Excellent, friendly service and a very clean establishment. I would definitely go back. I don't normally like cardamom in my drink but I ordered the sanani coffee and it was outstanding. Perfect balance and not too sweet. We also ordered a beef patty which was just OK. But the spinach cheese roll was worth it. I really enjoyed this place and highly recommend it.
Love the latte! Thought this Finjan latte would taste gingery since it has ginger, cardamom, honey and cinnamon but no it is perfect taste. The place is so pretty. The service is good. The cashier helps you choose the drink you want. It is very relaxing and fun to hangout with friends. The pastries taste good especially the spicy ones. Will surely be included in the resto to go to.
Sayfani is a new Middle Eastern coffee house in Schaumburg. I've been there a few times and it's always busy! It's a large set up with plenty of table to sit. I love the diversity of the crowd, too! You have young folks and families, elderly couples, and singles doing work. It's great to see everyone come in and enjoy the pastries, food, and drinks. The decor is beautiful! You look like you're in a beautifully decorated Arab villa with updated decor. It's airy and trendy. The pastries were beautifully laid out and it was hard to resist. You can also purchase light food items for lunch or dinner. I enjoyed refreshers, and most recently, the Strawberry Matcha. I loved the flavors and how refreshing it was. The service was great and even though they were busy, they managed to get my drink out quickly! It's really a great place to check out.
We made our way out to Schaumburg to go shopping at IKEA, but this was our first stop. We got the Golden dagger latte (honey-caramel-vanilla) & Sayfani latte (honey-cardamom-cinnamon) ($7 each). They were absolutely delicious. They had some savory food options, but none were vegetarian. We ordered a few options from the pastry case. We ordered the Dubai Pistachio Cheesecake ($11.99) but were given the Dubai Chocolate Cake by mistake, so we had to go back up to swap this out. I ended up not liking the cheesecake texture at all, and I wonder if it had gelatin in it. We got the Chocolate Tres Leches ($9.99), which was fine but a bit pricey. Finally, we got the Strawberry Fruit Mousse ($10.99) - again fine but pricey. I would get coffee here again, but I would pass on the food. Overpriced, and I wasn't a huge fan. We had to find somewhere else to go afterwards to get something savory before shopping. The interior is incredibly spacious but most of the tables were marked as reserved.
After having dinner with my friend at Lao Hu Tong, we wanted to end our night with dessert. Sayfani happened to be very close, so we decided to check it out. The place looked very familiar, and I realized I had seen it on social media before. The interior was spacious and absolutely stunning. I immediately fell in love with the aesthetic and overall vibes of the place. We ordered the iced strawberry matcha ($8) and the San Sebastian Pistachio Cheesecake ($11.99). The items came out fairly quickly. The desserts weren't bad, but they weren't particularly mind-blowing either. The strawberry portion of the matcha reminded me of Nesquik strawberry powder I used to drink as a kid. It didn't have that fresh strawberry puree taste I was hoping for. I was also expecting a stronger matcha flavor. It tasted more like strawberry milk to me. Again, not bad, but definitely not my favorite. The cheesecake was interesting as well. It looked like a Basque cheesecake, but the texture was thick and gooey rather than light and creamy. It was also a very bright green, which caught me off guard. I also felt that it was a bit pricey for dessert, especially for the slice of San Sebastian Pistachio Cheesecake we ordered. I noticed that many tables had a pot of tea, and I've heard from friends who've been to Sayfani that their lattes are good. I'll definitely need to go back and try some of their other items.
This was my first experience with Yemeni coffee and I am absolutely smitten. The latte was absolutely delicious, so smooth and the flavor was balanced perfectly with milk. The chicken bread roll was tasty, if a bit dry, but it could have been because we went there a little later in the afternoon. The service was quick and efficient, and the folks working there were very kind in answering our questions as we'd never been to a Yemeni coffee shop before and wanted to ask about different flavors. My partner and I had been hoping for a new spot to try where we could order some coffee and a snack, and spend a couple of hours playing some small tabletop games. Sayfani delivered, with plenty of seating in comfortable chairs, which is generally my biggest gripe of any coffee shop - so often they opt for hard chairs that my back just can't handle for more than a half hour or so. These chairs were very comfortable and we spent an enjoyable two hours or so with our coffee, snacks, and games. The esthetic is very bright, clean, and generally welcoming. I will say I wish I had brought my Loop earplugs to help dampen some of the music and noise. Initially when we got there the place was basically empty (as seen in the photo), but as it filled up, there is not a lot in the decoration that would absorb sound so it does get fairly loud. Had I brought the earplugs I think it would have been more comfortable. That said, this place isn't too far from me and I plan to return! Earplugs in hand, ready for delicious coffee. :)
Amazing ambience and choice of tea and snacks. I love their Adeni chai and pistachio milk cake. Just yummm. The service is great too, smiling faces and patient folks! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to sit down for tea and snacks
Say gain is truly a gorgeous setting. Amazing music playing in the back drop And extremely peaceful. BUT the coffee was Fantastic along with a sambosa also delish! Give this gem a try
Bright open ambience. Volume level wasn't bad so you can have a conversation with people. Decent amount of seating as its fairly large for a cafe. Delicious sweet and savory options available. There are things like samosas, shawarma wraps available too. Pastries can cost as much as $10 for one item, teas run about $6.50 but you can share it with 2 other people since the carafe is a decent size. Overall great spot to check out. I'll be back to try more items.
We love coming here to meet and catch up with friends. The drinks are good. We love their teas and desserts. You really can't go wrong with anything you order from here. The pastries are good not overly sweet.
For my 2nd time here I had one of those fruit desserts. I picked the blackberry one. When I broke into the chocolate encasing, I dug into a gelatin-like filling make with chantilly cream, almost like pots de creme. It's delicious, the sweetness is mild and not overdone. The tangerine ginger tea is also comforting.
If you're anywhere near Schaumburg and haven't been to Sayfani Coffee yet, you're missing out. Their coffee refreshers are honestly some of the best I've had, super clean, refreshing, and actually energizing without feeling heavy. Perfect for a quick pick-me-up or something different from your usual order. But what really sets them apart is the staff. Every single time I walk in, I'm greeted with genuine warmth and great energy. It's rare to find a place where the service consistently makes your day better. Great drinks, even better people. Sayfani is doing it right!
Sayfani is such a beautiful place. So cute! Customer service was not the best. The lady running the counter was kinda rude. The pastries were delicious!! The matcha was very watered down, not something I'd recommend.

Second day coming in a row! Such a great welcoming environment! The music is a perfect volume, it's super clean and light, the coffee is great, snack options are vast, outlets, all along the walls which is very helpful! Overall, such a great place to study or to socialize. It had a great mix of people working and doing homework and people talking and having a great time! read more

Sayfani Coffee House is a wonderful new addition to the Schaumburg coffee scene! It is located in a strip mall but the inside is very large and beautifully designed. I visited on a Sunday slightly after open and staff was definitely still setting up for the day with items in the display case & taking chairs off tables. The staff member had great recommendations based on preference of hot or cold drinks. I got the Honey Lavender Latte which came in a beautiful reusable cup. The espresso had a great caffeine kick and flavor was nice. My husband got the Erda Chai Latte which was ok. It wasn't quite sweet nor spiced and flavor was subtle. Either way this is a beautiful spot to catch up with friends, work remote, or enjoy a solo date. Check out Sayfani Coffee House when passing by! read more

Staff was super friendly! Lattes themselves were pretty good. The cafe itself was kind of cold inside so we did have to leave at one point. But other than that I would go again! Comparable to Haraz cafe on Lake st. Very cute layout inside!!! read more
It was like stepping into a country in the Middle East. We ordered a couple of desserts and chamomile tea. The tea complemented the sweetness of the dessert. The tea also came with two refills. The staff were very helpful with menu related questions and even provided us a private seating area so we can comfortably chat. I could not think of a better way to end the night. read more

We stopped at Sayfani for coffee after lunch. Parking is ample since it's located in a big plaza. The interior is nice and large, and the decor is similar to other Yemeni spots like Arwa with ample gold and woodsy tones. My wife ordered a Kashmiri chai, and I got a Finjan latte. My wife thought the chai had too much cardamom. The Finjan latte was pretty good; the spices were not overpowering, and it wasn't overly sweet. Pricing was on the higher side. Service was excellent. read more
After the disappointment at Coffee Haus, we discovered that this place was in the same area. When we walked in, the vibe felt very authentic. It's a Middle Eastern cafe. It was very busy too. So, about 98% of the customers sitting around and walking in looked very Middle Eastern. No teenagers loitering around. I ordered the Moroccan mint tea and pistachio cheesecake. The Moroccan mint tea was not overwhelming, it's a nice drink to sip casually. They definitely know how to balance the tastes here. Even the pistachio cheesecake was very creamy and smooth. It wasn't overly sweet. Only downside was that the desserts were a bit expensive. It was like $10 for this one slice of cheesecake. Customer service was friendly. read more

I just wanted to drop a quick note after finally making it into your coffee shop today. I've driven past countless times, and if I'm being honest, the storefront never quite grabbed my attention, often leading me straight to the familiar drive thrus nearby. But I had a bit of extra time today and decided to venture in, and I'm so glad I did. What a wonderful surprise awaited me. From the moment I stepped inside, I was truly impressed. Despite being quite busy, the interior was absolutely gorgeous and felt incredibly clean and inviting and your staff Absolutely top notch so friendly and welcoming, which really made the visit special. The dessert display was a feast for the eyes, such an amazing variety to choose from. I was secretly hoping to see a few more milk cakes, but everything looked absolutely delicious. I have to highlight the pistachio cheesecake it was simply divine. So incredibly rich and flavorful, and I loved the generous amount of pistachio topping. That was definitely the standout for me. On the other hand, the Ferrero cheesecake wasn't quite what I expected. The texture was a bit more gelatinous and chewy than I prefer for a cheesecake, which wasn't really to my taste. The mango pastry, which was shaped just like a mango, was really fun and tasty. I think it would be an absolute hit with kids, or anyone looking for a playful treat. I also tried the Spanish latte, which was delicious, but if you opt for a large, it only comes in a to go cup, and it didn't have the lovely latte art. It was also a tad on the sweeter side for me, but still very enjoyable. A new personal favorite for me has to be the karak chai it was incredibly refreshing and just perfect. I'll definitely be ordering that again. My son also really enjoyed the strawberry matcha, it was a fantastic experience once I finally decided to step inside. read more

Great Place! Desserts were spot on, highly praising that the desserts we tried weren't too sweet. Service was awesome and the staff in general were very welcoming! Very clean store. Being someone from out of town, definitely worth giving this place a try! read more
Today is 9/1/2025. Sayfani is a Yemeni coffee and dessert place. Yemeni cafes are a current trend. The coffee and desserts are yummy and unique and good quality. The most excellent part is the place is so beautiful with super high gloss marble tables and floors, and it's very bright in here, so it's very pleasing. I love how they decorated the interior with lots of creative lights and it stays super spotless as a cleaning staff goes around and make ms sure everything is spotless and shiny. Even the waiting room area of the outside to come inside is beautiful and spotless. It is super clean and beautiful. This place Only opened it up about ten days ago. They added all these high gloss marble miles, and high gloss marble table tops so, they will be able to maintain this cleanliness for a very long time. It's so aesthetically beautiful and the seats are so comfortable, but I would love to enjoy being here every day if I could. Bathrooms are gender neutral. Beautiful and clean and has a high class cafe feel experience bc of the decor and furniture and private room if you reserve it. read more

Love this coffee house! Modern, open space, large place for delicious coffee and offers different ones like pistachio coffee and more. The desserts are outstanding! Unique, fresh and tasty! Finally someone was thinking out of the box and gave us a great experience having coffee other than a boring, clone like the others. I highly recommend and I'll be visiting often! read more
