We drove an hour just to go get kinafay thinking it is going to be good, well, the kinafay has almost no cheese at all you can’t even see any cheese in the pan. If you are Arab or Lebanese specifically you will know what I mean.Maybe they can trick others but not us.They have to change the recipe for sure.

Amazing bakery, very authentic items, and incredibly polite staff. I would highly recommend this bakery for sweet lovers!
Love this place. The owner is so passionate about his baked goods and loves to tell you tons of history and tries to pair you with what you'd like the most when asked. Also love the free samples and the chai is amazing.
If you haven't been at Yafa bakery & cafe, u r missing out! I went today for the first time & I had the most amazing and delicious experience. This is the real authentic Palestinian kitchen & food. Amazing assortment of everything made from the best healthy ingredients. Hand crafted by the owner who's hospitality is graciously inviting. Everything I tried was so wonderful with the real taste that I know from home! I was so overwhelmed, the healthy ingredients, like the cardamom tea or the fresh mint juice or the nuts that are used into these recipes, you will be thankful & happy. Thank you for your hospitality, you made us so happy today. WOW is understatement, will be back!

WOW! WOW! WOW! My husband I happened to stop in today on a walk + we were absolutely blown away! Abdul could not have been kinder. He gave us chai tea, biscotti and pistachio desserts, all for free as we waited for our little pizza, just to try! Everything was amazing & I couldn't stop remarking about how beautiful all of the desserts were. We can't wait to go back and buy the date filled pastries for every special occasion! At one point, I noticed the Palestinian cookbook on their bookshelf and I couldn't have been more excited to support a Palestinian-owned business, especially during this time when there is so much strife in the world. Sharing coffee & hospitality across cultures & religions really does build bridges. I've been smiling ever since! Thank you, Yafa & Abdul!!!

Yafa is not to be missed if you're in the area. And you can't miss it--the sign outside is huge. Seriously. But for good reason because this place is amazing and deserves all the hype it has been getting.The inside is quite small, and it can get crowded. You have to be on the lookout for a table as you are admiring the pastries if you want to dine in.They give everyone a sample of the chai tea while waiting, and I'm still thinking about it. I didn't order it at the time because I was already full, but I would come back just for it. Out of all of the pastries that I ordered, my favorite was the Kunafah Cream. I tried it first because I expected it to be heavy given the name, but it was surprisingly very light and had interesting textures.
