From the vibe, to the service, to the food. Cafe Levantine is a definite visit. I feel that this is a space that encourages creativity and great conversations.
The BEC or what is known as the Beef Egg and Cheddar was marvelous and the bread was a perfect compliment. The Egg Z was amazing, and the Cheese Press was chefs kiss.
Make this a must visit and Im sure you wont be disappointed at all.

Delicious pastry and coffee. Local favorite, downtown vibe, free street parking around and walking friendly.
Excellent coffee and food. I’ve tried a few breakfast menu items and they’ve been all great. My favorite coffee is their pistaccino which is cappuccino with the most delicious pistachio paste. The service is also great and friendly. I just wish they had more space to have more tables.

The guys at Goodyear recommended this cafe while I was waiting for my car it's a real hidden gem. The inside is clean and modern but still has that old world smell that transports to a foreign land. The coffee is smooth and fragrant, no Starbucks burnt brews to be found here. But by far the food was my favorite. This cafe has the best shakshouka that I've had in my life and their zatar grilled cheese was the best thing to help me clean my plate of leftover sauce. Speaking of their zatar seasoning I don't know what they are doing different from other zatar seasoning blends but theirs is really something unique and special. I would pay a lot of money to buy a jar of their zatar seasoning to use at my home.

I’ve been to Cafe Levantine 2 times since discovering it a month ago and both times the food and service were amazing! The musakhan wrap and biscoff latte are my absolute favorite! The iftaar during Ramadan is also a must try! I literally felt like I was eating a nice, warm home cooked meal with every single dish that was brought out. The flavors were amazing and you could tell how much care and effort were put into preparing the food. There might be a bunch of Levantine restaurants, but few know how to keep it authentic and flavorful like Cafe Levantine. Very aesthetic setting as well. Can’t wait to go back again :)

Love the spanish latte and zaatar croissant. Staff is lovely
I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Cafe Levantine due to misleading business hours and unprofessional customer service.
I was explicitly told they close at 8:00 PM and advised to call before then to place an order. When I called back at 7:20 PM, 40 minutes before closing time, I was abruptly told they were no longer open, and the tone on the phone was dismissive and rude.
If a business advertises an 8:00 PM closing time, customers should reasonably expect to be able to place an order until that time. Anything else is misleading. This single interaction resulted in the loss of five customers, as I was planning to visit with four others for a quick coffee and snack.
If Cafe Levantine routinely shuts down early, their posted hours should be corrected immediately. As it stands, this is poor communication, poor customer service, and a guaranteed way to lose repeat business.

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.

This place is fantastic. Like, it has the quality and hospitality of a true “hole in the wall” Lebanese restaurant combined with McLean fanciness in the atmosphere and execution. Perfection 👌
We got the zaatar egg croissant sandwich, a kids meal egg sandwich, the lemon lentil soup, an iced matcha, and the Spanish cardamom latte. Everything was outstanding!

The food quality was really good and the place has such aesthetic vibes. We ordered the Levant cheese press, the egg & za’atar croissant, and the beef, egg & cheese sandwich — all of them were delicious. The Spanish latte was amazing, but the pistachio latte wasn’t something I’d recommend.
