Always love stopping by for a shake or a quick bite to eat! I especially love the pistachio ice cream. Everything is top notch, from the owners and staff to the food and drinks. I also always enjoy attending the open mic night they host on the first Saturday of every month. Highly recommend!

This was hands down one of my best experiences at a cafe. I went with a group of 9 frequent cafe-goers, and everything ordered was 10/10! My favorite was their specialty mocha pistachio latte— it was almost like a dubai chocolate drink, perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, and they use pistachio butter for the rich flavor. Though all their baklava and baked items were perfect, I especially loved the cranberry muffin. I plan to come back to try their bites, as everything is halal and the menu (and the place itself!) looks spectacular.

I really adore Qaalis. The staff is always very kind and attentive. No other cafe in Newark matches the vibes in Qaalis (trust me, I have looked). I may have abused their tolerance for laptop campers a bit during finals season but the staff was very kind about it. Additionally, Qaalis is a true community resource. I’ve witnessed the shop host learning seminars on the history of coffee and the significance of the cultural imagery amongst the decor. I’m so glad this wonderful small business exists. As an aside, I hope the rice pudding makes a reappearance on the menu.

WOW my hubby and I stumbled on this cafe this cafe after our HBCU FUNDRAISER RIDE.. we had the medium latte and cappuccino and this amazing pistachio cheesecake. OMG YOU MUST STOP IN.. beautiful atmosphere.. before leaving ordered the tuna melt and an extra pistachio cheesecake . Peyton was patient with us.. he is so polite .. excellent service

The hospitality here is truly top-tier. After a minor mix-up left me waiting 15 minutes for my karak chai, the owners personally stepped in and gifted me a complimentary tres leches. Not only was the chai exceptional, but the cake was easily one of the best I've ever had. It’s clear the management deeply values their guests. And I will be visiting often with my laptop because it is a cafe where you can get some productive work done easily. Thank you for the great hospitality!
