    Cheese faster and adani chai
    Ayaa A.

    From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how clean and welcoming the place felt, filled with nothing but happy customers enjoying themselves. I was honestly a little nervous to come in at first because it was pretty crowded, but the second Bahar at the front cashier greeted me with such a warm smile, I immediately felt comfortable and welcomed. Now I'm sitting here enjoying the amazing atmosphere, perfectly balanced music, delicious fatayer, and the most authentic Adani chai I've had in a long time. It tastes exactly like home, and that feeling is priceless. Truly a place that makes you feel right at home. This will definitely be my after work spot!! ALLAHUMA BARIK

    Brand new spot. Open for about 3 months. This place is fancy. Lots of table. You can scan the qr code on the table to order. Really friendly service. I got the iced biscoff latte. You really have to mix it. It wasn't as sweet as I wanted. But I drank it. Next time I'm going to try their Pistachio latte. I'll be back

    Came here on a breakfast date with my bby. Had busy day ahead of us so why not treat ourselves! Our thing has been lately discovering new coffee shops. You order on a kiosk and from there the barista makes your drink. There are plenty of options of pastries to pick from. I love this new coffee shop so unique! My bby got a caramel latte and I got a hot coco both delicious! Definitely will stop by again!

    "matcha" latte
    Arlene A.

    Maybe they're known for other items, but it's not an excuse for their "matcha" (which I'm hesitant to even call it that) to be horrendously bad. On top of it already being expensive, oat milk substitutions were $1.50, and for them to serve me a drink that was 85% milk, 10% syrup, and 5% "matcha" is outright embarrassing. At that point, take it off the menu if you can't make it right. Luckily I got a refund, but service was very slow on a Saturday morning with two people working. Interior was clean, but I won't be coming back here.

    Very nice inside, only downside is parking. The biscoff cheesecake and coffee were delicious. This is a nice place to hang out and grab a drink or dessert.

    When you walk in the vibe is amazing you get comfortable cafe feeling. With an open space and bright lighting! You can go here to study (WiFi available) work spaces, seating for large to small groups. Customer service was amazing (shout out to Naz or Nas) Biscoff latte was 10/10 White chocolate mocha latte 10/10 (if you like sweeter coffee this is for you) We'll be coming here again especially since they have late hours and variety of specialty drinks + food!

    Beef fatayer
    Linda R.

    I love this location, it's conveniently on my way home so no having to detour and go all the way to Oakland when I want to indulge in a sweet craving. Sana'a's is definitely my guilty pleasure. The ambience is so nice, space is open and cozy, yet roomy. It looks absolutely luxurious inside and out! Service was the best. They were pretty prompt for how busy it was last Friday night at 8:30pm when I decided to stop by. So glad I did! I got the Pistachio Cheesecake my favorite 10/10 Beef Fatayer 10/10 Iced Biscoff Latte 10/10 From service to food to drinks, it was all amazing. I definitely recommend if you're in the area.

    Iced Pistachio Latte

    First timer and I'm hooked! Parking lot is a bit small but there is also street parking. The place is spacious and has plenty of seats and outlets for working. The staff was nice and helpful. I ended up ordering the iced pistachio latte less sweet and it was perfect. It was soooo good. I defined want to come back and try some of the pastries and other drinks.

    I used to work in Oakland and would always stop by their location there. Now that I work in Hayward and they opened a location here, I will be here every day! My favorite coffee. The inside is gorgeous. A lot of design. They have a moderate sized parking lot. Tons of delicious food options! Desserts are also so good. This might be my hands down favorite coffee shop I've ever been to. The staff is always friendly. The managers also roam the floor checking in on you and are nice to talk to! This place is unbeatable. 10/10 Everytime I come!!! Must try.

    My coworker had been talking about coming here since before they opened so we decided to just stop by and get some drinks for lunch. Interior is sooo beautiful and perfectly decorated. It is incredibly clean with plenty of really nice seating. Employees are really nice and the owner (i think?) talked to us for a bit and gave me a free cheesecake. They were so nice and service was fast!! I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk. It was ok! I think i should have gotten it with regular milk and i do like my matcha on the stronger side. Next time i'd like to try the biscoff latte or one of the Yemeni specialty drinks!! I also ordered some baklava (easily one of my top 5 desserts ever) and they were rlly good. My fave was the cheesecake the owner gave me!! Soft, fluffy cheesecake. Not too dense like a NY cheesecake. Graham cracker crust was amazinggggg and it had pistachio cream drizzle (i think) that paired sooo well. So delish, drooling thinking ab it rn lol. Can't wait to go here again!!

    The latest Yemeni coffee and pastry chain offering a variety of espresso drinks, Specialty Yemeni iced and hot drinks, refreshers, smoothies, teas and traditional sweet and savory items. I've been to their other locations in Downtown Oakland and in Mountain View and really enjoy: :: Adeni chai - black tea, cardamom and cream - strong milk tea with evaporated milk :: Yemeni Mofawar - medium roast coffee with cream and cardamom Sana'a Cafe drinks are bold with strong cardamon and other spices. Pastries are decent and worth a try. If you like cheesecake, Sana'a Cafe's version has Middle Eastern flavors (rose, pistachio) lighter texture, less sweet and not as dense/creamy as American styles. Texture more of an unbaked cheesecake and not a fan...just a preference. Baklavas are flaky and not overly sweet. I prefer the savory items like the chicken muskhan (rolled flatbread with shredded chicken, caramelized onions, sumac, cinnamon) and fatayers (dough with ground meat, spices, onions and folded into a triangle) chicken and beef. Both delicious but wish they had offered some yogurt-tahini sauce to accompany. Service ok. Interior beautiful and spacious with plenty of patio seating. Private parking lot behind with limited street parking on busy Mission Blvd.

    Eats, pastries. Cake slices in food case.

    Sana'a Cafe opened recently where Entreprise Rent-A-Car once was. Interior upgraded to Sana'a's signature ambience. Seating inside and out. Soft music in background. Small parking lot. Some street parking available. Orders by apps are 20% off. Ordered at counter. Got drink in 10 minutes. Named called out. Referigerated cases next to order counter holds eats, pastries, Cake slices Offerings (Yemeni inspired): refreshers, pastries. Cake slices, empanadas, cold & hot drinks, teas, smoothies...merch Sips: Qisher (hot) 16 oz. (5.99) No sugar -made from dried coffee bean husks. Flavored with cinnamon & ginger. Tasted smooth, not bold. Subtly flavorful. -menu lists price as 5.49, didn't bother to complain. 4.5 stars Semi-Worthy:YMMV. Service:ok. Quantiy: reasonable. Need to adjust price on menu. Good deal ordering by app. *building labled as Sana'a HQ.

I like to look for new spins on lattes to see what barista's are whipping up to make things unique. I came in thinking I was going to get a basic latte, but the Borgia Mocha caught my eye! I asked the cashier if it was a good choice and she recommended it. I was a little unsure how the two would blend and how much orange they would use in it, but it came out amazing! Honestly probably one of the top 10 unique mocha's I have tried and it was delicious! I loved the burst of refreshing orange that complimented the chocolate. The flavors danced on my tastebuds like two separate flavors that blended together as one. Each holding their own note that added value to the drink making it unique. I was instantly impressed and wish I found this on more menus! A classic mocha with a refreshing twist of orange was a pleasant surprise! I'm so glad I stopped in for a pick me up! I also loved all the art on the large walls and there looked to be plenty of tables and seating for people to eat and work at.

Was meeting up with a friend from Berkeley and he found this spot in between the both of us. Pros and cons! + The coffee - holy shit. Got a cortado. And drank it without sugar it was so good. A touch of bitter (it's coffee - duh!) but so smooth, almost nutty but buttery at the same time. + Got a chicken salad sandwich. It came stacked HIGH with hints of sweetness and curry. Freshest produce. Honestly, I was hungry but could only eat half of it, it was so big. + Friend got a warmed cinnamon bun. Incredible. Yeasty, chewy almost crisp on the outside but pillowy soft on the inside. + Wide open space inside -- high ceilings, one big central area. Not tucked away spaces -- which might or might not match your preference. + Perfect amount of coffeehouse buzz. Music playing lowish in the background and lots of conversations. Just enough to quell my ADHD tendencies. * Honestly can't think of any negatives. Prices are a bit high but happy to pay it for such a quality experience. I think my cortado was decently priced -- maybe $6 or so? Sandwich was $18 or so but done really well and came with a bowl of soup (chips, fruit, and something else was an option instead of soup, but tomato bisque with a sandwich? Divine.) - An hour away from where I live but if you live anywhere East Bay, my curse is your blessing ;-)

    This is for the Morning Buzz blend whole beans only…read more I ran across the Airborne Roasting stand at the Hayward farmers market, and asked about light roast beans. I was told they only have medium and dark, but the medium tastes pretty light. I asked if the beans were washed or natural, and she couldn't tell me, and wasn't even sure what that was. I should have taken that as a warning that these beans were not the same level as Devout Coffee roasters beans, which is what I usually get. However, since Airborne was cheaper than the beans I usually get from Devout Coffee, I went ahead and bought a pound of Morning Buzz. This morning, I brewed a comparison between the Airborne Roasting Morning Buzz, and my last remaining light roast beans from Devout Coffee, which at that point was several months old, whereas the Airborne beans where freshly roasted. Well, even so, the Devout light roast beans were far superior in taste than the Airborne beans. The Airborne tasted too burnt, and lacked those subtle flavors that make coffee so enjoyable. It was just a one-note band with loud speakers. My recommendation is, if you like a light roast, and sophisticated flavors in your coffee, get something else. I understand a lot of people do enjoy the burnt flavor (Starbucks, anyone?), but I wish they wouldn't have told me the medium roast tasted like a light roast: it doesn't. Note: in the end, with lots of sugar, lots of milk, and some heavy whipping cream, I was able to have a nice cup of coffee-flavored sweetness.
