    Double shot espresso iced
    Leilani M.

    Right across the street from Pantages theater in the Taft building. Corner location great spot to grab some "keep me up" drink. Inside seating is limited. Parking lots and garages nearby. Great service welcoming and informative. Traditional coffee and espresso drinks also teas and specialty mixes to try. Sweet or savory items available great when you're on the go or waiting in line for the production show and your tummy growls. The honeycomb bread is drizzled with honey and sesame seeds with cheese inside the dough balls, very substantial. The espresso was a nice floral flavor profile with just the right amount of ice to my liking. A great first visit!

    Tried this new-ish Yemeni coffee shop. Honestly, not quite sold on the coffee even though I generally really enjoy coffee that's similar to this style. But I do want to go back to try the desserts..

    YEMENI LATTE
    Mona A.

    Walked over here with one of my girlfriends after ballet at Equinox right down the street. Easy stop. Quick, sweet service. In and out but still felt super taken care of I got the Yamini latte (mofawar). Piping hot. Cardamom, a little cream. Had it without sugar and it still wasn't bitter at all. Strong in a good way. I'm literally still feeling it My friend got the Spanish latte. Definitely sweeter. She loved it. The space is really pretty. High ceilings, warm tones, big lantern-style lights. Feels a little elevated for a casual coffee stop. Good place to sit for a bit. Also... the pastries looked very good. Will be back for those next time. Sana'a Cafe is just a really solid coffee spot in Hollywood

    I've never had turkish style coffee's, so disclaimer I am a big newbie here. I first took a sip of one of there most popular drinks, a cream and cardamom iced coffee, and I thought I had made a hugh mistake. It tasted nothing like the Starbucks iced americanos I'm used to. I added a little sugar because that's how I like it and I continued to sip away. Then I really started noticing and appreciating the silky delicate flavors that were subtly being presented. And the more I drank the more I really actually started to LOVE this coffee. I accepted the fact that this ain't no American coffee and that this is a delicacy of unique flavors. I'm a coffee lover, and what a treat it was to add this new style of coffee in my life. I was fully energized after, not overwhelmingly, and I cannot wait to go back again. This place has plenty of dessert options as well, from red velvet cakes to Turkish sweets. The inside is elegantly decorated with crystal style chandeliers and clean tables. Friendly service as well. Also plenty of charging stations. Nice place for a quick study or two person meeting.

    Honey bread
    Anna S.

    When you're in the area, why not try something different? I've never had Yemeni food before so was happy to see establishment within walking distance of the theater. We had their coffee and a spice of rose milk cake and saffron milk cake. Kids had a refreshing mango drink which they lapped up. We also had a large honey bread that didn't really taste like honey. Had all kinds of other flavors like sesame and salt. Not very sweet at all but a great collaboration of flavors. Must try. Coffee is like chai. I'm more a purist when it comes to coffee and tea unless it blows my tastebuds. Too many spices for me but you might like it. Tastes more like tea than coffee as well.

    Adeni chai
    Huma H.

    Delicious adeni chai, placed in the center of Hollywood, was very welcomed on a long day. Service is fast, got the tea within a few minutes! Rich, just the right sweetness, and piping hot. The spot can get incredibly crowded given the location. It's also a nice spot for people watching with the big windows - we watched a crew shooting a film!

    Baklava W Pistachio and a shot of espresso
    Aileen H.

    The pistachio baklava was meh. One of the ingredients they used tasted off. The espresso was fine. Nice decor inside. Service is self-service. I would pass and look for other options.

    Latte and Pistachio Cheescake
    Ryan C.

    This was a treat to be able to have something I wasn't expecting. I was thinking it would be just another corner cafe, but I was surprised to walk into a Yemeni themed cafe that is run by people with style. I had just seen a band perform a Persian song the night before, so this fit right in with the vibe I was feeling. The coffee list was extensive, not just flavored espresso drinks, but actual different roasts. I was a little overwhelmed by the choices and lack of sleep the night before, so I went with a latte. It was creamy and delicious. Not too sweet, and the espresso roast was well balanced. Since I was on a mini vacation I opted for cheesecake for breakfast. Not just any cheesecake, it was pistachio! It had the right amount of sweetness while letting the light nutty flavor come through. There were also many Yemeni style pastries and breakfast offerings to choose from. It all looked so delicious! On a January Friday morning it was nice and relaxing. A few other people were there sharing stories and catching up as well. Skip the big chains and support a local shop that is run by people that care about their craft.

    I appreciate the warning. Also, I love my coffee scalding hot. So, I am looking forward to this.

    I am I so happy there's a proper cafe near the theater. I always want a sweet treat or coffee after the show. My first time trying Yemeni coffee and I am intrigued. I will definitely be back soon so that I can try the other specialty/Yemeni coffees.

    Went to this location on a fly when we were in the area and I knew it had to be good based solely on the location: Hollywood & Vine is one of the most iconic corners in the city. We tried the Biscoff cookie Butter Tres Leche cake and it was good. We got the Spanish Latte and the Yemeni Latte and they were so good. Well, our drinks lived up to it. They were so good, we visited the Sacramento location a few weeks later. Service was good, tables were clean. We will go here again when in the area!

    Very chill atmosphere from the Hollywood streets. Extensive menu and tons of food choices along with the drink options,

    Rose Latte
    Nadia M.

    This coffee shop if right off the Hollywood strip. Very convenient for a quick coffee break. Inside it's very pretty, nicely decorated and very clean. The girl who took my order was very helpful as I was a little unsure about what to order. I ended up getting a rose latte which unfortunately I didn't love. I felt like it was extremely sweet and didn't even taste like rose

    Second trip to Sana and this time I enjoyed my late so much more! I ordered the rose late with almond milk and it was perfect! The temp was right, it wasn't too sweet and the rose flavor was prominent. I also really enjoyed the texture because it was very creamy, which is sometimes difficult with almond milk. The place can get busy, so expect to wait for a table but they do have bar style seating as well. And it's so close to the Pantages which makes for a perfect spot after a show. They play international songs which makes it nice to just sit relax and enjoy your coffee and music.

    I got the Spanish latte with a Pistachio Cheese Cake and my gf got the Pistachio Latte with Tiramisu Milk Cake. So yummy!

It's a very cute and cozy coffee shop and there was no line when we arrived. The menu had a huge selection of different coffee and tea drinks and also a seasonal menu. The staff were very kind and patient and swiftly prepared the Vienna Latte and Hojicha Latte we ordered. The Vienna Latte is so visually stunning, the layers of white milk, brown espresso, thick white cream, brown cocoa powder and Biscoff layered on top of each other against the dark green logo was so aesthetic. Having a sip before mixing the Vienna latter was incredible, the sweet cream followed with the nutty strong espresso flavour then getting a refreshing splash of milk made a great combo with the Biscoff. I actually liked the drink less after its all mixed because it was too creamy for my taste. (I normally like my coffee black) My hojicha latte was great, but it was also too milky for me. So I went up and asked if it would taste good dirty, with an espresso shot in it, and the barista said yes. I ordered an espresso shot and instead of charging me full price, they only charged me the add on espresso shot for the drink! ($1.50 instead of $4) It was very kind of them since it was absolutely my mistake for not ordering the right drink in the first place. The shot added much depth and flavour to the hojicha latte I was craving. Thanks for the wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back to try their other specialty drinks.

The pictures don't lie. It's got that clean, modern coffee shop aesthetic, but a few quirky touches keep it from feeling like every other minimalist café. There's a photo booth in the back (which I assume explains the name) and a display of sunglasses that I never quite figured out. Also, no bathroom code. Always appreciated. Neither of us usually orders einspanners, but my wife got the vanilla and I ordered the mocha, both iced with oat milk. They were excellent. Creamy and rich and the coffee underneath was tasty even before mixing in the cream. The pastries looked beautiful and artful, although I was hoping for something simple like an almond croissant. The vibe outside on the patio was great. Lots of people working on laptops, plenty of room to settle in, and it felt more like a co-working space than a typical coffee shop. It's also super dog-friendly, has ample parking in its own lot and we even found easy street parking out front. Everything about this place just worked. We'll gladly make the 25-minute drive again.
