Sweet Eye Origins
Sweet Eye roasts their coffee in-house with beans sourced from Yemen, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Brazil, and beyond. You’ll see bags from around the world displayed proudly above the bar. And chances are, your cup was roasted that very morning by owner Aimen Alaina.
Their name, Sweet Eye, is a nod to Ein El Hilweh, a Palestinian refugee camp Aimen’s family came from. It’s a reminder that, even in hardship, there’s always room for warmth, hospitality, and a good cup of coffee.

Sweet Eye’s extended hours make it a perfect hangout for students, night owls, a drink with the girlies, or the perfect work from home spot:
