Super pretty vibe inside and I would say a great places to meet friends or study. The customer service was great when i asked if my coffee could have no sugar in it and she gave me a bunch of different options. read more

Stopped into the new Sana'a Cafe in Elk Grove, after frequenting their downtown location. A number of times of the past few years. We ordered the following: Yemeni Latte (med) iced Yemeni Chai (hot) Drinks were great as usual, and now we have a new spot to frequent that's a lot closer to us that then the downtown location. And soon they are to have 3 locations in the area with them preparing for a newer location in the Arden area. read more

Waited about 15 minutes in line with my brother on a Saturday. We ordered the Yemeni ice latte and hot adeni chai. Both drinks were not pleasant at all. The yemeni latte had thick syrup just clumped at the bottom. I don't understand why the syrup was not mixed with the espresso shot to dissolve? The drink was clearly made as an after thought. My brother took one sip of the adeni chai and threw it out. He can not stand low quality milk so this was a bust. We won't be back. read more

Been to this place twice to give them a fair analysis on how everything is. I think this place is overrated. First off, the wait to get a drink is far too long. I get that it was a little busy but the workers had no sense of urgency when making the drinks. They were working like they just woke up and are just preparing something for themselves. Drinks/food are tasty but the prices are ridiculous. My daughter wanted the potato bread and I was surprised to see it ring up as 6 bucks. Its a very small piece of bread. You can finish it in two bites. I get things are more expensive now but Im fairly certain the cafe is a bit greedy for profit. I dont usually care if the person who took my order is friendly or not but its worth mentioning that the person taking my order lacked a soul. I would have felt better vibes if I made my order on a tablet. This place needs a lot of work. I probably wont be back. read more

Been wanting to try this place for awhile. It was just okay. We tried the iced matcha latte and the iced Spanish latte. Way too much ice for both drinks. And because of that, just tasted like milk. Maybe we'll come back again to try the pastries but the drinks were not it. It was crowded but the interior is nice. read more

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

I sought out this coffee shop in an effort to try something different and was pleased with my experience. The decor was beautiful and felt very opulent. I was a little overwhelmed with the menu and the cashier was very nice and helpful as I selected my items. I ended up choosing an adeni chai to drink along with a Dubai danish. The chai was rich and strong and the danish was fresh and not overly sweet. I would try this cafe again if I'm in the area. read more

I dont know if it was too early but the fact that it wasnt busy made me both happy and sad. They definitely need more customers but maybe it was too early. Anyway, I ordered a hot Spanish latte and it was so smooth and perfectly sweetened! The ambiance was also tranquil and the decor is lovely. They lost a star because of the lack luster cashier that looked like he was angry about taking our order. Other than that I really liked their service. I will return to try other things on their menu. read more

You can definitely tell they use quality ingredients. Coffee is organic. Iced matcha with strawberry puree was good. This type of matcha doesn't come with syrup, so I suggest getting some because the puree is not too sweet. Vanilla syrup paired well. Baklava was crispy and sweet. Knafeh was good as well. Pastries are a bit pricey. Staff is well mannered and pleasant. Nice ambiance. Clean bathroom. read more

Parking: Free with plenty of spaces in the shopping complex. Sana'a Café pays tribute to Yemen's rich coffee heritage, as Yemen is widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee cultivation and brewing. More than just a coffee shop, it offers a chance to experience Yemeni culture through its drinks, food, décor, and atmosphere. Ambience: Beautiful Middle Eastern décor with gold-and-black furniture, chandeliers, and traditional music playing in the background. The ordering process is efficient: order and pay at the counter, take the buzzer, pick up your food when it's ready, and return your cups and plates to the designated station when you're done. There's also a small private room in the back that can be reserved for larger groups. Another plus: they're open late: until 11 PM on weekdays and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. What I'd recommend: * Drinks: Adani chai and Turkish coffee if you enjoy authentic, spice-forward flavors. * Dessert: Baklava (tiny, super sweet), Biscoff milkcake (much sweeter) or pistachio milkcake. * Savory: Chicken Musakhan and Chicken Fatayer. They warm them up before serving, and both were flavorful with tender chicken. When I visited, everyone was watching the Australia vs. Egypt World Cup match. The café erupted with cheers every time Egypt made a good play, with many customers proudly wearing Egypt jerseys. It was my first time seeing such an energetic World Cup watch party... without a single beer in sight! This place offers more than coffee and pastries: it's a chance to experience a different culture in a warm, lively atmosphere. read more

The inside of this cafe is gorgeous! I love the ambiance and decorations. They have single tables and offer foot rests. The cafe is very large and seating was very comfortable. They have a section in the back but it's only available to larger study groups/parties. I ordered the iced pistachio latte and it was delicious! I thought it was a nice place to study, but a bit on the noisier side with volume of music so I would recommend noise cancelling headphones if you do plan to study here. They do offer wifi, but the connection wasn't very stable for me so I was mainly using my hotspot. I think this is a great spot to grab coffee and catch up with friends! read more

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

Sana'a Cafe is a stunning halal cafe! The ambiance amazing details epic branding on point! The offerings are as good as the place looks with quality in every aspect! Pulling up in the strip mall you don't expect much. But when you cross that threshold... wow! Prepare to be teleported to a little slice of Yemen in Elk Grove! When searching for vegan options this place came up. I literally had no idea what to expect and let alone that it was a Yemen establishment. But as a coffee snob my favorite coffee is the a light roast Yemen Mocha beans but they didn't have any. The staff were wonderful patient, kind, knowledgeable, radiating warmth and pride in the establishment. They do have a plethora of milk alternatives Coconut, Oat, Almond... Though for vegan food they only had the potato fatayer. I ordered the SANA'A LATTE and you can choose the level of sweetness. I got the lowest amount as I'm not big on sugar. I also got the potato fatayer. The surley teen (my kid) got the spinach feta and potato fatayer. No sauces given nor needed these were delish! Perfect balance of flavors and like a baked samosa or turnover (the non-flakey dough variety) The edges were crisp, the middle with stuffing was moist, not soggy, exquisite baking perfection! They don't make their offerings in-house but wow did they do their research on sourcing quality goods from local bakers, and premium ingredients! The Sana'a latte is their best selling latte and it was so good, that I had to order my second choice the rose latte to go! Had I stayed any longer I would have gotten more to go! If you are in the area check this place out! It's in my top 3 picks for coffee! read more

I had this coffee lounge saved in my IG as a place to visit. And finally had a chance to stop in. Loved the decor probably because there was so much gold. Lol. The smell of coffee resonated. They also had on display pastries and desserts. So I decided to try the cheesecake and after talking with owner, he kindly wanted me to try the coffee cake. Flavor is a little different from what I'm used to to but I'd be interested in knowing the ingredients they may use. I also ordered a caramel macchiato. Which has been my go-to coffee for awhile now at other places. But Sana's coffee is so good. The coffee was smooth, no bitter taste. I havent been able to go back but it keeps lingering in the back of mind to return. Meanwhile, I've been telling friends and family to try it. read more

We ordered the Sana'a latte, Biscoff milk cake, Dubai chocolate milk cake, coffee cake, and kataifi. The Sana'a latte was enjoyable, though I'm not much of a coffee enthusiast, so I can't speak too much on how it compares to other coffee drinks. The kataifi was by far the sweetest item we tried and ended up being our least favorite. It was quite hard, and while the person at the counter mentioned that it was almost the same as kunafeh, we didn't find that to be the case. I can see the inspiration behind it, but the texture and overall experience were pretty different. As for the milk cakes, they all share a very similar base flavor. The main difference comes from the toppings rather than the cake itself. The Biscoff and Dubai chocolate milk cakes were both excellent and probably the best items we ordered. The coffee cake was also very good, with a strong coffee flavor that really came through. read more

I've been waiting to try Yemeni coffee in Elk Grove since my friends rave about the Sacramento location. The service is so hospitable and the woman at the counter was patient work my questions. It is truly beautiful inside . Gold and black accents. It is truly a community space. I'd say this not a place for studying but for meeting friends and family. The coffee was delicious. I had the Sana'a latte- I love cardamom and the flavor was at the forefront. The coffee is strong but not overpowering. The flavors are a great balance. Out of all the drinks. Everyone liked mine the best. Will definitely be back insha'allah! I hope they get to expand even further. read more

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

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

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

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

Tired of the Corporate Coffeehouse? The Sana'a experience is not the same. Sana'a Cafe captures the Yemeni coffee & culture with a focus on the customer experience. Whether you want coffee, latte's, snacks or something more, you will find it at Sana'a. I heard about their Pistachio coffee so had to go try it. We tried both variations - the coffee and the latte. The iced pistachio latte was sweet (perfect for me). The pistachio coffee was not as sweet. I went for round two and asked for a recommendation and ordered the iced biscoff latte. It was also satisfying. We arrived in the middle of Egypt playing Australia in the World Cup and the place was electric with Egyptian fans - and Egypt pulled out the victory in the penalty shootout. Definitely exciting. The owner was passing around free fruity smoothies to everyone - and it was delicious. I will be going back to try the specialty coffees like the Iced Sana'a Latte, the Iced Yemeni Latte, the White Mocha Latte and snacks. Sana'a has a strong presence in the Bay Area but whether in Elk Grove or Lake Forest, you can find the one you love! 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

When they first opened I was a fan and saw myself coming back often but recently I've been disappointed. I love desserts so I always get something from the case but the flavor has continuously gotten that old fridge stale flavor infused into the dessert. It might depend on what you get and what flavors because I've had the biscoff flavor milk cake which was stronger in flavor so it might have masked that stale taste but I had the kunafa which was terrible because it absorbed so much of the fridge flavor I had to toss it out. I love the variety the case always has but it might be messing up how some products sit and taste. The drinks however haven't disappointed. They're always very strong and meant for sipping which is nice for a study session. Service has been fine. The interior can get crowded but I prefer to do takeout anyway read more

Cute shop with huge space. Customer service was so so. We arrived right at opening time and put in our order. Quick service. My daughter and I really enjoyed the space, our drinks and snacks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This was my first time trying this place, and my first thought when I walked in there was how beautifully decorated the cafe was. There are many tables that you are able to sit at and there is also much to look at. The service was great. They made her drinks fast and the cashier was very kind. She explained what all the drinks tasted like when we asked her a few questions about them. I got the rose latte it was pretty good but I was expecting more of a floral taste. Overall I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting a good coffee! 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

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
