Barakah Cafe

This place keeps coming up in my searches but I never made it out - it was finally time! PARKING:The thing to note about this place is it's located within ISOC so may be tricky to navigate at first. But if you turn onto 13th street, that's where the entrance to the parking lot is. It might be a bit tight depending on the time of day - it was fairly busy when I got there on a weekday afternoon. But after you park, it'll be easy to find the cafe. Look for the signs that say coffee!WHAT I ORDERED:Iced teddy graham latte with cold creamTHE COFFEE:This was amazing! The espresso tasted great, and the honey flavor was perfectly subtle in a way that complimented the drink well. I didn't care too much for the cold foam honestly; I don't think it was think and rich enough to add too much to the drink. But overall this was a pretty solid latte.SERVICE:The latte came out fast, and surprisingly so given how packed it was.VIBES:This is definitely a nice place to catch up with friends, especially with all the comfy seating. Again, though, noting that it was a bit packed when I got there, so I imagine depends on the time. Still, I was able to get a good amount of work done - here's my checklist for work-from-coffee-shop places:* OUTLETS: Yes* WIFI/INTERNET: Yes* VOLUME: A bit loud with children/families when I was there, but not sure how it is at other times* SEATING AVAILABILITY: Relatively small cafe, so there's not a ton but I was able to find a seat* BATHROOMS: Yes, around the corner from the shop* LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions on laptopsBOTTOM LINE:I would definitely come back, especially since the proceeds go back to the community and I need to try the other yummy looking drinks!

I LOVE this cafe! The staff is awesome, the coffee is good, and the profits go to the masjid! ALSO, they are open late during Ramadan, for those late night qiyams. The inside is aesthetic, and they have some comfy couches where you can hang out. They also sell some books and Islamic items as well as candy. Their hours do change, so make sure you check their social media or Yelp page before you head here. I've found the Yelp to be pretty accurate with updates. When they first opened, I wasn't too crazy about the coffee, but lately it has been on point every single time. So, if you only tried them when they first opened, please give them another chance. You'll be glad you did.

Coffee shops are not just about the coffee but also the experience and the atmosphere. Hands down this place checks everything off. Amazing staff always friendly. Shouts out to Sana the #1 Barista.

Highly impressed with Barakah Cafe!! I ordered a matcha with vanilla sweetener and it was SO good!! Sometimes vanilla sweeteners taste fake but this one was special. When ordering their matcha you have a ton of different options to change the flavor profile of the drink such as rose, vanilla, cinnamon, etc. I loved that their matcha was nice and strong. Often I hit up a new coffee shop the matcha is weak. But you know the match is good when it's dark green. The coffee shop is located at at the Islamic Society or Orange County. You will see signs in the parking lot for the coffee shop. Fun fact: the location that Barakah cafe is in used to be the women's prayer hall when I was growing up. As they expanded it turned into the "book store" aka the snack store. And now it's a really dope coffee shop open to the public, not just the Muslim community. Really awesome to see the evolution. Also if you are interested in Islam they have some books for sale.

The lattes consistently offer exceptional flavor, and the overall atmosphere is ideal for productive work sessions. I have never been disappointed with my orders at Barakah Cafe.

As somebody who takes their coffee seriously I've enjoyed every aspect of Barakah Cafe. From the beans they use to the flavors they offer, everything here is a 10. The staff goes the extra mile to ensure that the space is clean and that customers are comfortable.I first ran into Barakah during the month of Ramadan last year. In the most sacred month of the year this spot ensures you're dialed in for prayer.All and all this is a spot worth checking out. If you're from the Garden Grove community stop in and give it a shot.

Where do I even begin, this cafe was so beautiful and had great customer service, the barista, she said her name was Sana gave me the up most respect and served me my amazing matcha at top quality. Strongly suggest and will be back again for sure.

Got the lavender latte and loved it! The ambiance is also so cozy and warm. I can sense the warmth in the community! Will come back here! Also the baristas are super sweet and super helpful

I freakin LOVE this place! One of my favorite coffee shops. It's inside one of the oldest Moques in SoCal and everyone is really nice and welcoming
