    Basterma
    Lindy K.

    Got the Basterma, which made for a nice lunch. The bread had a pleasant doughiness often found in fresh Flatbread. The meat was tender and complemented the arugula. The standout was the complimentary chai, which I ended up buying. It wasn't too sweet, and even on a hot day, I wanted more of it! Highly recommend. The cafe makes for a great study spot. I'd read/work here.

    Pistachio Honey Labane
    Chris P.

    We found Habibi's Cafe through TikTok, and after seeing all the photos and hearing good things through word of mouth, we decided to check it out. I've also been wanting to explore more local café spots, and this ended up being a very solid find. The zaatar cheese manakish was easily one of the highlights. It was warm and cheesy without being overly oily, while the zaatar added a crisp, earthy flavor that balanced everything really well. The basterma manakish was good, but it was probably my least favorite of what we ordered. There was nothing necessarily wrong with it, but it did not stand out as much as the other items. Still, anyone who already prefers basterma would probably enjoy it. The pistachio honey labneh was also really good. The labneh itself was clearly well made, and the pistachio paired beautifully with it. However, I felt that those two flavors overpowered the honey, so the honey did not add anything particularly noticeable. I think hot honey would have made the dish more interesting by adding some contrast and bringing all the flavors together. The zaatar grilled cheese was another great choice. Overall, the manakish here is excellent and seems to be one of the café's strongest offerings. We also ordered matcha and a few other drinks, which rounded out the meal nicely. The café is spacious, with seating in the front, an outdoor area in the back, and around four or five indoor tables. The staff was friendly, helpful, and especially good at explaining the menu. For anyone unfamiliar with Lebanese or Middle Eastern flavors, they make it easy to understand the different ingredients and decide what to order.

    Habibi House Latte & Toasted Butter Date Latte
    Jessica G.

    A cute coffee shop right across the street from CSUF! They have a great variety of beverages, food, and pastries to choose from. Since it was our first time visiting, we asked the cashier for the most popular drink recommendations and decided to try the Habibi House Latte and the Toasted Butter Date Latte. It wasn't busy when we went, and our drinks were made fairly quickly. The decor and ambiance were really cool, with a unique aesthetic that stood out from other coffee shops. Both drinks were delicious, and I would definitely come back to try more drinks and a pastry next time!

    I have a new goal. Try as many MENA (Middle Eastern North African) cafe shops. This is my second spot Walking in you're greeted with friendly staff and they offer you a sample of their famous Karak tea. That was a big hit for my mom. She ended up ordering a hot karak tea. I got a basterma panini sandwich and it slapped! I grew up with basterma so for me to find a cafe that offers it, I had to get it. I feel like I'm back home with the Arabic music that they play. They have merch too. I got the iced Toasted Butter Date Latte. It wasn't too sweet which is perfect for me. My favorite part of the latte to be honest was the sesame seeds on top of the butter toffee cold foam.

    Vanilla fig matcha
    Isaac Z.

    Tried Habibi's for the first time and ordered a vanilla fig matcha ($8). Definitely a more unique matcha, I thought it had a sweet vanilla taste and the matcha paired nicely with the fig. It was on the sweeter end, so I'd ask for less sweet next time, and the inside had some seating available. The only downside is I'm not sure it's worth paying 8 dollars for a matcha when there are plenty of other yummy matcha spots in OC with drinks that cost less than 8 dollars, and it would be worth the price if the cup was bigger. Other than that I thought the service was good and I didn't have to wait too long for my drink :)

    Toasted Butter Date Latte

    What an amazing spot with customer service to match! Drinks and food is delicious The ambiance is is unmatched also great to get some work done on your laptop

    Super nice spot if you're looking for brunch, a friend catch-up or even to get some work done. 1 restroom and plenty of free parking. -strawberry pistachio latte : really liked the strong pistachio flavor and espresso -fig vanilla matcha latte: vanilla cream top is phenomenal. Fig flavor did sink to the bottom so you do need to mix the bottom portion a bit- a subtle flavor that goes well with the strong matcha -chipotle chicken melt : amazing with the side chipotle sauce. This gave me casual with an elevated presentation on an aesthetic board. You can get this with panini bread or a wrap. -zaatar cheese flatbread : good Arabic flavor spices. Delicious and I liked eating this with the side pickles from the chipotle chicken melt Only have oat milk as alternative milk. They also have amazing desserts. Have to come to try them.

    Habibi's has become me and my boyfriend's go-to cafe whenever we want quality coffee, pastries, sandwiches, or flatbreads. Everything we've tried has been good, and I love their minimalistic aesthetic -- it's such a vibe. The staff is always so nice too! One time, they recognized us and gave us a free cookie, which was so sweet. I also got their cute tote bag because I'm clearly obsessed lol. I've been coming here a lot since I live about 10 minutes away, and it's definitely one of those spots I keep going back to.

    Butter pecan coffee, basterma flatbread
    Gabriel B.

    Quaint little coffee shop nearby Cal State Fullerton. It took me around ten minutes to receive my coffee and flatbread, and I was able to find seating despite the busy flow that day The butter pecan latte was sweet and enjoyable, and the flatbread was fresh, but light enough to satiate without being overfilling.

    Came here to try some food but ended up only having the latte. It was delicious. Ill be back to try some more food and drink items.

    I had a great time the staff were friendly and very helpful they were fast . I was disappointed that they only had small cups for an expensive price.

    mango vanilla matcha with oat milk
    Bethzy R.

    my #1 matcha place of all time. It genuinely is so so good and deserves all the hype. I have tried many matchas but nothing has beaten this one so far. All their purees and cold foams are made there and taste so yummy and not artificial what's so ever. The matcha is rich and it's just such a nice blend between the cold foam and mango puree and it doesn't take away from that matcha flavor. The matcha is about $9-10 so it's a bit on the pricier side but I'd pay for this every time. The service is awesome, everyone is super sweet and I've had good conversations with the people here. There is limited seating but it's super clean and I love to sit here and do some work.

    On Friday evening my daughter and I were waiting for food from another restaurant and came to check this place out. We ordered the lava cake to go. Warmed it up at home in my toaster oven at 325 for 6 mins and it was SO GOOOD OMG. Chai is flavorful, traditional. My daughter liked it. The service was great. Noor and Saad were so sweet. We went yesterday morning to get some drinks. We tried the strawberry matcha and mango matcha. My daughter loved the mango matcha. The strawberry matcha was good too, reminded me of a nestle strawberry taste. The ambiance is very cute. Seems like everyone is happy to work there. They are kind and smiley :)

    I love a good sandwich, and I love making my own sandwiches, so it takes a lot for me to be…read moresurprised by a sandwich spot. Upon entering, you see the minimalistic menus of sandwiches and drinks. (There are also small paper menus available but the aesthetic is a treat!) it's a small spot, but it exudes personality and a homey vibe. It's like a pub setting you see in Shaun of the Dead but much more comfortable and low key. The servers were very friendly and attentive to our table. I tried the French Dip and the BLT. Both were delicious and packed with meat. One thing about Windsor Brown's is they DO NOT skimp on the meats! Huge points! I executed a beautiful cheese pull upon my first bite, but could not capture it on picture because I ate too fast! So you'll just have to take my word for it. My family also enjoyed their sandwiches. They tried the Devil Made Me Do It and another sandwich with ghost peppers. We all left with our bellies full and our spirits high! 5/5 WILL return next time I'm in town.

What made the stop even better was the service behind the bar. The employee taking our order and serving the sandwich was genuinely pleasant, attentive, and accommodating, offering great recommendations that made choosing easy and the experience even smoother. The sourdough was exactly how it should be: fresh, crisp, lightly toasted and sturdy enough to hold everything together. Inside, Calabrian deviled egg salad met a perfectly jammy egg, spicy mayo and peppers for a creamy, tangy kick with just the right amount of heat. Messy? A little. Worth it? Absolutely. This was a lip-smacking, reach-for-another-bite kind of sandwich. We didn't have time to dive into the beer selection, but there were plenty of tempting options. With its business-district location, this would be an easy stop after work for a cold brew and a seriously good sandwich. Quick stop. Great service. Killer sandwich. The Devil Made Me do it.
