Yemeni coffee and Sweet treats [Elk Grove CA] Met with some friends and checked out this hot new coffee spot. They have many locations across the Bay Area and Sacramento, this one is located in Elk Grove. The menu included authentic, traditional Yemeni coffee and chai, also a variety of pastries from across the Middle East. We found a nice section in the back of the shop that was semi private from the main dining area. I'd say the area could hold around 10 to a dozen people comfortably maybe. There were 7 in our party. Place order at the counter and guests will be given buzzers when order(s) are ready for pickup. Individual orders were placed for coffee and chai tea but it was the desserts that caught my eye: Nutella Milkcake, Honeycomb, and Chicken Musakhan. I'd like to come back for the Dubai Milkcake or Dubai Cheesecake, anyone would like to join me?... anyone? LoL Plenty of parking in a shopping center. The cafe's grand opening was yesterday, 4/25/26. Trivia: Sana'a Cafe is named after the capital city of Yemen. Review #4021 read more

I'd been hearing about this place from a friend for the longest time, so I finally decided to give it a try. I ordered an iced pistachio latte, a Yemeni chai, and two Biscoff cheesecakes. The staff was friendly overall, though I did feel a bit overwhelmed and slightly rushed at first. That said, the person who handed me my order was especially warm and welcoming, which made a great impression. The café had a lively atmosphere, with lots of people hanging out, and everything looked clean and well kept. As for the drinks and desserts, this place knows what it's doing. The pistachio latte was easily the best I've ever had. My brother said the chai was "on point," and the cheesecakes were perfectly balanced, definitely not overly sweet. I'm already looking forward to coming back for another iced pistachio latte! read more

We were looking for a cafe with beverages and snacks while we waited to pick up my son from practice. Wanted something other than the usual milk tea place and remembered Sana'a just opened. Loved the interior right away. Staff was friendly and price seemed reasonable. Three of us shared a medium pot of Mofawar as well as the chicken shawarma and a slice of baklava. First time tasting Yemeni coffee (will have to get used to the spice sediment at bottom of cup/pot) but everything was delicious. Very excited to have this new coffee spot in town! read more

We had a party of seven and Sana'a Cafe Elk Grove very accommodating. We were in the niche in the corner and still had room for five more people. I stuck with my traditional Turkish coffee which was delicious. I share my Turkish coffee and got someone else hooked on it. I also got the honeycomb bread. Balance flavors of a cream type cheese inside and honey drizzled over the bread... this is one to get, you won't be disappointed. Even with their grand opening jitters we were all helped quickly and great hospitality. read more

Crowd has died down but the place is still busy. Inside looks clean and has very nice decor with ample seating inside and out. Service was good and the drinks / food came out quickly. We got the Carmel macchiato, strawberry matcha and a Dubai cheesecake. The Carmel macchiato latte is great, just the right amount of sweetness and coffee. Wasn't watered down and had perfect amount of ice to where it wasn't just ice with little of the drink. The strawberry matcha was disappointing, you can taste the matcha but that's where it ends. No hint of strawberry, it wasn't sweet, and honestly just tasted like matcha on top of milk. The Dubai cheesecake was okay, sweet and a hint of spice that I'm not too keen of. Most of the drinks seem to be a dollar more for just being iced. Overall, decent if you get the right drink but may break the budget. read more

Mini exotic getaway in a cup! Sanaa Cafe has opened in Elk Grove! Wheter you are craving savory snacks - like my fave chicken musakhan (shredded chicken rollup with onions and sumac for a citrusy flavor in a toasted lavosh bread) to sweet like their pistachio milk cake (similar to tres leches cake) and even baklava - this place has your cravings covered. They have he usual lattes or the biscoff latte, too...but my all time fave is their Yemeni Chai - which can be done as a proper Yemeni tea service in a teapot and traditional cups...to savor and elevate your break time. read more

Sana'a Cafe is a unique Middle Eastern coffee shop that's a fresh welcome to Elk Grove's growing restaurant scene. Upon entering, the cafe, we heard upbeat music and felt transported to another place with their decorations. There are many tables and comfortable chairs. The service is fast and the prices were reasonable; but be careful, all the à la cart food items adds up really fast. I like the ceramic drink cups, the heavier plates, and the round wooden serving tray. They are open late and that's perfect given that many places close by 9/10pm in the area. Even in the later evenings, they had a good stock available. I've had many of their drinks and food and they all taste great! My favorite drink is the hot Biscoff Latte with Oat Milk. My favorite food is the Dubai Milkcake. Having been to other similar places like this outside of California, Sana'a Cafe feels authentic and is at par with other high quality cafés. read more

Came into the area for an event and wanted a little pick-me-up, so I searched for something close by with great reviews. Saan Coffee popped up and I figured let's see what all the hype is about... and honestly, this place didn't disappoint at all. The service was amazing and super prompt. The interior is decorated really nicely too -- clean, modern, and a vibe you can actually relax in. I'm still pretty new to the whole coffee journey so I kept it simple and ordered a vanilla latte, and it was spot on. Smooth, balanced, and exactly what I needed. Overall, great stop, friendly people, and a latte that hit the spot. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again. read more

Finally a coffee shop that stays open past 4pm! This place is insane and I mean it in the best way possible. I ordered a pistacchio Latte and WOW. It was incredible it was perfectly sweet and balanced and the coffee itself tasted amazing. Youre really getting a quality craft coffee here. The location is great off the free way for people driving in and out of town and there is plenty of parking. The inside is of course very pretty and was set up to maximize seating which is very welcoming. I ended up coming back for the Biscoff Coffee and that too was YUMMY! Dont forget to try a pastry they are also very delish. This place is a solid coffee shop and I see it lasting in elk grove for a really long time as they have championed good coffee, flavoring and most importantly consistency! read more

Sana'a Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I've been here twice and IM IN LOVE!!! Everything about this cafe is so welcoming, from the warm lighting, long hours, incredible service, free WiFi, both sweet and savory food options, and various specialty drinks. Both visits the store was packed with customers! There's lots of seating (indoor and outdoor), tables, and even a private area suitable for bigger parties. So beautifully decorated and with intention of presenting Yemen culture. The ambiance is unmatched. MashAllah. The cashier was very patient and friendly, gave us honest recommendations. Baristas work so efficiently, you can see them pulling espresso shots, warming up food, and topping off drinks with care. You're given a buzzer to notify you when your drinks are ready, which is convenient since it's so busy and there's outdoor seating. I also noticed how attentive the workers are, wiping down tables, refilling necessities, pushing in chairs, and even checking in with customer experiences. Great for gatherings of any kind, whether it's to study, mingle with friends, or even to play card games (which several parties were). They are focused on providing that sense of community within their cafe. Yemeni Mocha Cookie Latte - I got this drink with medium sweetness. Immediately the bold and spice flavor of their roast woke my tastebuds. I LOVE strong coffee and they delivered just that! However, the mocha and cookie components were not present in the flavor profile. And the texture of some sips were gritty. Banana Matcha Latte - Average, nothing crazy. The matcha flavor is pretty light, not too sweet. I will say their banana purée is delicious, you can tell it's made fresh and with real fruit. Which I admire because most places use artificial sweeteners/syrups. However, it does then add chunks of banana to the drink. If you like banana flavored drinks, worth a try! Peppermint Mocha - 10/10 WOW. PHENOMENAL. So delicious, I dream about it. Once again, I got medium sweetness and the espresso just as wonderful as I remembered. The sweetness of the peppermint creates balance to the drink. The mint is NOT overpowering or anything like toothpaste. It's more like a warm hug to the chocolatey notes. Perfect pairing. I finished it within 2 minutes and was tempted to buy another immediately after finishing every last drop. I have to praise this cafe for making all of their drinks with light ice as default, you get your money's worth with every sip! I will happily be a loyal returning customer. I hope the Peppermint Mocha stays and is not seasonal! For this location to be so new and already so successful speaks volumes about the quality of the experience. Allahumma Barik!! Stop by to support and for a unique experience, open arms, and delicious drinks! read more

Went here with my cousins and tried some of their drinks and desserts. It was crowded and there was a long line but the design of the place made us want to stay and check it out. The space has a beautiful Middle Eastern inspired look. We ordered a mango smoothie, iced chai latte, and Spanish latte, all of which we agreed were really good. The honey comb cake was good too. Service was great and we enjoyed hanging out here. read more

I've been to the Downtown Sac location, and this one in Elk Grove is pretty much a duplicate; I believe they must be a franchise since the interior is the same as the other location in Sac. Although they opened fairly recently, they are getting a TON of business. Even though it was the afternoon, all tables were occupied and the line order was to the door. I tried the Yemeni Latte. They ask what sweetness you want and I opted to try medium, which didn't taste sweet in my opinion. I think the drinks are decent, as well as the service. Nice to have an EG location where you don't have to worry about limited/metered parking! read more

First time trying this new cafe and the aesthetics are gorgeous. The cafe is decorated in gold, marble, and black. It was packed on a Sunday afternoon. I had a little bit of a wait but I will wait for it if it's a good drink. All of their I had the hot pistachio latte with less pistachio sauce to make it less sweet. It was different but because I've never had Yemen coffee. The coffee beans used were unique. I will try a few more times before I give it an official review. They had a selection of desserts available. I will come back one day to try them. read more

I tried their Turkish coffee. The coffee is definitely on the bitter, very strong side, which may appeal to those who enjoy traditional, intense coffee flavors. It felt authentic and robust, but might be too much if you prefer smoother or sweeter drinks. The cafe can get quite full, and finding a seat may be difficult. Overall, it's a good spot for bold coffee lovers--just be prepared for the bitterness and the crowd. read more

Sana'a Cafe - Turkish coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Service: 3.0 Coffee: 2.4 Ambiance: 4.1 Wednesday mid morning and my daughter notices that Sana'a Cafè is now open, so we drive over. Upon entering (use the LEFT DOOR); there's a vibe that I couldn't pinpoint, but it's cute! There was a slight wait so I decided to look at their pastry display, but nothing was calling out my name, so maybe next time. Now it's our turn to order, I just wanted a coffee and opted for their Turkish coffee (which ended up being a disappointment) and my daughter's Sana'a coffee was okay. My daughter is a foodie and enjoys her coffee but nothing excited her about their coffee. Back to my Turkish coffee, please look at my posted pic, there was so much coffee grinds at the bottom of my cup but when your drinking with a lid and can't see the sut and swallow a huge portion of it then it's not a good experience. ‍ read more

An amazing cafe to enjoy some delicious drinks and snacks. About a 15 tables, diner style seating against the wall, along with a private party seating area. Lots of people and families enjoying one another or working on laptops. Staff wasn't very interactive but no Complaints. They did their job and answered my question if the refreshers had caffeine. Btw, no they don't. Service was quick, waited about 7 minutes for 3 drinks and 3 food items. I love that the buzzers are loud to not miss your food being ready. Ambiance was nice with decor and music taking you to the middle eastern. Biscoff latte - 8/10 lacked biscoff flavor but still very tasty while not being super sweet Mango passion fruit refresher- 10/10 very yummy if you want a fruity drink. Very sweet. Pistachio cheesecake- 8/10 a slice of cheesecake with pistachio crumbs on top. Not too sweet. Honeycomb 9/10 tasty snack that paired well with my latte. A sweet bread with cream cheese filling, topped with honey drizzle and sesame seeds. Pistachio milk cake 6/10 gives tres leche vibes but lacked flavor. I was expecting for the artificial pistachio flavor in food items but not at all. A place you guys must try for yourself. read more

Sana'a Cafe is an excellent late-night spot with beautiful ambience, strong coffee, and delicious desserts that make it well worth a visit. The cafe is very spacious with a ton of seating. Great fast service even being so crowded. For drinks, the biscoff and pistachio lattes really stand out. Both were delicious, rich in flavor, and on the stronger side, which is perfect if you enjoy your coffee with a good caffeine kick. The only small note is a personal preference, nugget ice would have made the iced drinks even better, but that is more of a wish than a real complaint since the drinks themselves were excellent.[yelp] The Dubai milk cake was another highlight of the visit. It was incredibly tasty and had a great texture, with just the right level of sweetness so it did not feel heavy or overwhelming after a strong latte. recommend. If you're in the area try them out it won't disappoint you. read more

Food is good. Coffee is good. Service is good. Cafe was clean. They give you one of those buzzer, flashing alarm things that buzzes, flashes and makes a hella loud noise. The noise sounds like an alarm and it is ruining the ambiance when you are sitting in the dining area. All you hear are alarms going off. I ordered a slice of baklava and the hot Rose Latte. I enjoyed my order, but my Rose Latte was a little underwhelming. I could not taste rose in my latte. It was good though. I would visit again to try something else on the menu. read more

Milk cake and drinks were good. One of the employees that wears glasses was rude. My buzzer went off but they were confused on what I was waiting for? She gave me my drinks and cake and bobbed her head with an additude. Most likely will not be returning if all I'm going to get is an additude for no reason. Even if there was miscommunication there was no need to bob her head at me as if I was supposed to know that the drinks she gave out were mine. read more

Love this place, coffees are always great. Desserts are so good. The place is very nice inside. The service is fast and friendly.

I was so excited to try this place out!! it was Presidents' Day and it was absolutely packed. Unfortunately there was no place for me to sit so I had to get my coffee to go. The place was very cute and the service was good. It took about 15 minutes for them to make my order so don't go if you're in a rush, but to be fair they were very busy and apologized for the wait. I ordered the rose latte, caramel macchiato, and a baklava. The pricing was fair the caramel macchiato with standard unfortunately, the rose latte just tasted like a regular latte. There was no real flavor, but the actual coffee flavor was strong and delicious. I was just really hoping for some type of flavor in the rose latte or even sprinkled with some edible flowers would've been adorable, but you could tell the coffee was quality. I will definitely be back to order something else. read more

This coffee shop is such a great addition to Elk Grove! I've been here once, but I've had friends go and they've mostly told me that it is pretty crowded. At the time we went, there were a lot of people, but we did find seating ok. There are so many drink options, as well as dessert options. We opted for a medium sized pot of chai. We also go the chai a little less sweet which was perfect. Sharing the medium sized pot gave us plenty to drink between two people (they advertised to us that it serves 4-5 people, and it really depends on how much you're planning to drink). The cool part of the teapot experience is that it comes on a tray with little teacups, and a teapot stand with a tea candle to keep your tea warm. The chai was very creamy; it seemed like they either used condensed milk or evaporated milk. There was another time my partner purchased their pistachio milk cake and it is something I dream about a lot. It reminds me of tres leches but with pistachio flavor and bits of pistachio. I didn't get any this time because I need to watch my diet! Their wi-fi password is pretty funny, but so true. We got seating on the periphery and you can adjust the cushions to mark your seat boundaries. There's outlets available. Service was pretty friendly. The thing they could work on is their tray return/trash area, since our teapot tray was pretty large and there were a lot of cups and dishes already. We were worried about stacking more on. Guess they were pretty busy and weren't able to attend to it as quickly. They have two bathrooms available. They also have a seating area that can accommodate large parties. It's pretty nice they have later hours than other coffee shops, which makes it a good place for students to study. Overall, I would highly recommend! read more

First, the vibe of this place is on point...plenty of comfortable seating & the decorations inside are great. The staff were helpful and friendly.normally I'd get a chai latte, but I tried the Sana'a Latte which has cardamom, cinnamon and ginger and they let you choose the level of sweetness and sub for plant based milk. It was delicious, but so was the Honeycomb cake which appears to be their specialty. I'll definitely be back to try another nosh from their food case...they even have some vegan pastry choices. If I hadn't gone in knowing that I wanted to try the Honeycomb cake it would have been very hard to decide...it all looked amazing! read more

This place is GORGEOUS!!! The coffee was amazing and the dessert case was difficult to pass up but I #1 I was full from an earlier meal and #2 how could one decide between each beautiful delectable item. The service was super friendly, The place has a homey vibe and did I say how beautiful it was? The chairs at our table were so comfy. Lots of great backgrounds for a selfie. If the weather is good this location also has a shared patio outside. There are a couple other restaurants here but I would imagine the patio will be used by the cafe more than the other places once the sun comes out. (But one of the restaurants did look like it had a lot of people waiting to go inside next door). Even more special is this place looks like its open late!!!! Hooray! I am one of those people that loves a good coffee after 5pm. I can't wait to come back! Its located in the Best Buy and REI shopping center. read more

01.25.2026 - SANA'A CAFE - ELK GROVE, CA - I was on my way to get to their next door neighbor REI to buy new laces for my hiking shoes. I was going to try the Chinese Food next door but SANA'A CAFE looked more interesting. When I first walked in, I was surprise seeing how luxurious the interior is. It reminded me of Marrakech or a Middle Eastern vibe. It's very beautiful. There was a line but it moved rather quickly. The tables were all filled. There were people that were sitting by the walls had access to browse through their laptops or tablets. People looked comfortable and in the middle of the cafe, there were people just enjoying their little party eating desserts. Also there is more tables in the back of the barista section. The furniture and interior is just so beautiful. It feels like you stepped into another world. Their menu is so different. Who ever thought of BISCOFF LATTE or PISTACIO LATTE? It was so different. They also had the typical flavors like Mocha, Cappuccino and Americano. They had the typical flavors. But why would you get the traditional flavors? I wanted to experience their exotic flavors. I ordered the BISCOFF LATTE (ICED) and the DUBAI BAKLAVA SLICE. BISCOFF LATTE (ICED) It was really delicious. The coffee was deep flavored. Honestly its so much better than the typical commerical coffee place (no name mentioned). It tasted like real coffee with no fillers. So much flavorful. I think coffee snobs should try it anyway. Try it! DUBAI BAKLAVA SLICE It had the typical Baklava layers with the Phyllo and the pistacio in the middle. So delicious. I can taste the creamy butter. So delicious! Im now curious to try the other desserts. read more

Talk about being transformed into another place! Once you walk in, the middle eastern vibes immerse you making you question if you're really in Elk Grove. The place was packed, the line was long, but it was quick. A bit hard to find seating due to them being busy. I ordered their sana'a latte, and thought it was delicious. A few friends of mine ordered the rose latte with less sugar and felt like it didn't have much of the rose flavor. We also tried their pistachio cake and their rose cake. The pistachio didn't have much flavor to it, and the rose did pack a punch. Also, the pistachio cake was a bit frozen. read more

I've been here a few times now, and I'm so happy to see the business thriving! Every time I come in, there are more and more people. They've decorated and designed the interior so beautifully with the lights, walls, and marble accents. When I walked in, I was in awe and admiration of all the details! There is plenty of seating which is wonderful, and plenty of parking outside as well. As you walk up to the counter, you'll see all the beautiful desserts and food offerings, and it definitely tempted me. I have tried the biscoff cheesecake, Yemeni latte, dirty chai latte, and Adeni chai, and all have been delicious! The coffee is strong, but the dirty chai has been my favorite so far. I felt like Yemeni latte was good, but I would've loved to taste more of the spices. The Adeni chai was also good, but for majority of people, they don't realize it's tea and not sweetened, so if you order this and expect a chai latte, make sure you either get the other chai latte or ask for sugar as well. However that is more based on customer expectations and lack of understanding that they are focusing on the tea flavors, rather than on the cafe. They were pretty busy when I came on a Sunday morning, so it took about 10 mins to get my drink. Be careful, because their drinks come out piping hot!! The staff was very nice, and when I checked in for Elk Grove restaurant week, he was very excited that I discovered them through that. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Sana'a Cafe has a great spot and location. The space is much larger than majority coffee shops in the area. There's plenty of tables and chairs to choose from. They have a great variety of menu options with their drinks and bakery items. I tried the Biscoff latte, and although it was good, the coffee was a little too strong for my liking. Same with the Biscoff milk cake, although it was good, it was a little too sweet for my liking. Those are just my preferences, but it doesn't take away from their quality which is good. read more

I really liked my matcha here. The service was quite speedy despite the volume of customers. However, i will say the peppermint matcha latte was not sweetened and it did not taste like peppermint at all. It just tasted like unsweetened matcha which was unfortunate given the price.
