Sana’a Cafe is a hidden gem! The food is incredibly tasty, and every dish is prepared with care. The milk tea, in particular, stands out — rich and flavorful, it’s a must-try. The pots and cups used for serving are delicate and add to the authentic experience. The staff here are super friendly and always provide excellent service with a smile. The atmosphere is cozy, and the place is impeccably clean, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or enjoying tea, Sana’a Cafe is a delightful experience that shouldn’t be missed.

Worked all day from here on a full pot of adeni chai (served on a warmer!). The cheese fatayer and spinach cheese fatayer made were toasted up for breakfast. Espresso is great. Clean bathrooms, friendly but not intrusive staff, strong WiFi, plugs and tables. What more can you ask for?

Sanaa Cafe is truly a hidden gem! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with beautiful decor that reflects authentic Yemeni culture. The coffee is rich and flavorful, and the fresh juices are absolutely delicious. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. If you’re looking for a cozy place to relax, enjoy quality drinks, and experience great hospitality, Sanaa Cafe is the perfect spot. Highly recommended — I will definitely be coming back!

Great vibe and nice that they took over another corner cafe spot. I loved the decor and the mural. The honeycomb bread was fresh and delicious. Cardamom coffee was also really good and strong. It was a relaxing place to catch up on some work. They have a lot of 2 seaters which seem good for catching up with a friend.

A cut above the rest. The coffee is phenomenal and you could go back multiple times and still find new pastries and baked goods to enjoy. The selection is vast, all delicious. A wonderful atmosphere for a digital worker with an area with outlets, even better area to sit and share a drink with a friend from the couches while the rest of the world goes by

This is a nice hidden gem that you wont realize how good it is until you step inside and try their chai and dessert. We got the Adani Chai and the baklava. Both were excellent. The decor feels you took a quick trip to Yemen and back, and the service was above and beyond. I highly recommend you give them a visit if you are in the area.

Been here twice, and both times have been amazing! Great drinks, the pastries are wonderful as well, and the vibe is cozy. The employees are always respectful, I wish I could come here every day! Their pink drink was especially great, tastes better than the Starbucks version! Come here if you have the chance you won't regret it!

A wonderful oasis experience. Came on early Saturday morning. Nice to have the place to ourselves👍. The Honeycomb bread was amazing. They're like little cream puffs, but with cream cheese, which light honey drizzle on top. Not too sweet, which make you wanna eat more. Coffee was delicious. The small pot was perfect for two people. Super friendly staff. Ambiance offers an escape to unwind from the hustle bustle.

Sana’a Cafe is such a gem in Oakland, right off 8th and Broadway. Street-metered parking is available, and it’s always worth the stop. The atmosphere is amazing—cozy, warm, and thoughtfully designed. The interior decor is beautiful, with really nice furniture and a lot of attention to detail. It’s a smaller space, which makes it perfect for working or studying rather than large social groups. Calm, comfortable, and inviting without feeling crowded. The Adeni chai is consistently excellent every single time—rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. If you’re looking for a chill spot with great vibes and reliable quality, this place never disappoints.
