I ordered for delivery, not expecting much. I got a chicken sandwich and a mint lemonade and everything wasssss soooooo gooood! The mint lemonade so refreshing and not sweet! So happy I discovered this place close to my work!

I usually come and get the breakfast sandwiches here, which are amazing, but my experience today was underwhelming to say the least. finally came on a weekend to try the shakshuka, only to be disappointed that the $17 dish was the size of my fist. in addition, i tried the $9 yemeni coffee to be served in comically tiny glasses as well. we left still very hungry and out too much money. the portion size for these two considering the price is not justified, especially for the shakshuka considering none of the ingredients are very expensive.

Yafa is such a gem. I’ve had the lamb haneef, the chicken sandwich and today, the BAT. Let me tell you. For such a simple sandwich, it was awesome. 10/10 hands down! The turkey used is flavorful and not the typical salty turkey bacon in the store. Paired it with the Hibiscus drink with rose. Don’t stop with the quality Yafa 👏🏽

This place is special. Cozy, delicious food, great coffee, great vibes. It just feels nice to be in there and it's a place I find even better when its crowded as the people all seem just really cool, as in cool-not cool-cool (NOT a "scene" is what I mean)

“If you’re looking for an authentic Yemeni experience with a wonderful ambiance, I highly recommend visiting Yafa Café! The place boasts and charming decor that beautifully reflects Yemeni culture. The staff there are absolutely fantastic—professional, friendly, and they make you feel right at home.
I tried the Yemeni breakfast, and it was incredibly delicious, capturing the essence of traditional flavors perfectly. For coffee lovers, the café offers an amazing selection of authentic Yemeni coffee that will captivate you with its aroma and unique taste.
My experience at Yafa Café was exceptional, and I enjoyed every moment I spent there. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a combination of heritage, authenticity, and outstanding hospitality.”
They are pros…the baristas make consistent drinks by the book. Quick, no nonsense service. The food (chicken cutlet sandwich) was Above what you expect in a coffee house. One of my favorite coffee house Environments….comfortable warm and casual place!
