    Biscoff Milk Cake Sanaa Honeycomb Bread Plainhoney Adeni Chai
    Alberto R.

    parking was very easy to find, inside was spacious with lots of seating, clean and a big outdoor area as well. I got the biscoff milk cake, adeni chai & honeycomb. The milk cake was so good, super moist it just melts in your mouth. The Honeycomb & adeni chai were good too. As I was leaving I saw a picture of their iced pistachio latte, need to come back for that one. Looked really good. Service was good too & they had a tv showing the world cup game so that was a plus for me

    this place was super busy when I went! they have great drinks and food. we got the iced yemeni coffee and the iced dirty chai as well as the pistachio latte. I really liked the pistachio latte because it wasn't too much or too sweet. for food we got baklava and honeycomb and this was my first time having honeycomb. it was like if monkey bread and bagels had a baby with cream cheese. baklava was delicious. the place is great for watching the world cup games right now and I saw a lot of people studying. they're also open late!

    Lovely cafe with a great list of beverages and baked goods. The adeni chai is delicious. The portion size was massive - even for a small. Appropriately priced. The ginger lemon refresher was good - weak in the ginger flavor though. Their pistachio baklava was very good, but a bit dry - got the small square one. A little overpriced for the size ($3.5). Friendly staff and tastefully done decor. Good place to work from. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Power outlets indoors. Free WiFi.

    Service check! Food check! Ambiance check! Drinks check, check, check!!! Consistently delicious. No matter what I choose to eat or drink..... this girl always walks away happy!!! Favorites Iced Pistachio Latte, Biscoff milk cake, Pistachio milk cake and bread with honey. This little shop is charming. One of my top 20 businesses in OC.

    Such a cool and unique cafe. Came at night for some dessert and it was still bustling. Love that they have different seating areas including comfy sofa like benches. You could definitely find a spot to read/study or come with a group of friends. The cheesecake was delicious and paired nicely with the ardeni chai. They have a big selection of coffees and desserts which all looked delicious. Definitely recommend!

    We are looking for a nearby coffee place and this showed up as the closest place and we checked it out! Love the ambience and the vibes inside! The staff is super friendly and fun! My husband ordered a flavored latte and loved it! I really wanted to try a tea, but I was so full from dinner and definitely wanna come back What I love most of this place is open very late, which is very rare for the area. So it's nice to find a place as open past 9 PM that you can just hang out have a nice pastry or coffee or tea.

    Pastries are amazing! Ordered the pistachio latte and jalapeño honeycomb this morning and was pretty happy. Strong pistachio flavor to the latte, almost like they added a pistachio butter in. Was a bit sweet, but flavors were good. The jalapeño honeycomb bread was great. Good balance of spice from the jalapeño with the cream cheese, then a bit of sweetness from the honey drizzle. Didn't eat in, so can't speak to the service or ambiance, but would try their pastries again.

    Finally made it here after countless recommendations, and it totally lived up to the hype. The vibes are immaculate--bright, uplifting, and welcoming. Service was fast and top-notch, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the chicken musakhan, potato fatayer, pistachio baklava, and adeni chai. While the food was ok, the overall experience and atmosphere really stole the show. So excited to see so many new halal cafés opening up--this one is definitely worth checking out!

    Amazing coffees, haven't tried the pastries yet! Post lunch, we stopped by for an afternoon pick-me-up. Sana'a Cafe has tempting baked goods, Arabic and Yemeni coffees and espressos and flavored lattes. Arabic Light Roast - This was light, not what I'd typically expect from coffee because it doesn't have any of that chocolatey feel, it's really bright and light in texture and leaves you with a clean, mind clarifying feel. It looks like a "clear" coffee if there is such a thing. It's a good drink, probably not the flavor profile I'd reach for but I can see why people would get this. Mofawar (Medium Roast w/ Cardamom and Cream) - This one had some grittiness to the texture and just a touch of cream to smooth out the strong coffee. I really liked this one and would drink it with or without sugar. My friend got this so I just got a taste, but I will be getting this next time. Pistachio Latte - This was milky smooth with good pistachio taste. Easy drinking, not overly sweet (you can add more sugar if you want). I'd get it again. Sana'a also has Refresher drinks (Mango Passionfruit, Kiwi Dragon Fruit, Mango Watermelon, Mojioto, Strawberry Lemonade, etc.), Smoothies, hot tea and cakes and pastries. They make your coffee fresh as you can see them pouring your cup out of just heated small metal pots. Their hot coffees are served steaming hot so give them a few minutes to cool down before you start sipping. They have a number of seats so you can sit and hang out with your friends and have a talk. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. I will be back to try some other drinks!

    Stopped by Sana'a Cafe and it ended up being one of those dessert spots you immediately want to come back to. We kept it simple and tried a few of their desserts and a drink: pistachio cheesecake, saffron milk cake, rose milk cake, and an iced pistachio latte. Every single item hit. The pistachio cheesecake was rich without being too heavy, with a really smooth texture. The saffron milk cake had a delicate, aromatic sweetness that didn't feel overpowering, and the rose milk cake had a subtle floral flavor that was done really well--not artificial or too strong. The iced pistachio latte tied everything together perfectly. Creamy, slightly nutty, and refreshing without being overly sweet. Honestly, everything we tried was a 10/10. If you're into unique flavors and well-executed desserts, this spot is absolutely worth the drive.

    I've been meaning to try this spot and I'm so happy we finally visited. I hear Sanaa is huge in Beverly Hills and for good reason! The pastries display is so tempting and everything we ordered was so good and not too sweet- much appreciated. The pistachio cheesecake was heavenly- smooth, creamy, just enough sweetness and the crust was perfect. I love the rose petals on top and pistachio bits in it as well. The baklava was just as expected- sweet and delicious with a perfectly crispy and flaky exterior. We also ordered the spinach pastry, and that was my favorite one actually. You'll have to try it. Lots of spinach and had a nice flavor. I also tried their honey lavender latte and it was also good. I'd definitely revisit in the future and recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

    Biscoff milk cake
    Faz K.

    This will be short and sweet. Things i liked: - They have a nice, large outdoor seating area. - Adheni Chai was solid -Biscoff milk cake was spectacular! Things i did not like; just one, inside is kind of crampy but it's an odd shaped retail footprint so they're making lemonade. Lots of parking, decent location and open late. Great establishment!

    Christina M.

    I absolutely love how authentic this place is. From the decor to the menu to the music playing. Its a whole experience! The drinks were delicious and the Staff was very friendly. I will be back to try some of the amazing looking treats they offer.

We also liked that there was a restaurant next to Sabr, so we ended up getting a quesadilla that was HUGE and was yummy treat to go with our drinks. For matcha, I got the einspanner and my friend got the Cinnamon Toast Matcha. I really enjoyed the einspanner matcha! It was smooth and definitely hit the spot. My only mistake was drinking it around 2 PM because I literally could not sleep the rest of the night haha. Overall, good drinks and a chill place to study. Will definitely come back again and try their other drinks next time!

Unfortunately, even after bringing it up, I continued waiting while other customers' drinks were being made, including remaking a drink for someone who had just walked in.
