Really nice coffee & sandwiches here, I got the cardomom latte and it's one of the best in the area so far. The sandwiches are pretty big you can probably share one between two people especially if you want to get a dessert. Beef egg & cheese sandwich - my husband got this one and it's a nice breakfast sandwich it has really nice spices in it which make it different from other breakfast sandwich places. Kafta sandwich - this was perfect for lunch the flavors are really amazing. The baked desserts were hit or miss I'll come back to try some more. I wasn't the biggest fan of the flour used. It was pretty busy on the weekend, but we still managed to find parking and a table. People work on their laptops there so the turn over is slower. The inside is a bit cramped, I did have a little anxiety because there's really no space between you and the person next to you and there's just a small path to walk around. Parking is around back of the building, it has signs up that it's parking for that building only. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

Lovely remote work space but they do have a time limit so be mindful of how much time you spend here. Drinks, 10/10. Food was okay, would try something else next time. Definitely coming back to explore more of the drink menu. Was bummed I couldn't order the matcha I wanted when I went because they didn't have any strawberry or mango. read more

Did a phone order before my lunch at work and had a very positive experience. Service is incredible and they're very on top of your order. I had their Lebneh sandwich which was delicious but pretty light. Not ideal if you're really really hungry. Their matcha was ok. I added simple syrup but I wasn't impressed. The restaurant had limited street parking but it's a cute cafe aesthetic. I do agree with other reviewers, their menu items are pricey. read more

My family and I enjoyed brunch on their outdoor patio. The servers were friendly and even brought a water bowl out for our dog. W e ordered some drinks including coffee and tea as well as some of their dips. Our food was fresh and delicious, everyone really enjoyed their meal. There's limited patio seating so I can see it getting crowded quickly on a nice weekend. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped by Cafe Levantine for a quick coffee + pastry break. Tried the iced latte, iced mango matcha, and both almond & butter croissants. The croissants were fresh (the almond one had such a good filling), and the latte was exactly what you want it to be. The mango matcha though... not worth the $9+, it was made with mango juice from a box. Staff was really friendly, the space is cute, and there's plenty of outdoor seating. read more

Another lovely coffee shop located in McLean, VA. A coffee shop that is Lebanese-inspired, from their sweets, coffee, and savory dishes. The spot is very medium sized - not too small, with plenty of tables if you want to do some work. We got the Mamoul Ushta, which has a crusty base on the outside, and cream in the inside. It was very sweet for me but it was be good for all the sweet tooth people. I would want to come back and try their savory dishes. read more

The mango matcha is UNREAL. So is the cookie butter latte. These special crafted caffeine drinks are made with extra precision and attention to detail, and that's evident from not only how aesthetic the drinks are, but how it actually tastes somehow better than it looks!! Lentil soup and the beef sandwich are also stars at Cafe Levantine. The manager who rang us up also was the nicest guy- big shoutout to him for helping us settle in comfortably with our baby and her stroller and for not charging us for a water bottle (which I last minute needed for baby's feeding); he was so kind and made our first trip here comfortable and fun. read more

Trying to find a good brunch spot during our short visit/trip and saw it on Yelp/Google; decided to try it and was not disappointed. It is located in the corner of a brick building on the intersection of Elm St and Beverly Rd. Not very easy to spot from the road if not looking for it carefully. Parking is shared with the rest of the stores of the building and was not difficult. The store is right beneath the "Jack Bays Inc" sign. We ordered the Pistaccino and Vanilla Rose Latte. The Rose Latte was superb; sweet but not overwhelming. Also tried the Egg & Za'tar Croissant, Arayes Wrap. Vibrant flavors cooked to the perfect temperature; the wraps were also amazingly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The waiter was extremely attentive and helpful, always checking if we were okay with the orders. The environment is modern and somewhat lively, with both indoor and outdoor seatings. The tables seemed very high-end and have white marble top look, as well as a few mirrors with surrounding light and large glass windows. Welcoming and refreshing ambiance. Because of the delicious food and good service, will definitely return to try other dishes if in the area again. Keep up the good work Cafe Levantine! read more

Love this place super cute and tasty food and amazing coffee. Just a small space so it's gets crowded but love the food

Came here on a weekday morning for some coffee and tea. I got their matcha, and it was pretty decent, but nothing spectacular. However, the cafe is super cute and quiet - perfect for chill conversations or coffee chats. There's parking at a garage across the street or parallel street parking. read more

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Such a special place. The blueberry scone is INSANE. I love their specialty coffee drinks, but the Biscoff one is my favorite. It's delicious but then again, I'll eat anything with Biscoff in it. read more

Such a cool find! This was a brunch location for a date and I absolutely loved it. The ambience is very welcoming and the staff is so friendly. I had a hot Spanish cardamom latte (decaf). I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but it tasted amazing. The egg sandwich with a hint of za'atar paired really well with the house olive bread (recommendation from the staff) and also included tomatoes, arugula and an aioli. Definitely recommend this place for a quick bite and their coffee. read more

They're still in their soft opening phase so the menu isn't online yet but I've ordered a couple items in the last two visited. 5 stars for service - they're very friendly and eager to provide what you need. They have high chairs in the back btw, so just ask. Drinks have all been good. I've had the matcha - tasty but pricey for a matcha (yes, even for our area). The food is okay. I love Lebanese food - obviously, for those wanting meat, the current menu is scarce in that department. They do have one- a chicken wrap but that comes out after 11am. The outdoor seating is great. They have a really nice set up so you're in the shade and they bring everything to your table (unless you get a regular hot drip). Ask for hot sauce if you want some. Water isn't tap- filtered! The most disappointing was the shakshuka. I've had that everywhere I go for brunch and it was TINY. I think it was $12 or $13? It's one egg and it does come with a set of olive infused bread but it was underwhelming in size and depth. Otherwise I was pretty content with both my visits! read more

Dishes were delicious and pastries excellent. Great service. Liked watching the World Cup Soccer match on the large screen.

A brand new cafe in McLean! It used to be a subway but became a cafe by some of the owners of the salon next door. The cafe is currently in a soft launch and hopes to have a full launch in a month or so. I met Fatima, who is one of the owners and is just really nice! The interior is classy and really decorative bringing a modernized flair to Mediterranean and Arab design and art. It's comfy, perfect for working or socializing. Definitely has the potential to be an it spot! I got a rose vanilla latte which was really good! They use great coffee beans, you can taste! I didn't get a chance to try the food, I definitely plan on being back to try. I saw some pastries like croissants, kenefeh, which looks amazing and others read more

I would say this place is okay the drinks were good just know that all the lattes are not sweet and you will need to put sugar in some of them ...we got a pistachio latte and a Spanish cardamom latte. Loved the cardamom latte..pistachio needed sugar added so I did honey. The food was also "good" a little too much sour going on in the Kafta. I will say overall this is a good spot to checkout. Just very overpriced for what we got hence why I was more critical with this review for the price I've had way better coffee and food. Services was good atmosphere was good overall I would return. read more

Cafe Levantine - Pistachio latte - Lebanese Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Sahlab! You must get the sahlab. I arrived thinking I would get something like a Turkish coffee, but the sahlab description just leapt off the menu at me and I'm so glad I said yes. As I read online now, sahlab is apparently a sort of milk pudding made from orchid root flour. You don't need to know any of that to love it. All you need to know is that it's maybe the silkiest, creamiest drink I've ever enjoyed. It was as if I were consuming an edible pillow that hugged my mouth with every sip. On top, diced pistachios. On bottom, raisins saturated i this creamy goodness. As I finished the drink, I wondered if I should have a second. Too many calories, said I. But I sure did enjoy holding my cup high to the sky and shaking loose every last raisin. My, my...this cafe is one I'll plan to stop by every time I'm in the area. read more

This cafe was divine! Had the lemon lentil soup, the butternut squash soup, the grilled cheese, croissant sandwich, and many of the coffee options between me and my friends and we all agreed the food was amazing and the coffee was delicious! Staff was so friendly and kind and the cafe itself is so beautiful! This is an underrated GEM read more

Loud music and customers, tables with crumbles, and overpriced meals. Not a fan of my experience here as I know that I could have made the dish better myself. I ordered the most affordable, hearty meal on the menu and left dissatisfied because of the uncomfortable experience. I didn't realize so many people would be here for lunch during the weekday. Good for the restaurant but not my cup of tea. read more

We decided to try this spot as a family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 kids under 5). We visited on the weekend and it was a bit tough finding parking. We ended up parking near the hospital and hoped our car didn't get towed ( it didn't). If there is a parking lot nearby I need to find it. The place inside and out is really modern and welcoming. The menu is mouthwatering and honestly I wanted to try everything. We decided on the egg and Zatar breakfast croissant ( I chose to have it on olive bread and hubby had it on the croissant). The kids just had a muffin and mango juice. I do appreciate that they cater for kids by having boxes juices and milk on hand. I had a standard latte and hubby had the pistachio latte which was interesting because they add pistachio paste around the cup. It was a really good latte and I bought another one before I left. I asked them to make mine extra hot and they did just that. I just hate lukewarm coffee that you can drink in one gulp. The food came out pretty quickly and it tasted really good. My kids really enjoyed the chocolate muffin and we had to get another one! Service was excellent and the waiter was responsive to our needs considering she had "demanding" customers next to us. We sat outside because it was a lovely day and everything was really enjoyable. We will definitely be back to try some more menu items! read more

Chic interior, easy parking in shared office space lot. Delicious coffee menu, Great spot to meet a friend or 2 or hang out solo.

A great little find in the McLean area. It's a nice little bakery/cafe with middle eastern flavors. You order at the front counter and they bring out the food to you- we even had a super friendly server clean up as well when we were done. They have a good variety of coffees and teas, and a mix of breakfast and lunch foods. I went with the beef, cheese and egg sandwich and was pleasantly surprised by the great flavor of it- they used the same style beef you would find in a meat kibbeh and it was delicious. Would deficient go back. read more

Bright Lebanese cafe with delicious food and drinks I came here for breakfast with my GF and it was busy! We each got a pastry and a coffee (a hot Spanish latte for me and an iced vanilla late for her), and we both loved everything we tried. Staff were very friendly as well 4 stars for the menu selection. Although there were plenty of pastries, desserts, and hot food options, there wasn't much hot food for breakfast. read more

My friend and I stopped by for a late lunch. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely!

This was our first visit to Cafe Levantine, and it did not disappoint. My son got the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and Halwa with Pistachio Biscone. I got the Pistacinno and Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Cookie. Everything was amazing, and I especially enjoyed the cookie. Plus, the young lady who took our order was so kind! It's a bit pricey, so Cafe Levantine will definitely be a special treat for us. I highly recommend this lovely cafe. read more

Charming ambience and delicious food - we had the lebneh sandwich and the watermelon salad (a standout on a hot day). My child had a chocolate muffin - nice flavor and not aggressively sweet. read more

I bought several items to go -- labneh sandwich, kafta sandwich, egg & za'atar on croissant (I subbed pita), and lemon lentil soup. They were all **delicious**. Try the Levantine food--it's just wonderful. Wish I lived closer--I'd be at this place all the time! Also loved the coffee. read more

I came here to pick something up for lunch and got one of their summer drinks (iced mango matcha) and two of their Dubai chocolate cookies, both of which were delicious and would go back for in a heartbeat. I also got some food but felt it was a bit too dry for me but still very tasty and delicious. Service was quick and easy - the cashier double checked my order to make sure everything was correct, and was in and out in about 5 min or so. read more

Had the egg and zatar croissant. It was delicious! Cute place, limited selection but good coffee and ambiance.

The best place I've found since moving back from Los Angeles. The vibe is on point. Coffee is amazing and so is the food

Great ambiance. I got the iced Spanish latte and enjoyed it. It is kinda on the expensive side, my drink was around $10.

Cafe Levantine makes the best matcha latte in all of Mclean, VA. Ever since I first discovered this family-owned cafe, I have been a loyal customer. I have since introduced it to several of my friends, for whom it has become a staple destination -- I even have a friend who travels all the way from Maryland just to indulge in their matcha. They don't charge extra for alternative milk substitutes , and their ceremonial-grade matcha brings a rich, distinct flavor profile to every cup. I especially appreciate that the matcha powder comes unsweetened, allowing customers to adjust the sweetness to their own preferences using a sweetener of their choice. With its thoughtful details and consistently high-quality standards, Cafe Levantine feels less like a quick coffee stop and more like a place you can look forward to coming back to. read more

Not sure if the Mclean crowds are so affluent that a $8-10 small sized Latte and $3-5 croissant are considered normal, to me, it is way too expensive and not worth the price tag. I get it the cost of running a small business in the most expensive area in NoVA would be high, but if you think you can get away with this type of price/value ratio would probably be a mistake. I like the ambience and the friendly staff and I really want them to succeed, but not by robbing your patrons, hopefully. read more

Lovely atmosphere. I loved people watching here. It made me happy to see Lebanese customers come in and look so happy to see each other. All tables were full on a Saturday at noon. Despite it being busy, service was friendly, efficient, and helpful. The Mussakhan Wrap reminds me of a Jamaican beef patty in that there is a generous amount of meat, it is nicely spiced, and has a nice texture. The Fatteh reminds me of an Indian chaat. If you like garlic, you'll enjoy the sauce. My mouth was garlicky afterwards, but only temporarily. I really enjoyed the Turkish delight that came with my Turkish coffee. The server confirmed for me that the croissants are not made in house but could not tell me where they came from. Decor is beautiful and welcoming. read more
