HIGH POINT AREA

Haraz Coffee House

5824 Samet Drive, Suite 165, High Point, NC 27265 (Palladium Shopping Center, near the Greensboro border)

Instagram: @harazcoffeehouse

Facebook: Haraz Coffee House Greensboro

Soft Opened: August 1, 2026

Hours: Sun–Thu 8:00 AM–10:00 PM | Fri–Sat 8:00 AM–1:00 AM After the Grand Opening on August 14

Haraz Coffee House is one of the most exciting new additions to the High Point coffee scene — and to the entire Triad. Born in Dearborn, Michigan in 2021, Haraz was founded by Hamzah Nasser on a mission to share the rich heritage of Yemeni coffee culture with the world. The brand has grown to 30+ locations across the country, and its High Point opening marks the first Triad location of this nationally beloved Yemeni coffeehouse.

What makes Haraz different is the coffee itself. Traditional Yemeni pour-over coffee — rich, aromatic, and brewed with centuries-old techniques — sits alongside handcrafted espresso drinks, spiced qishr (ginger-infused Yemeni coffee husks), cardamom-forward lattes, spiced teas, and fresh-baked pastries including honeycomb cake, pistachio lattes, and Dubai chocolate brioche. The interiors are known for being stunning — white marble surfaces, intricate dark wood patterns, and a warm community atmosphere that encourages lingering.

Reviewers at other Haraz locations consistently rave about the pistachio latte, the Harazi Mufawar, and the Aden/karak tea. If you’ve been to the Charlotte or Raleigh-area locations, you know what’s coming — and if you haven’t, the High Point opening is the perfect chance to discover something truly special in the Triad.

• Authentic Yemeni coffee + handcrafted espresso drinks
• Traditional Harazi Mufawar, qishr, and spiced teas
• Fresh-baked pastries including honeycomb cake & pistachio latte
• Beautiful interior with marble and dark wood
• Follow @harazcoffeehouse for hours and updates as they ramp up post soft opening
