Haraz Coffee House

Haraz is the Yemeni coffee house on Central Avenue in Plaza Midwood that helped start Charlotte’s late night coffee culture. It stays open long after the restaurants around it have closed, and the room is packed well after dinner most nights. Traditional preparations anchor the menu, and the iced pistachio latte shows up on every social feed in the city.
