Holy moly guacamole this place is such a find! There are so many things that will keep you coming back to try. The employees were super kind and patient. Seasonal drinks, a secret menu , excellent pastries while still being customizable make for a fantastic experience .

Finjan is one of my favorite coffee shops to visit. The atmosphere is amazing, and I love the overall feng shui of the space. When you walk in, it genuinely feels like you've stepped into a little corner of Turkey. The decor, seating, and overall vibe make it a really enjoyable place to spend time. I'm a big fan of their matcha (especially the double matcha), and they have a great selection of teas and coffee. I also love that Tahini is right next door because their food is fantastic, and the two businesses pair really well together. One thing I think could be improved is the ordering and pickup process. During busy times, it can be difficult to tell where the line starts and ends, and because the shop gets so popular, people end up standing all over the place. A little more structure for the line would probably help a lot. I've also experienced long wait times on multiple occasions—sometimes 30 to 35 minutes for a matcha or tea, even when I've ordered ahead online. At that point, online ordering doesn't really save any time. That being said, I want to be clear that this is not a reflection of the staff. The girls who work there are always kind, friendly, and doing their best. F

Finjan Coffee Shop (Feb '26) Free strip-mall parking. Actual china cups for in-store dining. Decent variety of drinks, a few breakfast menu items and baklava. Nice decor including middle easter/Turkish lanterns. Spacious outdoor patio and indoor dining including a long bar with stools. Not super fast, not super slow. Average coffee shop prices (which are too high IMO). We both ordered flavored latte coffees. My husband said he couldn't taste any vanilla in it. The orange was all at the bottom on mine, but it was a quality drink with a design on top. :) See my photos for more details.

Stopped by mainly for their Knafeh Khishneh (crunchy) and it was absolutely amazing. Perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and soft inside, with just the right amount of sweetness - exactly how good kunafa is supposed to be. Fresh, rich, and super satisfying. They also have a pretty wide beverage menu and a lot of other food options, so I’m sure there’s more worth trying, but the kunafa alone is reason enough to come here. Definitely recommend going if you’re in the area.

Stopped by Finjān Coffee Co and absolutely loved it. Super cute shop with a warm, inviting vibe, and the establishment was very clean. The staff was super friendly, and there wasn’t a long wait at all. They use house-made syrups, and I loved the cups they serve the drinks in. Such a nice touch. We tried the vanilla bean latte, pistachio latte, and Turkish coffee, and all were excellent. The knafeh was delicious and paired perfectly with the coffee. A great spot for quality coffee and desserts. Definitely worth a visit ☕️💙
