"Finally made it to this famous café in Berkeley! The exterior alone is a total head-turner. Came specifically for their traditional Arabic booza (stretchy) ice cream and it was absolutely worth the drive. It pairs perfectly with a bold shot of espresso topped with pistachios. Happy hormones activated! Love the ambience and how welcoming it is for students and remote workers. Such a great community spot!"

"3.5 ⭐️Atmosphere and service are great! Food looked fantastic but the actual taste was less than mid. It’s hard to describe what was bad about it but maybe the bread was part of it, maybe the ingredients weren’t super fresh? Overall it was unsatisfying. I went with my parents and we all agreed we would not come back here for meal food but maybe to try just the treats or just have coffee (I’ll update my review if I come back and try something else). I thought the service was great and really appreciated how the person behind the counter showed me the ingredients label for bread when I asked about my allergy. The atmosphere is also really charming and I love the colors and little lights. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely can be a good spot to eat and chat with a friend or work on a laptop (wifi is only free for customers- the wifi details are at the bottom of your receipt)."

"It was a great experience on Sunday afternoon. The pastrami sandwich was perfect. The Arabic sauce added a delightful kick, preventing it from becoming greasy at all. Arabic stretchy ice cream was new to me, but it was quite good. Overall, the food, the ambiance and the staff were all great enough to make me want to return!"

"I had such a great experience here! First off the staff were super friendly and kept checking in to make sure everything was good. We came mainly to try the kunafeh, but honestly, we were a bit hesitant at first because we’d been disappointed by other places that claimed to have “authentic” kunafeh. So my wife and I shared one plate just to test it out and wow!! it was amazing very close to the kunafeh we’ve had in Jordan. We ended up ordering a second one right away. The staff noticed how much we liked it and out of nowhere offered us Qahwa Sadeh which was such a nice thing. I’m definitely planning to go back again to try more of their menu."

"Great place for coffee and food! WiFi is good but not many outlets! I’m addicted to this croissant sandwich!! Staff is sweet. Open late! Serves ice cream as well. Pictured drink is the mint lemonade."
