    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

    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 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.

    Great latte

    Spanish cardamom latte

    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!

    Pistachio latte
    Eli V.

    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.

    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

First, I didn't realize it was a sit down and order restaurant, I was used to short order. I was quickly seared and within a couple minutes one server had brought me water as well as fresh tandoori bread and a delicious spicy green sauce to go with it. A second server appeared quickly to take my order. I explained I was used to short order, and all I wanted was their version of chicken and steak (not ground beef.) The waiter explained how he'd do the combo on the menu and off he went. Having looked at the menu, I feared this might be an expensive option, and it was. But a few minutes later I was presented with a platter of delicious looking steak, chicken, rice, onions, tomato, and event a char-roasted jalapeño. It was enough food for my wife and I have had for dinner between us, so the price was well justified. Every thing was delicious. At the end of the meal, I asked if I could order another tandoori bread, and get a small to-go container of the green spicy spread to bring home for wife to try. They brought me both a generous helping of bread and the sauce, and charged me for neither. This service, combined with a delicious meal that, while expensive, will end up being three meals, means this is definitely a spot I plan to go back to as well as recommend.

Everyone was smiling, friendly, and extremely patient, which made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. The appetizers and salads were excellent--fresh, healthy, and thoughtfully prepared. The menu selections are well chosen and balanced. The main courses were absolutely delicious, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented, with outstanding quality and variety. The level of professionalism shown by the staff was exceptional. Their smiles never left their faces, and they handled our orders with great care and attention. Usually, in most restaurants, one person is assigned to serve your table, but here we noticed that all team members take turns checking on you and making sure you are fully satisfied. This teamwork truly reflects a high standard of service and hospitality. This atmosphere strongly encourages anyone to visit and enjoy a fine dining experience--whether with family, friends, or colleagues. We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for quality food and outstanding service. The experience concluded with a lovely gesture of hospitality: serving delicious baklava and authentic Turkish tea, which was a perfect ending to an already memorable meal. Honestly, I have traveled to Dubai, Egypt, Morocco, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, and I have not encountered food this delicious, service this professional, and a place this pleasant. It is an excellent venue for inviting loved ones and absolutely worth visiting--you will not be disappointed. Special thanks go to AYHAN for his supervision, professionalism, appreciation for food quality, and close follow-up with the staff to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our sincere thanks also extend to the professional restaurant management. We wish you continued success and prosperity, and we thank all the staff--especially AYHAN--for this outstanding experience. We wish you a wonderful day. Best wishes Tawfiq
