopolitan yet cozy interiors, where patrons aren’t sipping on hot toddies or cocktails, but Adeni chais and pistachio matcha lattes. In our first episode, we ask why?
Through café soundscapes, student voices and experts on coffee history, Off-Beat traces Yemeni coffee from its 15th-century roots to its role today as a modern “third place”: not home, not work, just somewhere you’re allowed to stay.
