Caramel Tres Leches!
Zahraa F.

Oooh love this place! If you are looking for a cute spot, with easy parking, very late at night to hangout and chat with friends or for a cute date, this place is open!!! Beautiful set up, low middle eastern music in the background, and friendly girls helping us choose between all the yummy options!! I had to go there on 2 consecutive days because I had to try more lol. The coffee is great, the dessert places are HUGE! good thing they tasted good! I wish they start offering small peices for people to be able to try all the options they have. Service was quick, we hung out on that green couch! Can't wait to visit again!

Karak Tea and pistachio cheesecake
Shirley H.

Absolutely fell in love with this tea house. We visited on a weekend afternoon and ordered a pot of Karak tea and a slice of pistachio cheesecake. The tea was soo delicious and fragrant. Sitting on their comfy couches and drinking tea was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. Since it was the two of us, we couldn't finish all of it and they gladly put the remainder in a takeaway cup. The pistachio cheesecake was lovely as well. Not too sweet and full of pistachio flavor. We cannot wait to come back and try more teas and pastries!

Lotus Biscoff Cake
Derek T.

When I tell you this place is amazing, it's truly amazing. You can see by the bites in the cake before we took pictures. So anyway, what's good? Anything. We got some tea to start off, lime tea is a little too tart for me but my wife loved it! The karak tea was a nice complement to the cakes. The lotus biscoff cake was simply heavenly. It's the epitome of not too sweet. The cake was so spongey, couldn't get enough of it. The Pistachio cake was a little sweeter since they had chocolate in it too. But still, it was not too sweet. Same thing, spongey cake that's not dry at all. In another lifetime I'd have eaten two cakes myself but we gotta watch out figure these days yeah?

I loved it here! This was recommended us by the hookah lounge next door and ya Habibi! It did not disappoint! The coffee's were delicious, service was a little off putting. It would have been nice to feel more welcomed. The decor was nice. Different seating areas. Super cute place to come get some pastries or sweets. I did not enjoy the chocolate baklava sadly. It was stale. I will definitely come back!

Late and Chai
Nawar F.

Yaaba, Shako Mako? What a delightful experience visiting Mar7aba Cafe. The service, beverages, delicious sweets, and atmosphere get's a solid 5 starts! Service with a smile: The lady barista was super friendly. We were greeted with a smile. To start, We ordered an iced caramel late and a chai, both lovely. The options for sweets looked amazing, but we just had lunch so barely room for a bite or two. We had the chocolate baqlawa, sprinkled with pistachio bits. I've had baqlawa, but never had a chocolate version before. Man, it was rich, but not too sweet, yet very tasty. Kudo's to the pastry Chef! If you don't know much about Iraq, you will miss the design & decorative details. From the broad Babylonian Cuneiform writing across the front and wall, to the small little decorative details like the small Kerosene heater (Soopa) in the corner. Finally, The atmosphere was very relaxing with chill music to enjoy it all. Mumtaz and Well done Mer7aba Owners and Staff. Happy to support a local Anaheim business. We will certainly be back to try more of what's on the menu.

Lotus Biscoff Cake
Julie H.

Stopped by on a Tuesday around 5:30pm for the Lotus Biscoff cheesecake, but it was sold out. Ended up trying the Lotus Biscoff cake instead, and it was sooo delicious! Perfectly sweet without being overpowering, and all the flavors came together really well. The cake was $14- a generous portion and enough to share between two. I'll definitely be back to try more items!

Bathroom vibes
Ashley R.

This cute little shop is tucked away behind a gas station so kind of easy to miss, but definitely worth finding. The inside is super charming, with cozy décor and a few tables to sit and enjoy your treats. There's even a cute little sofa area near the restroom, which adds to the overall vibe. And yes, the restroom has a long mirror that's perfect for a quick photo op lol. The girl who took my order tonight was super friendly and sweet she was a 10/10 for me with customer service! I ordered the pistachio matcha and it was so good. I also picked up a Biscoff mini cake for my best friend, and she loved it. Personally, I was expecting a stronger Biscoff flavor, but it leaned more toward a light, creamy pastry. Still soft, tasty, and enjoyable. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more drinks and pastries. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth stopping by!

This place really shocked me. The interior is stunningly beautiful and well decorated. The employees were so incredibly welcoming and friendly. I ordered the Iced Pistachio Latte and the Red Raspberry Cake. The latte was delicious and was well balanced with all of the flavors. The Red Raspberry Cake, however, wow. That was the best cake I've ever had in my life. It was so delicious I was savoring every moment. Definitely coming back and bringing all of my friends.

Pistachio chocolate cake
Steven M.

It's been a while, but came here again last night for some dessert and tried the pistachio chocolate cake. The desserts are pretty amazing here and the staff are consistently friendly. The flavor of chocolate and pistachio pair together nicely, but I do recommend sharing the cake with a friend and pairing it with a beverage because of its rich decadent flavor.

exterior, business front
Van D.

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.
Arthur E.

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.

Lounge area near bathroom - perfect hideaway in the back to chat with friends.

I was looking for some coffee and stumbled upon this hidden gem. Drive past this street all the time and you'd never think twice that a lovely cafe would be here. I got the Turkish coffee because I've always wanted to try it; it was earthy and fragrant. Surprisingly not too bitter despite having no milk and being strong. The barista was nice enough to answer my questions about the drink since I never had it before. I paired my coffee with a pistachio basque cheesecake and it was such a lovely pairing! The creamy, not too sweet cheesecake with the bold, robust Turkish coffee was top tier and I'm glad I didn't get a latte because it would've been too heavy with a milk-based drink. The space is really peaceful and had pleasant music playing so I think it would be a nice place to study as it is very clean, has charging stations, and is a very comfy/aesthetic environment. Definitely coming back to try the tres leches cake which is apparently different from the Latino version!

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!

Came in last night for a quick bite. Lots of people smoking hookah on the patio but I sat inside…read more Wasn't super hungry so I just got the lentil soup and hawawshy, which is an Egyptian street food where they stuff pita bread with ground beef and spices. Both dishes were good but not amazing. Another customer came in and I overheard him say, "this seems more like a hookah spot than a food spot." I'd have to agree with him

Came here for the first time with friends on our lunch break. We really enjoyed the food. We…read moreordered the Koshary, Lamb Kabsa, Stuffed Pigeon with Rice, and the Kunafa for dessert. We sought out the Koshary because it is the national dish of Egypt. It was really delicious especially with their garlic and hot sauce added to it. The Lamb Kabsa was really good as well. The flavors were great and I would definitely order it again if I was craving lamb. The Stuffed Pigeon sounded really unique and I'm glad that we ordered it. It was our first time trying pigeon and we all enjoyed it. The meat is pretty tender and the skin was crispy. Definitely a must try if you're at the restaurant. We shared the Kunafa, which we also really enjoyed. The center of the dessert is filled with a sweet custard. You have the option of adding Nutella on the top of the dessert which we didn't do. My main complaint is with the service because our server was constantly away and on two occasions, I had to search for him to place our order and to follow up on payment. The restaurant wasn't very busy as we were one of three tables that were occupied. Our lunch duration was easily extended 30-minutes due to the lack of service. We dined outside. There was a tv playing music. The noise level wasn't too loud as the restaurant wasn't that busy at the time. I will definitely come back for the food, but it would have to be on a day where my schedule can absorb long lunch. If I was strictly rating my experience based off food, I would rate the restaurant a 5/5. Factoring the poor service in dropping my score to a 3/5.
