IN RECOGNITION OF IBRAHIM AL HASBANI AND QAHWAH HOUSE
______
HON. DEBBIE DINGELL
of michigan
in the house of representatives
Friday, August 13, 2021
Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ibrahim Al Hasbani, the founder of Qahwah House. Qahwah House was founded in Dearborn, Michigan, in 2018 as the first coffee shop of its kind to serve organic Yemeni coffee to Dearborn and beyond. Qahwah House's status as a Dearborn institution is worthy of commendation.
Qahwah House's mission is to provide customers with an exceptional coffee experience, using high quality premium organic coffee sourced from Ibrahim's family farm in Yemen. Since 2018, the shop has grown exponentially and has expanded its offerings to include authentic Yemini pastries. The popularity of the coffee shop has pushed Ibrahim to establish two additional locations, one in Canton, Michigan, and another in Brooklyn, New York--with more locations to come. The cafe that started out as just the idea of sharing delicious Yemeni coffee with neighbors has become a gathering spot for the people of Dearborn and beyond.
A household name in Southeast Michigan, Qahwah House has become a place for Michiganders of all ages and cultures. As an establishment that serves up more than just delicious coffee, they serve the local community by raising funds for the education of our youth. Hundreds of children in the Dearborn area and in Ibrahim's home of Yemen have benefited from their generosity.
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Ibrahim Al Hasbani of Qahwah House for being a cultural ambassador of the Yemeni community and for sharing his cultural roots for the world to enjoy.
