Yemeni coffee spot for Rockville

Haraz Coffee House, a Michigan-based chain specializing in Yemeni-style drinks and sweets, is heading to Rockville’s Federal Plaza. It’s taking over the long-empty space that once belonged to the Chinese restaurant Seven Seas, which closed in 2018 after 31 years. Haraz, which has grown to more than 60 locations since it launched in 2021, is named for a village in Yemen where its beans are sourced. Along with a long list of coffees, the menu also includes matcha drinks, fruit refreshers, Adeni (spiced milk) tea and halal pastries. Haraz is the second Middle Eastern coffee chain to expand to our area this year, following the recent debut of Saudi-style Shotted at Westfield Montgomery mall.

Nonprofit animal protection organization sends a cease and desist letter to Mallard demanding it stop advertising its foie gras as “responsibly-farmed” and sourced “exclusively from humanely-raised and fed ducks.”

Update from Ben Williamson, Executive Director of Animal Outlook:. “We’re pleased Mallard has taken down the claim (describing its foie gras as “responsibly-farmed” and sourced “exclusively from humanely-raised and fed ducks,”). It’s hard to read that as anything but a recognition that foie gras isn’t something they can credibly call humane. Having reached that conclusion, they should cancel the dinner. Our letter also asks them to notify guests who booked on the strength of the original ad, and we’re still waiting on a written response by 5pm Monday.”
