Stunning space with delicious, and unique coffee/tea drinks. The staff are very warm and welcoming and always remember my order. I often find myself grabbing a chai to go, and wishing I had time to stay and enjoy the ambiance more often. LOVE Sama.

I have visited this café multiple times with my wife, as she enjoys their vanilla latte. As someone who regularly drinks coffee and has experience with authentic Turkish coffee and chai from my time working in Saudi Arabia, I find the Turkish coffee, cappuccino, and latte here to be below expectations.

While the ambiance is pleasant, the pricing does not align with the quality of the coffee or the level of service provided. Several staff members consistently appear dismissive, and my mobile number is often not entered for the rewards program. Additionally, the suggested gratuity feels disproportionate to the overall service experience.

Beautiful coffee shop with a relaxed environment. The coffee was delicious and the pastries look amazing. There is not a restroom in the shop but there is one right around the corner with a code.

Extremely cute cafe in the heart of san mateo. Loved the pistachio came there. Can have it any number of times. The coffee was pretty good as well. I loved the seats by the window.

The food is incredible, and the coffee “Gold Digger” was simply delicious. The cozy ambiance and relaxing vibe make it a great place to unwind.

A beautiful little café with a warm, peaceful atmosphere. Arabic-style tea served in golden pots, delicate cups, and the aroma of spices in the air. They have Turkish delights and baklava — everything feels made with heart.

Really sweet cashier and delicious Rose cardamom honey latte. $8 and my friend got the Turkish coffee with anise. Solid place 🫶🏽

No toilet but everything else was great. Beautiful exterior design. No music in the cafe and nice quiet place for laptop work.

Got a Turkish coffee with cardamom and a pastry. The coffee was over roasted and they added way too much cardamom making the coffee unpleasant. The coffee cup was peeling and the pastry was very dry. And yes, I've had Turkish coffee before and the taste was definitely off. Pro tip, avoid sitting outside as it can get quite noisy.
