The best! I really liked every pastry in this shop, best Knafe.

I saw a video of cheeses around the world and this desert caught my eye. After I googled it this was the top rated bakery to get it. I saw another review suggesting to pair it with a Turkish coffee and I did. I was handed a bottle of syrup to add to my pastry and on hindsight I may have not needed to add more. I made it so so soooo sweet! But the Turkish coffee was black so they offset each other. I dont have any other experiences to compare this to but I really enjoyed it!

This place is excellent for authentic Mediterranean sweets, specifically Knafe Nabelsieh(authentic Nablus Knafe). The baklawa was also very good. So was Halaweh Jibin.

My favorite Kanfeh restaurant 😋 always stop here when Im visiting Anaheim.

Great place to try Palestinian desserts!Crispy Knafeh, Aish Alsarya, Hareeseh, Balourieh (Walnut, Pistachio, Nutella)

I came today to get knafeh. It was delicious. Nice owner and friendly environment. I’m glad I found this place. I’ll come back again

Holy wow, this place is LEGIT! The shopping center is cool too. The staff where super friendly, we felt very welcomed in this cafe. We ordered kanafeh and two other deserts and where pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness. I definitely wanted to try more desserts but I got full. So we purchased a gift container of desserts for the family instead. We will definitely be back to try the rest!

Tasty and freshly made.

Nice knafeh!

It was disappointing experience. I came as Knafeh lover after seeing these reviews. But the reality was different. I wish if the Knafeh was fresh, but it was not. I saw the fresh ready inside the Kitchen, but the team preferred to serve the old, which seems they are leftovers, at the top of that $7 for that piece.so pricey.

Best Kuana with Nabulsi cheese, it comes directly frim Nablus PALESTINE 🇵🇸 and they selling it by slice and the whole the Medium is 50 usd the big is 70 usd

Affordable price. Excellent customer service. Delicious sweets

Knafeh and Turkish coffee, what else do you need? Friendly staff and great food. I’m as a picture but everything was gone by the time I had a chance to review this place. Maybe next time.

Honestly hard to judge because I’ve never had this food before and nothing to compare it to lol. It’s a little bit of an acquired taste. But it was very yummy. And everybody was getting the same dish so I assumed it was wonderful lol.

Oh my gosh they just started selling freshly baked small trays made to order for $10! That’s been my dream for a long time, to enjoy fresh Knafeh right off the fire!

Amazing baklava they make a circular/roll type that is absolutely devine. Everything they have here is good and I feel like its a small family so I love supporting them and coming here when Im in the area.

PALESTINE 🇵🇸Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles:If you ask a Palestinian about knafeh, they will insist that the story begins in Nablus, a city that is referenced when naming of eateries around the world. In the northern part of the West Bank, Nablus is known for food of all ranges and classes and has a culinary history rivaling that of Damascus or Baghdad. Sweets are a big part of Nablus as well, with many vendors spanning generations and preparing their sweets in traditional ways.Right in the center of Anaheims main stretch of Little Arabia on Brookhurst lives one of the best places to soak yourself in the rich history of Nablus and knafeh, at the tiny Knafeh Cafe tucked into a strip mall between an Arabic hair and nail salons. Two neon words can be seen in the window from afar, Pastries and Coffee, which explain most of the reasons you will have to come.Traditionally, knafeh is something purchased for a celebration, or eaten when the daily fast ends during Ramadan. A promotion or graduation will always be rewarded with the sweet cheese-y dessert. Need to reconcile after a tough argument? You better bring knafeh with you during the apology.

As a kunafa connoisseur, I wasn’t impressed with the Nabulsi. The cheese wasn’t stringy and the kunafa was a bit tough to separate with a fork.

We had no idea what Knafeh would be so drove by. Its actually delicious with Turkish coffee! Loaded up on other pastries as well. Highly recommended this place!

Tried this spot before with a friend and I am addicted ever since. I enjoy the awesome vibes and fresh food and drinks. I recommend this place.

Ordered the knafeh, baklava, balourieh, and turkish coffee. It was my first time trying knafeh so I cant say if it was authentic or not. But I liked that it was both sweet and savory. Every customer that came in while I was there ordered it. Some customers ordered full pans of the knafeh. It was also my first time trying balourieh, but its not something Id order again. The baklava was good, but Ive had better baklava elsewhere.

This is a must for any pastry or dessert lover! I come down from Sherman Oaks (1 hour drive) every weekend just to enjoy itz

$12 for Halawet eljoben and it doesn’t have real cream in it... you don’t even deserve 1 star, either make good dessert for your crazy prices or close down your store..

A unique dessert offering homemade Middle Eastern specialities not usually offered at other Middle Eastern bakeries

We ordered the made-to-order Knafeh and it was very tasty!

Friendly local shop that features Pastries and Greek Coffee. The owner and his wife are friendly. They serve original Knafeh.

I live in the bay area and every time I come down here I go out of my way to get a slab of na3meh kanafeh if you never had its a must try!

Best Knafeh out of the med east. Done by the son of the chef of the original ABO SEER KINAFEH in NABLUS (SHEKEEM) in the Holy land of PALESTINE. Other sweets like Baklava, and Hareesah .Enjoy acup of dark roasted Arabian coffee or cup of Jordanian tea . Ice cream is must to try . The service is great .

Saw this place on BringMe Instagram page and I wanted to try the Knafeh really bad. I drove all the way there just to try it and I do not regret. It was reaaally good and would love to have more. I took it to go and they told me to warm it 25 sec in the microwave before eating it. 😋😋😋 $5

I wouldnt call Knafe Cafe fancy by any means, and youre not going to come here to finish writing your script, but when you do come, you can get a nice Turkish coffee with delicious sweets. Ive tried the knafe, hareeseh and rice pudding, and there all great. Im going to be coming back here for a long while.

The best knafeh I have ever tasted in North America...

The perfect place for your Mediterranean desserts, the Knafeh was super delicious, recommend this place 👍🏽

Wont come back, knafeh and warbat weren’t fresh at all, seems as leftovers

One of the greatest Knafeh places I ever visited in the US.

The best that can be out of from orgin country. If you miss knafeh at LA u can satisfy yourself a bit. Better than none.

Crunchy or soft? That is the question. Why not both?Knafeh is a Palestinian dessert, originating in the city of Nablus. Consisting of local stretchy Nablusian cheese, shredded kadayif dough & simple syrup, it is a simple dish thats difficult to master. At Knafeh Cafe, the owner, Asem, makes knafeh the traditional way, from the family recipe passed down generation after generation. Using Nablusian cheese & dough made fresh everyday, customers can taste the history of Asems familys dedication to their craft & the perfection which came through the refinement of their recipe.At Knafeh Cafe, knafeh can be made to order in a personal-sized pan for $12, piping hot. Or, it can be purchased by the slice for $5.75. I was lucky enough to arrive when the knafeh naameh (soft) was freshly cooked. Wanting to try both the soft & khishneh (crunchy) iterations, I waited 10 minutes for the crunchy version to be ready.Knafeh-I was pleasantly surprised to find knafeh to be more savory than sweet. I was expecting a very sugary dessert, especially with the drizzle of simple syrup, but the salt & fat from the Nablusian cheese cut the sweetness, in a favorable way.Knafeh khishnah (crunchy)-Reminding me of the Filipino cheese brioche, ensaymada, the knafeh khishneh had a delightful crunch. Quite messy to eat, this was my preferred version of knafeh, mainly for the texture.Knafeh naameh (soft)-A more refined version of knafeh, the knafeh naameh was a touch sweeter than its khishneh counterpart.Besides their namesake knafeh, Knafeh Cafe also sells other Middle Eastern desserts, such as baklava, mamool & warbat. I knew I had to have an authentic knafeh experience by having Turkish coffee to go with it. The coffee was dark, murky & complex. I found how remarkable the fruit & berry notes shone in the coffee. I never have coffee black. However, I had no problem drinking the Turkish coffee straight up. I later researched the coffee brand, Cafe Najjar, and found the particular coffee used had ground cardamom. Thats the secret! Ill now start brewing my coffee at home with a touch of ground cardamom.Service was great. The owner, Asem, was friendly & hospitable. Currently, there is bar seating inside, with 2 tables outside the establishment. Knafeh Cafe is located in the middle of the Desert Moon shopping plazaAlmost every region in the Middle East has their version of knafeh. While this was my first time having knafeh, Im almost certain Ive had the best & most authentic, seeing how it originated in Nablus, where Asem came from. Knafeh Cafes knafeh is a lightly sweet, cheesy & filling dessert. Paired with Turkish coffee, I can imagine myself overlooking the sand, desert breeze blowing in my face. Whether its a tray for an event, or simply a slice with some mint tea, I highly recommend the knafeh at Knafeh Cafe.

I pick up today the big Knafe plate, it’s was absolutely amazing!!Every one that try it never stop talk about how good is it.Good job highly recommended

I went with my boyfriend and we both loved this place! The owner is really friendly and nice. We had a Turkish coffee first, such an unique flavor! We ordered pastries to go and all of them were delicious, our favorite one was the pistachio “cookie”, definitely a must!!! We will back for the cold desserts.

Almost it’s not fresh and testing bad

Great place, excellent quality, authentic desserts.

Kenafa that tastes as though it was made in Nablus (original city it came from) !

Did not enjoy their kanafeh, was also overpriced compared to other food establishments. Disappointed is understatement.

Wow!!! Just wow!! Everything here is so so good, we came bc we had a craving for knafeh, ended up having one of every dessert/ pastry they had, each delicious and unique in their own way! The service is wonderful, very friendly and the Turkish coffee is a must try! We had an amazing experience here, I definitely recommend!

Best Knafeh in the area, feels like you are back in Palestine. Reasonably priced and has many different sweets that are also very delicious.

Loved the place, fully recommended

Around noon on a beautiful Saturday I was craving knafeh and was lucky to see a fresh, hot batch of crispy knafeh come out of the oven!They have soft and they have crispy. I prefer the crispy because you get melty cheese and crispy katayif with a perfectly balanced sweetness.No place in Orange County (probably LA too) makes knafeh as good as here.Pairs well with a strong black tea.At only $5/serving this is deal! Must try!

The greatest Knafeh in town

Best knafeh ever that I had so far. Very authentic recipe 😋 Good luck guys and keep it up 👍

Specially the crispy one is great . Have a Turkish coffee with it.

Knafa is tasty just like hone

The most amazing knafeh I have tasted

Good knafeh one of the best in OC

Delicious kanafe

Friendly Service. Fantastic dessert choices especially if you want something for the family. Thank you Knafeh Cafe!!!

Wow, the place was amazing. Very delicious Knafeh. Super friendly staff. I was in LA one week and I visit this place four times. I will miss the taste of their Knafeh. It was so good. The owner provided me with some tasters of couple of options as gift. Wish they were in Vancouver, so I could go there every week ☹️

Cold kunafa not fresh!!

Amazing kunafa and baqlava😋😋 tastes fresh and delicious

Visited this spot in the evening around 8PM because I was craving hard for baklava! This place has very good reviews and Ive always been wanting to try some knafeh. I ordered the cream knafeh but now I NEED to come back to try their cheese knafeh. I also bought their assorted baklava (8 pcs for about $12) which was so delicious. The gentleman who helped me was so nice and warmed up my knafeh to enjoy. Cant wait to come back.

The best Kenafe you can get any where around really. I havent had one this good since I came from Jordan 20 years ago. Thank you for bringing a piece of home to So cal. Best of luck!!!!!

Was my first time here, I live in LA, worth driving all the way back just for the Knafeh, the people are really nice and accommodating and their knafeh is seriously the best I have had so far in US. Will definitely return

Some of the best knafeh you will ever have stateside always come back for the great food and even better customer service

Love this little shop!! Home made pastries everyday!! My Favorite is the baklava, with pistachios of course!! 😊😊😊

The best knafeh in OC..delicious

Best Knafeh in town, they sell 2 kinds crusty/dry and moist, my favorite is the crusty because is crunchy and I can taste the flavor of the cheese, you can always add syrup. My husband ordered the Turkish coffee and it was delicious we usually come and eat here after our dinner at Dessert Moon

This the worst Kanafa I ever eat قشطه they should use half and half Milk or heavy creamer not water And Starch . I did try call thei but they have their phone since thanksgiving good luck with poor Quality.

Overpriced and not even that good 🤷‍♂️

Very good authentic Knafe

Great knafah!

This is how knafeh should be made.. so good t.. and they do free shipping now! !

Hands down the best knafeh I’ve had in my 5 years of living in the US. It tastes authentically delicious, just like home, and all flavors are rich in taste. I can’t believe I hadn’t tried Knafeh Cafe earlier on, will definitely be coming back for more!!

Outstanding customer service! My daughter first had knafeh this Summer while studying in Israel and Jordan. At the last minute, I had the idea of ordering some to surprise her over the holidays. Based on the positive reviews here, I chose Knafeh Cafe. My order was immediately confirmed, then I promptly received another email confirming shipping, the expected delivery date and providing me with a Fed Ex tracking number. The order arrived a day early with clear instructions on how to preserve, serve etc. on the outside. We wont taste it until Tuesday (it will be hard to wait), but in all the flurry of last-minute holiday activity, I cant say enough how much I appreciated the individual attention and responsiveness.

This is our first time trying Knafa Cafe. We drove 40 minutes to come here to try knafa nabulsiya. Before we made the drive we called to ask what time they make the knafa fresh, he said he always makes knafa fresh daily. I asked what about made to order knafa? He told me the different size trays that are made to order. I said ok, that’s what I’m interested in and we made the drive. When we got there, I asked for the tray he mentioned on the phone that is made to order, for fresh knafa. He said it’s 16 dollars for the personal tray. We said that’s fine, and we will wait as it’s cooking. He takes the tray out and starts putting knafa from what was already previously made in front of us. It’s not what we just agreed on. I said no, sir we wanted made to order. If that’s not the case, we will only want 2 pieces. This is just for my husband and I. I can tell he got frustrated. He leaves only two pieces of knafa in the tray. An older gentleman comes out from the back and in Arabic says no don’t put two pieces in a small tray, put in the styrofoam to-go plate. The man tells him I know I charged them for it. All this is happening while we are standing right there. Maybe he thought we couldn’t understand Arabic? I find it extremely unethical to charge someone extra 2$ for a tray without first asking them. The only reason we were going to get the personal knafa tray was because he said it would be made to order. He then scoops the knafa out of the aluminum tray and into the to-go styrofoam plate and removes 1$ off the bill. I ask if he’s going to heat the knafa at all? They looked cold. The cheese was not melted at all. He then takes them out and puts them in the microwave. My husband and I are both Palestinian and love to support local businesses, however we were extremely disappointed with the customer service here!

Good food good service good prices

My first time trying knafeh and Knafeh Cafe was amazing! The knafeh was served nice and warm. What bad can I say about a cheese dessert? The owners were so sweet. Can’t wait to come again!

Cream & cheese kunafa is so yummy. I recommend it.

Great Knafe, they have some other middle eastern desserts(baklava, etc) and ice cream. Staff was nice, try to come in early before they are about to close because some stuff might possibly be sold out and they may not be baking anymore

I like kenafeh, but I have tried better. If you like super sweet kenafeh gonthere

MA The best Knafeh I’ve had on the west coast. Family owned cafe that’s run by a husband and wife. Extremely kind, and excellent customer service.Having had knafeh in many countries including some in the Middle East I would say this easily ranks top 3 out of 40 spots in 10 different countries.While you order a slice or two there just order a tray while waiting so you don’t regret it later.

Very delicious

One of the best places. Very tasty middle eastern desserts, very friendly staff, and very reasonable prices.Been there for 4 times and I will definitely go there again.

Online order of Nafesah sweets turned out delicious. Delivered in two days. Wished the expiration date was further out, but happy otherwise.

Bigger. Flags.I love this place, and love the people more. Thank you for being an amazing part of the community!

Very tasty Palestinian pastries! Knafeh is fresh and the baklava is also very good. Love the Palestinian music playing in the background. #FreePalestine

One of the best Knafeh places

Always a great place to stop for great desserts and coffee. Cant go wrong with any of their choices.

Absolutely Fantastic desert and excellent customer service!!!

Asem is always Amazing with his Knafa.This is as good as it getsReal, authentic, Palestinian Kona’s.

Delicious

Wow I was not expecting this. Ive been trying to find a place that makes a decent Kenafeh and I was always disappointed. Even top rated middle eastern restaurants that had good food, always lacked in the quality of their sweets and specially the kenafeh. I highly recommend if youre in the mood for something warm and sweet.

If you are coffee person have a Turkish one and enjoy any sweet... the taste and effect is just good...

Friendly people and good sweet treats.

I only tried the kunafa its so authentic and delicious good job

Excellent place!!! Great people, Great food, great prices, would 100% recommend🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

This place is amazing! Friendly staff and the best knafeh and Turkish coffee in the US! Well done!

Delicious and worth the trip. The knafeh was amazing

Chicken was amazing... rice was pretty good but omg!!! That hummus was the worse I have ever tasted.... disappointed with the hummus, it ruined the flavor of the rest of the food

Knafeh on fire 🔥

Friendly, clean and delicious pastry restaurant. One of the best if not the best Kenafa in Anaheim area.

Great Palestinian kanafeh. Love the Palestinian flag on the wall, as well as the Palestinian owner! #freepalestine

Amazing knafeh wow. not overly sweet and has a nice crunch usually. most recent time it wasnt crunchy though. also try the turkish coffee which has a cardamon flavor. no frills location. service can be bad however. parking in the lot out front is always terrible so be prepared to look for parking. no lights in the lot either.
