We opened our first brick & mortar – a bakery/cafe – in the Fruitvale Oakland neighborhood on Tuesday, May 16th, 2017! We launched our second brick & mortar location in the Mission District of San Francisco on March 11, 2020! In addition to our brick and mortars, we also currently provide wholesale and catering for functions and special events throughout the Bay Area.

3 months agoVery good food served in a casual atmosphere. They close at 3pm so lunch is a perfect time to visit. Arab street food but California style. BTW..they make their own Pita bread. Beer & Wine served.

a month agoI love Reem's. I always get the Pali Cali which is delicious. The baba ghanouj and falafel were also great. The cheesy phylo dessert was also amazing. The staff was super friendly and the space was cozy and comfortably accommodated our group of 5 at 7pm on a Friday night. My only complaint is that the musician was loud.

4 months agothe mural is what makes this place extra unique. I love these colors, coffee was okay, good unique offerings with education on what is being served. what I did not like was that it was so expensive but I guess that's just California

a week agoDonโt take it from me: in the words of a friend who has lived in Lebanon and Cairo, โthis is the best Arabic food Iโve had on this continentโ. Everything is delicious, especially the zaatar manoush and the muhamara. The only problem is that after this, every pita you have in the rest of your life will seem sad by comparison.
