There are plenty of open seats inside, which is great for spending time with friends, reading a book or studying. I tried a few things this time - the Biscoff latte which is new, the pistachio and rose croissant, the milk cake, and the spinach and cheese turnover. Beginning with the latte, it actually wasn't too sweet and the Biscoff gave the coffee a light richness that wasn't overpowering. The milk cake is soft and practically melts in your mouth. The croissant goes well with the pistachio and rose filling. Lastly, the spinach and turnover is light, baked to golden perfection, and is the perfect size to share. I can't wait to come visit again!

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!

It was an awkward few moments as I don't know what is going on with these apps, and I wish that I had picked up my debit card a few weeks ago (they don't accept cash, but they accept Cash App-- I didn't know this until all of my attempts to pay failed). My review of the cafe is only about 20% biased because of this kind gesture. I hope this cafe doesn't become overly crowded, as the mellow ambiance and the spaciousness of the place would be the reason why I'd personally return to this cafe. It seems conducive for working, studying, reading, and/or writing. I visited on a Sunday afternoon, and I only hear a low to moderate level of noise in the background. The name of the cafe might be a nod to, and/or a thoughtful commentary of the "Kinfolk" lifestyle magazine. I forget if they have Mormon roots and/or if they are Oregon-based. I never looked into it.

There was no wait, and the staff were genuinely friendly from the moment I walked in. Sometimes tea shops can feel a little rushed when they're busy, but this place had a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I ordered both a matcha latte and a hojicha latte to compare. The hojicha ended up being the clear winner for me. It had that warm, roasted flavor that makes hojicha so comforting without tasting overly sweet or heavy. It's the kind of drink I'd come back specifically to order again. The matcha latte was perfectly drinkable, but it didn't stand out the same way. It wasn't bad by any means, just not the most memorable.

On the downside, the cleanliness of the place was poorly managed, there was a knife on the floor next to our table, and the floors were full of crumbs and little pieces of food dropped by the clients so the ambiance wasn't that good but for a quick lunch it's totally worth it.
