Not long after Mission got its first Yemeni coffee shop, it appears to be another Johnson County city’s turn.

Qamaria, a Yemeni coffee company that got its start in Michigan, has filed plans to open a new storefront soon in Leawood.

Qamaria is coming to 3731 W. 133rd St.

• The coffee shop intends to take over a space at the Market Square shopping center, just off 135th Street and Mission Road in Leawood.
• A liquor store previously occupied the space.
• The shop will also be near grocery store Price Chopper at the shopping center.

Qamaria serves “premium” Yemeni coffee

• The cafe’s menu offers a variety of coffee drinks, made with beans sourced from Yemen (thought historically to be a birthplace of coffee as a beverage).
• Its signature latte, the Qamaria latte, is made with espresso, steamed milk, cinnamon and cardamom.
• Other coffee drinks on the menu include pistachio lattes, caramel macchiatos, and traditional Yemeni drinks like mufawar (medium roast coffee with cardamom and cream).
• In addition to coffee, Qamaria also serves other beverages like Adeni chai lattes, matcha lattes, fruity refreshers and smoothies.

This marks the first Qamaria shop in Johnson County

• The new cafe will also be Qamaria’s first shop in the wider Kansas City metro area, as well as Leawood’s first Yemeni coffee shop.
• Nearby in Overland Park, Missouri-based Mocha Point first brought Yemeni coffee to Johnson County earlier this year.
• Since then, a few other cafes have followed — including, most recently, a new franchise of New York-based Moka & Co in Mission.
