TL;DR
Haraz Coffee, a specialty coffee brand, has opened its newest location in College Station, Texas, near the Texas A&M University campus. The brand now has over 60 locations nationwide, with 250 more in development.
Haraz Coffee, a fast-growing specialty coffee brand, opened its newest location at 2711 Texas Ave. S., Suite 400, College Station. The opening marks the brand’s continued expansion across the United States and its first location near the Texas A&M University campus.
The new College Station shop officially opened its doors Sept. 16 and operates 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. The location seats 70 guests inside and out, employs 18 people and offers Haraz’s full menu of specialty coffee drinks and fresh pastries in a space designed for both quick visits and longer stays. With Texas A&M students as a core part of its customer base, the shop was built to be a welcoming study and gathering spot close to campus.
Known for blending rich hospitality traditions with modern cafe design, Haraz has built its presence across North America by creating an elevated “third place” — a welcoming space outside of home and work where people gather, connect and build community. The brand sources high-quality beans and delivers rich, aromatic brews with distinctive, carefully crafted flavor profiles, built on a hospitality-first approach designed to outlast any single trend.
The College Station location features Haraz’s full menu of specialty coffee and espresso drinks, including lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, cold brew, frappes and signature Haraz drinks, along with ceremonial matcha, iced refreshers, teas, smoothies, pastries, desserts and light cafe offerings. The menu also includes traditional drinks such as Adeni chai and Sana’ani-style coffee. With extended hours and a warm, welcoming cafe environment, Haraz is designed as a place where guests can linger, work, study, gather with friends or simply enjoy a quality drink at their own pace.
“As a College Station local, I have watched this community grow, and I wanted to build a coffee shop that gives students and neighbors alike a place that feels like home. We encourage people to stay a while, and we have made sure there are plenty of outlets for laptops and phones, which matters so much for students. Haraz is about specialty coffee done right, and I cannot wait for people to try our fresh drinks and pastries and make this their new favorite spot in Aggieland,” said Ali Kareem, owner of the College Station location.
The College Station opening adds to Haraz Coffee’s growing national footprint, which now includes more than 60 locations nationwide, with 250 more in development. Texas has emerged as one of the brand’s most active markets, with locations now open in Arlington, Katy, College Station, Sugar Land, Pearland, Cypress and two San Antonio locations, alongside recent openings in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, Pleasanton and Mountain View, California, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“Texas has been an incredible market for Haraz. From Arlington to San Antonio, and now College Station, communities across the state have embraced what we do, and that means everything to us. We are proud to keep growing here and grateful for how warmly Texas has welcomed Haraz every step of the way,” said Hamzah Nasser, founder and CEO, Haraz Coffee.
