Habibi’s

Even though Fullerton isn’t part of the Little Arabia cultural district in nearby Anaheim, some of its Halal coffee shops and restaurants are real Orange County standouts – Qamaria Coffee and the BBQ house Bundoo Khan, to name just a couple. As of July 2025, you can add Bundoo Khan’s plaza neighbor Habibi’s to that list: billing itself as an “Arabic specialty coffee and bites” shop, the coffee, tea, flatbread, and pastry cafe radiates the love of its translated name, and imbues its drinks and foods with impressively strong fruit and nut flavors.

Habibi’s initial menu starts with 18 drinks ($3 to $8): five espresso-based lattes (cardamom, orange blossom, rose, butter toffee date, and strawberry pistachio), three fruit-matcha latte mixes (strawberry, passion fruit, and orange blossom), four dairy-free lemon mint soda refreshers (pear, peach, strawberry, and passion fruit), and six basic espressos, lattes, and teas. Food choices include six savory mana’eesh flatbreads ($7/8 for 6″, $13/15 for 12″) with za’atar, cheese, labneh, and basterma meat options, three desserts including knafeh, a dulce de leche affogato, and strawberry nutella “pie” ($6 to $11), plus whatever pastries may be available. Fruit or cheese danishes ($6), cookies ($4), several croissants ($6), cinnamon rolls ($7), and cinnamon pulls ($7) all looked solid on our visit.

We wanted to try items that were substantially assembled in-house, so we ordered the strawberry nutella pie ($11), a four-piece sweet flatbread loaded with freshly cut berries, pistachios, pistachio butter, and chocolate-hazelnut spread. It was truly one of the best Arabic-styled sweet treats we’ve sampled in the Dubai chocolate era.
