love this coffee shop to chill and especially to work at! plenty of tables and seating, charging outlets, free wifi, and a bathroom are all available, plus it's open late. service is super friendly - they make you feel completely at home here. they also have a tv and play sports games sometimes so you could come hang and watch a game there! they seem to serve a huge variety of drinks, including traditional middle eastern tea or coffee as well as specialty espresso and matcha beverages with lots of flavor options. they also serve sweets like baklava, cheesecakes, and milk cakes, in addition to savory bites like meat/cheese pies. i like that they kind of have something for every craving! i was super impressed by their drinks and food. as someone who is picky about iced lattes, their iced latte ratio is on point. i only tried the coffee so i can't speak to the matcha, but my friend and i really enjoyed the spanish latte and the date latte. they have a large selection of milks including soy, which is always nice. for food, we got their spicy chicken pie. the dough was really fresh & soft with a slight chew and the chicken was so flavorful (and honestly pretty spicy). overall i have nothing bad to say about this place! i think it's an awesome place to get work done or chill with friends. i'll probably be back at some point to try their sweet pastries and assortment of other drinks. read more

My friend recommended this cafe in the Mission and we decided to give it a try. They have a large menu of drinks, pastries, cakes, sandwiches, and baked goods. I ordered the Iced Finjan Latte and Pistachio Baklava. I got my caffeine fix from the latte and enjoyed the flavor as well. The Pistachio Baklava also made for a sweet breakfast. If you're looking for something even more sweet, get the Pistachio Milk Cake, which made for a yummy treat. read more

Loved my time at Finjan Qahwa. I was getting my oil changed down the street and needed something to pass the time, but I will most definitely be coming back. The atmosphere is warm and bright. The barista was extremely nice and helpful. I got a medium-sized matcha, it was delicious! Silky, earth and refreshing. Housing a plethora of Middle Eastern beverages and light bites, Finjan Qahwa is the perfect place for an inviting, casual beverage/dining experience. read more

First time here. Step inside! It's very bright and cheery inside -- which isn't fully apparent from the street. Big choice of pastries -- mostly sweet -- but also chicken, za'atar, and cheese. Dizzying choice of coffees and teas. I played safe with the Adeni chai and look forward to comparing the Arabic and Turkish coffee options. Popular with UPS drivers. And with laptop users. read more

I had not strolled on this stretch of Mission in a while, so I was pleasantly surprised to see someone had taken over the space that Tierra Mia used to own. In a prime location where Valencia meets Mission is a new Arabic cafe that serves authentic Yemeni and Turkish coffee and pastries. There were ornate decorative touches (Photo 8) and resplendent displays of exotic delicacies. The combined effect evoked aura of a Middle Eastern market bazaar. It reminded me of my long ago travels to Jamaa El-Fna in Marrakesh and the Spice Market in Istanbul. That's quite a feat for a Bernal Heights bakery cafe. Because I had not planned on having a mid-afternoon snack. I ordered modestly with the intention of coming back when I had more calories. I had the $4.95 Cold Brew (Iced Coffee), which the server mixed with just the right amount of milk and sugar (Photo 9). It was just the refresher I needed. I knew I had to have at least the taste of something sweet, and the first thing that caught my eye was the $1.99 Chocolate Baklava (Photo 10). That was the perfect mouthful of sweet indulgence. So many of the other desserts looked as alluring - the Pistachio Dream Cake (Photo 5), the Lemon Cheesecake (Photo 6), the Dubai Cake, the Kataifi. I'll have to increase my cardio exercise exponentially to justify such tasty-looking decadence. COFFEE / DESSERT - 5 stars...reminded me of satisfying Middle Eastern travels from my past AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...evocative, community-focused SERVICE - 4.5 stars...quietly effective TOTAL - 5 stars...nice new addition to Bernal Heights with a touch of the exotic RELATED - Exploring Bernal Heights?

I saw that this new bakery and coffee shop just opened so I stopped in here on the way home from work. The coffee shop is super spacious so it's perfect if you want to hang out or do a little work. They have multiple display cases of pastries, baklava, and cakes. It's was so hard to just choose two items to take home. I definitely will be back to try more. I ended up getting the pistachio milk cake. The cake is super moist and flavorful. It wasn't super sweet. And the pistachio was perfect on it. The Dubai chocolate cake was something I've never had before. It was chocolate cake with a pistachio coconut flake filling and topped with hard chocolate on top. The flavor was really good. But since I'm not a fan of dried coconut I preferred the milk cake. Just preference. I loved this place and I definitely will be back to try their baklavas, other cakes, and drinks. The people there were really nice. They carefully packaged all my cake slices for me. read more

Finjan Qahwa - Iced Pistachio Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

An absolute gem of a spot! I recently visited on a short business trip out here in San Francisco and wanted to try some of the local pastry/coffee shops. The ambience at Finjan Qahwa was super chill and quaint. The gentleman behind the counter showed me all the cool machines they use to roast the coffee beans and explained to me all the sciences that they take into consideration, and I was extremely impressed. I ordered a pistachio latte and this is the best one I've ever had at any of the coffee spots I've hit up along my many years of travel. I look forward to my next trip out west just so I can swing by again. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since it recently opened. It's in the former Tierra Mia space (RIP). And if you are as old and as local as I am, this used to be the taco bell in front of the BK. I got done with my run and just went for it. Got the go-to, iced latte with oat. And since they have a very nice looking pasty cooler, I tried the nutella cheesecake (so much for my run). The staff is friendly and service was fast. The menu has several specialty items, which I have tried at other places and have been pleased. Also, the menu is pretty extensive. A little bit spendy but the coffe is good and strong! What else do you want? read more

Stumbled on this cafe when looking for some caffeine to start my day and I'm so glad I found this spot! I love Turkish delights and Turkish pastries in general so this place is a gem for me. They have such a wide variety of drink items as well as savory and sweet items. I'm obsessed with pistachio flavored things so you already know I had to get pistachio everything here! They even have the viral pistachio chocolate flavored things here! The cafe is clean and there are a good amount of seating areas. It's a super chill vibe so you can definitely get some work done here on your computer etc. Service was quick and staff was friendly :) Definitely recommend stoping by for some tasty treats! read more

Finjan Qahwa - Finjan Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was ordering to-go from my favorite pupusa restaurant los panchos and was looking up coffee shops so I could get a latte for my hour long drive home. Finjan Qahwa was about a Block from where I was so I decided to go there since I love supporting small businesses. As soon as I crossed the intersection I could smell the espresso machine doing its thangggggg!! When I got inside I was even more excited for the huge offerings of sweet treats like cakes, pastries, and muffins. There were also savory options which were different types of meat pies & cheese pies in a homemade dough, and an assortment of bagels. I asked which desserts were favorites and the staff was quick to explain the favorites and specialties that I was eyeing in the case. I ordered a hot horchata latte that was rich, creamy, and steamed to perfection the cinnamon was very spicy and delicious. For the dessert options I ordered the baklava cheesecake and pistachio crème cake which I could not decide between so I just got both... YOLO!! Overall a great experience and would definitely return when in the area. read more

Friendly service with Middle Eastern inspired coffee and snacks. Popped in for the Finjan Latte (Spiced Latte with Cinnamon & Cardamom), iced. While I was waiting I saw the Burma (pistachio wrapped in shreddy, nesty, dough (tastes similar to Baklava). Would have totally stayed as they had a fantastic cafe vibe, but needed to continue errands (next time). I great local option for when you need a caffeine fix. read more

Partner and I were in the neighborhood waiting for a pick-up order and had time to kill, and the wind was chilly so when we walked past this place on Mission St, decided to head in. I'd never heard of Finjan coffee before, I've only been to one Arabic coffee shop in Oakland once and I didn't really get to enjoy it due to time constraints. I was very excited to see the offerings this place has- the menu for coffee, tea, drinks, and pastries is plentiful! I ordered a rose latte, partner got the Finjan latte, iced. We also got a beef pie to share. First off, presentation- my latte was in a clear glass mug with foam art, my partner's coffee in a to-go cup because that's the only way they can currently serve a Large (20oz). I was not expecting this, and though I ordered a "Medium", my latte was plenty! The beef pie came on a paper plate, but this didn't matter to me- it was a little greasy so the plate soaked some of that up. They sliced it into sections so it could easily be shared- and boy it was tasty! I was worried that the bread would be heavy and the meat would be little- I was pleasantly surprised that the pastry shell, while a nice thickness, was still light, with the perfect proportions of meat filling. It was plenty flavorful, without being too overwhelming. A perfect savory snack. My latte was delicious- not too sweet, creamy, very well made. Partner said that his Finjan coffee started off with a nice sweetness, then upon stirring it a bit got a kick of the spices which balanced it all out. I will say the drinks are on the pricier side here, but the quality is excellent- I do not mind spending more for a well-made drink, especially if it supports a small business like this. The atmosphere is very casual, they have Arabic music playing, a mural on one corner, large pictures detailing what they offer and why it's the best. The staff are incredibly kind and friendly, answer any questions you have about the menu, especially if you're not familiar with this type of cuisine. We felt very welcome and comfortable here. Also, they're open late everyday?! Find me another coffee shop in SF open til 10pm, bc I don't think I've seen one anywhere except in San Jose! I'm very excited that we have an Arabic coffee shop around, it's not something I've come across besides the one in Oakland, so it's great that we have this in the city! I immediately texted my mother-in-law about this place, in the hopes that we can come another time when we don't have somewhere to be at a specific time. I really would enjoy just being here. Happy that I found Finjan Qahwa, and I hope they stick around for a very long time!!! read more

Stumbled upon this new café on Mission St and I'm so glad I did! They opened earlier this year and are already doing everything right. I tried the Horchata Latte and the Finjan Latte--both were excellent and highly recommended. I also had a warmed-up beef pie that was so good I'm still craving it. The staff was super friendly, service was quick, and the quality of everything was top-notch. I loved that the beans are ground fresh right in front of you. The vibe is perfect--quiet enough to get some work or studying done, but with just enough background noise that you're not stuck hearing someone chew next to you. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

I stopped here during a visit to San Francisco because the Dubai Chocolate cake and the chocolate baklava looked intriguing and I wanted to try some.

Try all the pastries there!! read more

I am SO excited that this place opened up in the neighborhood. I saw their grand opening sign and balloons yesterday and decided to check it out and I'm really glad I did. The staff there are very welcoming and you can tell they are excited about this new venture. The space itself is a good size with plenty of seating, and they had a lot of choices in terms of different types of lattes, chai and other drinks. They have various pastries such as a few types of baklava, a few varieties of milk cake and cheese cakes to name a few plus a delicious looking pistachio cake. Their staff they are gonna be adding more deli-style sandwiches to the menu and there are even more treats than what they had today. I wish I took more pictures but they are definitely not your average cafe treats in SF so HUGE plus. As an Iranian Armenian, I am so excited to have a place nearby with fresh baklava!! I had a pistachio oat milk latte and my girlfriend had an rose oat milk latte--both very tasty. The baklava was fresh and full of pistachios and the textures were spot on. I'm not usually a cheesecake person but the lotus cheesecake looked amazing and I'm not kidding when I saw this is the best cheesecake I've ever had. It's light and airy while still tasting rich and they gave me a huge piece so I can't wait to finish it later. The picture below was after many bites and I couldn't stop myself before taking the photo lol neither could we wait for the baklava. Glad to see how many people strolled in to check out the place while we were there. For folks who are curious about the Dubai chocolate all over social media, you can try the bars they have there and they said they also have a Dubai chocolate cake which I'm sure would be tasty. Overall, can't wait to come back and try more of their offerings! read more

The desserts looked so good, but were too sweet. Otherwise, clean, good service. Spartan.

Popped in last night after dinner with some friends (we wanted some dessert), and... wow! I had the pistachio dream cake, after asking the guy behind the counter whether I should order that or the pistachio cheesecake (which I'll probably try next time). Friends ordered some chai and a few types of baklava. Everything was delicious, and the staff we interacted with was friendly and helpful! I'd definitely come back. One suggestion: the place is too bright. Dim the lighting a bit, and for bonus points, swap out the harsh cool bulbs with something warmer. read more

Financially had become my go to spot for my caffeine fix. Not only do they make drinks way better then the commercial chains, the staff is really friendly as well. The ambiance takes me back to my vacation days in the Middle East and really gives that extra special feeling when you have your cup of coffee. I tried a few things on the menu now and never seems to disappoint. The dessert...all I have to say is it is as close as your going to get to eating these sweets without going to the Middle East. read more

I'm not sure why the reviews are so high but the food and drinks suck. I got the Pistachio Latte which was way too sweet.......I threw that out. I ordered these disgusting beef and chicken pastries which were dry, hard, and cold. Threw all of them out. The service sucked. I ordered online and the guy didn't even realize there was an online order. The honey pastry with cream cheese was stale and gross.
