New Coffee Spot Opens: Yemeni Inspired, Albunn Coffee House
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A new Yemeni inspired coffee house is now open here in Rochester! The Albunn Coffee House held a soft opening Wednesday to slowly introduce themselves to the public.
It's located right in Downtown Rochester, on East Avenue. They have traditional pastries and a variety of different sweets, as well as refreshers.
The first-ever coffee beans were exported in Mokha, Yemen, on the Red Sea, in the 15th century. The co-owner of Albunn, Kassim Shaibi said that had a lot of impact on why they wanted to open the spot in the first place.
'We want to try and bring this culture here and share the knowledge,' Shaibi said.
He also said they will have late night hours for those who want to explore Rochester's nightlife.
