Reem’s
2901 Mission St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in San Francisco's Mission District, this Palestinian-inspired café wraps you in genuine warmth and the irresistible aromas of freshly baked man'oushe and house-made cardamom cold brew. Beyond excellent specialty coffees, it's equally celebrated for its rustic Mediterranean food—think crispy falafel wraps and chocolate chip halawa cookies—making it the rare spot that equally satisfies serious coffee lovers and hungry guests seeking a leisurely sit or quick grab. The whole experience feels like a stylish, California-refined take on Middle Eastern hospitality, where you're as likely to linger over wine and mezze as you are to pop in for an expertly crafted cold brew.”

Reem’s California Mission is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re embraced by the warmth of Palestinian hospitality and the incredible aromas coming from the kitchen. The food is outstanding - every dish is made with such care and authenticity. The mana’eesh is perfectly crispy and flavorful, the falafel is some of the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot!), and don’t even get me started on the za’atar bread. Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and bursting with flavor. But what really sets Reem’s apart is the heart behind it. You can feel the love and pride in every aspect - from the quality ingredients to the thoughtful service to the beautiful way they celebrate Palestinian culture and cuisine. The staff is friendly and welcoming, always happy to explain dishes or make recommendations. This place is doing something really special - serving incredible food while creating community and sharing an important piece of Palestinian heritage. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a meal, Reem’s delivers every single time. Absolutely can’t recommend it enough!
Casual eatery with great food! We had the chicken flatbread and the muhammara - both were delicious. They had beer and wine also available. You pay for food at the counter and they come to your table with it when it’s ready.
Order: - Falafel Wrap: my go to - The Pali Cali: delicious - Cheese Man'oushe: ordered it with cheese and without, love both - Chocolate Chip Halawa Cookie: to die for - Cardamom Cold Brew Coffee: classic Arabic coffee with a new twist Notes: Whenever I feel nostalgic and miss Kuwait, I go to Reem’s mission. Great music and atmosphere. I’ve dined in and ordered take out, always delivers. To not skip the cookie
Tucked in San Francisco’s Mission District, this cozy Mediterranean spot blends rustic charm with vibrant flavors. Guests enjoy mezze, wood-fired kebabs, and fresh seafood, paired with local wines and craft cocktails. Warm service and lively energy make it a favorite for both casual nights and celebrations.
Stylish, tasteful and relaxed sophistication. A very California take on Middle Eastern classics. Falafel Salad is satisfyingly good, with enough of a savory crunch to satiate even the most avid of meat eaters. Perfect for a friendly catch up or a first date with someone very health conscious.
