Product itself: I ordered the Spanish latte with regular milk (7/10), the rose milk cake (10/10), and pistachio milk cake (9.3/10). The latte was good, the strength and flavoring was just like something I could make at home myself. The cakes were very moist and delicious I just wished the pistachio tasted the tiniest bit more like pistachio, but it was probably one of the best pistachio desserts I've ever had. The rose is so unique and amazing I highly recommend. Customer service: I was helped by Jenna I believe was her name (so sorry if I'm wrong) and she was very helpful trying to narrow down what to get from such a big menu. Very kind and attentive! Value: I spent $21.63 and I think for a cafe this is normal pricing for two pastries and a latte in San Diego. So I would say for what you get the value is good. Atmosphere: This is probably the most unique factor about this cafe is that it is the perfect space to work from. Maybe about 20 different tables, couches, chairs, a little office, outlets everywhere, and they are open until 11pm most nights and 12am Sundays! The vibe/theme is Yemeni I believe and it just adds the perfect little touches to this clean, open, and welcoming environment. I don't believe I'd find another place with this perfect ambiance again. Overall experience: I really enjoyed it. The latte wasn't the best so I definitely will try something else next time and order another shot in my drink, some of the desserts did not look as good as the milk cakes so I don't think I would like them as much. But for my first time this place was great and I would definitely recommend it.

This spot is so good for studying, I want to gatekeep so hard. As a a cafe queen, trust me when I say this spot has the main essentials. Slacious tabkes, comfy seating, strong WiFi, outlets, parking validation, great drinks, caffeine (some drinks had Red Bull), sweets and food. Service is friendly. Lighting is calming.

Pistachio milk cake, date latte
April P.

Such a beautiful coffee shop with a ton of seating! This is a great place to study, get some work done, or catch up with a friend, the place was packed but despite the crowd the wait was not long at all. The drinks and all the food options were incredible!! There aren't many places that have unique flavors like this. The date shake latte was sweetened so well, and the pistachio milk cake was AMAZING!! One of the best milk cake I've ever had!! The owner, Mohammed, was super friendly and accommodating and all of the staff were friendly as well. They also validate parking in the garage which is a HUGE plus!

Spanish latte + date latte
Ken M.

Absolutely phenomenal. No notes. My sister sent me this place on TikTok as she had been on a 20 week bodybuilding diet and wanted a pistachio baklava as her first treat back. We got it to-go alongside a honeycomb pastry. Both were outstanding. To drink, we got the date latte, spanish latte, and a cortado (not pictured). We were in heaven. Delah Coffee beans are very tasty- they paired well with the sweetness of the lattes. I will definitely say that this is not a spot I could stop at daily as everything was fairly sweet and rich. No complaints though!! In an area full of hundreds of coffee shops, this spot is a gem.

Honey bread, pistachio latte, and Turkish coffee
Ginger P.

This is a huge cafe with lots of seating, very open and clean. Great place to chat. The desserts in the cabinet look amazing. We had the honey pull apart and it's pretty good! They have an amazing pistachio latte, probably my favorite pistachio latte in San Diego. My husband loved the Turkish coffee and it had a great presentation. The first time we tried this cafe, we went again in the same week. I really like this cafe. The girls working the counter were friendly too.

Turkish Coffee and Turkish delights
Joe C.

This is an absolutely beautiful coffee shop with amazing Turkish coffee, Turkish delights, and absolutely wonderful customer service. I highly recommend trying the traditional Turkish coffee with some Turkish delights to accompany it. I look forward to coming back time and time again.

The coffee was delicious. The syrups and ingredients were good but more than that the core of the drink, the roast, was especially tasty! The inside was very spacious and comfortable and the decor was cozy. Everything was very reasonably priced too. You spend the same amount as other coffee shops but get a way better drink. Might be my favorite coffee shop in North Park/Normal Heights area so far

Im becoming such a pistachio fan My friend recommended @delahcoffeehousesandiego to me and hyped up their Pistachio Latte -- I was not disappointed! If you're ever in North Park, Delah is an Authentic Arabic Coffee Shop with a great selection of good teas, coffee, and/or any of their delicious sweets and treats they have. I ordered the Pistachio Latte half sweet just in case and it is delicious. Some friends of mine have already gone back multiple times! PLUS! They are open until 11pm on weekdays which is so hard to find for coffee shops when you need to work late, study, or simply enjoy coffee with a friend in the evening.

Will have to come back for coffee but stopped by for tea and dessert after dinner here with a friend. Staff is friendly, coffee shop itself is spacious and very pretty. Dessert was too sweet for me (comes with the territory of loukoum), tea was good and strong. Will definitely be back!

This place was soooo good! I absolutely loved it. The reason we came here was because a wonderful lady at the House of Palestine recommended it because the owners are either Palestinian or support Palestine. The workers were amazing, super helpful and nice, and made the experience wonderful. It was actually pretty big inside as well with a separate room as well it looked like for meetings or such. I wasn't sure what to get so we got a lot of stuff to try. We're from LA so we wanted to splurge. The rose and oreo milk cakes were yummy and moist, my bf loved the oreo one. The rose latte was so yummy, not too sweet with a nice rose flavor, but the star of the show was the pistachio latte. It was so perfectly sweet. Next time we're in SD, I will gladly come back.

I hate to update my review, but the way management or owner treats their employees/baristas makes patrons feel uncomfortable. I have encountered this on multiple occasions. Granted, this place does have some good drinks and sweets. It's a good place to hang out and or work, but I will not be coming back as there are many other coffee shops in the area. Hope this place improves.

Delah has been all over social media lately. I had several friends from outside San Diego send me reels of this place and tell me I had to check it out, so I finally did. I was a little hesitant because parking in North Park can be such a pain, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out they offer up to four hours of free validated parking. That's a huge plus, and honestly not something many cafés in North Park offer. The pastries all looked amazing, but I wasn't really in the mood for food, so I ordered the pistachio latte instead. WOW it was so good! Definitely one of the better pistachio lattes I've had. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I really liked the atmosphere inside. There are plenty of tables, and it seems like a popular spot for people to study, work, or just hang out. I can definitely see myself coming back to get some work done over a good cup of coffee.

An Arabic‑style coffee shop -- unique and definitely worth a try. This place is usually busy every time I walk by, so I finally decided to stop in. The space is large with plenty of seating, and a lot of people come here to work or study. There's usually a line to order, but the drinks come out quickly. They give you a buzzer so you know exactly when your order is ready for pickup. They have a huge selection of sweet and savory pastries and specialty drinks. I asked the barista for recommendations that weren't too sweet and for a savory pastry. I went with her picks: an iced Yemen latte with less sweetener and the beef‑and‑cheese pastry warmed up. Both were excellent and had a distinct Arabic flavor profile -- new for me, and I loved it. They also offer validated parking, which is rare and such a plus. I'd recommend this spot if you're open to trying coffee that's a little different from the typical European‑style cafés. I'd definitely come back.

Locals and foodies know about this place. The only challenge here is finding parking…read more There is a paid parking lot south on Union street and that is only a 5-minute walk including the wait at the stop light. This place sells itself. If you want to have an amazing dessert experience this is the place! There is another location north of this location about a 7-minute drive but there are not as many tables. The same inventory but the parking is even more limited. The ordering workflow can be confusing at this location but here's how it works. The line on the left lets you view the dessert display that line will get you to the cashier but patrons think the line starts at the cashier. It does not, it can be confusing. I recommend having one person in your party stand in line near the register and have another party stand in line near the dessert display case on the left side. Swap places with your party if they want a better visual of the desserts. The coffee, tea and lemonade are good here, just be patient with your order it's a process here but the wait is worth it. Enjoy!

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

It was a warm day but we got there at 5:15pm and the sun was starting to go behind the downtown buildings. Negative: service. It seems if you are a regular, like the two tables near us, they chat it up and talk about how things are. If you aren't a regular, they just quickly come by and say "anything else?" the two times they came by. Im a huge water drinker so the carafe they brought only refilled our cups once. Never got another one until we were done and they came by asking about dessert. They weren't busy by any stretch on a Tuesday evening but apparently the frequent customers either tip really well or they prefer familiar faces. I assume the latter. So, I mean the food itself was great but service was not good. I mean we went when it was slow too and the host was talking it up with a frequent customer also asking about the changes recently to parking in their area nearby.... So, it puts this review as a 3/5.

They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better.

If you're waiting in line or making the trip out, I'd highly recommend adding a cake or pastry to your order. We came on Saturday around 11:30am and there was a line outside that took about 30 minutes to get in. While we were waiting, we saw parking enforcement come around a few times so make sure that you pay the meter! The inside is soo cute! We ended up staying here for a bit and studying because it was super spacious and cozy. There is a lot of seating in the front and back and even outside too! A lot of people were there working as well. There are plenty of outlets available so that was nice. If you do plan on studying/working, just bring noise cancelling headphones cuz it does get loud. The biscoff matcha latte was pretty sweet and the matcha flavor was not that strong but it was definitely a dessert more than a drink. Their cakes are pretty great too, I don't like cake but their cakes are worth trying. I liked the banana dessert the best though, it was like a banana pudding.
