967 Coffee Co. is a Yemeni coffeehouse on Alpharetta Highway in Roswell, named for Yemen's international dialling code. It opened during Ramadan in early 2025 and is fully alcohol-free. The trading hours make it one of the latest-running rooms of any kind in north Fulton County: 7am to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 7am to 2am on Friday and Saturday. The drinks list runs Yemeni preparations and espresso side by side — Iced Adeni Chai and the Iced Yemeni Latte are the house pours, with qishr, Biscoff and pistachio lattes and a set of dragon fruit and strawberry refreshers filling out the board. Desserts sit alongside the coffee, and the seating is arranged for groups staying several hours rather than for takeaway trade.
Hours: Sun-Thu 7am-12am; Fri-Sat 7am-2am

Shibam Coffee is a Yemeni coffeehouse at North Point Parkway in Alpharetta, opened in February 2025 as one of the first Yemeni cafes to reach metro Atlanta's northern suburbs. The brand was founded in Dearborn, Michigan, and Wasim Nasir is a co-owner of the Alpharetta shop. It serves no alcohol, and it trades to midnight most nights and 2am on Friday and Saturday — genuinely late for this part of the metro, and the reason the room fills up with groups rather than laptops after dark. The menu covers classic Yemeni coffee served in the traditional style alongside espresso drinks, and a set of house specialities including the Shibam Royal, strawberry and raspberry mojitos built without alcohol, dragon fruit lemonade and a pistachio iced latte. Desserts and Yemeni pastries are sold alongside.
Hours: Mon-Thu 8am-12am; Fri-Sat 8am-2am; Sun 8am-12am

MOTW Coffee and Pastries is the Georgia branch of a specialty coffee and Arabic pastry chain that grew out of Muslims of the World, the storytelling platform Sajjad Shah started on Instagram. The Alpharetta shop sits on McGinnis Ferry Road and is fully alcohol-free, trading to 11pm Sunday through Thursday and to 1am on Friday and Saturday. That late close is what makes it useful as a going-out room rather than a morning stop, and it is one of the few in the far north metro. The counter pairs an espresso programme with Arabic pastries and desserts, and the company frames the cafe as an extension of its community and philanthropic work rather than as a straight retail concept. The Atlanta-area franchise is run by local owner Mudassir.
Hours: Mon-Thu 8am-11pm; Fri-Sat 9am-1am; Sun 9am-11pm

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. is a 3,600-square-foot Yemeni coffeehouse in the International Village shopping centre on North Berkeley Lake Road in Duluth, north-east of Atlanta. It is the largest cafe the chain has built, seating roughly 140 people across booths, tables and two lounge areas, and it is fully alcohol-free. Opening hours are the point of it: noon to midnight Monday through Thursday and 10am to 1am on Friday and Saturday, which puts it among the few late-night rooms in the north-eastern suburbs that pour nothing stronger than coffee. The beans are 100% Yemeni and are served in both traditional Yemeni and espresso preparations. Qishr, Adeni chai, the house Qamaria Latte and pistachio lattes anchor the drinks list, with cakes and honeycomb bread from a prep kitchen on site.
Hours: Mon-Thu 12pm-12am; Fri-Sat 10am-1am; Sun 10am-12am

Haraz Coffee House is a Yemeni coffeehouse on the ground floor of the University House building at 930 Spring Street in Midtown, and the first Georgia outpost of a chain founded by Hamzah Nasser in Dearborn, Michigan in 2021. It serves no alcohol at all, and it stays open to 10pm on weeknights and midnight on Friday and Saturday, which makes it an evening room rather than a morning coffee stop. The drinks list is split into Traditional, Espresso Bar, Iced Refreshers, Frappe and Cloud Matcha sections. The Traditional column carries the Yemeni preparations the brand is built on — Harazi Mufawar, Maleki, Sana'ani, Jubani and Qishr — alongside the Adeni Chai that fuses Yemeni tea leaves with Indian masala spicing, cardamom and cinnamon. Milk cakes and Arabic pastries fill out the counter.
Hours: Mon-Thu 8am-10pm; Fri-Sat 8am-12am; Sun 8am-10pm

Baladi Coffee is a family-owned Arabic coffeehouse on George Busbee Parkway in Kennesaw, run by Sarah and Allen, who describe it as "a Middle Eastern/Arabic coffee shop with influences from around the world". Baladi means "my homeland". It is fully alcohol-free and trades 7am to 10pm seven days a week, extending to midnight during Ramadan. The tea programme is the distinguishing feature: Adeni tea, Arabic tea, Yemeni tea and Pakistani chai are listed separately rather than folded into a single chai. Alongside them sit signature espresso drinks, a matcha list, and Peach Mango, Strawberry Acai and Watermelon Kiwi refreshers. The food counter runs to milk cake, kunafa and traditional and modern Arabic pastries, and there are further Baladi locations in Marietta and Athens.
Hours: Mon-Sun 7am-10pm
How this page decides what counts
Two facts, both verified, both required. First, the cafe's own record has to say that no alcohol is served — the same test that decides which venues we call alcohol-free anywhere on this site. A cafe whose listing is silent on alcohol does not qualify, even when it obviously does not have a bar; silence is not a claim, and the headline of this page is a claim. Second, its hours have to reach 9pm or later on at least one night. Hours come from the venue's live business listing and are re-synced every week, so “open until midnight” here means it was true the last time we checked, not when the page was written.
The order is by how late you can stay: rooms that close after midnight first, then those with the most late nights a week. Kava bars are not on this page — they have their own. Nor are bars or lounges with good non-alcoholic lists; those are on the Atlanta city page. This page is for the room where nobody is drinking and the lights are still on.
Questions people ask
Yes — we have verified 6 in Atlanta: 967 Coffee Co., Shibam Coffee, MOTW Coffee and Pastries, Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co., Haraz Coffee House, Baladi Coffee. Each one is listed because its verified record says no alcohol is served and its hours run to 9pm or later. The latest close we found is 2am.
No. A cafe appears on this page only when its own verified description states that no alcohol is served — not because it looks like a coffee shop, and not because of the cuisine. A cafe that also runs a licensed bar in the evening is not listed here, however good its tea.
5 of the 6 close after midnight on at least one night. Every cafe here closes at 9pm or later on some night; the card for each shows the latest closing time and how many nights a week it applies. These are the regular hours we verified — Muslim-owned cafes often stay open much later during Ramadan, sometimes past 3am, so check the venue's own channel before a late trip in that month.
It depends on the room. Yemeni coffeehouses pour spiced coffee and tea: mufawar (coffee with cardamom and cream), adeni chai (black tea with milk, cardamom and spices), qishr brewed from coffee husk, and a long list of lattes. Ethiopian houses roast single-origin beans and some hold a traditional coffee ceremony. Tea rooms pour oolong, pu-er, matcha and milk tea by the pot or the glass. All of it is caffeinated unless the menu says otherwise, so late-night regulars often switch to herbal tea or a dessert after the first cup.
No — these are public cafes and everyone is welcome. Many are Muslim-owned, and that is the reason they keep bar hours without a bar: in much of the Middle East and East Africa a night out has always meant coffee. Reporters and regulars alike describe the crowd as mixed — students, night-shift workers, people who have stopped drinking, and neighbours who simply want somewhere open late that is not loud.
