My daughter and I have been coming to Jerusalem Roastery every weekend after lunch for a few months now, for a variety of snacks, treats and beverages.
Dubai chocolate: We have tried so many places up and down Southern California, but Jerusalem Roastery's is truly the best. They have a variety in the fridge that is freshly made, and the price point is half of most other places, only $7.99 for a big piece. They also have wrapped ones that are good.
Knafeh: Their knafeh is served hot and fresh - they cut it in front of you. Both their soft and crispy kinds are delicious. Their cheese quality is the best I’ve tried in knafeh.
Nuts, seeds, etc: I have 10 bags in my kitchen right now (no exaggeration) of a variety of their nuts, seeds and corn nuts from the case in the front. My favorite is the roasted peas, their mixed nuts, kabooki and corn nuts. That’s all I eat for dinner sometimes.
There are a variety of wrapped chocolates from Jordan that I buy for home and as gifts. I also share these with my staff at work and now their eyes light up whenever I bring them some.
Halal gummies are so fresh and they always have something new. Sour fans: The sour blue ones are my favorite (there are many blue ones!)
Baklava: I think I’ve tried all of the baklava now and the best one is all of them, just buy one of each and enjoy.
My favorites of their beverages (so far) is the Salaam Cola and the Sahra Middle Eastern Cold Brew. I prefer Salaam Cola over other sodas now, and the cold brew blew my socks off when I first tried it.
They also carry a variety of Asian products that some Asian markets are often sold out on, like Dobby, the viral Hong Qi ice creams, and different flavors of noodles. Dobby from here is more fresh than other places I’ve tried.
The store itself is beautiful - you can tell they are selective and take pride in the decor and everything they sell.
Best of all, the kindest family owns the store and they are always so welcoming, asking if we want to try different things and telling us when they have new arrivals.
Definitely come here for quality products and to support a wonderful family business. This is a very...
Read moreJerusalem Roastery in Garden Grove, California, is truly the best spot for authentic Middle Eastern coffee, spices and desserts outside the Middle East. The rich aroma of freshly roasted coffee greets you as soon as you walk in, and the flavors are nothing short of perfection, taking you on a journey to a traditional café in Jerusalem. Their kanafa is a must-try, striking the perfect balance between crispy layers and gooey cheese, while the Dubai chocolate is incredibly rich and indulgent. The quality and authenticity of every item are evident, yet the prices are surprisingly reasonable, making it an accessible luxury. The welcoming and knowledgeable staff complete the experience, making Jerusalem Roastery not only a destination for delicious treats but a place that feels like home. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why no other place compares. I will definitely...
Read moreIt was just as I expected, beautiful. I was warmly greeted by a gentleman who was kind enough to describe all their delicious looking baklava and other sweets. He made some wonderful recommendations that my family and I both enjoyed. Took home some homemade Dubai chocolate, cookie butter baklava that looks like cute little bird nests, date cookies, pistachio cookies, and one Salaam Cola. I also tried knafeh for the first time....it was warm and delicious. He even gave me a fork so I could enjoy it while it was still hot. I ended up eating half of it sitting in my car in the lot. Thank you for making me feel welcome and treating me like a friend you've known for ages. I...
