An absolute gem. I used to work in the neighborhood and had the chance to check out this cafe right before quarantine kicked off. The owner, Karima, was very friendly and the space was warm and cozy on a chilly day in March. I ordered the Sabrina's Special Wrap with spicy beef and, honestly, six months later I am still thinking about it. The wrap was soft, buttery, flaky, and crispy. The beef was juicy, well-seasoned, and actually rather spicy (aka not "Minnesota spicy"). The wrap itself was like 13 inches long- I could have made a second meal out of it if I had the willpower but it was just too delicious.
There are a lot of killer food options around Snelling/University but this tiny spot can 100% hold its own alongside them. As I walked back to work I promised myself to come back the next week. I wasn't able to because of a certain global pandemic that hit the US right around then... but I am super excited to see they're active on Yelp and Doordash (I feel like I couldn't find them before but maybe that was my mistake). The Sabrina's Special lives in my dreams now. I cannot wait to try it again and explore more of the menu! read more
