It has lots of tables and seating for those that want to do some work while having coffee/match/snack. I got the tuna melt and boy oh boy it was so delicious. My friend got the egg panino and we split it. I liked that as well. The jalapenos in there gave it a nice spice to it. I got a protein smoothie which was really filling and enjoyable. My friend recommended this place and maybe we will come back again!

I literally need a rooftop to scream from. This sandwich was sooo gooood. I'm only mad because I'm not hungry anymore. When will I be hungry again? Will.I.EVER.be hungry again [clapping hands emphatically btw]? All the coffee drinks are made with love. The staff here - crème de la creme of human beings. What can I say about them? That local spot you didn't know you needed in your life...until you discover the Green Dragon.

Right off, I will rarely have anything bad to say about a coffee shop that opens at 7AM and has prosecco, wine and beer on the menu. We could have just come in from an overseas flight and for us it's 9PM. Great spot with indoor seating and outdoor seating along sidewalk. If sitting outside the College side is sunnier in the morning and louder. The Hudson side is quieter and less sunny. Also, there is a parklet on Hudson side. Lots of coffee options eventhough I just take it black. Lots of food options also. I had a bacon, egg and cheese sando on sour dough. No carbo Monday starts on..... Monday. I camped just inside the door to the right at a small high counter with 2 plugs along the bottom. Have to keep the electronics charged up you know. So staff is nice seems the people taking orders new everybody's name as they walked in so totally all locals, except for me. I was here for almost 4 hours on my computer and phone and it was not an issue. There were other people here when I came in and still there when I left. I could spend most of my day working here. As cofffee shops go it's one of the best. Having prosecco and wine definitely pushes this place onto 5 star catagory.

The interior makes one feel that you are in a high end cafe with its beautiful decor. Some many items to choose from, the person taking my order was very helpful in explaining the different kinds of drinks and pastries. Ordered the Ginger Honey Jobani as a hot drink, Biscoff Milkcake, Honeycomb, and a Beef Fatayer. There were several kinds of milkcakes which would have the texture like a tres leches cake. The Honeycomb had pockets of cream cheese and was drizzles with honey. The Meat Fatayer is like an empanada. The food and drink were very tasty. Highly recommend to stop by Sanaa Cafe and experience it. Their website shows more cafe openings in the future!

Great food, service and ambience. Highly recommend, spread the word, we need more of thisread more

I came back and ordered the date tahini latte, with dairy milk…read more In general coffee always tastes really strongly bitter to me, so the date and tahini flavors felt subtle to me as a result but I felt they did pair well with the coffee, making it slightly nutty yet creamy and a little less bitter. In the future, I want to try their rose cardamom latte.

Coffee and service and ambiance of sitting outside were all lovely…read more The biscuit sandwich I'm sorry to say was overrated. The biscuits fell apart, and as a sandwich it was a little dry and missing something, maybe a savory jam would've helped? Next time I'll try something sweet instead - the pastries look great.

Both items are very flavorful with a soft flaky texture. I love all of the outdoor seating too. The inside seating is usually crowded and the acoustics make it very loud!

The space is lovely. I love a cafe that has different seating options in terms of height, and there is a lovely spacious outdoor area as well. It's functions well as a work and social gathering space. I tried a guava pastry that was delicious and got a lot of work done (I worked in 3 spots since I like to move around when I work).

They were both underwhelming and reminded me of food I make at home. This may not seem bad, however when you spend $20+ on an entree, personally would want something more elevated. The sesame latte lacked sesame flavor and the lychee Thai tea was just lychee syrup and Thai tea only. Nothing special or unique. Spent $68 for two drink and two entrees. Probably a cool spot for just a latte but I wouldn't recommend it for meals.

Fire acai bowl spot in Elmwood! Palm Acai is definitely one of my favorite acai spots in Berkeley…read more I've tried both the Hunter Bowl and the Gatherer Bowl, and I'd highly recommend both. The toppings always taste super fresh, and there's something about their combination of nut butter and other ingredients that really sets their bowls apart. It is a bit on the pricier side, but that's pretty standard for the area. Service is quick--my bowls have consistently come out within about 5-10 minutes after ordering. There's also plenty of seating inside and the shop itself is really cute. I haven't tried their smoothies yet, but based on how much I love their acai base, I do want to! Overall, a great spot that I'd recommend checking out!

I love the fact that you can add protein to your base, especially since that's not an option in any of the açai bowl places in the south bay (to my knowledge). If you can, try to order ahead online because they are always super busy, especially on the weekends.
