My friend and I were doing a San Diego roundtrip and knew we needed to caffeinate. She had heard about Sabr, so we decided to do a pitstop on the way. We came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM, and the whole cafeteria area was essentially empty - other than 3 tables. This would be a GREAT place to study or do some productive work! I ordered the CTM - Cinnamon Toast Matcha. It was DELICIOUS! Who knew how complimentary cinnamon toast crunch would be matcha. I also decided to try the zatar cheese danish which was a different flavor from what I've had, but was so tasty! It's a little pricy, but not more than the cost of other cafes. If I lived in the area or was back in the area again, I would definitely stop in and try other drinks and pastries! What a hidden local gem! read more

My friend and I were dropping off my partner at a local pickleball spot and were craving matcha, so we came across Sabr Cafe! We honestly didn't realize it was tucked inside a religious/community center. There were a lot of people studying there, and the space itself was really open and spacious. We were afraid that we were being too loud so I don't recommend this place to hang out unless you're studying or doing work. We also liked that there was a restaurant next to Sabr, so we ended up getting a quesadilla that was HUGE and was yummy treat to go with our drinks. For matcha, I got the einspanner and my friend got the Cinnamon Toast Matcha. I really enjoyed the einspanner matcha! It was smooth and definitely hit the spot. My only mistake was drinking it around 2 PM because I literally could not sleep the rest of the night haha. Overall, good drinks and a chill place to study. Will definitely come back again and try their other drinks next time! read more

Sabr Coffee House - Einspanner matcha (left) Cinnamon Toast Matcha (right) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

They should really update on Google Maps that this is located in a religious building and not truly open to the public. I was treated really Horribly when I had no idea and so was my friend (on a separate occasion). I stopped here for the first time otw to the gym for a quick brew and was really excited to try it based off the pictures and vibe I saw after a quick gps search. The shop's parking attendant hunted me down & said a really uncalled for comment to me before I even got out of my car and made me feel not welcome and in turn I left really upset. It's branded as a casual coffee spot welcome to everyone. They should really be more clear so people don't feel bad like myself & turned away read more

When I visited, the drink sizes were fairly small (maybe it is the type of drink I ordered) for somewhat of a steep price. Overall the drinks were very good, the espresso in the einspanner was fragrant and the matcha tasted of high quality. The cashier/barista who helped me was very fantastic, offered to make adjustments to drinks if needed, and even walked me through the menu, which was much appreciated. Love the spacious seating area with large tables, something that smaller sized cafes might not have. Thinking of returning to try something else! read more

Sabr Coffee House - einspanner and matcha einspanner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

The matcha did not taste the best, was very milky and it was quite pricey. I asked for LESS ice and I received a small cup of matcha or $7. The only reason why I would come back is just for the study space but I wouldn't go for the drinks. read more

Sabr Coffee House - the matcha I ordered is on the left - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Been here multiple times, always fast service and yummy drinks. Haven't had the chance to study here but there's soo much space and it's very quiet and it's never full. I've had the matcha einspanner and the mango matcha. Einspanner is consistently good. Mango matcha was a bit too sweet for me (I typically get 70% sweet on boba drinks) but I can always ask for less sweet in the future. Flavor was really yummy though, almost like a mango hi-chew. Located inside an unmarked business building, which also houses a mosque on the right (Sabr is straight through). Very peaceful atmosphere. There's also a restaurant located right next to the coffee counter (BK Grill). read more

I LOVE this place! The service and drinks are always on point. I will agree with some reviews, this place is a bit hard to find, but not impossible. The mango matcha has me obsessed!!! Not too sweet and the matcha is sooo creamy. The shop is within a religious building that seems to be curated for teens/students. Very quiet so be respectful when coming in. 5/5 overall and worth the try! read more

Sabr Coffee House - Mango Matcha w/ Oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I got the Matcha Einspämnner along with zata'ar cheese danish. It had a nice creamy flavor and texture of matcha with really sweet bottom milk part. I wish I had known how sweet the drink was going to be towards the bottom. I would've ordered it 50% less sugar instead. Something to keep in mind so you don't get surprised half way through the cup. The zata'ar cheese danish was not exactly what I was expecting. I don't know why I assumed that it's going to be something more savory instead of very sweet. Not a repeat item for me as the zata'ar itself didn't really have much flavor and the pastry itself was way too sweet. The cafe has a nice open seating area perfect for doing work on the laptop or enjoying the food. I saw that there is a BK Grill that offers regular burgers and pizza type fare along with Indian food. The prices there seemed reasonable and I would certainly try them out as it offers traditional Indian breakfast items. The service at Sabr Coffee was not exactly the friendliest or the nicest. The man looked very annoyed by every customer interactions he had. I'm assuming it just interrupted whatever he was more interested in listening to on his AirPods. I felt bad as he didn't have to be so curt towards the 3 other ladies who needed to speak to him about various order related things. Not somewhere I would go out of my way to return, but certainly a nice spot to do work, study, or grab a quick bite with colleagues and otherwise. read more

Unfortunately my family and I did not love our experience here. We came on a Sunday afternoon for coffee, and matcha but none of us enjoyed our drinks. I was excited to try it after seeing all the buzz online but unfortunately for the matcha specifically, the flavor was not there at all. The presentation was the only thing I was impressed by. My family said they did not enjoy their Americano or latte either. The service was good though! There was only one girl working behind the counter when we went and she was patient, attentive, and worked as efficiently as she could to get our drinks out. read more

I tried the strawberry matcha and it was very delicious, not too sweet! Location was a tad confusing since it's in a cafeteria located inside of a business building.

I've been to sabr two times this week! I first stopped by over the weekend with my husband and we tried out the hot cardamom rose latte and iced vanilla latte. We really enjoyed it! Came back for the iced desert pear latte and loved it too! I want to come back to try out their banana foam. The coffee shop is located inside a religious center within a business plaza. There is plenty of parking and it would be a great spot to study or get some work done. read more

Sabr Coffee House - Chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

It was tricky to find this place the first time but it's inside a mosque. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. They have a huge seating area which is great for studying. I'm glad that I was able to find this place since I can come here to study and also grab matcha. Drinks: - Mango Matcha Latte: One of my favorite mango matcha I've had. So glad that I got this as my first drink here. Not too sweet and I can taste the mango in every sip. I also enjoyed the matcha since it was smooth and not bitter. - Strawberry Matcha Latte: I recently got this drink. I love strawberry matcha so I wanted to try this out. I still prefer the mango matcha over this but this drink did not disappoint. Next time I'm here, I have to try their matcha eispanner! However, my go to is mango matcha. read more

We visited here because we were coming to the mosque and I was surprised to see that there was a cafe and a restaurant in there as well. It was a pleasant surprise, and at this point, I'm questioning why every mosque doesn't have a cafe. There is ample seating inside, and it looks very clean and the drinks were good. What's not to like? We ate lunch at the restaurant right next to it as well, so we weren't too hungry to get the snacks that the cafe had, but thankfully, they had caffine, which was much appreciated. read more

I love coming here to study! Food is bomb.com and service is amazing! They are very good at correcting orders and making sure they are made at a timely manner. Love the prayer and study mood this place gives! And now that it's Ramadan it is even more lively than before! Ambiance 10/10. read more

Sabr Coffee House - Cinnamon Toast Crunch matcha! THE BEST! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Didn't really love it, it was also expensive I believe it was $8 for matcha with cream top and oat milk. It's hard to find this place, it's in an office building and shares the space with a middle eastern restaurant. It was very busy inside with tons of tables. Overall wouldn't come back read more

Sabr Coffee House - Matcha Einspanner w Oat - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I have always been a huge fav of Sabr and their matcha but I had a not great experience recently. Last week I went and got a vanilla matcha for $8 and asked for light ice (because the barista filled the cup with ice until it was over flowing). They then gave me way less of a drink even thought they could have added more milk or cold foam that I paid an extra $1 for. It turned out super sweet but I did not want a whole bunch of water in my drink from the ice melting (main portion of matcha latte is milk and matcha). I think the recipes need to change because if someone if paying $8 for a drink, it should be filled to the brim in my opinion. Pictures attached show as soon as I picked up my drink how the portion was half of matcha and the other portion was cold foam - and yes there was still ice inside. read more

If you are questioning if you are at the right place because you see a big glass business building, yes you are. This spot is inside on the 1st floor. Walking in I saw a lot of folks on their laptops doing some work. Sabr Coffee is a small coffee shop with a couple yummy looking pastries on display and a calm atmosphere to concentrate on tasks. I ordered an einspänner latte and matcha latte with almond milk. The latte that my boyfriend had, said was a tad too sweet for his taste but was a good level of creamy. For the matcha, I fairly enjoyed it. The cream top is nice, but wish the matcha was a bit stronger. It was a bit watered down with the ice and milk. It's not a bad matcha but know it can be leveled up. This is a good place if you want matcha in a pinch and are near it. Customer service was wonderful, I would come back. read more

Sabr Coffee House is open to all and located at a corporate building which has a mosque at one side and a large cafeteria with seating for about 100+ people. I've tried most of the drinks here as well as desserts. Biscoff milkcake ($8) - I was pretty disappointed with the milk cake here, it was on the dry side. On subsequent visits I noticed the milk cake didn't look that appealing so it was a hard pass. Knafeh cheesecake ($8)- This was a pleasant surprise and had a different consistency, more like a goat cheese. I would get this over the milk cake. Will have to try the gulab jamun cheesecake one of these days. Karak chai ($5.50 - 8 oz or large pot) - This is popular drink in the Middle East and made with black tea, cardamon, milk and other spices. All the drinks I have tried here have been too sweet, similar to Karak House in Laguna Hills. So now whenever I order a drink here I ask for it to be 1/2 sweet, which is on par with Saana Cafe and Qamaria. Kashmiri chai ($6 - 8 oz or large pot for $18) - This is a popular Pakistani tea from the Northern area. It's actually made with green tea, baking soda and aerating it which generates that pink color and then adding some warm milk. It's rich and creamy and my favorite tea here. I've made it at home from scratch after trying it here and I can say mine is just as good, lol. Overall the teas here aren't bad. I do think the pricing for the 8 oz is too much, especially since all the competitors are offering 12 oz for that price. The sabr latte (cookie butter red velvet - $7) and the desert pear latte ($7) were just ok. Oddly the specialty drinks are 12 oz instead of 8 oz. I know they are still in their soft opening phase, so hopefully they expand their dessert offerings and improve on their milkcakes. read more

Sabr Coffee House - Banana matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Not a bad study spot! Wifi is good, easy parking, plenty of seating and tables. Coffee quality is ok though, nothing special. Also a bit pricey but everything has been getting expensive so not surprised. The cafe is located inside an office building so I was really confused at first, but just walk through the doors and go all the way in and you'll see it. I also came on a sunday and it seemed like there was a mosque service? The space is very large and looks kind of like a large cafeteria. Alot of ppl were there to study tho so volume level was good for studying or small convos. There was one employee working and she was nice. Bathroom is also super clean and nice. read more

My girlfriend & I came across this place on Yelp, at first I thought I had the wrong address but saw a sign that the shop was located inside the business building. It's a very nice spot with tons of seating inside. All the drinks & food sounded good to me but of course I had to go with the iced seaweed banana matcha, which didn't disappoint! It was very tasty, not too sweet & the seaweed topping was a nice addition. My girlfriend had the iced einspanner matcha latte & she also enjoyed her drink. I would definitely come back and try some of their other drinks & food! The girl who provided us service with our order was also friendly and she made the drinks 10/10! read more

This coffee shop is tucked away, maybe in a temple? Disguised as a corporate building. The signs are small, so it's hard to tell what it is. I'm so happy it's close by though. I feel like good matcha is rare around here, so I don't have to keep driving to Irvine for it. Only downside: it's about $8 a cup. read more

I recently discovered this place while scrolling through Instagram. I did not realize that this coffee spot was so close to home. My sister and I needed a study spot so we went to try it out. Here is what I got: The Sabr Coffee: I usually don't get coffee and elect for a matcha or chai. However, this one seemed so popular that I needed to give it a try. I believe the barista told us it had red velvet and something else in it. Overall, I did enjoy the drink because it was on the sweeter side. I LOVED how spacious and clean the sitting area was. There were tons of plug ins and room to breathe. There is also a food spot that serves pizzas and other options right next to Sabr. The parking there was easy to find. I would have to say that my only complaint was that we were there for a few hours, but because the building was under construction, they had the women's bathroom closed off. They did not let us know how long it would take or if there were other restrooms we could use instead. So, we waited and finally decided to go home just to use the restroom. Overall, I will be back to study and try this place out for my usual matcha. read more

Today, my husband and I visited Sabr Coffeehouse for the first time, and it was a delightful experience. The location was easy to find, nestled inside a business building with ample seating. The service was excellent and everything we ordered was amazing. I tried the rose cardamom latte, which was fantastic. They make their own rose syrup and the drink had real ground cardamom inside. It wasn't overly sweet, and you could taste the quality of the coffee--just the way I like it. There were no artificial flavors whatsoever, and the coffee was smooth and delicious. This will easily become my regular drink order here. My husband enjoyed the Sabr latte, a cookie butter red velvet latte, along with a cheese danish. He's a bit of a cheese danish connoisseur and he said their cheese danish was very fresh and delicious. They also have an assortment of milk cakes, which we're eager to try next time we visit. Overall, the service and quality were top-notch. We will definitely be back! read more

I should have read the comments, that this place was located inside of a mosque, because I was wearing shorts. I feel terrible for not being modest in appearance, but nonetheless staff was very nice and informative. I took my friend for her birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed our drinks. They are offering flavors no other coffee shops are, such as: patchouli, seaweed matcha, etc. I will definitely be back to try other beverages and dress more appropriately. The outside looks like a business center, so you think you are in the wrong place. The inside is well lit, spacious, and quiet. A nice cool spot to hang out and study. read more

I stopped in after work while shopping in the area. Ample parking but after i parked I noticed security looking at me a little oddly, which i assumed was because I needed a hair cut. The coffee shop is shared with the cafe way in the back of the building. As I entered i saw some lovely middle eastern families sitting at the cafe tables and also heard middle eastern music but just thought it was a hang out for many in the area. I got the signature latte iced which came out in about 30 seconds. It was delicious and the place was spotless with a woodfire pizza oven toward the back. As I was leaving on the left of the front entrance I saw a huge room with towels/rugs in cubes on the ground and people praying which I thought was a gymnasium but turns out the building is the Rahma center which is a mosque. No issues with that here I just wasn't sure if this place is open to the public or not. Either way my apologies if I interrupted anyone. The coffee here was solid and I'd love to go back if it is indeed open to the public. read more

The only way I can describe this place is. ....interesting. Took a while to figure out the location because it is located inside an industrial building. Lots of parking in front of the building which is always nice. Plenty of tables inside the cafe so seating won't be an issue. I ordered a croissant - it was just ok, tasted like the ones from Costco but the coffee was good. The place is very quiet, not your typical coffee shop, so if you're looking for a place to study while enjoying a good cup of coffee, this might be the place for you. read more

I took my high school daughter here for coffee (me) and matcha (her) after school today. We got some strange looks asxwe walked in, because the location is part of a Mosque...and it was Ramadan...and it was prayer time. But, they were very welcoming and my daughter said it was the best matcha she has had locally (and at the most reasonable price). Highly recommend. read more

Coffee is a bit on the pricey side and not the strongest, but I mainly come here for the ambience. It's a great spot to study/work - the cafe is located inside a cafeteria that's part of a mosque. Parking lot is huge, plenty of seating, free WiFi, and lots of outlets. The bathrooms are spotless, and the entire space is very clean and well-maintained. It can get a little loud at times (e.g., kids running around, video of a sermon loudly playing on the television) and the space runs cold, but that comes with the setting. read more

I absolutely love how much seating there is here. It's perfect for studying getting work done. The WiFi is good. And it has good natural light. The workers are kind and they definitely work hard especially during the lunch rush hour after jummah prayer. They do have kiosks you can order from which is pretty convenient. I thought the strawberry matcha was good. Not like the tip top of ones I have had but pretty good. I got the classic burger and I think I have a really low spice tolerance but I found it kind of spicy LOL. So, to all my low spice tolerance friends, beware hahaha. But it is a good quality burger nonetheless. The fries were great too! I did eye some others ordering the pizza and those pizzas look good so I think that is what I will order the next time I come. Overall, this place is nice and clean, good service, would come back to study. read more

This is my second time coming here, and will continue to come back. What makes this place special is the large room with generous seating and tables. Even with the room full, everyone is very respectful and mindful. It's not loud and everyone cleans up after themselves. At the cafe I got the chai karat. SO delicious! Not too sweet, bold, and overall balanced. A nice substitute if you're looking for a caffeine kick that's not coffee. read more
