About Us

Welcome to Zaman Coffee House

Four brothers from Jordan bring a taste of home — and a sense of community — to Central New York. Zaman Coffee House is more than a coffee shop; it's a tribute to our culture, our journey, and to a time when coffee wasn't just a drink, but a ritual. Coffee originated in the Arab world over 1,200 years ago, with Yemen widely regarded as the birthplace of Arabica beans — a variety still considered among the finest in the world. We're proud of that legacy. Zaman — which means "Time" or "Time Long Gone" in Arabic — is our way of honoring it. We longed for a space like this for years, and now we're building it for others who share that longing — whether they're from the Middle East or just culturally curious.

Our Signature Collection

Discover the authentic flavors that make Zaman Coffee House a true Middle Eastern experience — hot drinks, iced specialties, and fresh desserts.
