Cozy Yemeni Cafe with excellent tea and coffee plus lots of yummy bakery items. Located in a large strip mall with a great corner location. The restaurant has plenty of indoor seating. Additionally, there's patio seating area. Unfortunately, it was raining the day we visited. There's plenty of free self parking in private lot. Luckily, we were able to find an indoor table. The super friendly staff were warm and welcoming. We placed our order and everything was prepared freshly and brought out. The hot tea was very flavorful. All the pastry items were top notch and very yummy.

Lots of delicious food and the desserts are amazing. Came for the first snacks and coffee and pistachio latte. The crew was super helpful and kind giving recommendations and replacing one of our orders. The place is located in a shopping center next to a wing stop. I’d recommend coming back again!

Fantastic! We are picky coffee drinkers and this place has delivered over a couple of years now. The fact that there is always a cardamom, clove and cinnamon component is a huge bonus. We had the knafeh once again and the nutty flavors definitely were on top on anything else. No need to book a flight to Istanbul for this delicious treat. It's right here.

Hands down one of the BEST coffee spots in Lake Forest! Sanaa Cafe absolutely kills it every single time. The baristas are beyond amazing, insanely friendly, welcoming, and genuinely some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They remember customers, take their time with each order, and make you feel valued from the moment you walk in. The service is flawless, fast, and full of positive energy. You can tell the team truly cares about quality and customer experience. The drinks are always perfect, and the atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting. This place sets the standard for what great service should look like. If you’re anywhere near Lake Forest and NOT coming here, you’re seriously missing out. 10/10 across the board highly, highly recommend!
