    I love their cakes here! Friends and I dropped in on a late Saturday night for a sweet treat and I was so pleasantly surprised by their cakes. It was soft and airy and not too sweet. I like that this place opens late and it has a great ambiance for sitting and enjoying tea and desserts. Can't wait to go back again!

    Wow spontaneous date night wandering around town. After dinner my boyfriend and I looked up dessert spots in the area and decided to go to Mar7aba Iraqi Café in Anaheim as it was the most unique option. The cashier in the front lacked training. Poor knowledge of her products. I asked if any of their beverages were de-caf as it was already late when we came. I was specifically intrigued by something another customer ordered and I asked if there was any caffeine, she said no. Then the owner or manager comes out and was like NO, I told you there was. There's actually A LOT OF CAFFEINE in that. Awkward! I wanted to extra support the business to try things on my first visit so I did settle on the Lime Tea ($5) for a noncaffeinated beverage. For the dessert they had a whole case of different looking baklava but the cashier couldn't really tell me what was different about them. It can't just be the shape right?? Maybe add some labels for your staff if there are training barriers. I ended up just picking a random piece of Baklava ($8). We also got a Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake ($14.99). I'm looking at my receipt now and I see a 3% credit card charge. I'm mad because there was no warning of this CC charge. I had cash I could have used if I was warned. The serving was really clumsy too. The owner or manager put the items on the tray but instead of just handing it to me, she put it towards the cashier to hand to me. But the cashier was busy helping another customer. I'm not a fan of the delays... it really would have been easier if she just handed it to me. Her staff is clearly struggling already. The lime tea has a herbal medicinal taste that I like but I don't think it's for everyone. The baklava was a bit stale. Not sure if that's because we came later in the day. It tasted okay, but just stale and lacking the flakiness that I enjoy in a typical baklava. I was literally thinking they might benefit from making less variety and preserving it better. As for the Dubai chocolate cheesecake, it was our favorite from a taste point of view. From a pastry point of view, the top layer is too thick in consistency. It could be a bit smoother. The middle layer gets smushed from being too soft as you eat it. Oh well... still tasty. I want to like the business. I would like to come back in the future and try other items, enjoy some caffeine during the daytime, and hope their staff is better trained by the time I come back.

    Pistachio and raspberry cakes.

    Cute cafe with cute desserts! Went here for an after dinner dessert. Ended up grabbing a pistachio and a raspberry cake. Was debating whether to get a drink - we asked for what was uncaffeinated and was actually offered drinks that definitely did have caffeine in it. We opted for water and our cakes. The pistachio cake was fantastic - chocolate and pistachios - can't go wrong with that, and there's the texture of bits of pistachios that work well. The raspberry cake ... a bit of a miss for me - the amount of raspberry icing was a bit much that it ended up being a bit medicinal for our taste. Would come back - perhaps will try some baklava or cheesecake next time around.

    Biscoff cake and iced americano
    Jasmine C.

    I rarely give 5 stars for a cafe but this place is so worth it! We ordered a biscoff cake and iced americano and they were AMAZING! Iced americano was not watered down which I loved. Biscoff cake is a must to try!!! Another great thing is that the person who was working was super nice and welcoming. It is located inside a small plaza so there are free parking spaces. Will definitely go back to try more of their delicious cakes

    Raspberry cake & lime tea

    Cute spot you'd never expect to find on the corner of Brookhurst & Orangethorpe behind the gas station. I've seen this little place pop up on my feed a few times and finally decided to come sit and have a tea and pastry on a cold evening. They still had a decent selection of cakes and baklava at 6pm. Ordered the raspberry cake which was perfect for two. Also got the lime tea (first time trying a Turkish tea). I'm honestly not sure what it was...it was quite sweet and tangy while super earthy. Reminded me of Yerba mate with a ton of honey and lime. (I could be super off but that's my profile take on it). Honestly this is a cute spot to pull over and get a coffee or tea and get a little treat. It was very comfortable on a rainy day and the presentation of items was well done too.

    First time visiting this Iraqi café as we were on the lookout for a new spot to kick off the new year and we're so glad we found it. The café has a cozy, warm ambiance with warm lighting. It's an intimate space with about 8 tables, first come first serve (no reservations), which adds to its charm and relaxed vibe. The drink menu is simple and thoughtfully curated, featuring Iraqi tea and coffee. We tried the Iraqi tea, a latte, and a few desserts, most notably the chocolate raspberry, which was absolutely outstanding. Hands down one of the best desserts we've had. The Belgian chocolate shell with a raspberry filling inside was rich, balanced, and not overly sweet. Truly impressive. All the cakes are made by the owner, and you can really taste the care and quality in each bite. The Iraqi tea was flavorful and a bit strong for our preference, but still enjoyable. Next time, we'll ask for a little hot water to dilute it slightly, personal preference more than anything. As we were leaving, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Hiba, who was incredibly warm and welcoming. That personal touch really elevated the entire experience. We're already looking forward to coming back and we're excited to check out their shawarma spot opening just a couple of doors down in about two weeks (same ownership!). Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a cozy café with amazing desserts and genuine hospitality.

    Lotus Biscoff Tres Leches (5/5): sweet and very good, cake had a smooth texture, biscoff wasn't too overpowering, had the perfect balance of flavors Price: $10.99 Iced Banana Matcha (1/5): could taste a lot of the matcha powder, tasted completely like soybean milk, no banana flavor, not worth the price Price: $8 for matcha, $1 extra for oat milk, $0.75 to add banana, Total: $9.75 I got an ube cheesecake ($13.99) to-go for my mom and she thought it was really good. I recommend trying the cakes. My friend ordered the lime tea ($5) and liked it. She said it was very citrusy and had a herbal taste. However, I tried it and the lime was too strong and tasted a little like medicine. (1/5) My total was $43.99 for four items, which is very pricey. There is also a 3% credit card surcharge that they should have mentioned. Not sure if I would come back because it's too expensive for their cake and tea. The service didn't feel very welcoming either.

    This place is just beyond. The desserts here are so insanely good. They're on the more expensive side but so worth it, you'll see once you take a bite. They pair well with the bitterness of the Turkish coffee. We ordered the pistachio cake and biscoff cake. The pistachio cake was our favorite. The chocolate interior is decadent and creamy and pistachio layer was thick and divine. I loved the pieces of actual pistachio layered into the cake. The biscoff cake was also rich and creamy. This was on the sweeter side. Would love to come back some day to try the cheesecakes!

    I'm glad I finally got the chance to try Mar7aba cafe, I had seen a few videos on TikTok that enticed me and I'm glad to report it was well worth it! The raspberry cake was tart and not overly sweet, bought it thinking I'd take a few bites and have the rest for later but I inhaled that bad boy. The tea was yummy as well but the dessert was my favorite. The staff were nice and the ambiance is cozy and relaxing. There's a parking lot with plenty of spots.

    I came here in the afternoon with a friend to catch up and grab something sweet. There was plenty of parking, which was a nice surprise. As soon as we walked in, it felt like stepping into a beautiful Middle Eastern sanctuary. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The space was cozy and full of Arabic decor, with lots of seating. The cake selection was amazing!! SO many mini cakes that looked perfect and hard to choose from! We ended up trying the biscoff cake and a slice of the Dubai chocolate cheesecake. Both were delicious. We also got karak chai, both hot and iced. It had a strong, spiced flavor and was creamy and comforting. We stayed for a while chatting and relaxing. I really recommend this place and will definitely be coming back. I love Arabic-style coffee shops, and I'm happy to see more of them opening!

    Amazing experience/visit and we loved all the desserts and drinks there. The milk tea (unsweetened) pairs so well with the sweets. We had the pistachio cheesecake, which was amazing. I was expecting it to be a firmer texture but it was silky smooth. The biscoff cake was also delicious and has cookie butter inside. Since it's tall, it can be shared with friends. The baklava was delicious - my favorite was the dark chocolate one. All of the desserts come on these beautiful trays and the milk tea in a jug on a stand with a candle inside. The inside of the cafe is beautiful and has comfortable spots for groups to gather and hang out. Will be back again in the future!

    Came here on a Friday evening and was welcomed in with smiles. All the employees were very friendly and helpful. We got the triple chocolate cake and the biscoff cake. It was very delicious and not too sweet. Will definitely come back here to try other cakes they got

    pistachio latte and hazelnut latte
    Gerson V.

    This coffee shop is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and a warm, inviting atmosphere. We ordered the hazelnut coffee and the pistachio latte they were both great choices. The customer service was excellent as well. The lady recommended the pistachio latte to my girlfriend, and it turned out to be a fantastic drink.

    Craving matcha turned into a mild parking obstacle course near California State University,…read moreFullerton, because apparently the real challenge is fitting your car into a space designed for a bicycle with confidence issues. Inside Vivot, it's giving "finals week survival zone" with students glued to laptops, one brave employee running the entire operation, and a self-order kiosk doing its best emotional support role. We kept our Matcha Latte classy, 25% sweetness with oat milk to really interrogate the matcha and honestly it passed the vibe check!! Smooth, solid, and worth the parking gymnastics. Oh and also, they are open late, closes at 11pm week nights and midnight on weekends.

    Came here bc it's the only cafe around in a city full of bars. I understand their most popular…read moredrinks are the matcha, but I don't think it's an excuse to slack off on the other drinks. I had ordered a milk tea and their Thai tea and was super disappointed with the flavor it was complete milk unfortunately and no sweeteners despite us having the 100% sweetener option. The drinks came out very far from each other time wise as well which isn't a super big issue but it's noticeable and could be an issue for bigger orders. Super busy somehow so we didn't want to burden the worker while the store had a rush. Other than that the place gave me a very pretentious vibe. I'm all for starting a business you're passionate about but it's hard to see what's different about THIS cafe in a world full of other businesses claiming to be different that's serving the same items (matcha specifically). Not to say that there's not bad matcha or coffee out there, there is. Seems like the type of cafe people go to take a picture of their drinks and pretend like they're connoisseurs and pretend that it's "different" than whatever else is out there and sit and pretend to study on their laptop (even though it's the loudest and crowded place in the world in there). Seeing that the place opened recently, it's very hard to believe this isn't some type of money grab for a younger audience to serve trendy drinks. Or at the very least, a very expensive passion project for the owner. Overall just more focused on aesthetics more than anything.

    One of my favorite coffee shops. The interior is small with only a few tables but what they serve…read moreis superb. I visited on a weekday afternoon and ordered a Biscoff latte and a lemon bar. I sat at the one available table and savored both items. The Biscoff latte was iced, with just enough ice to make it cold. I appreciate that they didn't overdo the ice like most coffee places. The flavor of cookie butter was vivid, sweet, and delicious. The cream top and crumbles of Biscoff added to the visual appeal. The lemon bar was slightly sweet and citrusy, with a tasty thin outer crust, the top of which was sprinkled with powdered sugar. For me, this was a perfect lemon bar in every way. If I lived anywhere near here, this would be a regular stop.

    First time here and it was a nice, easy stop. I tried the black sesame oat latte and the biscotti…read morelatte. Both were good, just nothing that really stood out just yet. Service was really good. The place inside is cute with a clean, minimal vibe. There are small white tables lined along the wall with a bench and stools and some simple decor and artwork that gives it a cozy feel. It's not very big, but there were still plenty of open tables which was nice. Everything was clean and parking was easy since it's in a shopping center. I'm looking forward to trying more next time. Deff a decent spot if you're in the area and want something simple and low key.
