I literally need a rooftop to scream from. This sandwich was sooo gooood. I'm only mad because I'm not hungry anymore. When will I be hungry again? Will.I.EVER.be hungry again [clapping hands emphatically btw]? All the coffee drinks are made with love. The staff here - crème de la creme of human beings. What can I say about them?

Right off, I will rarely have anything bad to say about a coffee shop that opens at 7AM and has prosecco, wine and beer on the menu. We could have just come in from an overseas flight and for us it's 9PM. Great spot with indoor seating and outdoor seating along sidewalk. If sitting outside the College side is sunnier in the morning and louder. The Hudson side is quieter and less sunny. Also, there is a parklet on Hudson side. Lots of coffee options eventhough I just take it black. Lots of food options also. I had a bacon, egg and cheese sando on sour dough. No carbo Monday starts on..... Monday. I camped just inside the door to the right at a small high counter with 2 plugs along the bottom. Have to keep the electronics charged up you know. So staff is nice seems the people taking orders new everybody's name as they walked in so totally all locals, except for me. I was here for almost 4 hours on my computer and phone and it was not an issue. There were other people here when I came in and still there when I left. I could spend most of my day working here. As cofffee shops go it's one of the best. Having prosecco and wine definitely pushes this place onto 5 star catagory.

The interior makes one feel that you are in a high end cafe with its beautiful decor. Some many items to choose from, the person taking my order was very helpful in explaining the different kinds of drinks and pastries. Ordered the Ginger Honey Jobani as a hot drink, Biscoff Milkcake, Honeycomb, and a Beef Fatayer. There were several kinds of milkcakes which would have the texture like a tres leches cake. The Honeycomb had pockets of cream cheese and was drizzles with honey. The Meat Fatayer is like an empanada. The food and drink were very tasty. Highly recommend to stop by Sanaa Cafe and experience it. Their website shows more cafe openings in the future!

Easily accessible by public transportation, and is a short walk from Ashby BART. I love Middle Eastern Desserts, so when I was invited to a casual gathering here, I was delighted to check out Milyar's offerings. It was verrrryyyyy slowwwwww. I think we all waited 20 minutes-ish as they rolled out our orders. Because I'm a sucker for desserts, here's what I tried: Pistachio milk cake: suuuuper moist Chicken mustan: warm and savory with shredded chicken on the inside Knafeh cheesecake: Cheesecake Factory could never! Knafeh has grown on me since I first tried it, and I enjoyed this in cheesecake form. Pistachio Baklava: a classic! This was nice and big, like a small pie slice, and was soooo good. They also gave our gathering a Dubai chocolate milk cake and two baklavas for free.

They have plenty of seating, and one of the biggest advantages is their excellent Wi-Fi speed, which makes it a reliable spot for remote work or studying. The atmosphere is enjoyable as well. There's usually music playing or a sports game on the TV, creating a comfortable, laid-back environment without being distracting. Their food selection is also better than you'd expect from a coffee shop. In addition to coffee and pastries, they offer cakes, breakfast items, and a variety of other snacks and treats, so there's always something to pair with your drink. Their hours are convenient, making it easy to stop by throughout the day. The only area where I think there's room for improvement is cleanliness. I've noticed on several occasions that when I arrive shortly after opening--sometimes within 30 minutes to an hour--there are still crumbs on the chairs, tables, and floor, even when there haven't been many customers yet. First impressions matter, and the café should be fully cleaned and ready for guests before the doors open. Customers shouldn't have to wipe down their own tables before sitting. Overall, I really enjoy coming here and would absolutely recommend it for the atmosphere, Wi-Fi, seating, and food options. With a little more attention to cleanliness before opening each day, it would be an even better experience.
