Famous Yemen Sweets is a new addition to the Bay Ridge area and just opened last week! They feature the traditional Yemeni harissa dessert, a chocolate peanut flour mush that is very yummy! They also have halwa and some other candy-like items that I can only describe as something between Turkish delight and gummy candies. I will definitely be coming back again to try more and try to understand this mysterious new discovery in Bay Ridge.
The kind Yemeni man working there when we visited said they also plan to have fresh juice in the future. I really hope it happens soon! In the mean time, they serve some very light Arabic coffee. This is definitely a spot to go to if you want to try something really new and also very authentic. The sweets are $5.99 per pound.
There is seating inside the bakery where you can sit and enjoy the coffee and sweets. For the full Yemeni experience, you can go for a meal before at Yemen Restaurant (yelp.com/biz/yemen-resta…) right next door!
