SASA CAFE
Reviews of SASA CAFE
from GoogleI dined here on Saturday evening around 4:30pm for the first time with my kickboxing coach, who recommend this place. I ordered their sasa cafe crepe, which sounded very interesting and it didn't disappoint. It had nice thick filling between the crepe, the crepe itself was quite soft, easy to bite, white chocolate sauce was very light, not under or over sweet at all, filling was slightly thick and could not finish all the pieces on the plate. It's good for heavy eaters but for me was bit heavy towards the end. Luckily my master finished the last two pieces😀, no food was wasted. Ordered strawberry and mango ice-cream right before the hookah, both flavors were decent, not sure if they're made in house or bought from outside. Both of them need more depth and need to taste closer to the original flavors of strawberry and mango, but strawberry was the one we liked more. Hookah setup was very good, had blueberry mint flavor, nice and light, good quality hookah with long nose to use for individual smoking. They replaced the charcoal and checking frequently with us which was nice conversation with the owner and staff who were very friendly. Nice cozy place in downtown, very airy, spacious, like the giant screen where you can watch any live matches from downstairs and upstairs as well. Very friendly staff, service can be little slow at times. Parking is an hassle as always with downtown spots and this place is no different. Suggestion: I felt the menu is limited for vegetarians, few more options would be nice for the appetizers and main course. We are going to visit this place more frequently, especially for hookah.
Visited Sasa Cafe in Calgary and tried their cheese pizza and Dubai chocolate cup. The cheese pizza was a nice savoury option, and the Dubai chocolate cup was a great way to finish, with its rich chocolate flavour, pistachios, and crunchy texture. The ambience was lovely, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made it a nice place to sit back, relax, and enjoy some treats. Overall, a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy both savoury bites and indulgent desserts in a pleasant café setting. Worth a visit!
I had an excellent experience at SaSa Cafe. This spot is perfectly located downtown, making it super convenient whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or meeting friends. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming—service felt natural, not forced, which makes a big difference. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish hit the mark. What really stands out is the atmosphere. It’s got that perfect balance—comfortable, stylish, and relaxed without trying too hard. You can actually enjoy your time there. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend.
My wife and I came here for Sunday lunch and really enjoyed the buffet. Alhamdulillah, everything was halal, fresh, and delicious. We had a wonderful luncheon experience. Highly recommend making a reservation beforehand as it can get busy. Will definitely be coming back again!
The shawarma bites are definitely our favorite! The atmosphere was great, and the service was superb. We will definitely come back and recommend this place to friends!

Hosted by Reema and Christmas tonight, was a fantastic and a warm experience overall. We ordered the brownie waffle, alongside cappuccino and an Oreo shake and each item was delicious! Highly recommended and definitely paying Sasa another visit soon when Argentina plays 😝
Just visited this newly opened café and had such a great experience. The food was really good and tasted fresh, but what truly stood out was the customer service — absolutely top-notch. We were even treated to complimentary ice creams, which was such a lovely and unexpected touch. Highly recommend checking this place out. Wishing them lots of success! Marry was so polite to us and was very helpful.
About SASA CAFE
A downtown dessert and hookah cafe at 237 8 Avenue SE, known for its Dubai waffle, this spot is halal. Ask at the counter about each order, and note that cocktails may be served.
The dessert counter
The dessert counter is the draw: crepes, waffles including a pistachio-and-chocolate Dubai waffle, tiramisu and dessert boxes. The brownie waffle and the Oreo shake are popular, and the shawarma bites are a regular favourite. A short savoury menu runs to beef kabab plates.
Diners describe the service as attentive and the atmosphere as comfortable and relaxed. One diner found the crepe rich and filling enough to share, and another says the food tastes fresh and carefully made.
Hookah, buffet and the room
The room is spacious and airy, with a big screen for live matches. Staff change and check the hookah charcoal often. A buffet is offered at times and can get busy, so book ahead. Diners say the service is excellent and the staff are genuinely friendly. Parking downtown is tight, so allow a little time to find a space. For vegetarian options, ask at the counter before you order.
