We were waiting for our show at the Hollywood Pantages to start, so we decided to try Sana'a Cafe, which was nearby. For a Tuesday night, it was pretty busy. We could barely find a place to sit down, but eventually perched ourselves on a counter. Everything we tried was really good! For drinks, we got the Spanish Latte and Iced Chocolate. For pastries, we got the Biscoff Tres Leches and Carrot Cake. The Spanish Latte was spiced, flavorful, and so yummy. I was surprised at how good the desserts were as well. The cakes were so moist and addicting. They were on the sweet side, but still so good and would pair very nicely with coffee. Food, service, and atmosphere were great. I would definitely return. read more

The coffee is excellent. Genuinely excellent. I had the iced chai and it was delicious and subtly spicy and creamy and hot. And the pastries look like they know exactly what they're doing, very beautiful though I opted for a simple croissant. On food and coffee alone, this is five stars all day. But this space. It's the old Starbucks on a weird corner with real Hollywood and Vine energy, and somehow a room this big still feels crammed. There's no flow to it. Nothing is dirty exactly, but the whole place feels grimy in a way I can't point at directly. Exhibit A: while they're cleaning, the bus cart just lives in the middle of the room. In the middle of the room. Not their fault exactly, but since the tables are tight, it's just a sensory nightmare. Order the chai. Get your stuff to go. The coffee is worth the trip, just don't plan on lingering. read more

Sana’a Cafe - dining room, surprisingly quiet but still not quite clean. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The most amazing café of Hollywood. I live right across and now this became my go-to every day, whether after the gym or just at night right before closing. I always see people hanging out here ordering a couple of desserts to share and amazing coffee as there are tables meant for people to connect and chat. Always clean. Yes there are still clean cafes in Hollywood. I always bring my laptop here as well because they have amazing Internet. One thing to note though the plugs by the wall don't work atm. It's been over 2 months and they still haven't fixed it but it's wtv read more

Me and my partner were craving. A late night sweet treat so we saw this place was open so we said why not . The menu at this place was pretty extensive and they have something for everyone here . I decided on the cinnamon iced latte and the biscoff cake . Everything came out pretty quickly . As far as the coffee it was just okay . I had much higher hopes because it looked and smelled promising . However the biscoff cake sold the show . It was the perfect amount of sweetness and almost tasted like a biscoff tres leches . Overall the service here was pretty standard and everyone was very friendly and welcoming . The ambience in this place was nice as well . read more

Beautiful cafe across from Pantages theatre. Self order on tablet. There's a variety of drinks and pastries. Everything looks delicious. I ordered a bunch of different baklavas. Have not tried them yet. Coffee was really good tho. I love how the pastries were put in a beautiful paper bag and the coffee cup is beautiful too. Not sure about service. You pick up the items at the end. Unfortunately no smiles as I would expect.... That's what knocked a star off... read more

I stopped by this cafe today in the morning. I was going to visit the store next door but came early and they weren't open yet so I stopped by here to get a cheesecake for my uncle. I did the street parking here across the meter street, if there no available meter spot then you'll have to find a parking garage or lot. I came in the early morning so this cafe was not busy at all. They had some good options on cheesecake and I couldn't decide which one to get. I asked the lady working the cashier which one is the popular one and she told me the Nutella cheesecake or biscoff cheesecake so I went with the biscoff cheesecake. They have a decent amount of tables inside and the decor is very here. read more

This is by far one of our favorite spots to stop at every time we are in Hollywood. If we go see a show at the Pantages Theatre, we either have some dessert and coffee before or after every show we see. The environment is really nice, the smells inside are amazing, and of course the coffee is great. They have many different choices for you to choose from. Some are very strong and some are more subtle with great flavors. The pistachio latte is absolutely one of our favorites. They have plenty of bakery items for you to choose from that are baked fresh from cheesecake, to milk cake, to baklava, and even some warm baked goods as well. The price is fairly decent for the area that it's in and can be very affordable. Definitely a must try if you're in the area. Also, the staff here is really nice and friendly. read more

Right across the street from Pantages theater in the Taft building. Corner location great spot to grab some "keep me up" drink. Inside seating is limited. Parking lots and garages nearby. Great service welcoming and informative. Traditional coffee and espresso drinks also teas and specialty mixes to try. Sweet or savory items available great when you're on the go or waiting in line for the production show and your tummy growls. The honeycomb bread is drizzled with honey and sesame seeds with cheese inside the dough balls, very substantial. The espresso was a nice floral flavor profile with just the right amount of ice to my liking. A great first visit! read more

I've never had turkish style coffee's, so disclaimer I am a big newbie here. I first took a sip of one of there most popular drinks, a cream and cardamom iced coffee, and I thought I had made a hugh mistake. It tasted nothing like the Starbucks iced americanos I'm used to. I added a little sugar because that's how I like it and I continued to sip away. Then I really started noticing and appreciating the silky delicate flavors that were subtly being presented. And the more I drank the more I really actually started to LOVE this coffee. I accepted the fact that this ain't no American coffee and that this is a delicacy of unique flavors. I'm a coffee lover, and what a treat it was to add this new style of coffee in my life. I was fully energized after, not overwhelmingly, and I cannot wait to go back again. This place has plenty of dessert options as well, from red velvet cakes to Turkish sweets. The inside is elegantly decorated with crystal style chandeliers and clean tables. Friendly service as well. Also plenty of charging stations. Nice place for a quick study or two person meeting. read more

Walked over here with one of my girlfriends after ballet at Equinox right down the street. Easy stop. Quick, sweet service. In and out but still felt super taken care of I got the Yamini latte (mofawar). Piping hot. Cardamom, a little cream. Had it without sugar and it still wasn't bitter at all. Strong in a good way. I'm literally still feeling it My friend got the Spanish latte. Definitely sweeter. She loved it. The space is really pretty. High ceilings, warm tones, big lantern-style lights. Feels a little elevated for a casual coffee stop. Good place to sit for a bit. Also... the pastries looked very good. Will be back for those next time.

Sana’a Cafe - Adeni chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This was a treat to be able to have something I wasn't expecting. I was thinking it would be just another corner cafe, but I was surprised to walk into a Yemeni themed cafe that is run by people with style. I had just seen a band perform a Persian song the night before, so this fit right in with the vibe I was feeling. The coffee list was extensive, not just flavored espresso drinks, but actual different roasts. I was a little overwhelmed by the choices and lack of sleep the night before, so I went with a latte. It was creamy and delicious. Not too sweet, and the espresso roast was well balanced. Since I was on a mini vacation I opted for cheesecake for breakfast. Not just any cheesecake, it was pistachio! It had the right amount of sweetness while letting the light nutty flavor come through. There were also many Yemeni style pastries and breakfast offerings to choose from. It all looked so delicious! On a January Friday morning it was nice and relaxing. A few other people were there sharing stories and catching up as well. Skip the big chains and support a local shop that is run by people that care about their craft. read more

Went to this location on a fly when we were in the area and I knew it had to be good based solely on the location: Hollywood & Vine is one of the most iconic corners in the city. We tried the Biscoff cookie Butter Tres Leche cake and it was good. We got the Spanish Latte and the Yemeni Latte and they were so good. Well, our drinks lived up to it. They were so good, we visited the Sacramento location a few weeks later. Service was good, tables were clean. We will go here again when in the area! read more

Sana's Cafe is a Yemeni Cafe located in Hollywood across from The Pantages. The cafe has warm and inviting vibes. It is very clean, organized and has many indoor seating. There is a kiosk to place the order, but also you can place it at the cashier. They have various assortment of delicious drinks, savory and sweet pastries., cakes, and baklava. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Everything was tempting, so I ordered many delicious things to try. I got the following : -Iced Pistachio latte with oat milk 5/5 -Chicken Musakhan 5/5 The chicken was very flavorful, fresh and rich wrapped in a very thin crepe like style. It's a must try. -Cheese Fatayer 5/5 It was a soft and fluffy triangle shaped- pastries. It was filled with savory cheese. -Meat Fatayer 5/5 It was a savory triangle- shaped pastries stuffed with spiced ground meat. It was fluffy, soft and flavorful. -Biscoff Cheesecake 5/5 There was a perfect balance between cheesecake and biscoff 5/5 -Chocolate with Pistachio baklava with walnut - Honeycomb 5/5 It was golden, soft, airy dough filled with cream cheese. It came with honey to spread on the top (spectacular) - I also ordered baklava with walnuts, baklava with Pistachio and chocolate baklava with Pistachio. The three types of baklava were crispy, flaky, rich and nutty.They were outstanding! -Adnei tea 5/5 It was aromatic, rich and flavorful. I re-ordered more musakhan, cheese Fatayer and meat Fatayer for home. Honestly, their pastries were irresistible! We had a wonderful experience at Sana's Cafe. I cannot wait until I go back. It is a hidden gem in Hollywood. read more

Second trip to Sana and this time I enjoyed my late so much more! I ordered the rose late with almond milk and it was perfect! The temp was right, it wasn't too sweet and the rose flavor was prominent. I also really enjoyed the texture because it was very creamy, which is sometimes difficult with almond milk. The place can get busy, so expect to wait for a table but they do have bar style seating as well. And it's so close to the Pantages which makes for a perfect spot after a show. They play international songs which makes it nice to just sit relax and enjoy your coffee and music. read more

When you're in the area, why not try something different? I've never had Yemeni food before so was happy to see establishment within walking distance of the theater. We had their coffee and a spice of rose milk cake and saffron milk cake. Kids had a refreshing mango drink which they lapped up. We also had a large honey bread that didn't really taste like honey. Had all kinds of other flavors like sesame and salt. Not very sweet at all but a great collaboration of flavors. Must try. Coffee is like chai. I'm more a purist when it comes to coffee and tea unless it blows my tastebuds. Too many spices for me but you might like it. Tastes more like tea than coffee as well. read more

Perfect place to stop at before or after a show at Pantages. I like that for a cafe, they're open very late. I came at 6pm right before a show and they had lots of pastries still available. I got the rose milk cake on my first visit, and I really enjoyed its sponginess. It was very similar to a tres leches cake. On my second visit I got the Dubai cheesecake, and this was also a hit for me, which had the right among of chocolate, kataifi and pistachio. The drinks can be hit or miss depending on what you get. The strawberry lemonade is very rich in taste but the amount of ice they added nearly reached the brim of the cup. I noticed this was the case for other people around us sitting down. I got a matcha latte and rose latte on separate visits, and didn't find either to be worth raving about. The rose latte especially doesn't taste like rose at all. Overall, worth it for the pastries alone and the drinks are a good pick-me-up before a 2.5 hour show at Pantages. read more

Was in the area and realized that this new cafe is in place where Starbucks used to be. I really wanted a matcha and was conflicted between this location and the boba place next door, but decided to try Sana'a instead. The place is very spacious and they did a great job with the remodeling, as it does look very nice. The girl that helped me was very nice, she was attentive and polite, despite them being busy. They had different matcha lattes and I decided to try their pistachio matcha and saffron milk cake. I had ordered to dine in, and they gave me a buzzer while I wanted for my order. My order didn't take long, but they game me my matcha and cake in to go containers, when I saw people that were dining in with actual glass cups and plates. My iced matcha latte was descent, but it tasted like a regular matcha, I had ordered a pistachio matcha and it had no pistachio flavor whatsoever. I would give it a 7/10. The saffron milk cake on the other hand was absolutely delicious. It wasn't overly sweet and it had the perfect amount of milk, and it was fluffy and spongy, honestly it was great. That to me was a 9/10. I'm definitely going back to try their other cakes, as they all look really good, as for their drinks at least on their matcha lattes, I would skip it. read more

Such a great place for coffee. You can always taste the richness. Been here many times and it hasn't disappointed. I got the Spanish latte and my girl got the pistachio latte as suggested by the staff. It needed some sweetener, but other than that, flavor was great! We also got some desserts. My girl got the tiramisu milk cake and I got the pistachio cheesecake. They look really sweet but they're not. Which is perfect. My cheesecake was a creamy delight with pieces of pistachios atop. Yum! My gf's tiramisu milk cake was such a light treat and not too sweet. Our fave is the biscoff milk cake, but they were out. Cute seating and the service is really good. Our waiter was sweet. It's on Hollywood Blvd so it's great entertainment as well lol ;) read more

My favorite café in Hollywood People often overlook it because of the location, but it's truly one of the few spots in the area where you can actually sit down, work, and stay awhile. The inside is beautiful and cozy -- perfect for getting things done or catching up with a friend. The pastries are absolutely amazing. My personal favorites are the saffron milk cake and the pistachio cheesecake -- both are unreal. The drinks are just as good. I highly recommend the Adeni chai and the hibiscus tea. This has become my go-to spot, and at this point I'm basically a regular. If you're in the area and need a peaceful place with great drinks and pastries, don't sleep on this place. read more

A new setting in Hollywood honoring middle eastern culture. They offer coffee and pastries of savory and sweet choices with middle eastern flavors which is obvious to point out based on the background story on their web and simply walking in and immediately feeling the cafe is celebrated in a certain culture which I happened to find unique. I've noticed they carry a big selection of pistachio flavors goodies. It was pouring rain outside so decided to open their door. I came in around 11pm-ish wanting a hot coffee and a desire to try this place. The cafe has an elegant touch to it...almost feels like a goddess walking into the golden gate of a luxury life. I ordered a Yemeni latte with an added 1 pump of sugar free vanilla. The cashier who was friendly recommended me to get their tradition of Yemeni style. So I did. I sipped. I enjoyed. I yapped and I dipped. Also, comfy seating area to work and people watch. 4 stars because the restroom was not pleasant. It just needed to be cleaned and stocked up that's all. read more
