Welcoming staff, super quick service even when packed. They bring the food to your table even when it's mostly a cafe, not a restaurant. Super cozy interior

Food is delish, also have to note on amazing serving look! A rare thing for breakfasts

Matcha is really nice too

Such a cute little coffee shop. I only came here for pastries from TGTG but they all exceeded my expectations and hope to come back for more pastries and try their coffee! The bags are also really cute

I live in Middletown, and I stopped by this café to spend about 30 minutes on my laptop to finish a project. I was told that laptops are not allowed at all and that I had to close my computer immediately. I was also warned that this is a “strict rule.”

This rule makes no logical sense. A phone is also an electronic device. If laptops are banned, then phones should be banned as well. Otherwise, the policy is completely inconsistent and unreasonable.

Customers should not be told how or with which device they are allowed to spend their time, especially when they are quiet, respectful, and not bothering anyone. I was not taking calls, not watching videos, and not disturbing the space in any way.

This feels like a management problem, not a customer problem. The manager seriously needs to reconsider these policies, because this kind of attitude pushes people away rather than welcoming them.

Very disappointing experience.

The café has a distinct Moroccan charm. The coffee and cappuccino were delicious, and the Moroccan cookies were amazing—my favorite was the almond one. I loved the round mosaic tables, the beautiful paintings, and the large decorative vases—such thoughtful details. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and lovely vibes make it a perfect spot to relax. We’ll definitely be coming back to try more!

Absolutely loved this place! It’s so cozy and offers a huge selection of food, drinks, and desserts. Everything is also halal!! We tried the chicken avocado sandwich, the New York combo sandwich, the iced strawberry matcha latte, and the fiber boost smoothie, everything was delicious!

It’s rare nowadays to find a cozy, welcoming cafe that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg for a simple coffee + sandwich. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic community cafe with Moroccan inspired food. Great place to grab a delicious sandwich or more substantive meal for lunch or breakfast, plus pastries for any time of day. They still don’t allow laptops, to encourage conversation, which I think works well. It was packed when we went, but we’re still able to get a seat outside without much effort. I highly recommend trying out any of their platters or the New York Combo. Both were incredible! Can’t wait to come back soon.

Regardless of how much I miss anything Arabic in this city, but this Moroccan Café truly stands out on its own. The food is amazing, the drinks are excellent, and the hospitality is unmatched. Everyone who works there makes you feel genuinely welcome everything is honestly a 10 out of 10.

Great food and coffee. The shakshuka is tasty, especially with the beef and lamb sausage and cheese. No working allowed here, which means no laptops or tablets, even though most people were on their phones.
