★★★★★ 5.0 Pouria Rad · Feb 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cafe Aftab is an absolute gem and easily one of the best cafes in Tarzana. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care and intention behind everything. The space is clean, modern, and welcoming, with a calm vibe that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy your coffee instead of rushing out the door. The coffee is outstanding. Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced, and clearly made by people who actually know and love coffee. Whether you’re ordering a latte, cappuccino, or something more creative, it’s consistently excellent. The food is just as impressive. Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and flavors that feel thoughtfully put together. It’s the kind of menu where you can tell nothing is random. Every item feels curated, not generic. What really sets Cafe

The baklava!! perfect amount of sweet not too much. It might be the best one I’ve ever tried! Avocado toast was really good and fresh Very cute cafe owner is warm and pleasant. We had a good time.

I just found this place randomly and turns out it opened 2 weeks ago. Everything looks so nice and like they’ve been running longer than a couple weeks. It has enough room to sit and work with their WiFi. I got the Mediterranean salad and it was super yummy. Has a clean bathroom! And the woman who owns it is so nice, it’s refreshing to go to a coffee shop with friendly customer service. Very cute place to support local business. I’ll be back!!

I had such a great experience at Cafe Aftab! The Pistachio Gold smoothie was absolutely delicious, and the avocado toast was really fresh and tasty. The Tehran Classic sandwich was also very flavorful and satisfying. It’s a very kids-friendly place — my son had the hot chocolate and he loved it! ☕️ And the internet is fast, which is always a plus. Highly recommend this cozy spot!

★★★★★ 5.0 Asher Stolberg · Feb 2026

Cafe Aftab just opened right next to the gym we work at, and it has been such a blessing to have a delicious coffee, pastry, and sandwich shop so close. Everyone who works here is so kind and welcoming. The atmosphere is perfect whether you want to just grab a quick cup or coffee or sit down to work for a couple of hours. My favourite thing so far is the Sunrise Bowl which is delicious! Highly recommend
