Loved this coffee shop! The interior is super cute and there is a lot of seating. Staff is friendly and helped me pick out my coffee. They have different food options and a fun variety of drinks. I tried the biscoff latte and got a lentil sambusa. The latte was yummy and if you like a sweeter drink this is definitely a good option but it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet which was great! They have a good variety of sambusas but they run out so if you want more options try to go earlier in the day. I will definitely visit this place again! read more

Barakah Coffee House is a new community-focused coffee house serving drinks & eats in a warm, relaxing atmosphere! The staff was nice and we enjoyed the food and drinks. I personally like my coffee stronger so next time I would order another shot. I loved how creative the drinks were. The kid's menu is also a nice touch! Here's a breakdown of everything we tried: * Cinnamon Roll Latte $8 * Campfire Chai $8 * Iced Chocolate $4.50 * Pistachio Claw Croissant $5.50 * Potato Sambusa $2 The cinnamon roll latte and pistachio claw croissant were our standouts read more

Was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by Barakah Coffee. There was a ton of traffic and construction going on around the area, but surprisingly they still had plenty of parking. The shop itself is a nice size...not too small, not too big with some outdoor seating too. Staff was super kind and welcoming. They also have homemade pastries that looked hella good, but I had to show some self-control. Definitely trying those next time. I got the Biscoff coffee, less sweet, and it was soo bomb dot com. Super creamy, smooth, and just different from your typical coffee shop drink. My niece got the matcha with vanilla and loved hers too. I'd definitely recommend checking Barakah out. Good service, plenty of parking, and drinks that are a different from other shops and so delicious. I'll be back and next time I'm grabbing one of those pastries. Hit me up next time you go I'll pull up! read more

I stopped in here to try some drinks. The strawberry matcha was really good! The watermelon lemonade wasn't all that. It was too sweet, like they added watermelon syrup to bottled lemonade. It didn't taste natural. Definitely could have been watered down. The banana chocolate chip loaf was really good, and all of the pastries looked pretty good though, so l I'll definitely be back to try those. And I'll try a latte next time too. The vibes are really great though, the service was great and it was very clean. read more

This is actually the first place that I've seen that has a date latte! Loved it, not super sweet and has that sweet nutty flavor. I was running in and out but the seating was also comfortable and looked like a good place to catch up with friends or study. The staff was friendly and I also loved that they had a bookshelf full of books and games to entertain yourself. Very welcoming spot to enjoy a nice crafted coffee read more

They have good amount of customer enjoying some drinks and treat. The potato samosa is soooooo good! I bought 1 and had to come back to buy the last 2. Sorry for the customer that comes in after.. but it was so good! The sauce is a bit spicy but pair perfectly with the samosa.

I had driven by this spot a few times and noticed the new coffee shop had opened, so I decided to stop in and give it a try. It's located in a shopping plaza that's not the most attractive area, right next to Planet Fitness, Wei Wei, and a few other businesses. On the plus side, there is plenty of parking available. I visited on a weekday morning hoping to get some work done. My first impression was positive--the space felt bright, clean, and welcoming. There are three large tables inside that would be great for working, but they were all occupied when I arrived. Fortunately, there was still seating available along the bar counter. The atmosphere was very quiet. There was a large flat-screen TV in the corner, which felt a little unusual for a coffee shop, but it was playing soccer with the volume barely audible. There wasn't any background music, so it ended up being a nice, peaceful place to work. The barista greeted me as soon as I walked up to the counter, and I ordered their date latte made with house-made date syrup. The coffee itself was decent. I enjoyed the flavor of the date syrup--it added a subtle sweetness without being overpowering. My only complaint was the foam texture. It was quite airy and bubbly rather than smooth and creamy, which wasn't my favorite. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd be open to stopping by again if I'm in the area, especially to try one of their cold coffee drinks. That said, I did find the prices a bit on the high side considering the location. read more

Barakah Coffee House - Dates latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

A new independently owned coffee shop has opened in the Rolando Plaza off University Ave. Barakah Coffee House has set up a quaint space with large comfy lounge chairs as well as tables for hanging out to do work. The plaza lot had plenty open parking spaces so that wasn't a concern. The service counter and menu screen were located in the back right corner of the suite. Coffee, tea, lattes, refreshers, and specials made up the drink categories. Baked goods and sambusas were the available food choices. I had some time to kill so I picked a Mango Lemonade Refresher and two Sambusas, beef and chicken. The drink was 16 oz with light ice and had a mild mango flavor. The two pastries were triangular shaped and filled with the respective minced meat. The sambusas weren't as large as you would find at an Indian cuisine restaurant, however they were also not as pricey. The ambiance and layout were much more aligned with what I like to see at a coffee house. Many of the shops nowadays have a cold, industrial feel to them with minimal decor. That wasn't the case with Barakah Coffee House which was why I awarded a four star rating for my recent visit. read more

What do you say? You have something cookie butter? YES PLEASE. Sign me up. If you didn't guess it, I got the cookie butter/ biscoff iced latte/ coffee. At first sip, I couldn't tell it was biscoff. Not the second or third sip. I'm just very let down when I can't make out what I'm drinking. This was very milky, not enough coffee taste. The cup shape is cute but horrible for transport. I would give a second try if In the area, conveniently located in the same center as Dollar store and Wei Wei. read more

Yelp brought me to this cute and cozy and super clean coffee shop when I was on my way to interpret around the area. I love how they put so much effort in having fresh flowers at every table, so much appreciated. Also the walls with that nice 'morocan tiles' pattern is so lovely. Ample space and with a big TV to follow sports if you want to. Capuccino was perfect and I didn't try pastries this time but everything looked fresh and delicious. read more

It was my first time visiting this coffee shop. It's located in a shopping center, so parking was very easy with plenty of spaces available. The shop itself is on the smaller side, but it's very nicely decorated. The color scheme is really pretty, the music was calm and relaxing, and everything was very clean, which I always appreciate. As for customer service, it wasn't the best experience. The girl who helped me wasn't very friendly and came across a little rude. Since it was my first time there, I was asking for recommendations and opinions, but she wasn't very helpful or kind about it. Other than that, the coffee itself was amazing definitely a 10/10. I ordered a Biscoff iced latte, and it was really delicious. Would I make the drive just to go there again? Probably not, but if I'm ever in the area, I'd consider stopping by and giving it another try. read more

Such an incredible gem. The sweets and drinks are delicious (I have brought probably a dozen friends and they've all raved about it while having completely different items!) and the space is so gorg with its decor. It's so spacious and warm and located in a plaza with a ton of parking! Also, can we give them a shoutout for being open so late and still having 10/19 customer service at any point in the day? Genuinely such a wonderful spot. read more

Stopped in here with a friend the other morning since I'd seen an article in the Rolando newsletter (put out by local realtor Doug Lister who always does great things for the Rolando community). The shop is beautifully decorated and has lots of seating. It was pretty quiet when we arrived, but they were watching the World Cup games on a big TV towards the back where orders are placed. We were greeted warmly and we placed our order. My friend had a basic latte and I tried the date latte. Both were really good, and I really enjoyed the earthy sweetness the date syrup gave to mine. Before leaving I used the restroom which is also beautifully tiled and appointed to pair nicely with the main area. Will definitely return again, and I hope their business does very well! read more

Okay first WOW!! The banana bread is so moist you HAVE to try it. Great service, the guys behind the counter were kind and communicated the wait, they were working hard. The ambiance of the place is so chill, lots of seating. Lots of parking, it was super accessible. I think i found my new spot! Biscoff latte- 9.5/10 best biscoff latter we've had, great flavor Campfire Chai - 8/10 great marshmallow flavor and the cute little marshmallow topping?!? shut up The drinks are on the sweeter side though so I'm definitely doing another shot of espresso or cut back on sweetness if it's an option. The only reason the drinks didn't get a full 10 was because the sweetness. Overall, loved the experience. Will definitely be coming back for a study spot and hangout! read more

Support local, and this is LOCAL! I was the first customer of the day last week and I'm glad that I had the chance to get the vibe before they were busy. Do they get busy? I don't know, but they should be because the neighborhood needed a good local shop. Not Starbucks or Better Buzz, a truly local shop. I'm a black coffee guy and I think it serves as a great baseline for the overall product. The good news is that they serve a good Americano and I was even asked, "do you want an extra shot" after I paid. Hell yeah! A customer has been earned in me and I will gladly support places like this that continue to make our neighborhood and local economy that much better. read more

The owner is very nice and the selection of coffee and various drinks is large and affordable. The atmosphere is quiet and clean.

Took my daughter-in-law here for some Matcha when she came down from Utah and she had to go back for seconds absolutely loved it. She said the Matcha with the date syrup was her favorite and the service was really good. They even gave us some of the baked goods that they had made for the day and they loved them. I don't remember what they were called. They were kind of like an empanada, but every single bite got eaten because they were delicious. There's plenty of room for a group to go in here and have drinks or food and drink drinks and we will definitely be back. read more
