    Iced mofawar
    Han-Nha T.

    Super friendly service and reasonably priced drinks. Love how they're open later. Had the iced Mofawar and you can choose the sweetness. The ambiance is more for hanging out than for working, although they do have outlets. Clean restroom. Hope to try some of their sweets!

    Super cute cafe downtown off K Street! My friend and I recently came to try this place after we saw it in a Coffee Crawl. After driving by so many times I glad to have tried it. The inside is much bigger than expected, lots of seating, and delicious drinks and pastries. The inside is bright, spacious, they have outlets if you wanted to bring a laptop to do work. The worker was nice and answered questions we had about the drinks. I ordered the Yemeni latte which has cinnamon and cardamon in it. The drink was tasty without being overly sweet, I do wish the coffee flavor was a bit stronger. I also ordered the saffron milk cake which reminded me of a tres leches cake. I really loved the milk cake, very sweet but great with their coffee. My friend ordered the rose milk cake and it was also delicious. I would definitely come back!

    I've passed by here many times since I work close by. I did go in a few times to check it out and because I was with people who wanted to hang out here. When they first opened, I was skeptical since this area is okay. It can be hit or miss and not the best crowd at times. The location has a a few shops around it that are closed also, including this one. I most recently went here for a group outting with coworkers. We all got drinks and everyone's drink looks good. Since it took a while to get our drinks, it looks like everything is made fresh to order, which is not bad unless you're in a hurry. I had the mango refresher and it was good. I've also had the pastries from here and they are great as well. The dining area has a lot of room and tables, and I see a lot of people working in here on their laptops or having "meetings" here for work. Customer service is great. They are very nice and were patient with my group since there was 8 of us on one order. I see the pastries here all the time and want to try them. The savory options look great. I'll have to try the other pastries when I can.

    Saw Sana'a Cafe on my first day in town and unfortunately didn't make it over until my last day visiting Sacramento, which makes me really sad because I would've loved to return before leaving town! The decor inside felt authentic and was beautiful; it really added to the character and charm of the cultural experience. Saher was fantastic! I have quite a few dietary preferences, which leads to a number of questions and requires a lot of patience, which Saher demonstrated flawlessly. He helped us navigate the menu to find the perfect fit. He truly made our experience memorable. Everything we tried was delicious and I'd happily order everything again.

    Sana'a Cafe is in downtown Sacramento, CA. I popped on into Sana'a on a weekday for a coffee and something to nosh on. I've been to a Sana Cafe in San Rafael but the first time at this location. They are franchised, independently owned coffeehouses specializing in Yemeni coffee, pasties, and light bites. The staff were direct, cordial and efficient. I asked the cashier what was their best selling drink which he said "everything is good". I believed him. However he had no recommendations. Unsolicited, the other customers in line kindly gave me some. Nice. I choose the Sana'a latte with oat milk. It was creamy and infused with cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. Luved it. Delicious. Drinking this, put me in the zone. I also ordered a ground beef fatayer and baklava. The fatayer was a savory, handheld meat pie with a yeasty dough exterior. The meat was on the dry side but by golly it had flavor. Spiced up! Not hot heat level but packed with flavor. The baklava was a tiny teeny size which surprised me and left me wanting more because it was darn tasty . They also have dessert pastries which looked all so prettily yummy behind the glass counter. Most are made with milk of some sort though. For the lactose intolerant folks, I recommend bringing a lactaid pill and going for it. The interior decor is striking. Bold gold and black colored furniture and opulent chandelier lighting fixtures dominate the room. Fancy. I'm picking up regal, posh vibes. The design aesthetics are similar in all Sana's Cafe. Plus this location is open 6am-midnight everyday. Probably one of the only urban downtown coffee houses open that late for caffeinated night owls. The cafe is a few blocks down K street from DOCO. I don't know how it's like in this area after the sun sets. Just sayin.

    Finally got to try this place out! It's been on my list for a while. My coworker and I came here on a Tuesday for a morning coffee run. Walking inside, the interior was unique and gave cozy feels. They had plenty of options for both food and drinks. I ended up ordering a Chai Latte and my coworker got the Yemeni Latte. There wasn't a long line when we went so our drinks came out fairly quick. We both loved our drinks and I could tell that the chai was very authentic. My coworker also said that the Yemeni Latte has plenty of caffeine to wake you up! Will definitely have to come back here again sometime. I heard their Honeycomb bread and Baklava pastries are really good so might order that next time.

    The staff was so helpful answering our questions. They have a great variety of items here! I would love to come back and try more. We ordered the rose milk cake and Yemeni iced coffee with light sugar. We asked them for a less sweet dessert and their recommendation was spot on. The cardamom and cinnamon in the coffee was so yummy.

    I visited Sana'a Café with my best friend last month on a rainy Monday afternoon, and it was absolutely worth it. Parking downtown can be a bit of a headache, but we lucked out with street parking and paid through the ParkMobile app (about $3.35 for an hour), so no complaints there. I didn't try the coffee, but honestly, the desserts completely stole the show and have been living rent-free in my head ever since. We stayed and enjoyed our treats inside the café, which has such a cozy, quaint atmosphere. There were even moments where we stopped talking just to fully savor each bite--that's how good the desserts were. Service was straightforward and friendly. It did feel a little slow at times since there was just one cashier and one barista handling everything, but it was understandable and didn't take away from the overall experience. The Turkish delight? Absolutely exquisite--good enough to consider selling out your family haha ("The Chronicles of Narnia" reference). The milk cakes were perfectly moist and spongy with just the right balance of sweetness, and the baklava somehow disappeared before I even realized it. I also ordered a dragonfruit drink that was super refreshing, but the desserts were definitely the main highlight. I've since moved out of state, so I won't be returning to this exact location, but lucky for me there's another Sana'a Cafe nearby that I'm already excited to visit!

    Busy place on a warm Saturday afternoon strolling around the State Capitol. Clean place, middle eastern music, comfortable interior with tidy restrooms. We sampled the following. Pistachio iced latte, Pistachio Hot latte and a Chi iced tea with a double shot of expresso. All three were ready quickly and unique & deliciously strong. Extensive desert case with numerous Milk cake, pistachio cheese cake, velvet and honeycomb cake. Will return for the deserts.

    I've been looking forward to trying the drinks here. Ordered the Adeni Chai (Yemeni black tea, cardamom, and cream), sweetened lightly. The Chai was very good. Spiced perfectly and not too sweet. I enjoyed the music and ambiance. Great service. They have deals, too. I look forward to coming back and trying other items.

    Honeycomb Cake
    Girlie M.

    This was my first visit, and I came with friends to try the Yemeni tea experience. Since we weren't sure what to order, we decided on the Mofawar. You can taste the roasted coffee, but it was just okay for my personal preference. I would have liked it to be a bit stronger. They also offer a variety of specialty Yemeni coffees and pastries, and I really enjoyed the honeycomb cake. If I come back, I'd probably try an individual coffee instead, like their pistachio latte.

    So I'm lucky enough to have been to the Sanaa cafe in Hollywood as well as this location. Both were so good! After the sac state graduation, it was a short drive from the Golden 1 center to meet up with family for a celebratory coffee or latte. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. The location on Hollywood blew my mind I must say but this one was pretty good too. Parking was tricky, but we managed. Will be coming back when I'm in the downtown Sacramento area.

    Heard about this place but haven't stepped in there til now and damn that's some good ass coffee! It's so cute and cozy inside, love the whole look to this place! Has a lot of culture and it's a beautiful setting. I got a coffee and my boyfriend got a matcha but wow that's good as hell! Definitely coming here again and stopping by. The cheesecake was delicious and the tiny bits of pistachios added a nice crunch. Parking here was lowkey full and I was lucky enough to get a spot in front but if you don't then go circle the block because it gets full fast

    Awesome Iced Espresso Drink Is My New Addiction!…read more SITREP I've been coming to Chloé Cà Phê & Roastery now since late Winter and it has become my go-to spot to post and enjoy coffee in my neighborhood (and it's only 3 blocks away from where I live, so that's a big plus!) THE SETUP I was only a "Daily Brew" sort of guy when I started coming here 7 months ago, but then a couple of months ago I was turned onto their Ca Phe Su Da - four (4) Espresso shots served over ice! I was sold! Most of the time, I get it "as is". Sometimes I throw in a bag of Splenda. Sometimes I add a spoonful of heavy cream. Sometimes I add in both: depends on my mood. But now I have a new favorite "go-to" coffee beverage, and it's deLISH and it hits the spot! THE LOWDOWN Chloe has an amazing menu of coffee offerings that you need to check out! It's got awesome indoor seating, some nice DJ music offerings at times, and an excellent place to meet up with friends and/or just post with your laptop a spell!

Honestly my first thoughts were, "why is there a car in here?" but Im sure car enthusiasts would fancy seeing a luxurious prestige vehicle in a cafe and everyone else would find it interesting as it is unusual for a cafe to just have a car right in the middle of its establishment. Their menu isnt overwhelming and only has a few selections, theres good pastries to try out as well. Coffee was alright and the pastries were ok, overall I guess I was just more distracted by the business's set pieces. In any case, check the place out, parking can be a pain if it gets busy, typical downtown sac. Issues.

The place is called Tomo Tea House on N Freeway Blvd in Natomas. Their parking situation is pretty good as they have a huge lot that they share with many other popular businesses. It's the cutest little shop and they have the cutest interior with a few tables inside for customers. They have a kiosk one can order from but I ordered at the regular cashier. They have a pretty good display case which features many of their mochi donuts available that day. This particular visit was kind of unique in that I went there towards the end of business day,so I was able to pick up six donuts for only $1 each,so I ended up getting a lot more donuts than usual. I can 100% say that after eating all six donuts they do make a quality mochi donut and they really nailed the proper texture and sweetness level. Let's rank the donuts I picked up that day. 1. Chocolate With Fruity Pebbles-5/5-I really enjoyed the over the top sweetness of the toppings with the subdued sweetness of the donut. 2. Cookies N Cream-4/5-Im a pretty big fan of Cookies n Cream so this flavor combo really worked. 3. Churro-3.75/5-i think they pulled off the churro flavor pretty well and I really enjoyed this donut. 4. Funnel Cake-2.5/5- I'm not the biggest fan of Funnel Cake,so I'm probably the wrong audience but yeah just didn't enjoy it too much. 5. Ube-1.5/5- like the funnel cake,not a massive fan of Ube flavor so this flavor profile didn't work for me-sadly I had two of these. Overall I really enjoyed my visit to this shop and they currently are my go-to spot for mochi donuts in the Natomas area. They have a really high quality product here.
