My friend and I were doing a San Diego roundtrip and knew we needed to caffeinate. She had heard…read moreabout Sabr, so we decided to do a pitstop on the way. We came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM, and the whole cafeteria area was essentially empty - other than 3 tables. This would be a GREAT place to study or do some productive work! I ordered the CTM - Cinnamon Toast Matcha. It was DELICIOUS! Who knew how complimentary cinnamon toast crunch would be matcha. I also decided to try the zatar cheese danish which was a different flavor from what I've had, but was so tasty! It's a little pricy, but not more than the cost of other cafes. If I lived in the area or was back in the area again, I would definitely stop in and try other drinks and pastries! What a hidden local gem!

My friend and I were dropping off my partner at a local pickleball spot and were craving matcha, so…read morewe came across Sabr Cafe! We honestly didn't realize it was tucked inside a religious/community center. There were a lot of people studying there, and the space itself was really open and spacious. We were afraid that we were being too loud so I don't recommend this place to hang out unless you're studying or doing work. We also liked that there was a restaurant next to Sabr, so we ended up getting a quesadilla that was HUGE and was yummy treat to go with our drinks. For matcha, I got the einspanner and my friend got the Cinnamon Toast Matcha. I really enjoyed the einspanner matcha! It was smooth and definitely hit the spot. My only mistake was drinking it around 2 PM because I literally could not sleep the rest of the night haha. Overall, good drinks and a chill place to study. Will definitely come back again and try their other drinks next time!

Not open at 6 o'clock like they say. We were there Saturday morning at 6:30, and no one was there.read more

The spinach pies and chicken musakhan are among the best in the savory section including the beef sabaya and honeycomb bread. I took the miniature honeycomb to my Chinese neighbor and she loved it. However best of all is the service. The staff are always smiling and very hospitable. I love how they remember your name and your favorite drinks. I also love sitting in the traditional seating area more. It's more cosy, private and not as hot. The outside area is phenomenal too and now they will have World Cup series on a big screen TV there. Can't wait!!!

I grabbed one of each: - Milk cream crunch - Lemon brioche - Kinako butter anpan I was so hungry, I had to try them as soon as I got in the car and WOW they were all so delicious! I came in at a rather odd time around 3:30 pm, so was very surprised they were still soft and fresh. The lemon brioche was a big surprise for me as I don't typically gravitate towards lemony pastries, but knew I had to try it when I saw it was one of their most popular items -- and I'm glad I did! The lemon is nice and subtle, and I love the addition of the white chocolate! The milk cream bun was also a favorite. The cream in the center had the perfect amount of sweetness (not too sweet!), and the crunchy white chocolate balls really brought evening together. I can't wait to come back for more pastries and to try the sandwiches!

Genuinely wanted to like this place. Review for the owner to please read:…read more I ordered the chicken pesto, I should've known having kids make it that it wasn't going to be good but hey you never know. I understand not everything can be made immediately fresh but when I tell you COLD. The chicken pesto was sooo cold. It was disgusting.. who wants to eat almost frozen chicken?! The toast was warm and that's about it! It 100% looks way better than it tastes and the side salad... what even is that? All I taste is the dressing from like a chinese salad. Why would I want Chinese dressing with chicken pesto. The combo doesn't mix well with one another. 0/10 and the inside isn't aired out at all I had to open and leave the door open myself. Smelled like bacon all around the cafe. Won't be coming back

They also serve freshly made breakfast and have different kinds of musubi you can grab by the cash register. There's also different yummy pastries to choose from. Depending on the time you come, it gets really busy and full inside. Service is fast and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Lucky to live close by to this coffee shop. I used to go to the one in Mission Viejo (Kona Loa)

Note to the owner:…read more Yes, the barista did mention that but he also said that he is gonna just use the strawberry syrup which is gonna make the drink to be ok. Oh boy.... Where should I start?! Got the strawberry latte (half sweet) which is their seasonal "special". Oh yes it was very special and not in a good way. It tasted like strawberry water. No espresso flavor at all. To make it worse, the cup was not even full to the top. If I am paying almost $7 for a latte, it better be full. The service was ok. Nothing special. They have TONS of Tesla charging stations in the front and that is how I came across this coffee shop (while charging my car). This was one of my least memorable coffee experiences. Unbookmark it!

I recently had the chance to indulge in their offerings again just a few weeks ago and they kept me powered for my shift all night. I highly recommend them for events and if you have the chance to see them, give their Knafeh latte a try. You won't be disappointed! I also love that they offer bottled lattes to take home so you can enjoy them during the work week! Some of my favorites are their Churro latte and vanilla cardamom. The owners are always super sweet and professional, and their aesthetic really elevates the experience at the events I've been too! Solid 10/10!

Service is always fine, but never anything beyond ordinary. They have notably good drinks here. They will usually have a seasonal menu with fun flavors/drinks that I usually go for. They have yummy cold foams and a VERY strong cold brew. In a good way. Actually one of the best cold brews I've had. I also love coming here for breakfast burritos with their green salsa! The green salsa is soooooo good, but it's usually a 50% chance they will be out of either the burrito of the salsa. Other than this consistency, I love visiting Bodhi Leaf!

Nothing screams picnic quite like an iced latte and panini pairing. I ordered the chicken pesto panini, apple chai kombucha, and a mushroom iced latte. This latte did loads for my social meter. Giving me the extra pep to talk all things books. The sandwich was stacked with thick pieces of avocado, jalapeños, and sliced chicken. A very filling meal that definitely caught everyone's eye. Would love to return and explore more of their food menu.

There's also some seating outside as well. We love Portuguese sausage and was glad they had that as a protein option. Staff was very helpful when we asked for suggestions. We ordered the Kim chee burrito with Portuguese sausage and a breakfast burrito with Portuguese sausage. We also got the Island coffee (coconut flavored) and Spanish coffee (condensed milk and cinnamon). Both drinks were amazing. We also really liked the Kim chee burrito. One bite and my husband and I wish we ordered 2. It went so well with the sour cream. The service was very fast as well. This is a must try if you are in the area!

The location itself is very small, located right off El Toro but can easily be missed if you don't know where to turn off. The line is almost always quite lengthy when we are there but the staff is great and the drinks typically come out quite quickly. My go to drink is the iced Snowy Mocha and it has great flavor and is always made to perfection. The pricing here is also quite good and they offer a substantial rewards program as well that adds up quickly. Although they have since opened a newer location closer to home in Garden Grove for me, I still prefer this location so far overall for consistency and overall pleasantness. I am a satisfied customer of theirs and hope to return again many times to come.

There is lots of seating inside and out with spaces for working/studying more inside and relaxing outside. Its also a great place if you want to take some nice IG photos. The staff is friendly and make drinks quickly. But the coffee drinks themselves are just ok. We both had Cortados this time and they were a little tasteless and too hot. Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?

My sister and I really enjoyed the coffee during our last visit, so we were hoping the matcha would live up to the same standard. I ordered the Double Matcha Latte with oat milk and 50% sweetness, and it had a really nice strong matcha flavor. My sister got the Raspberry Matcha Latte, since raspberry is usually her go-to flavor pairing, and she liked it overall but realized raspberry may not be her favorite fruit to combine with matcha. The server also mentioned that the drinks are sweetened with agave, which was nice to know. I also appreciated that they don't charge extra for milk alternatives, especially as someone who is lactose intolerant. Even at 50% sweetness, I probably could have gone a little less sweet, but overall it was still a great experience. Definitely a place I'd come back to again.
