Met up with my sisters at Chaupain for brunch today…read more We had several French onions soup (it's a meal itself), a quiche, a burger, a tuna sandwich, and an omelet for my husband.

You order and you're pretty much on your own thereafter.

Old-School Charm, Excellent Music, and Properly Hot Coffee -- 5/5…read more Tuesday, 9/8/26 -- 11:30 AM Sana'a Cafe -- Lake Forest, CA Sana'a Cafe feels noticeably more old-school than some of the newer Yemeni coffee houses I've visited. The interior and furnishings are a little worn and could use some refreshing, but the place still has a comfortable, lived-in character. The facade is odd: basically a big brown wall with the Sana'a Cafe sign floating above an otherwise understated entrance. The entrance itself is decent, though, and at 11:30 on a Tuesday there was no crowd, which made the visit quiet and relaxed. I ordered two savory items from the display. The first was the chicken musakhan -- مسخّن الدجاج (musakhan al-dajaj), served here as a long rolled pastry. The seasoning and filling were enjoyable, but the chicken itself was too dry for me. 3.5/5. The stronger dish was the spinach-and-cheese fatayer -- فطاير السبانخ والجبنة (fatayer al-sabanikh wal-jubna). Nicely baked, savory, balanced and satisfying without feeling too heavy. 4.5/5. Of the two, this is the one I would immediately order again. My coffee was the Sana'ani -- قهوة صنعانية, served black, strong, medium-bodied and, most importantly, piping hot. This is where my objectivity begins to collapse. I have developed something close to an addiction to very hot, strong Yemeni coffee, and this hit exactly the way I wanted it to. No lukewarm compromise. Just a properly hot cup that stayed enjoyable from beginning to end. Service was superb. The woman helping me was somewhat modest and reserved in demeanor, but attentive, gracious and extremely pleasant throughout the visit. She also had remarkably striking, intense eyes and a warm presence that made the service especially memorable without ever feeling overbearing. شكراً -- shukran for the excellent hospitality. The music was another major positive. Whoever controls the soundtrack here has excellent taste. During my visit I heard classic Arabic music including Tony Hanna's "Men Sharadli Ghazala," Hoda Haddad's "Ouyounak Elssoud," and Aida El Ayoubi's beautiful "Ala Baly." The selections wandered beyond Yemen into Lebanon and Egypt, but the effect was tasteful rather than random -- a warm, broader Arab-world soundtrack that fit the room beautifully. Sana'a Cafe may not have the polished, newer aesthetic of some other Yemeni coffee houses, but it has its own charm. Good pastries, excellent coffee, superb service and a genuinely great soundtrack more than make up for a space that is showing its age. 5/5. The coffee pushed it over the line.

It was a good portion size but we weren't expecting the large slices of mango since the pictures showed chopped mangos. It made it a little more difficult to eat in the individual cups but NBD especially since the mangos were perfectly ripe. We definitely want to come back and try the other options and hope they expand the menu in the future. Space was open and bright with abundant seating and large tables. Definitely able to handle large groups.

Unfortunately, the customer service does not match the quality of the coffee. After receiving an incorrect mobile order, we simply brought it to the owner's attention on our next visit. Rather than acknowledging the mistake or showing any concern, we were met with a dismissive and condescending response. Multiple owners were present, and no one made any effort to address the situation. Mistakes happen. We weren't looking for anything unreasonable. A simple acknowledgment and basic customer appreciation would have gone a long way. There are plenty of great local coffee shops that serve excellent coffee while also providing warm, appreciative customer service. Good coffee may bring customers in, but how you treat them is what keeps them coming back. Unfortunately, after being loyal customers here, we won't be returning.

First time trying this place. I think I saw them on Instagram, which is what led me here. I placed…read morean order the day ahead, which was helpful. The ordering process was pretty simple overall except you need to find the actual location that you wanna order from to start. And then it list all the flavors although at one point, I did see a flavor that was listed. I think it was blackberry And it was only listed in one option, but not of the other options. I thought I would mention it in case somebody needs to reprogram. Anyway, I ordered the mini jar pack, which was perfect for a family get together and there was 11 people and this came with 12. I basically got all the flavors except I upped the tiramisu and the strawberry lemon cheesecake. Everybody raved about it. They were delicious and the perfect size. They are handcrafted. So if you do walk in, you might need to maybe wait a few minutes cause it seems like they're all made fresh as you order. I had the red velvet cheesecake which was delicious. I thought it was a perfect combination of the custard and cake and toppings, etc.. I would probably order this again for a large group. I think the minis were a perfect size in my opinion, I would definitely want to try a larger version and see how that goes just for myself. Customerservice was very nice. She was helpful and told me my order would be out in just a minute or so. It's my fault, but I should've asked on how to store these. I did not see any instructions and yes, I would assume you would go to your destination and put them in the refrigerator or I'm not sure if you would need to take them out of a certain time that might be helpful to know. Anyway, overall very good experience. Parking out front. Good clean, looking store.

Stopped in for lunch and left with way more than I planned on buying (as usual with good bakeries)…read more Got the turkey croissant sandwich, which was solid -- the croissant itself was flaky and clearly baked in-house. We also ordered a simple ham and cheese omelette, served with a side of their sliced baguette -- again assuming was fresh baked, because it was delicious. Simple dish, done right, which honestly says a lot about a kitchen. But the danishes stole the show. We grabbed a few to try, and the blueberry one was outstanding -- like, stopped-mid-conversation-to-comment-on-it good. Not overly sweet, good fruit-to-pastry ratio, perfect texture. Ariana helped us and was an absolute sweetheart -- even let us sample a pastry we were debating on before we committed. That kind of thing goes a long way, especially when you're trying to decide between six things that all look amazing in the case. Atmosphere was great too, comfortable spot to sit and eat instead of just grab-and-go. Will definitely be back to work through the rest of the pastry case. 10/10. Photos didn't make the cut unfortunately, next time!

I also bought a couple more pastries and they were just as good. I'll definitely be coming back. Not to be cheesy, but if I could give this place six stars, I absolutely would. Highly recommend!

"Honey, I want a chocolate chip cookie."…read more That's essentially how a half dozen cookies and some strawberry milk arrived at my doorstep one evening. I'm not pregnant but I had cookie craving like a pregnant woman! The cookies were soooo good. I liked them better than Crumbl (who make theirs too gooey, and loaded with sugar). These were sweet and tasty but not to the point where they were SO sweet they hurt my teeth. They also have some milk (duh) that comes in amazing little glass bottles. Somehow we ended up ordering strawberry and banana milk. I think I'll put myself - not my husband - in charge of the ordering next time so we can end up with some chocolate milk! 2026: 59/100
