For Idriss Saleh, opening a new coffee house in the burgeoning city of Greenville is a dream come true. Not only is he able to share his culture with the general public, but he is also able to meet a wide variety of people who are flocking to his place for an experience that is just a bit out of the ordinary.

The new shop, a Yemeni and Arabic coffee house named QahWah, focuses on Middle Eastern coffee and tea beverages and is located at 105 N. Main St. QahWah means simply “coffee” in Arabic, but there’s nothing simple about the sprawling 4,750 square foot space located on two floors.
