I just ran into this coffee shop and I'm so happy I did. It's Palestinian owned and the owner was in there making my coffee and was extremely kind and welcoming. He suggested a cardamom coffee and it was delicious! The food menu looked really good and had many options so I'll definitely be back for the good ambiance, coffee and delicious food. I strongly recommend this place and supporting a small business!

Small but lovey cafe - warm ambiance and very friendly staff! I just got a latte here and sat outside in a nicely covered patio in the front. Will be back for their food next. Thrilled to support this cafe.

This might be my new favorite lunch spot. I tried a chicken shawarma sandwich last time, and the chicken and brie sandwich today. The shawarma was delicious, but the chicken and brie may be one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Sounds simple enough but they nailed it. Portions and prices are good, under $15 for a hefty sandwich and fries. Ordered online and it was ready for me on time. I can't wait to try more of their menu!

Pan con is amazing! I keep telling myself to try something different, and just cant bring myself to miss an opportunity for a Pan con.

Great food, great family story behind the business and excellent customer service. I had the Sammy's lunch with chicken and everything and it was delicious. Served with warm, fluffy pita and I got a side of the garlic yogurt sauce that was sooooo good! Also got an iced latte and loved that too. I'll be back for sure. Don't let the random industrial business park location deter you. It's worth looking for and they have plenty of outdoor seating.

Ancestors has recently opened with new management. In doing so, they have reopened the catering arm of their services.We recently hired them for a large event and could not have been happier. The food was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. Jihad was really easy to work with and the price was very fair. We will definitely use them again for any catering events that arise for us.

We have always had great lunches at Ancestors, especially the shawarmas. They catered a dinner and memorial lunch recently—just incredible food and service.Dinner was delivered and included their awesome meatballs, shawarma chicken and kefta, salads, hummus and pitas. Cost was so reasonable.Lunch included an appetizer plate and a beautiful fruit tray. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented.Highly recommended!

Food was delicious. Had falafel sandwich. Sauce was amazing and so was the pita bread. Sat outside in nice shaded area. No inside seating.
