    Cookie butter latte
    Mercelis B.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Lovely place to have coffee and brunch . Ordered Pistaccinno and Mustakhan wrap. Loved their pistachio cappuccino. I only hoped it would be slightly more hot . Cappuccino was only warm. Their Mutakhan war so came with salad and yogurt .It was good .Overall good experience.

    Cute spot in McLean. We were tempted by the pistachio coffee we saw online and wanted to check out the place. Coffee and food is great! Unique flavors and friendly staff. The place gets super busy so recommend you get there early otherwise the items are sold out.

    Arayes Wrap and Egg & Za'tar Croissant
    William W.

    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!

    Great latte

    Great place for coffee, latte or espresso drinks. The absolute best scones in the DMV! Love the cheddar and blueberry variety myself. The staff is super friendly and the place is such a delight to visit. Love seeing a Levantine focused cafe doing well in the area.

    Spanish cardamom latte
    Ranjini S.

    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.

    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!

    Turkish restaurant with both fantastic food and service that has been in operation for over 40…read moreyears! Have a really nice outdoor patio and a stylish and slightly upscale interior. I came here with my fiance for dinner on a Friday night. The clientele was on the older side. Our meal started off with complimentary pita. It was not the most fresh, and it little served with a side of butter (which we found somewhat odd) so we were unsure of how the rest of the meal would be, but we were very pleasantly surprised. We got the appetizer sampler platter for 2 and their specialty, the Doner Kabab (which they only sell on certain days of the week). The appetizer sampler platter included a TON of food for the $25 price tag, and we were honestly full after just that, but the Doner Kabab that came out next was so good that we ended up eating all of it as well. Next time we come back we want to try their "desert sampler platter"!

    Came back for lunch yesterday with a couple of friends. I had the Musakka a la Turk, one friend…read morehad the Vegetable Musakka and the other had the Turkish Omelet. The Musakka dishes are served with a side of rice pilaf and the Omelete with a side of fries. Bottom line - all three of us found the entrees to be bland. In fairness, I have only had Greek Musakka before, but I expected more seasoning and flavor, and my friend (the vegetarian) noted that they didn't get a hint of Bechamel - only mozzarella. I tend to agree the entree was heavy on the mozzarella and light on other flavors. We agreed that the rice was very good, both in texture and mild flavor. The french fries also were very good. The service here continues to be beyond excellent. Really good service. If I could give 3.5 as a score, I would, because the service was exceptional. But this is the second time I was here and both times found the entree to be bland. Maybe that's how Turkish food is - if so, please let me know, but I doubt it. The restaurant, which is very attractive and comfortable inside, has been around for 45 years and has an average Yelp score of 4.2. So obviously, a lot of people like it. I just call it like I see it.
