Walking into Sana Café in San Francisco feels immediately calming. The space is warm, with soft lighting and a relaxed neighborhood vibe. It’s the kind of café where you naturally feel like sitting down, opening your laptop, and getting some work done without feeling rushed. I ordered an Americano, a za’atar croissant, and a chocolate croissant and honestly, the za’atar croissant completely stood out. It was something entirely new for me and genuinely memorable. The croissant itself was flaky and buttery, but what really made it special was the za’atar: earthy, herby, slightly tangy, and deeply aromatic. Paired with the Americano, it turned into a near-perfect combination. What I appreciated most was how cohesive the entire experience felt. Nothing felt rushed, over-styled, or forced. The food, the coffee, and the ambiance all worked together effortlessly. It’s the kind of café that doesn’t try too hard—and that’s exactly why it works so well.

First time here at Sanaa coffee. I ordered the Arabic light roast coffee. It was good. Service was very good and friendly staff Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere; good place to work or relax Pastries like baklava and pistachio milk cake Will definitely be back.

Sana'a Cafe offers a nice quiet environment to unwind and enjoy a beverage and desert. The decor is interesting and the ambience of the lighting, wall color, and furniture is comforting. The Chai tea is a little to sweet for my taste but it was pleasantly good. I definitely will return.

It’s nice to have a Yemeni cafe in SF! The menu is impressive here, a lot of drinks and desserts. I was not too impressed by the iced adeni chai, compared to the other Yemeni cafe’s I’ve been to - it felt a bit watered down. Willing to give them another shot some time though. The Nutella cheesecake was good.

Lovely space serving Yemeni coffee and tea, as well as a variety of Middle Eastern and classic Western sweet treats. There's plenty of seating, and the space is quite cozy, although a bit too dark for my liking to stay in and work for the entire day. I got an iced matcha (wanted to keep it classic and had too much coffee that day) and their baklava. The matcha was solid, although a bit too milky for my taste; we also got it unsweetened but it still tasted quite sweet, which wasn't my favorite. The baklava was also quite tasty, but I didn't love the extra glaze of icing they added on top -- it certainly added to the presentation, but baklava is already so sweet that I wasn't particularly excited to have anything added on. The service was speedy and friendly, although the barista was chatting on the phone throughout our interaction (and for most of the few hours that I was there). They seemed to be able to balance their conversation while supporting customers perfectly fine, so I didn't particularly have an issue with it, but it wasn't my favorite.
