Biscoff milk cake and pumpkin coffee
Morgan A.

I was NOT expecting anything to be that good but WOW. This was the most perfect coffee I've ever had the cake blew us all away. Holy perfection!!!! This place is dangerous

Matcha season
Peter X.

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.

Double shot espresso iced
Leilani M.

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!

Strawberry matcha latte
Nipsy T.

Awful tasting matcha. Very bitter and chalky tasting. Even the sweet milk and strawberries couldn't cover up the taste. They were super busy, so I didn't bother returning a task for a new one.

YEMENI LATTE
Mona A.

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 is just a really solid coffee spot in Hollywood

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.

Tried this new-ish Yemeni coffee shop. Honestly, not quite sold on the coffee even though I generally really enjoy coffee that's similar to this style. But I do want to go back to try the desserts..

Baklava W Pistachio and a shot of espresso
Aileen H.

The pistachio baklava was meh. One of the ingredients they used tasted off. The espresso was fine. Nice decor inside. Service is self-service. I would pass and look for other options.

Adeni chai
Huma H.

Delicious adeni chai, placed in the center of Hollywood, was very welcomed on a long day. Service is fast, got the tea within a few minutes! Rich, just the right sweetness, and piping hot. The spot can get incredibly crowded given the location. It's also a nice spot for people watching with the big windows - we watched a crew shooting a film!

More chicken musakhan
Nevin A.

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.

Latte and Pistachio Cheescake
Ryan C.

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.

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!

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.

First, the cafe is super cute and quaint. There is seating inside and outside and the service was pretty quick. I have to warn you - there is no parking! I had to circle around a bit to try and find a spot on the street. I decided on the coconut mango matcha because it was 100° outside and I wanted something refreshing. I thought the switch of coconut water vs a traditional latte with milk would be a great treat for the weather. I was able to adjust the sweetness to half sweet which I greatly appreciated. This drink was probably one of the best matcha's I've ever had. It definitely lived up to its reputation. The matcha was very good and balanced well with the coconut water. The mango puree added the perfect flavor and sweetness to the drink. I would absolutely come back!

Neither drink was overly sweet, and I loved this spot for their creative matcha drinks!

It was good and you could definitely taste the matcha, but I personally wish the matcha flavor was stronger. The cold foam was solid.
