Crema's Take

Tucked away in Hollywood, this Yemeni café offers a refreshing escape from LA's typical coffee scene with fragrant traditional brews like strong spiced chai and carefully roasted Turkish-style coffee alongside freshly made pastries like pistachio-laden treats and savory beef ftayer. The warm, unhurried atmosphere and thoughtful cultural aesthetic make it the kind of place where you naturally linger, whether you're catching up with friends early in the morning or winding down late into the evening. Reviews rave about both the quality and authenticity—from the rich Mofawar coffee to the homemade pastries—all at prices that feel genuinely fair.

Since it is a Yemeni place, I assumed they have halal food and that was correct. I tried the beef ftayer it is a beef pastry and it was yummy and fresh. Prices were reasonable. Good service and some of the staff speaks Arabic. I liked it so I passed twice by the place.

This cafe serves Yemeni chai and delicious pastries. The chai is nice and strong, a lot of pistachio flavored desserts that is a great balance of pistachio flavor and sweetness. I’d recommend the cheesecake and the tres leches styled cake. I went twice for events nearby, they’re open late and great for a little treat or snack. Will be coming back and bringing friends with future shows or event nearby.

Turkish style coffee and teas. I ordered the hot chocolate along with the Mofawar coffee. The smell was amazing. Their carrot cake was also delicious. Vibe is super chill, you definitely feel the middle eastern vibe. The presentation of the drinks is top notch. Everything on a fancy platter.

We were in LA for the weekend and exploring the city we came across this cafe. We were looking for something different than typical cup of latte or coffee. We loved their culturally diverse offerings for teas and coffee and the taste was amazing and the spices make a great surprise. The staff were super friendly, and I took a moment to think about my order and they happily waited and made suggestions. Even after my order I wanted to change it they had no problem to make the adjustment at no additional cost. If you are in town, I say give this place a try. Experience different type of coffee with strong flavors and amazing flavor of different spices. We didn’t get the opportunity to eat their sweets, but my mouth was watery for their sweets! Let us know how they taste! I guess I didn’t like that the bathroom was locked and I understand what they are preventing, but maybe introduce a different system in place just to complete the customer experience.

Sana’a Café in Hollywood is such a hidden gem right in the heart of Hollywood! It’s the kind of spot you stumble upon while walking and instantly want to stay awhile. The architecture and interior design are absolutely beautiful — modern yet warm, with a cozy, inviting vibe that makes you forget the city bustle outside. The staff here are incredibly kind and welcoming, which adds so much to the experience. I grabbed one of their bakery goods and a hot green tea — perfect combo for a chilly November day. The music was mellow and relaxing, just the right backdrop for a laid-back afternoon. While there’s no dedicated parking lot (definitely a walk-up kind of place), it’s totally worth the visit. This would be an ideal hangout spot for a small group of friends to catch up, unwind, and enjoy some good vibes. I’ll definitely be coming back!
