Oh, coffee enthusiasts, have I found a gem for you! If you haven't treated yourself to the **pistachio latte** from **Sana'a Cafe**, you are in for a delightful surprise! This little café has truly mastered the art of crafting a latte that's not only visually stunning but also a flavor experience that will dance on your taste buds. The moment you take a sip, you're greeted with the creamy richness of the latte, perfectly complemented by the nutty essence of pistachios. It's like a warm hug in a cup! The balance of flavors is spot-on; the sweetness is just right, and the nutty undertones elevate it to a whole new level. Plus, it's topped with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios that adds a lovely crunch--talk about the perfect finishing touch! The atmosphere at Sana'a Cafe is just as inviting as the drinks. It's cozy, with a welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. Whether you're there to catch up with friends or just enjoy some "me time," this place has got you covered. And for my Arabic-speaking friends, let me share something cute: **"صباح الخير! هذا اللاتيه هو الأفضل!"** (Good morning! This latte is the best!) So, if you're in the neighborhood, don't miss out on this delicious pistachio latte. Your taste buds will thank you!

I've never had Yemeni coffee or food before but this was a great experience. I like ginger flavored things so the cardamom in the coffee was a novel experience. The pistachio tiramisu wasn't too sweet and had a good light flavor.

At night, Sana'a Cafe is a hub of energy in a corner of Lake Forest that's mostly quiet. This place is one of the only few that's open as late as it is, so it gets quite busy later into the night. My friends and I got here at around 9:30 PM and we could see how busy and bustling it was inside at 10 PM when we were parking. There is plenty of parking available as this is a shopping center. The store is quite busy at night, and it stayed that way even when my group and I were on our way out around 11 PM. I've also come here before during the day, both earlier for morning tea and later into the day for a pick-me-up and it was less crowded. It's really at night when this place becomes super busy, at least in my experience. There are quite a few tables but seating still feels a bit limited, especially since it's so popular. However, I've never had an issue, often finding a spot after waiting a bit, even when my group was larger. The best seating is on the right when you first enter with the plush seats and bigger tables but they are sometimes reserved for groups of four or more depending on how busy they get. There's also outside seating and they have those heating lamps to help stay warm. The highlight here, and what you should really order, is the Adeni Chai. I recommend buying a teapot (they have a medium and large). The teapot comes with a little candle and warmer and the drink truly stays hot until the end (it's actually really hot at the very end since it's closer to the flame!). You can adjust the sweetness when ordering, and they provide you with cute little teacups. The large kettle is good enough for a group of 4 (obviously, adjust as needed and how much tea you want to drink!). I'm not even a hot drink person and this just hits REALLY hits the spot. It's spiced and brewed to perfection. I've been to a similar Yemeni cafe and I really do think this location steeps their tea in such a way where it's even more flavorful and just... it's SO good. I'm also usually a coffee drinker but the Adeni Chai is still what I order every time. I've gotten their pistachio latte and, while it was really delicious, it was quite pricey for how much you get so I'm sticking to the teas. Their Yemeni Black Tea is also really good. It has cloves and mint but, while both were in the tea we ordered, neither of those flavors were really there or overpowering. It was just a really good, strong black tea. This was a great second choice since we ordered two teapots. I've tried the pistachio, caramel, and biscoff milk cake. They really just taste like tres leches (in the best way) with their respective flavoring. I would recommend picking whichever flavor sounds better to you. I love biscoff and so of the three, that one is my favorite. Their sweets are a bit pricey and not really what I come for. Service was wonderful, everyone is super kind and welcoming, and the vibes are just right. They also have a few sets of cards, dominoes, and a chess board available for patrons. My friends and I had a great time and I'm so glad they're open as late as they are because it's a place we keep coming back to.

The staff the environment the drinks and the most important the dessert are just amazing you have to try it all highly recommend this coffee shop 100/100

I had the pleasure of stopping by for a quick visit and tried the Adeni Chai and some honeycomb bread stuffed with cheese and drizzled with some syrup. Both were pretty good! The cheese in the honeycomb was a little tangy for me, but with the piping hot cup of chai, it was delicious. I loved the spices of the chai along with the touch of evaporated milk. It was such a treat for the taste buds - I'll be back for more of that drink! I also like how the place sells beans and a wide assortment of pastries (both sweet and savory). Friendly service and very relaxing environment makes this a great place to stop by!

Wide selection of cakes, muffins, and savory items. They also have a couple honeycomb options. Regular cheese and jalapeño cheese. They can heat up the savory items so it's warm when you consume them. I got a few: potato, cheese, and spinach. I tried the earl grey tea and saffron muffin. Very good. Employees are friendly and plenty of parking. There's a lot of seating too. Eight tables inside and about ten outside.

The place is fancy with Middle Easter vibe. They have variety of desserts and breads/bun both meat and cheese options. I didn't find any vegan options though. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. We tried their Adeni Chai (9/10) and the Jalapeño honey combo (10/10). Would definitely visit again!

Sana'a Cafe is such in a gem in this area. Not only do they open very late but they have one of the best drinks and desserts. I met with some friends here on a late Friday night to hang out. It was all our first time and we were surprised how busy it was. As we stood in line waiting to place our order, we were in awe of all the different speciality desserts they had. They had cakes, brownies, cookies, and many other pastries. We came very late that night and I was surprised how many dessert items were still available. There were lots of pistachio items which I loved. I ended up getting a hot chocolate and shared a pistachio baklava and pistachio milk cake with one other person. The hot chocolate was well done. The two desserts were both good. I liked that the milk cake wasn't too sweet and was really good. The baklava was also good and everyone enjoyed it. I also got a sip of their pistachio latte which was also really good. There is a lots of seating inside and outside of this cafe. It's such a great place to hang out at. However it does get really busy so grabbing a seat can be difficult. We were able to grab a table outside. You order at the register and they bring out the item to you. I wouldn't definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
