Amazing knafeh and baklava!! My boyfriend and I were early for an appointment and came by on a whim for something sweet. I asked who I thought was the owner of the cafe for a recommendation because honestly everything looked good. He recommended the knafeh and we got the soft and crispy type. The baklava also looked incredible so we got the pistachio baklava. The crispy and soft knafeh were both exactly how you'd think they'd be-warm, subtly sweet, with the crispy being crispy and the soft being soft. Sweetness level was about 3/10. The baklava were flaky and decadent with sweetness at about 6-7/10. The cafe has seating outside and a counter with chairs to sit at. Definitely worth a visit the next time you're in the area! read more

I like to try new coffee shops on Sundays and unexpectedly found Knafeh Cafe today. I didn't get to step inside because I had my dog with me, but my partner went in to order my Dubai strawberry latte (half sweet) and picked out a few pastries. The young man who took his order was very polite and made great recommendations based on his favorite flavors. Everything was delicious: texture was amazing, VERY fragrant, and not too sweet. Although, It might've been too sweet if I didn't order the drink half sweet. I'm not sure how much everything cost because i didn't pay for it but i assume it's expensive as they use real, quality ingredients. My latte tastes pricey, probably $8 My photos don't do the items justice. I'm most excited to come back for another latte and their rice pudding (it tastes like roses!). read more

my boyfriend was homesick and craving knafeh, and this place was so good it made him emotional :') we each had a crispy knafeh slice, and they kindly offered to heat it up for us. it tasted exactly like what you'd get in the middle east, and my boyfriend said "that was copy paste of what i get back home" -- the highest compliment! we initially came to try the same qatayef, but they were sold out, so we'll definitely be back. can't wait to try more of the menu! read more

The place is cute and small. To be honest, we just got one piece knafeee just to try it and it wasn't good at all. It was hard to cut it. But you be the judge. Service was good. read more

Asem, thank you so much for making my very first knafeh experience such a memorable one. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such a genuine smile and immediately felt welcomed. You can tell this isn't just something you make--it's something you truly care about. The knafeh was absolutely delicious. You could taste how fresh and authentic it was, and every flavor really came through. It was sweet, warm, rich, and made with so much care. I had heard about knafeh before, but experiencing it handmade like this made it so much more special. What stood out just as much as the food was your kindness and hospitality. It's always special to support a small business, but even more so when you can see the heart and passion behind it. I'm genuinely grateful we found you and got to experience something made with so much love and tradition. I truly hope more people discover your business because you deserve all the support and success that comes your way. We will definitely be back, and I'll happily recommend your knafeh to anyone looking for something authentic, delicious, and made by someone who truly cares. Thank you again, Asem! read more

Regular knafeh. The cheese pull alone is worth the drive from LA. Walnut baklavah. Just trust me. Enjoy!!

Visited Knafeh Cafe for the first time over the weekend and it was delicious! The knafeh was incredible as was the halawet. I also ordered a pistachio latte and that one was just ok however I would definitely go back just for the dessert and try other items. And the cherry on top was that they are Palestinian owned so definitely go support this business right now! read more

Delicious Knafeh! We got a recommendation for some sweet desserts here, so my friends and I made sure to stop by when we were in the area, especially since it's not often that we get to go eat middle eastern desserts. There's decent parking in the plaza and the shop it self has a small singular table and seats and a small counter where you can stand and dine. There was a party seated there before, a couple customers, and a lady making a catering pick up order when we got there, but service was efficient and super friendly and informative. They have packaged tea and knafeh and other imported goods that you can purchase, as well as all of their made in house goods behind the glass. The young gentlemen working were really upbeat and looked like they enjoyed what they did, giving us tips on how to eat some of the dessert that we ordered and giving his thoughts on his favs as well. We got the: 1) Knafeh Slice: -This is their original crispy version, since they have the softer version available as well. -Delicious dessert that has a great textural mix of the crispy buttery shredded dough on top and the gooey cheese at the bottom. It's already sweetened by their homemade simple syrup, but there's a bottle at the cashier if you would like to add extra. -Love the different flavors and textures for this and I can probably eat a 1/3 of a tray if left to my own ways. 2) Hareesh: -This was the dessert recommended by the worker. -He said they only made 2 trays a day and he can eat it nonstop. -None of us have tried this dessert before, so we got a slice of this as well. -It comes with nuts and is a moist semolina cake drenched in honey and homemade syrup, topped with some crunchy nuts. -Reminds me a moist super sweet honey cake. Perfect for those with a sweet tooth, crumbles easily. Would go great with a glass of milk to be honest. 3) Dubai Chocolate Knafeh: -As the fancy trend is hitting for the Dubai, you just gotta. -It's similar to their crispy knafeh, but without the simple syrup on top there's chocolate, pistachio, and a pistachio layer within the shredded dough as well. -Not bad, but again, cannot beat the original. Delicious. all 3 of us loved their standard knafeh the most and would definitely order it again as well as try more of their menu. read more

The young man at the counter was very polite and the ambience is very nice. It was my first time trying knafeh. I was delicious. My family loved it. read more

If you're a lover of Knafeh, this might just be the place you will find some of the best and freshest ones. They have a bunch of different varieties of Knafeh and Baklava here if you like variety. I love the traditional crispy Knafeh that just has that perfect contrast of crunch and chew from the cheese in the middle. I also tried their Mhalaya which was a pudding like dessert similar to a Panna Cotta which was very pleasant to have. Great thing about this place is that they also have good drinks and I love a nice Karak Tea to go with almost any dessert. Come here for the Knafeh, there's not much of a seating area and it's not a place I would dedicate to sit down and enjoy but you can get slices of Knafeh or order a whole tray to take home. read more

Just drove 45 minutes for the best Knafeh I have had since Dearborn, Michigan. The service was excellent and the prices are exceptional. Approximately $7.50 per piece and they are on the larger size--so great value for the quality for sure. For the Knafeh, there is a soft and crispy option, I personally enjoyed the crispy one much more. I really appreciated the extra syrup drizzle on the side to add more to my liking. The shop has a few seats inside and a few tables outside to enjoy your delectable sweets. The Turkish coffee was crazy good too! As thick and muddy as it is (and should be!) it had a really light buttery taste. Everything was an absolute delight!! 100/10 recommendation! read more

I love this place. All the knafeh is so good!! The crispy knafeh is my favorite. But I enjoy coming back and trying all the other ones they make. Recently tried their Nutella knafeh and it's delicious! Maybe just a little too sweet, but the crunchiness of it is so satisfying. read more

Um wow! They have tons of goodies here. Palestinian run place. Very friendly and respectful service. They've got different kinds of baklavas (that don't look drenched in syrup like other places), different types of knafehs, milk pudding, and more. The three I've listed are what caught my eye. Can't wait to devour these! read more

I finally got to try Knafeh Café, and I was not disappointed. I placed my order ahead of time, and they made it fresh on the spot--exactly how knafeh should be. I've tried multiple places for knafeh, and this is easily one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly made, delicious, and so good that I went back and got another one the very next day! The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the shop itself is clean and inviting. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Anaheim. I highly recommend giving them a try--you won't regret it! read more

I really wanted to like this place but off the bat I could see the kids taking care of customers were misunderstanding orders and not getting them right. Then I got two orders of knafeh to go and they didn't even give us the syrup!! I had to go back to ask for it and the kids said you have to ask for it! What? That's what makes the dessert it should be included!! Then as I was eating the dessert I had a hair in the middle of the dessert!! Gross!! Sorry but don't go!! There are other places in the area to get a better knafeh. read more

Can't go wrong with their high quality, hand made but delicate desserts! Try one of each flavor and eat the knafe quick while fillings are melty. It's decadent but good with tea! read more

I've had this place bookmarked for awhile and finally got a chance to visit! Small little place tucked away in a plaza with decent parking. Looked like it was family owned, they had lots of options displayed. Definitely seems to be a local favorite - people were in front enjoying coffee with their slices. I tried the cheese and pistachio! Really liked the crunch and sweet savory combo. Pro tip to ask for the syrup on the side! read more

I have had Knafeh cafe in my bookmark for a while. Last weekend, I was in Anaheim  and I finally visited the place. We found a parking spot easily.  They have a wide variety of kenafeh, Baklava, cold desserts, and drinks. The young man who helped us, was very friendly and helpful. I ordered these desserts to go; -Kenafeh Slices.   5/5 Creamy kenafeh cheese,  layered with generous buttery shredded phyllo dough, then creamy sweet cheese at the bottom, finally  topped with chopped pistachios and light syrup. It was absolutely delicious and flavorful. Hareeseh with Pistachios  5/5 It is a moist semolina cake drenched in honey and homemade syrup, topped with generous layers of fresh pistachios. It was such a delightful dessert. I fell in love with this dessert! The piece was huge, so I divided it in little squares. I highly recommend Knafeh cafe.They have various selection of Mediterranean desserts, and excellent customer service. For sure I will be back soon. read more

very kind staff and the knafeh is the best! the cheese pull itself was the best and really fresh

The crunchy knafeh was absolutely delicious! The soft was also good but I prefer the crunchy one. Excellent customer service. Place was clean I will definitely be back even if I live 30 minutes away. Totally worth it read more

In terms of service, we came in a few minutes before closing but they generously didn't turn us away and still served us a to go order. This was our first time trying knafeh and overall enjoyed it! I think because it was the end of night, it obviously wasn't fresh, so I'm curious to try it again a different time. It's a relatively small shop but is clean and has relaxed vibes read more

I've since come here twice. The staff are great. One server advised me on warming the knafeh for thirty seconds in the microwave to enjoy it warm. It was here that I was also able to pick up some knafeh for some close friends from college, one of whom admitted he was intending to try knafeh after seeing it on social media. My timing is absolutely divine. The dessert here is delicious, no question about it. I am also happy to support local businesses, and excited to try the other dessert that is offered here. read more

Funny enough I didn't get to try their knafeh but their selection is wonderful. I've always wanted to try Aish El Saraya & they had it so I went with that. I came late I guess most of their stuff was gone but it's definitely a place to revisit again. Minimal seating but I guess it's mainly a pickup place. Service is decent too. read more

Came here because I was craving a piece of home. I'm originally from Michigan which hosts the best knafa the US can offer. I will say this doesn't compare to what I've had in the past sadly, but I have to thank them for even making it. Would recommend providing a side of the syrup. Microwaving it makes it more edible but something is still missing. Beautiful presentation. Love the display of Palestine. Friendly staff. Will order from here again even if the taste isn't my favorite :) read more

Excellent knafeh quality, fair prices, many different types of knafeh to choose from. Staff are quick and helpful and get the job done. Smaller place but has seating indoors and outdoors, also near an Islamic fashion shop. This place is excellent and me and my friends LOVE it, always coming here for dessert after dinner in Little Arabia. read more

Only ordered the knafeh to go here... funny to read another review that said they were advised to microwave for 30 seconds and we were told, very specifically, 52 (52 secs got us the just-starting-to-get-melty consistency in the mozzarella). Had both the regular and crispy versions and both were delicious. Rice pudding was good but very rosewater(?) forward and could stand to be milkier/creamier (just personal taste). Very limited outdoor seating. Would return. read more
