Sana’a Cafe

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.

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.

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!

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.

Amazingly beautiful! Everything tastes great at Sana’a Cafe. This was my 1 st visit early in the morning and I had matcha and Dubai chocolate cake. I will definitely come back! Thank you very much for great service and tasty cakes!
