Sana'a Cafe is a Yemeni cafe known for its flavorful drinks and pastries. There's plenty of free parking in the complex in front of the store. There's also plenty of aesthetic indoor and outdoor seating. The service was okay and our food took a while to come. The honeycombs were a bit dry and weren't as good as the one's from Qamaria. The chicken fatayer tasted flavorful and was crispy. The pistachio cake just tasted like an average tres leches, but the tiramisu cheesecake was decadent and flavorful. The prices were also a bit expensive as well but they have a promotional offer with coupons in the mail. I'd recommend this place to a friend who wanted to go to a cute middle eastern cafe and take nice pictures.

Firstly, Very positive energy, Yemeni coffeehouse & desserts - so many wonderful Middle Eastern, choices. People are enjoying Turkish coffee, (could be something else ) Lots of people playing board games outside under heated gas lights. What a wonderful addition to Lake Forest, and especially the shopping center! In addition, Seems to be excellent as well is service, waiters bring the coffee, Turkish cups to the table and all right to the table patrons told me that Yemen is right next to Saudi Arabia. My daughter told me that the desert, she also chose tastes excellent too.

A wonderful and cozy cafe to relax and enjoy coffee, tea, and sweets. The baklava that I shared with my family were yummy. Soft at same time flaky on the top. I had the Yemeni Latte with cardamom. It was rich and subtle just the way I like it! A wide variety of very interesting Yemeni coffees and teas to choose from. Savory sandwiches are available too. Service is fast and friendly.

I hate when this happens... I go to a place with super high expectations and end up being so let down. I love dessert, I eat a lot of it. And I'm not talking boxes of store bought hohos and ding dongs. I like the good stuff, the quality stuff. The things that delicious dreams are made of. For the service, I'll give it a solid 4. Nothing crazy here. Basic interaction at the counter. The cafe itself is pretty large for being a cafe, and offers plenty of seating. On to what I ordered... a simple piece of the pistachio tiramisu. At first sight, it looked good. Nice layers. I was excited for my first bite, especially since I paid $9 for it (I figured, for this price, it has to be amazing). But man, I was so disappointed. It had the taste of something that had been sitting in the fridge. That was my first reaction - "why does this taste like fridge?". Once I got past that, and took my second bite, I realized that the top layer tasted, artificial. That's all I could come up with it to describe it. Not light, not fresh, but, almost plastic-y. And I don't know why. Needless to say, not my favorite experience. And just so very disappointed. Especially since it was $9. How are they able to charge $9 for this? What is the saying, "daylight robbery". In your face, no qualms about it. It just doesn't seem... right. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a delicious, quality sweet treat. I would look elsewhere.

I had the pleasure of stopping by for a quick visit and tried the Adeni Chai and some honeycomb bread stuffed with cheese and drizzled with some syrup. Both were pretty good! The cheese in the honeycomb was a little tangy for me, but with the piping hot cup of chai, it was delicious. I loved the spices of the chai along with the touch of evaporated milk. It was such a treat for the taste buds - I'll be back for more of that drink! I also like how the place sells beans and a wide assortment of pastries (both sweet and savory). Friendly service and very relaxing environment makes this a great place to stop by!

Wide selection of cakes, muffins, and savory items. They also have a couple honeycomb options. Regular cheese and jalapeño cheese. They can heat up the savory items so it's warm when you consume them. I got a few: potato, cheese, and spinach. I tried the earl grey tea and saffron muffin. Very good. Employees are friendly and plenty of parking. There's a lot of seating too. Eight tables inside and about ten outside.

Sana'a Cafe is such in a gem in this area.Not only do they open very late but they have one of the best drinks and desserts. I met with some friends here on a late Friday night to hang out. It was all our first time and we were surprised how busy it was. As we stood in line waiting to place our order, we were in awe of all the different speciality desserts they had. They had cakes, brownies, cookies, and many other pastries. We came very late that night and I was surprised how many dessert items were still available. There were lots of pistachio items which I loved. I ended up getting a hot chocolate and shared a pistachio baklava and pistachio milk cake with one other person. The hot chocolate was well done. The two desserts were both good. I liked that the milk cake wasn't too sweet and was really good. The baklava was also good and everyone enjoyed it. I also got a sip of their pistachio latte which was also really good. There is a lots of seating inside and outside of this cafe. It's such a great place to hang out at. However it does get really busy so grabbing a seat can be difficult. We were able to grab a table outside. You order at the register and they bring out the item to you. I wouldn't definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

*****Amazing Arabic Style Coffee!*****A very lovely cafe with a fresh open vibe. They have the best coffee i have had in a long time. High quality, fragrant, flavorful.They have dessert style coffee which my daughter had (white chocolate latte). She loved it. I had the Sena Coffee with Ginger, Cinnamon, cardamom,...wow! What an amazing drink. It's hot and refreshing at the same time. This is an amazing drink!Parking is easy. Customer Service is greatI would love to hav e coffee here again!

This is a coffee shop where I have passed by before and I was wondering about. Finally was able to go in and try their drinks and a pastry. I got tea, drink, and a cake. This place has something for everyone. There is seating inside and outside. The people are kind and helpful. Would definitely come back and recommend this place.
