Opa Cafe absolutely crushed it at the Alif Summit! They took care of everything from the gorgeous wooden serving trays to the perfectly curated halal meat and cheese boards. The fresh fruit in the morning was such a nice touch, and the evening sandwiches and salads were exactly what we needed after a long day. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and constantly restocked. So glad we had them, they even helped us at the end with bussing and trash - even though that wasn't part of our contract. full service!! and I’d bring them back in a heartbeat for future events!

Love Opa Cafe! We ordered the Rotisserie Chicken and the Kebab Supreme—both were super delicious (juicy, well-seasoned chicken and tender, flavorful kebabs). Service was friendly and attentive, which made the meal even better. Amazing spot for food. I can’t wait to try everything on the menu and will be back frequently—and soon.

Wildly efficient. Came in during a lunch break behind a group of 15, and they came and took orders in the line and triaged tasks and to minimize waits. Only got the dirty chai, which again beat expectations and was perfectly balanced. Looking forward to exploring the menu more

This place is great. The food is great. The price is great. The service is excellent. They always make you feel welcome. When I used to work nearby and was a regular, Layla learned my name and always greeted me by name, which makes you feel at home. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Excellent food, staff are very helpful and friendly. Owner is often there, ready to help and troubleshoot if needed. It gets very busy on weekdays around the noon due to all the local workers coming there. If you can go a bit before noon or after 1 you’ll get your food faster. I’ve been a lot and usually everything is very smooth. I had one instance where there was a mix up with timing on my online order, and they bent over backwards, going above and beyond to make it up to me. I definitely get the sense that they take pride in their business and the food they serve. If you’re looking for excellent counter service Mediterranean wraps salads or plates, go here.

A great Mediterranean cafe with breakfast/brunch food. Have house blends, lattes, cappuccinos, and Greek coffee options. Also has Mediterranean food like shawarma, kebab, gyros, falafel hummus, and sweets like baklava and other sweets. Good atmosphere and vibes. Street parking is really difficult on but has garages nearby.

I just moved to the neighborhood two weeks ago and have been to Opa Cafe 5 times already for breakfast and lunch. I’m excited this is my new go-to cafe. The menu is huge ranging from coffee and pastries, bagels and omelets, sandwiches and burritos, and salads and Mediterranean/Middle Eastern plates. So far my fav is the salmon and chicken shawarma plates. The staff is lovely and service friendly. Can’t wait to work my way through the menu.

Opa Cafe is my absolute favorite place to order delivery from. I order at least once a week and everything is delicious, fresh, and reasonably priced! The salmon is delicious and cooked in a butter caper sauce (although you can ask for this on the side / omitted). The chicken kebabs and rotisserie chicken are also fantastic. The hummus is the best I've ever had and the platters with salad, hummus, rice, and a protein make a fantastic lunch. The owner of the cafe is extremely helpful and friendly and always a pleasure to interact with. Couldn't recommend Opa Market highly enough!
