    Chai and almond croissant which
    Azsure D.

    It has been a year since my last review. I have to say, as a Yelp Regular, this is legit my favorite coffee shop. I brought a gal pal recently and just look at this gorgeous plate of chai, and almond croissant which is my new obsession. And service is consistently top notch!!

    This is a small career in a strip mall in Allen they carry a range of pasties and offer a lot of coffee options. The premium croissant with pistachios was flaky, buttery and sweet. So good! I also had a coffee with cardamom. I usually have to add sugar and cream to my coffee, but this didn't need any addition. Yum! My wife loved her choices as well and we already picked some items we qant to try when we come back.

    Pistachio latte and coco mango though

    First off shout out to the baristas that work there, they are so friendly and energetic which really made my day. Their ambiance is decent, clean place and lots of small tables. My friend got their coco mango refresher and I got a hot pistachio latte. My latte was alright, I couldn't really taste the pistachio so it felt like a regular latte. Loved my friend's coco mango though, it was not overly sweet, had great fruity flavor and was so refreshing.

    I loved coming to this cafe. Loved the turkish coffee and the beehive treat. They also have cakes and croissants. My husband had a latte and they have teas and hot cocoa. Relaxed atmosphere and very friendly. Definitely want to go back and try other drinks and treats.

    Love this spot. Great drinks and friendly staff with plenty of seating! They are open late for post dinner chai runs :) Plus they had bracelets for sale supporting the watermelon cause so I got some and they are very cute.

    Absolutely love this place. Turkish coffee is . All the other coffees I've gotten are good as well. I love the cakes; the pistachio one is my favorite. The barista fellow is always pleasant and I love having a coffee shop like this close by.

    Very light and beautiful inside!

    I've been thinking about this place and I finally made it here this afternoon before the rush hour traffic. It's a very spacious coffee shop located next to Spazo's. I specifically wanted to try their Rose water cake along with their coffee. I asked the nice young man what's good here and he suggested couple options and I decided on Turkish coffee which I had before. It's very strong, aromatic and good and there is lots of it. Rose water cake is good too despite the fact that I'm not a fan of pistachios. I'm very thankful of the Yelpers who gave this establishment good reviews, bc they didn't disappoint me! Now, I have a new coffee shop to come to and I'm all for supporting local businesses.

    Great local cafe with Yemani coffee, tea, and desserts! I enjoyed the Adeni tea ($5) and spinach feta croissant ($5.75). The staff was friendly and helpful. The Adeni tea is made in a big batch with evaporated milk, so when I originally asked to sub oatmilk, they explained why it wasn't an option and offered me a sample of the Adeni tea. I ended up getting it and was so glad I did. The temperature was perfect - nice and hot. It reminded me of something similar to Hong Kong milk tea but with cardamon. They get their croissants from a local bakery, and the spinach and feta croissant was ok but a little pricy. I didn't get to try their desserts, but I definitely want to come back for them. The cafe lighting is a little odd - the counter has super bright lighting but most of the seating area has really dim lighting so it wasn't consistent through the space and felt a little off. Overall a great place to work or meet a friend. Can't wait to come back and try more Yemani food and drink!

    This was the perfect late night coffee shop! The ambiance was great, as it was quiet even though there were probably 10 other customers while we were there. It's a great late night option, and is an awesome Yemeni coffee shop. I'd love to go back with more people and try a pot of their Chai, or something else as well. He said his coffee tasted great, and I wasn't a huge fan of my tea, but I think that was more preference than anything else. Staff were friendly and offered to give us suggestions on the menu, and our drinks came out PIPING hot!

    This cafe is very close to my house, and I saw all the excellent reviews and had to come! Sadly, it didn't meet my expectations after being hyped up by so many positive reviews. I ordered one of their signature lattes, and I thought it was a bit too bland and watery for me. I also wanted to try their decadent-looking pistachio cake, but unfortunately they didn't have cakes ready that early when I visited. I fully intend on visiting again to change my mind because I can tell this is a neighborhood favorite, but for now, this is my review. I'll try to visit later in the day so I can try the pistachio cake and their chai!

    Yummy tea and cake.

    Superb and different than the usual. I really enjoy the snacks here and the tea is wonderful. It is like stepping in to another world for a half hour.

    Turkish coffee
    V B.

    Sayfani Cafe is a hidden gem in Plano! I absolutely love their Turkish coffee--rich, smooth, and full of flavor. It's the real deal. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff always makes you feel welcome--one of my favorite spots to relax and enjoy a great cup.

    Saigon tea and Lotus cheesecake
    Skyla L.

    One night I was searching for something sweet, used Yelp, and came across this ABSOLUTE GEM. Middle Eastern (Yemeni) dessert and coffee/tea shop. The friendliest two folks I've met in a while greeted me and walked me through all the dessert and drink selections as they were all new to me. I settled on an herbal tea (Saigon) and the Lotus Biscoff cheesecake. Holy moly!! I'm not even a dessert person but this was PHENOMENAL. I'm a tea snob, brewing my own with loose leaf tea at home. They serve loose leaf here in the cutest lil tea set....mmmm this tea was cozy. Lovely cinnamon lemongrass flavor. Perfectly complimented the dessert. This feels like a perfect self-care, love-yourself kind of treat. Nice, quiet ambience. Folks here studying and working and quietly chatting. I will quickly become a regular here.

I opted for the Trio, which is always a great value. I got the Croque Monsieur, which was perfectly grilled with melty cheese and savory ham, along with the Pasta Salad. The pasta salad was fresh and flavorful, a nice lighter counterpoint to the sandwich. My companion went for the Chicken Friand, and they were very happy with their choice - a flaky pastry filled with creamy chicken goodness. The food came out quickly, and everything was fresh and well-prepared, just what you expect from La Madeleine. The self-serve bread and jam are always a nice touch, too! The atmosphere is consistently warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. It's a great spot if you're looking for something a bit different from your standard fast-casual, with a touch of French country charm. My only reason for not giving it five stars is that it's a chain, so it lacks that unique local flair, but for what it is, it's excellent. We'll definitely be back!

Sloppy, disorganized, uncaring and boarder-line hostile staff. Our brunch outing was ruined. None of us will return. I do not recommend. Plus their tomato sauce definitely comes out of a can.
