Had the pistachio chocolate cake, the biscoff cake and the mocha with housemade chocolate. Everything was delicious and Maggie and Amy were awesome enough to let us finish our desserts inside, even after closing! Very nicely decorated with a warm, welcoming feel. A modern coffee shop featuring ethnic items. read more

Yaaba, Shako Mako? What a delightful experience visiting Mar7aba Cafe. The service, beverages, delicious sweets, and atmosphere get's a solid 5 starts! Service with a smile: The lady barista was super friendly. We were greeted with a smile. To start, We ordered an iced caramel late and a chai, both lovely. The options for sweets looked amazing, but we just had lunch so barely room for a bite or two. We had the chocolate baqlawa, sprinkled with pistachio bits. I've had baqlawa, but never had a chocolate version before. Man, it was rich, but not too sweet, yet very tasty. Kudo's to the pastry Chef! If you don't know much about Iraq, you will miss the design & decorative details. From the broad Babylonian Cuneiform writing across the front and wall, to the small little decorative details like the small Kerosene heater (Soopa) in the corner. Finally, The atmosphere was very relaxing with chill music to enjoy it all. Mumtaz and Well done Mer7aba Owners and Staff. Happy to support a local Anaheim business. We will certainly be back to try more of what's on the menu. read more

This cute little shop is tucked away behind a gas station so kind of easy to miss, but definitely worth finding. The inside is super charming, with cozy décor and a few tables to sit and enjoy your treats. There's even a cute little sofa area near the restroom, which adds to the overall vibe. And yes, the restroom has a long mirror that's perfect for a quick photo op lol. The girl who took my order tonight was super friendly and sweet she was a 10/10 for me with customer service! I ordered the pistachio matcha and it was so good. I also picked up a Biscoff mini cake for my best friend, and she loved it. Personally, I was expecting a stronger Biscoff flavor, but it leaned more toward a light, creamy pastry. Still soft, tasty, and enjoyable. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more drinks and pastries. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth stopping by! read more

If you are looking for perfectly executed, authentic baklava, this is the spot. The phyllo dough was incredibly flaky and crisp. It's sweet, but well-balanced enough that you can actually taste the quality of the nuts and the hint of honey. The staff was super welcoming and guided me through all the different desserts. read more

I love their cakes here! Friends and I dropped in on a late Saturday night for a sweet treat and I was so pleasantly surprised by their cakes. It was soft and airy and not too sweet. I like that this place opens late and it has a great ambiance for sitting and enjoying tea and desserts. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Wow spontaneous date night wandering around town. After dinner my boyfriend and I looked up dessert spots in the area and decided to go to Mar7aba Iraqi Café in Anaheim as it was the most unique option. The cashier in the front lacked training. Poor knowledge of her products. I asked if any of their beverages were de-caf as it was already late when we came. I was specifically intrigued by something another customer ordered and I asked if there was any caffeine, she said no. Then the owner or manager comes out and was like NO, I told you there was. There's actually A LOT OF CAFFEINE in that. Awkward! I wanted to extra support the business to try things on my first visit so I did settle on the Lime Tea ($5) for a noncaffeinated beverage. For the dessert they had a whole case of different looking baklava but the cashier couldn't really tell me what was different about them. It can't just be the shape right?? Maybe add some labels for your staff if there are training barriers. I ended up just picking a random piece of Baklava ($8). We also got a Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake ($14.99). I'm looking at my receipt now and I see a 3% credit card charge. I'm mad because there was no warning of this CC charge. I had cash I could have used if I was warned. The serving was really clumsy too. The owner or manager put the items on the tray but instead of just handing it to me, she put it towards the cashier to hand to me. But the cashier was busy helping another customer. I'm not a fan of the delays... it really would have been easier if she just handed it to me. Her staff is clearly struggling already. The lime tea has a herbal medicinal taste that I like but I don't think it's for everyone. The baklava was a bit stale. Not sure if that's because we came later in the day. It tasted okay, but just stale and lacking the flakiness that I enjoy in a typical baklava. I was literally thinking they might benefit from making less variety and preserving it better. As for the Dubai chocolate cheesecake, it was our favorite from a taste point of view. From a pastry point of view, the top layer is too thick in consistency. It could be a bit smoother. The middle layer gets smushed from being too soft as you eat it. Oh well... still tasty. I want to like the business. I would like to come back in the future and try other items, enjoy some caffeine during the daytime, and hope their staff is better trained by the time I come back. read more

Cute cafe with cute desserts! Went here for an after dinner dessert. Ended up grabbing a pistachio and a raspberry cake. Was debating whether to get a drink - we asked for what was uncaffeinated and was actually offered drinks that definitely did have caffeine in it. We opted for water and our cakes. The pistachio cake was fantastic - chocolate and pistachios - can't go wrong with that, and there's the texture of bits of pistachios that work well. The raspberry cake ... a bit of a miss for me - the amount of raspberry icing was a bit much that it ended up being a bit medicinal for our taste. Would come back - perhaps will try some baklava or cheesecake next time around. read more

I rarely give 5 stars for a cafe but this place is so worth it! We ordered a biscoff cake and iced americano and they were AMAZING! Iced americano was not watered down which I loved. Biscoff cake is a must to try!!! Another great thing is that the person who was working was super nice and welcoming. It is located inside a small plaza so there are free parking spaces. Will definitely go back to try more of their delicious cakes read more

Cute spot you'd never expect to find on the corner of Brookhurst & Orangethorpe behind the gas station. I've seen this little place pop up on my feed a few times and finally decided to come sit and have a tea and pastry on a cold evening. They still had a decent selection of cakes and baklava at 6pm. Ordered the raspberry cake which was perfect for two. Also got the lime tea (first time trying a Turkish tea). I'm honestly not sure what it was...it was quite sweet and tangy while super earthy. Reminded me of Yerba mate with a ton of honey and lime. (I could be super off but that's my profile take on it). Honestly this is a cute spot to pull over and get a coffee or tea and get a little treat. It was very comfortable on a rainy day and the presentation of items was well done too. read more

Mar7aba Cafe & Sweets - Raspberry cake & lime tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Anaheim, California

First time visiting this Iraqi café as we were on the lookout for a new spot to kick off the new year and we're so glad we found it. The café has a cozy, warm ambiance with warm lighting. It's an intimate space with about 8 tables, first come first serve (no reservations), which adds to its charm and relaxed vibe. The drink menu is simple and thoughtfully curated, featuring Iraqi tea and coffee. We tried the Iraqi tea, a latte, and a few desserts, most notably the chocolate raspberry, which was absolutely outstanding. Hands down one of the best desserts we've had. The Belgian chocolate shell with a raspberry filling inside was rich, balanced, and not overly sweet. Truly impressive. All the cakes are made by the owner, and you can really taste the care and quality in each bite. The Iraqi tea was flavorful and a bit strong for our preference, but still enjoyable. Next time, we'll ask for a little hot water to dilute it slightly, personal preference more than anything. As we were leaving, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Hiba, who was incredibly warm and welcoming. That personal touch really elevated the entire experience. We're already looking forward to coming back and we're excited to check out their shawarma spot opening just a couple of doors down in about two weeks (same ownership!). Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a cozy café with amazing desserts and genuine hospitality. read more

The americano was a perfect lightly roasted coffee aroma with no acidic bite. And the toasted marshmallow coffee has the perfect mixture of the coffee still being there and the sweetness not overpowering the drink. No notes for the biscoff cake. It's a 10/10, and would definitely comeback to try their other desserts! read more

Lotus Biscoff Tres Leches (5/5): sweet and very good, cake had a smooth texture, biscoff wasn't too overpowering, had the perfect balance of flavors Price: $10.99 Iced Banana Matcha (1/5): could taste a lot of the matcha powder, tasted completely like soybean milk, no banana flavor, not worth the price Price: $8 for matcha, $1 extra for oat milk, $0.75 to add banana, Total: $9.75 I got an ube cheesecake ($13.99) to-go for my mom and she thought it was really good. I recommend trying the cakes. My friend ordered the lime tea ($5) and liked it. She said it was very citrusy and had a herbal taste. However, I tried it and the lime was too strong and tasted a little like medicine. (1/5) My total was $43.99 for four items, which is very pricey. There is also a 3% credit card surcharge that they should have mentioned. Not sure if I would come back because it's too expensive for their cake and tea. The service didn't feel very welcoming either. read more

This place is just beyond. The desserts here are so insanely good. They're on the more expensive side but so worth it, you'll see once you take a bite. They pair well with the bitterness of the Turkish coffee. We ordered the pistachio cake and biscoff cake. The pistachio cake was our favorite. The chocolate interior is decadent and creamy and pistachio layer was thick and divine. I loved the pieces of actual pistachio layered into the cake. The biscoff cake was also rich and creamy. This was on the sweeter side. Would love to come back some day to try the cheesecakes! read more

I'm glad I finally got the chance to try Mar7aba cafe, I had seen a few videos on TikTok that enticed me and I'm glad to report it was well worth it! The raspberry cake was tart and not overly sweet, bought it thinking I'd take a few bites and have the rest for later but I inhaled that bad boy. The tea was yummy as well but the dessert was my favorite. The staff were nice and the ambiance is cozy and relaxing. There's a parking lot with plenty of spots. read more

Friends and I were trying to find a cafe to hang out at for a bit and we wanted to try something new. We saw Mar7aba Iraqi Cafe via Yelp and was instantly drawn in by the cute cakes and sweets. It was also a different experience from the usual boba places that we go to, so why not. It's a pretty popular cafe. Most of the tables were taken and we had to drag some chairs from close by so we can all sit together. Definitely looks like a place that's popular for catching up, hanging out, and maybe even studying. Interior decor reminds me of Toro Tea's bohemian minimalism with a dash of culture wit the traditional coffee making tools and utensils all around. Restroom is clean too. They're open super late at night which is a plus. For our visit, we got the: 1) Turkish Coffee: -It's a small amount, but served in the traditional ceramic cup with the metal net/carrying piece around it. So you can pick it up without transferring the heat to your fingers. -My friend is a coffee connoisseur and grinds beans at home, and all of that, and he didn't like it. Said it tasted like muddy water. I'm not a fan of these types of coffee either, so it tasted bitter and a bit sour to me too. Great for pics, but not good. 2) Sea Salt Caramel Iced Latte: -Comes with 2 shots of espresso and your choice of milk. -Friend got this and I'll be honest, it's more of a dessert drink than anything. I love sea salt caramel so I thought it was super yummy, but with our cakes, this might have been sugar overload for someone who doesn't really intake that much sugar either. 3) Iraqi Tea: -I got this hot and didn't need to add in any additional sugar or sweeteners. -It comes out super hot and in a pretty big mug, so there's enough to sip through for a while. It's a strong tasting black tea with fragrant cardamom. Reminds me of a fall drink, which I really like. 4) Lotus Biscoff Cake" -It's a vanilla sponge cake with layers of Biscoff cookie butter spread and wrapped with a white chocolate Biscoff glaze and topped with, of course, a Biscoff cookie on top. -It's a very sweet and decadent cake, strong Biscoff cookie butter taste to it, luckily no strong white chocolate taste. Went great with my unsweetened hot tea. I'm a fan of Biscoff cookies to begin with so this was a must for me and I took the first and last bite. I wouldn't mind getting the Biscoff cheesecake if I come back again. 5) Red Raspberry Cake: -Very eye catching bright red cake. It's a vanilla sponge cake with raspberry cream and filling and a raspberry glaze. -I'm not the biggest fan of raspberry and this was overly too sweet for me and everyone else. There's the very slight raspberry tart taste to it, but overall, just tastes like a sweet berry cake. We couldn't finish this. The presentation of all drinks and food on the tray is lovely and great for pics. I don't mind coming back and trying other items on the menu. read more

I came here in the afternoon with a friend to catch up and grab something sweet. There was plenty of parking, which was a nice surprise. As soon as we walked in, it felt like stepping into a beautiful Middle Eastern sanctuary. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The space was cozy and full of Arabic decor, with lots of seating. The cake selection was amazing!! SO many mini cakes that looked perfect and hard to choose from! We ended up trying the biscoff cake and a slice of the Dubai chocolate cheesecake. Both were delicious. We also got karak chai, both hot and iced. It had a strong, spiced flavor and was creamy and comforting. We stayed for a while chatting and relaxing. I really recommend this place and will definitely be coming back. I love Arabic-style coffee shops, and I'm happy to see more of them opening! read more

Good drinks and sweets but waaay too expensive for what it is. I can't justify spending $14 for a single slice of cake. On the other hand, I did enjoy the tic tak to game at every table which my friend and I actually played with. The customer service was also on point. read more

Mar7aba Iraqi Cafe is located in the Little Arabia district of Anaheim. They offer coffee/tea drinks and sweets (single serve cakes, basque cheesecakes, milk cakes, and baklava). I settle on a pistachio cheese cake and pistachio latte. Pistachio latte ($8 [included cold foam] - I really enjoyed this drink with it's strong pistachio flavor profile that went well with the espresso. It was so refreshing. Pistachio cheesecake ($13) - This Basque cheesecake was rich, creamy and had a nice pistachio flavor. A small jug with milk chocolate was provided to pour over the cheesecake which really added to the flavor profile. Overall I was really impressed with the latte here and the cheesecake. I did however feel the cheesecake was on the pricier side as compared to other Arab coffee houses. The pistachio cheesecake offering at Sana Cafe (Yemeni) is better in my opinion but the chocolate pour over here provides for a unique experience. read more

Amazing experience/visit and we loved all the desserts and drinks there. The milk tea (unsweetened) pairs so well with the sweets. We had the pistachio cheesecake, which was amazing. I was expecting it to be a firmer texture but it was silky smooth. The biscoff cake was also delicious and has cookie butter inside. Since it's tall, it can be shared with friends. The baklava was delicious - my favorite was the dark chocolate one. All of the desserts come on these beautiful trays and the milk tea in a jug on a stand with a candle inside. The inside of the cafe is beautiful and has comfortable spots for groups to gather and hang out. Will be back again in the future! read more

It was a cute cozy cafe. A lot of tables and people working when we arrived in the evening. The iraqi tea was great and the dubai chocolate cheesecake was really good. 4 stars because everything is a little overpriced.

Mar7aba means "Hello" or "Welcome ". This is the impression I get by walking inside Mar7aba Iraqi Cafe. The young ladies greeted us once we entered with nice smiles. The shop has perfect lighting and pleasant sweet aroma.The decor is honoring the Mesopotamian history (Iraqi ancient history) by having beautiful vessels as part of their decor. Overall, it is very relaxing and welcoming ambience. The Cafe has many indoor seating. It is very clean and organized. The menu includes both desserts and drinks. They also have some savory pastries but unfortunately they ran out of most of them because we went late. The drink menu includes variety of hot coffee, hot tea, matcha, iced drinks, and refreshers drinks. Their desserts are to die for. They have Biscoff cake, Vanilla, taro and Pistachio San Sebastian cake, Lotus tres Leches cheesecake, Caramel tres Leches, triple chocolate cake, Dubai chocolate cheesecake, in addition to baklava and chocolate baklava, just to mention a few. We got two pistachio latte to go. Their pistachio latte was creamy, nutty ,rich and flavorful.I really enjoyed every sip. Absolutely delicious 5/5 For desserts, we ordered: - Triple Chocolate 5/5 Light and airy chocolate sponge filled with decadent chocolate. If you are chocolate lover, you will love the triple chocolate. - Biscoff cake 5/5 Light vanilla sponge cake filled with creamy and rich Biscoff. It is remarkable. - Chocolate Raspberry cake 5/5 Chocolate sponge cake paired with chocolate cream and topped with Belgian chocolate.

On this beautiful rainy day, I stumbled upon this cute Iraqi cafe in the Anaheim area, and it turned out to be such a lovely find. Since it's fairly new, I definitely recommend stopping by if you're nearby. The space is simple, cozy, and welcoming, with plenty of seating and a really nice ambiance. Leen was incredibly kind and made the experience even better with great customer service. They offer a nice selection of pastries and baklava, along with a great variety of teas, coffees, and matcha.

I saw God eating this place's baklavas. It also smells so delicious I thought I was in heaven. The people running it are so attentive.

This random tiny café is located next to a subway and gas station. We were pretty excited to see an Iraqi Café. The inside was small with a few places to sit and games to play if you want to hang out. The decor was very clean and bright. Very similar to other trendy coffee shops with clean white tiles. They had some desserts, teas, and coffee options on the menu. We ordered the baklava and Dubai chocolate latte. For a small shop with a few customers it took a bit longer than I expected and from my observation they seem new to coffee making. That worried me. The baklava was delicious. The latte was disappointing. I wish it had more Coffee because it tasted more like a chocolate milk. Again, they seem new so there's plenty of room for improvement. Good luck to this little shop. It was fun to try! read more

I was a bit hesitant to try this place after seeing how small it is inside, but we quickly found a seat and saw some tables opening up every few minutes which was nice. The service was great. The worker was helpful and answered our questions regarding their desserts & coffees. I will say my coffee was a bit stronger than what I usually go for, but it was still amazing! My brother got the chai and he liked it. The cheesecake came with a side of melted chocolate that you pour over it, giving you the famous and viral cheesecake look from Turkey. I would say the cheesecake stole the show, hands down. 10/10 all around. read more
