While you can get good Knafeh at Knafeh Cafe in Anaheim, they tend to make one large sheet of it, and then reheat a slice for you when you want a small slice. At Mrs. Knafeh, she'll make you knafeh to order (either crispy or original). It may take some time (hey, it's made to order!), but it'll be very fresh and delicious.
She also has various sweet atayef (similar to an empanada). I like the sweet cream the best, but there are lots of different fillings to try.
The Dubai chocolate (available in dark, semi-sweet, or white) is great as well (but should be eaten right away or refrigerated).
She has a little bit of outdoor seating available (two tables).
Nearby, there are two other food trucks and a Turkish kebab grill as well, so there are savory options, too. But, you could also just come for dessert!
Mrs. Knafeh is cash only (or Zelle, too, I think), and you can get updated availability if you follow her on Insta.
