Haraz Coffee to Open Soon in Wesley Chapel, Bringing a Taste of Yemen to Florida
Wesley Chapel – August 3, 2025 (Qahwa World) – Coffee enthusiasts in Wesley Chapel can look forward to a new and culturally rich café experience with the upcoming opening of Haraz Coffee House at 1722 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., in the Shoppes at New Tampa plaza, next to Fine Ink Studios. A sign at the location reads “Brewing Soon,” sparking curiosity and anticipation among locals.
Founded in Detroit in 2021 by Hamzah Nasser, Haraz Coffee is rooted in a mission to share Yemen’s legendary coffee heritage with the world. The brand prides itself on sourcing premium Yemeni beans and preserving traditional coffee-making methods to offer what it describes as “bold, authentic flavors of Yemen in every cup.”
Since its launch, the chain has rapidly expanded to 31 locations across 13 U.S. states, with 185 additional outlets reportedly in development. The Wesley Chapel location will become Florida’s second, following an existing branch in Orlando.
The Haraz menu features a diverse selection of coffee and beverages that reflect both international and Middle Eastern tastes. Options range from classic espresso drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos to traditional preparations like Turkish and Saudi coffee. Unique offerings include spiced drinks infused with cardamom, ginger, or saffron, alongside non-coffee items like matcha, green tea, and hot chocolate.
Guests can also indulge in house-made desserts such as milk cakes, cheesecake, and cinnamon rolls. Additionally, Haraz sells branded merchandise, coffeemakers, and bulk coffee, catering to both casual drinkers and at-home brewers.
While the official opening date for the Wesley Chapel location remains unconfirmed, local anticipation is high. A representative from the Orlando branch confirmed that the new shop is managed by a separate franchisee and could not provide further details on the launch timeline.
