Sana’a Cafe is Tacoma’s first authentic Yemeni coffee house, serving premium Arabic coffee sourced directly from Yemen’s mountains and roasted in San Francisco. Located at Lincoln Plaza on S. 38th St., we brew traditional Yemeni specialties like the Flagship Sanaani and Jubani alongside Adeni chai, house-made pastries, and savory chicken fatayer. Every item on our menu is certified halal. Owned by a Yemeni-American family with deep roots in the craft, Sana’a brings decades of coffee heritage into a warm, modern café setting. Come experience the culture — stop in and sip with us.
