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 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

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

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.

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

Looooove their adani chai and pistachio milk cake. Men workers very polite and attentive to customers needs. Five stars and 10 on 10.

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

The SANA'A Coffee House feels like home. As a Greek person it's nice to see Greek coffee or in this case Turkish coffee sold and its most authentic state. The cuisine is across the board from baklava to chicken schwarma baked rolls to cakes and every version of coffee manageable from drip to Greek. I love my time here. It's perfect to journal and enjoy also one of the cleanest restrooms in all Of Hollywood and we appreciate that as locals. The kindness of the wait staff is truly from the heart! read more

I felt like it was extremely sweet and didn't even taste like rose 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

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

This is a new coffee shop across from the Pantages Theater. They have Yemeni style coffee and tea with a variety of pastries and cake slices.

They have one bathroom (ask staff for key) 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

Spotted this place on the way to Hollywood and Vine. It looked special somehow like being inside a fine gold-lined candy box. We came in to see Yemeni desserts and coffees! My husband said the pistachio milk cake was the best he's ever had, even better than that popular tres leches cake you can get elsewhere! I'm so glad we stopped in. Will be back to buy a whole sheet cake for my husband's birthday. Yes it's that good! read more

first impressions, this place looked very nice. middle eastern designs and architecture are throughout the whole store which elevate the experience. employees were fast and friendly. seating is available but ran out quite fast. my iced yemeni latte was very good. i could see the cardamom/cinnamon powder at the bottom of my cup. they do ask if you would like it sweetened, and i do prefer my drinks sweet, and it tasted great. i also got a slice of the saffron cake which was moist tasted lovely. the texture kinda reminded me of a tres leches cake. overall this place was a spectacular hit from me. highly recommend! 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

My great aunt baked the best carrot cake and this carrot cake cheesecake tastes JUST LIKE my great aunts. I woke the next morning a bought a strawberry banana smoothie and a cheese danish.

Newest Yemen bar in Hollywood Blvd. I'm from San Diego so I've never had chance to have this kind of coffee.

Definitely recommend coming and trying coffee. Out also Middle eastern pistachio desserts, and or Dubai chocolate bars. Recommend: Mofawar coffee read more

Parking is beyond challenging. The cafe sits in a very busy street and touristy spots. The cafe is well-lit, there are few tables and chairs available. The music was just way too loud. We ordered couple of drinks, they were very pure and strong. We really loved the Biscoff cake, so delicious. I don't think it's one of those cafes I would be visiting intentionally due to the parking and foot traffic around the area. read more

The chai is good (light sweet taste) as well as the cakes. Rose cake and tiramisu are both delicious. All of the cakes look amazing. I think cake is better than baklava which tends to be more on the hard side. It can get busy but there are lots of seats. I've seen a few people here working on their laptops, & many come in groups & love to socialize here. Very lively atmosphere. This place is becoming a favorite late night spot because they're open until midnight & 1 AM on weekends. This is inside, ground floor of the historic Taft building. If you love entertainment history and Old Hollywood then you must read about Taft. Walking distance to Amoeba Records. I wouldn't say there's a dress code, but people do not wear flashy things here. They also seem to be nice to homeless. I did not notice anyone chasing out the man who didn't make a purchase; he wasn't bothering anyone so everyone minded their own business. Nothing wrong with that. read more

The very first Yemeni cafe in my life and the vibe is so right. A good friend of mine has been to Yemen but I never been to Middle East. I've got Yemeni's Latte which tastes like between Burmese tea and Indian Chia. It's open late that family friendly place to hang out. Southern California is hard to find Halal's foods unless you're in Orange County. Tho, this one is Halal's foods for Islamic people. When you're in the cafe and take a look outside the window made me think of New York City. ( FYI : Muslims are everywhere in New York City, five boroughs. ) As a mediterranean cafe, everyone is friendly and welcoming since that is their culture back in day where the traditional of prophet in Islam. I heard that every one carried AK 47 & they just left the weapon outside the cafe before get in the restaurants or Cafe in Yemen. Super cool ha ! Wish you the best opening in month of Ramadan.
