    Knafooza
    Clayton Y.

    Awesome experience here! It was my first time and the staff was super helpful in explaining the options and the flavors to me. Got to sample a few ice cream options before choosing. Ended up going with the knafooza with baklava crunch ice cream. Shop wasn't too busy so got to have some nice conversations inside. Seating and parking can be a little limited during peak hours. Everything tasted great!

    Excellent service and dessert! Samantha the server was so warm, welcoming and helpful guiding us in our selections!

    Excellent service and dessert! We had karak chai with saffron, knafeh (both crispy and sweet), Istanbul coffee ice cream, rose strawberry ice cream. Pistachio baklava and knafeh kishneh. Samantha the server was so warm, welcoming and helpful guiding us in our selections! She encouraged us to try samples of all the ice creams we wanted. 10/10 for service!

    Syrian ice cream

    We noticed a new location, and since we love the Orange location, we were excited to see what this one has to offer in Little Arabia. First impressions: place is smaller than the Orange location, I believe there are three tables and a small barstool section. So it's definitely less spacious than the other location but we didn't have any issues finding seating on a Sunday at 2 pm. Service: The owner is super kind and personable. He is passionate about his business and has a great vision for new menus. Food: the riz bi halib, ashta ice cream, pistachio ice cream are soooo delicious. As a Syrian-American, I approve!! Also, as a Palestinian-American, I also approve of the knafa

    lotus biscoff
    Angeline N.

    My friends and I were looking for a sweet treat after dinner and saw that there was this! I've always wanted to try Filo Dessert and didn't know there was one in Anaheim, which was such a pleasant surprise. Right as we walked in, the worker greeted us and was constantly checking up on us to see if we were ready to order. We were all super indecisive but she was so patient and offered us samples of the ice creams. There were so many unique flavors to pick from and all the samples were delicious, but I ended up going with the lotus biscoff. It was soo creamy with a perfect cookie flavor that wasn't overly sweet! I only got "one scoop" but it actually ended up being two really large scoops and is definitely enough for 1-2 people. The inside was really home-y with pictures and other decorations on the walls. There were a few tables so we were able to eat and yap! They also had an extensive menu with other desserts, drinks, and more, but we were just looking for something simple since it was late at night. I definitely would come back here or to another location because that ice cream lives rent free in my mind!

    5 stars! One of my factor rice puddings ever! The rice pudding is creamy, topped with Biscoff cream and crumbles. This shop makes all the desserts for both Filo Dessert locations (Anaheim & Orange). The staff is friendly. Space is small so it does have limited seating. All the desserts were scrumptious! I'll definitely be going to this location instead of the Orange shop. Thank you Filo Dessert!

    Mom says, "BEST Kinafah E-V-E-R"

    What started as a quick meat run and a few errands turned into the sweetest detour! Mom was off work and came along for the ride--little did we know we'd stumble on Filo Dessert at a red light! I'd been to their other location with my cousin-Sistra n my sister in law, so I figured, why not stop in? Mom took one bite and lit up! "This is the BEST KINAFAH EVER!" Mom's whole face lit up, totally made her day (and mine!) We had the pleasure of meeting the lovely dynamic duo husband-and-wife team behind Filo. Wifey is the bakery boss, Hubby is the ice cream king! They even brought over a complimentary new dessert they're testing and asked for feedback, love customer facing businesses that are personable like that, totally transforms the experience! Pssstt... Be on the lookout for a crunchy bar like treat with ice cream! Yummyyy.

    nutella ice cream, pistachio ice cream affogato, dubai chocolate
    Sarah T.

    Finally got to try out this middle eastern dessert place at the Orange Circle! We got the nutella ice cream, affogato with pistachio ice cream, and the dubai chocolate. The nutella ice cream was awesome, not too sweet and super creamy. The affogato was also nice with the pistachio ice cream. The workers said that their pistachio was one of their most popular flavors and I could definitely see why. We also got the dubai chocolate because it's super trendy right now. I liked the texture of it but I wasn't able to taste the pistachio and it was a bit too sweet for me. The inside was also a really cute place to hang out. Kinda small, but they have an upstairs area as well.

    Iced hazelnut latte
    Michelle T.

    The iced hazelnut latte was really good but I would probably ask for it to be less sweet next time. I love their ice cream and knafeh. For some reason it was really warm in there when I went. It was like they didn't have the air on. I wanted a hot drink but ended up getting an iced one since it was so hot inside

    Turkish Coffee, super strong!
    Om P.

    This is a new location which opened up aside from the one in Old Towne Orange. Located in a tiny strip plaza with minimal parking in Little Arabia area of Anaheim, the cafe itself is a bit packed with limited seating so please beware of that! I wanted to originally order the Karak Chai, a favorite of mine but it seemed they were out and the barista told me they were unable to make a batch for an unknown reason possibly due to them running out/timing. It seemed they were still learning the ropes as they had just opened up. Regardless, I decided to order a classic Turkish Coffee. Additionally, I wish there was less miscommunication between the barista and myself as I had told her I wanted to dilute the coffee down with milk and cream if possible as Turkish Coffee can be quite concentrated and strong but she just seemed to charge me for two of them which wasn't what I wanted at all. The Turkish Coffee itself was good with flavor but super concentrated and strong. Definitely not my favorite and needed to be more diluted. It's hard to imagine people drink that as is. That said, the cafe is pretty inside with the aesthetics and their desserts looked delicious. Give this new spot a try but definitely do your research in advanced on what to order because everyone's preferences will certainly vary.

    12:15 pm, NOT open....
    cindy f.

    We had dessert rose strawberry, mint lemon ice cream and creamy sahlab in orange store last week. It were not very sweet and we loved it. So we went to the Anaheim store and wanted to buy some ice cream to go. We arrived at 12:15 on Wednesday today. The open light on but the whole store was dark! NOT OPEN at noon!! It is really bad for business....

    Knafeh and booza ice cream
    Mandy D.

    Came upon Filo as we were looking for knafeh after dinner. The owner was really personable and claimed they had the best in town...and he was so right. We love Middle Eastern dessert and this knafeh was perfectly sweet, light and crispy outside, with gooey great texture cheese inside. We got the regular knafeh, a scoop of the mastic booza ice cream, and cup of karak. All delicious. We even sampled a saffron flavor the owner was working on and it was amazing and balanced - hope he sells it in pints because our favorite saffron ice cream is far away and this was on par. They have simple syrup on the table if you like things on the sweeter side. Inside decor was nice and with plenty of seating. Will be back!

    interior - seats for 8 people

    I have a new favorite ice cream shop and that says a LOT because I've been loyal to Salt and Straw for so long. Truly the friendliest service I've ever had. Walked in with my cousins and we're not very familiar with Arabic desserts so we were shy. The employee explained everything so nicely and we felt super comfortable. She gave her suggestions and favorites, explaining how everything is made and where the ingredients were sourced. Filo has Arabic ice cream (booza) and sweets. Their fusion combo includes a sweet and ice cream so it's great you get to try both. Try as many samples as you'd like. Rice pudding (5/5): sweet, creamy, pairs perfectly with ice cream. We did rice pudding and Turkish coffee ice cream. Ice cream flavors we got: Turkish coffee, honey lavender, pistachio, and biscoff. All the ice cream is insanely creamy - not a single ice shard. It's also slightly stretchy - the texture is insane. Employee recommends trying the biscoff last because once people try that one, nothing can compare. I really really liked the slight bitter aftertaste of the coffee ice cream and LOVED the pistachio ice cream. Literally nothing ever compares. I believe they have their own pistachio farm! The ice cream is jam packed with pistachios and they even top with more crushed pistachios on the side. I'm dreaming about the time I get to have this again. On the pricier side but well worth it. The scoops are huge! Roughly 8 seats inside. Tables of two so not great for big groups. Parking is also really limited in the plaza.

    The Dubai Latte iced
    Aryanna H.

    Everything we had was all so very good! I loved the mint lemon ice cream, along with the peach flavor. The lemon one was bright and not overly sweet, while the peach one felt so fresh the texture definitely gave it away. The woman helping us was very kind and worked as fast as she could to get us our order. The store is quiet and very nice inside, there's a few tables to sit at and some counters too. I definitely recommend eating it there instead of taking it to-go just to take a moment and enjoy it fresh. The one thing I'll say is be patient please! When we went there was only one woman running the whole store for a bit so it took a little while for everything but it's worth the wait! We will be coming back soon

    One of my favorite coffee shops. The interior is small with only a few tables but what they serve…read moreis superb. I visited on a weekday afternoon and ordered a Biscoff latte and a lemon bar. I sat at the one available table and savored both items. The Biscoff latte was iced, with just enough ice to make it cold. I appreciate that they didn't overdo the ice like most coffee places. The flavor of cookie butter was vivid, sweet, and delicious. The cream top and crumbles of Biscoff added to the visual appeal. The lemon bar was slightly sweet and citrusy, with a tasty thin outer crust, the top of which was sprinkled with powdered sugar. For me, this was a perfect lemon bar in every way. If I lived anywhere near here, this would be a regular stop.

    First time here and it was a nice, easy stop. I tried the black sesame oat latte and the biscotti…read morelatte. Both were good, just nothing that really stood out just yet. Service was really good. The place inside is cute with a clean, minimal vibe. There are small white tables lined along the wall with a bench and stools and some simple decor and artwork that gives it a cozy feel. It's not very big, but there were still plenty of open tables which was nice. Everything was clean and parking was easy since it's in a shopping center. I'm looking forward to trying more next time. Deff a decent spot if you're in the area and want something simple and low key.

We gave Coffee & a try, the coffee was excellent and provided just the right caffeine boost we needed. I ordered the Cold Brew Latte, which featured New Orleans cold brew concentrate.

Next time, I might opt for less milk or just stick with the cold brew and honey for a bolder taste. My friend chose the Brown Sugar Oat Shaken, a delightful mix of double shot espresso, brown sugar, vanilla syrup, shaken with oat milk (iced only), also priced at $6.80.

Staff wise not really friendly, just engaged with each other and there was no energy or enthusiasm Tried the banana pistachio bread warm up and maple cinnamon cold brew latte Honestly was not impressed.

If you park in the back, be prepared for a bit of a trek as you make your way around all of the buildings that don't have back entrances. Phin Smith is a cozy coffee shop (with free Wi-Fi!!!!) that makes for a great study/work spot. They have a small menu with a nice variety of items, and they do each of them really well. Service is great and everyone that I ran into seemed like they loved working there! There is a bathroom in the back and plenty of comfortable seating for getting work done. Overall, Phin Smith gets a 9/10 from me. No issues, tasty coffee, nice bathroom, and quick Wi-Fi!

    I had a huge "yikes" moment when I tasted my drink, because I know they'll modify your drink if you…read moredon't like it... but my issue was that I didn't like the entire thing, so I didn't want to say anything. I thought the whole thing was gross. NorCal's Phin Cafe is way better, along with the other Vietnamese egg/ube/pandan/etc coffee places that have been hype on social media lately (Phin Smith does not have some of these flavors - they're behind!). - Coconut Coffee The marbling is kind of cute, but the flavor is not potent or good enough. We've had plenty of coconut coffees pop up in NorCal and Phin Smith's coffee was meh. It was just missing creaminess, sweetness, coconut flavor, wasn't too strong on the coffee, and had a little extra water/crushed ice dilution. If rating this itself, it'd be average to below average. We had to add their self-serve simple syrup to make it taste better. We usually don't need to add anything when ordering at various places in NorCal because they actually get it right. - Peach Breeze Disgusting, one of the worst beverages that I've ever consumed in my life. It literally just tasted like someone opened canned peaches and added water to it. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. I also asked for half ice and a majority of the thing was still large ice cubes. I don't drink coffee, but I'm not sure if I would have liked their other drinks on the menu considering their best selling coffee was barely satisfactory. Other than the subpar drinks, the inside had some sticky spots and could use some cleaning with actual cleaning product. Lots of people seemed to be enjoying themselves on their laptop, and I saw a few people buy their coffee bags. I liked how there was a cute motorbike outside and on the logo. I'll also add an extra star for having reasonable prices, so I didn't feel scammed after drinking this horrible concoction.
