My experience at this coffee shop was very disappointing. The latte was served cold, and the food took a long time to arrive even though it wasn’t busy. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.

This is an Egyptian coffee shop; I came to buy some bread.

Sticky Bun: The caramel and pecans ensured it won't be bad, but the syrup coating and the crispness of the crust were uneven. It felt a bit perfunctory.

Almond Croissant: I didn't expect it to have a sugary filling inside! A light cinnamon flavor, not too dry, not bad.

Chocolate Croissant: A simple and straightforward croissant with a chocolate stick inside. Using dark chocolate prevented it from being too sweet, which is a plus.

Plain Croissant: Surprisingly, it was still delicious even after being refrigerated for two days. The bread was very soft and had a subtle peppery aroma.

I ordered a matcha latte, and it tasted very thick and strong as if I was directly drinking the matcha concentrate. I tried to mix it better with the milk but that didn’t help.

I told the barista the matcha latte was weird and asked if I could get a different drink. To be fair, I made a mistake of saying it felt like drinking syrup, when I actually meant matcha concentrate. That created some confusion, and he insisted they didn’t add any syrup - rightfully so.

Even though I didn’t explain it well and might have created some misunderstanding, he didn’t handle it professionally and seemed to be quite annoyed. He did give me a different drink in the end, but the experience was unpleasant. In any case, the drink was very bad. Could be just a bad example tho.

Nice vibes and very friendly staff. The drink prices are expensive (Tatte prices) and honestly I don’t think they are comparable. It is also a bit dirty in there. If they correct these things, then they will be 5 stars!

Heard great things about baklava latte so I was super excited to try. Latte was super watery (foam and liquid were separated) and nearly choked on gritty pieces at the bottom of drink. Really wanted to like this place but very disappointed and probably wont come back :(

Good food, good pastries, good drinks, and just the absolute BEST employees and vibes humanly possible. Everyone working at Luxor goes out of their way to ensure you have an awesome experience there, and the place is always packed because, well, if you know you know. Fantastic atmosphere that makes it feel like a real neighborhood spot. Strong WiFi, which in Boston/Camberville is a HUGE plus given how rare that is, and it’s open mad late, which is also very rare out here. Plus they’re on TooGoodToGo!!! Honestly, no notes, this is now my go-to late night cafe 😀

Love the chai. Perfect place to get a tea and curl up in a cozy chair to get some work done.
