As far as I know, your Arabian coffee plant should be just fine -- a friend of mine, originally from India, tells me that the coffee leaves themselves can be dried and roasted, then ground and used as a coffee substitute.

I don't know if it's the same plant, but I think the botanical plant name of China doll is 'Radermachera' .. if so, it's generally safe to ingest, tho not recommended.

Here's also a site that lists plants that are non-toxic to pets ... if they're safe for our furry & feathered companions, they should be alright for us too ..
