After lunch, we decided to stop by this coffee shop, and it certainly did not disappoint. The service was exceptional--staff members were warm, attentive, and impressively knowledgeable about the menu. I began with the hot pistachio latte and the Arabic iced coffee latte. As someone who appreciates the delicate art of seasoning, particularly with cardamom, I found the balance in these drinks remarkable. The spice was subtle yet distinct, enhancing the flavor rather than overwhelming it. For dessert, we debated between the Ferrero dark chocolate cheesecake and the pistachio baklava cheesecake. In the end, I couldn't resist trying both--and I'm glad I did. Each dessert was beautifully presented and irresistibly inviting. Both cheesecakes were creamy, perfectly balanced in sweetness, and absolutely delightful. The ambiance was ideal for relaxing conversation over coffee. The music played at just the right volume, and the décor was elegant and thoughtfully designed. It created a warm, inviting atmosphere that offered a pleasant escape from the unassuming parking lot outside. With a full lunch menu and a tempting selection of gelato, this café is well worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

So the service was top notch from the time we walked in. Greetings and smiles! The restaurant was really clean and in order. The food and drinks were so much more than I expected them to be and in a really good way. My coffee had cardamom in it and boy was it good. The meat pie was on point. Didn't think I was gonna be able to finish my plate but I ate it all. I will be back read more

I love coming here to study for new certification, work through a coding course, or simply escape the work-from-home routine. The owner has created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's no surprise this place draws people in to relax, study, or get things done. My go-to is the chai latte with oat milk and an extra shot of espresso. They always get it just right. And the first time I saw them heat it using hot sand, I was honestly fascinated. It's such a beautiful blend of tradition and craft. read more

Best place to study at or do projects in alone or with a group, they close at 2am making it perfect for late night catching up. Safe place, owner is there at night and makes everyone feel safe. All staff are very kind and respectful. Coffees are of utmost quality, fancy coffees better than Starbucks. Lots of tables, chairs and sofas. They play background instrumental music making it easy to concentrate on your work. Great food, tacos and waffles! I am in love with this place. Good spot for proffesionals to come as well. I come here to advance in my nursing career and I feel safe and well served and respected. read more

Accidentally stumbled upon this gem. This place was not what I was expecting, I just thought it was coffee, but it has so much more to offer. Food items and desserts. I definitely will make time to try all that out. My visit was short, I ordered the Turkish coffee, it was great and the gentleman behind the counter was absolutely the nicest. read more

Awesome vibes and great food and drinks. The service was so welcoming and they had the order out quick. I think a portion of the proceeds go towards helping civilians in Gaza so it's great to support a business with a cause.

Really wanted to like this place bc I heard it's good for studying and open late. But tbh is very subpar. Everything's pretty expensive, I only got the monkey bread but it was dry and kind of tasteless. My friend got the chocolate milkshake which was too chocolatety.. also everything takes forever to come out. Just for my monkey bread it took almost 30 mins on a Sunday afternoon. Then while we were studying, a large group comes in apparently booked for a baby shower?!? We weren't kicked out or anything but it was obvious they needed space/chairs so we left to study somewhere else. Might be back to try another drink but overall kind of weird experience and mid food. read more

This is a conflicted reviewer. The first concern above all else is the general lack of cleanliness this establishment has. Dining area had questionably clean tables and seating. 1/2 bathrooms were out of order. The only usable bathroom didn't have toilet paper and the toilet seat was broken. The food and drinks were great. But due to the cleanliness of the facility, I can't help but wonder if back room/kitchen are kept to sanitary standards. Other reviews also mentioned lack of cleanliness which further validates my concerns. read more

I have had the opportunity to visit many cafes and this cafe by far had the worst customer service I have ever received. We had ordered a pasta to go that took more than an hour and a half to receive and we were not the only ones waiting for our orders. When we asked to cancel the order, the staff kept telling us no and kept saying it would be ready soon when in reality, that was not the truth. It was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon, and there was a decent amount of seating however they did not do a good job cleaning up the tables quick enough after customers left so people coming in would still sit at dirty tables. The food that we ordered though was okay for the most part. My favorite thing that we tried was the truffle fries and the crepe! The churros were very stale though so I would not recommend. The nitro brew was pretty good if you're looking for something without a lot of sugar as well! read more

Come here for coffee this weekend. Family was super nice. They went over the menu with us and made great recommendations. We had karak chai and arabic lattes. The portion size was large for a coffee shop. Karak chai had a nice saffron flavor. The arabic latte was my favorite. Great vibes and hospitality. Would definitely come back. read more

Amazing first experience from the moment you walk in. I would definitely recommend the karak tea, with a sweet pastry. Its the perfect place to come study, work or chat with friends, or a solo date, honestly guys just come experience it. read more

This place is a hidden gem, great for a coffee date or studying. Some of the matcha I've ever had. Everything beautifully presented. The order took a while but was worth the wait. For food I recommend the Lebanese Shish Tawooq tacos. Thank you. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Yes!!!! We have a new neighborhood place that's awesome. Wandered in here on a day off for a late lunch. It's literally right across the street from my house. Chicken crepe was perfect. Chicken was moist and the wrap (no I don't know what to call it) was like a very delicate tortilla. Owner and staff were friendly and helped me walk through the process since this was my first time in and I struggle to order at Taco Bell anyway. All around 5 stars. Definitely deserves several more trips to try new stuff I can't pronounce. :) read more

I would definitely think about going there for a study session too. read more

My partner and I visited on a Saturday. It was not very busy but there was plenty of business. It's not a huge location but they've done the seating well to provide plenty. You order via a kiosk. There seemed to be only two employees working so we did awhile but nothing awfully long. My partner had a caramel macchiato (iced) and she said it was delicious! It's definitely a sweet drink (not traditional macchiato more like Starbucks which is fine). If you like sweet, try it. I had a salted caramel latte (iced). It was perfect! It had enough flavor but wasn't too sweet. I don't live near this coffee spot but the coffee was so delicious that I would drive back out here for it! We tried a Turkish churro just to try something new while visiting this spot. It was good but also very sweet. I would definitely return for the coffee and to try other items on their menu. read more

Excellent desserts and coffee but they had posters on their front windows which supported some political groups that aren't necessarily peaceful.

WAIT FOR 51 MIN TO GET A CUP OF TEA! decided to bring my friends and i here since the service was good the first time around, everyone was nice and friendly. this time around i would say otherwise, the same guy that greeted my boyfriend and i the first time seem very drained and a little annoyed. one of my friends ordered a waffle as well which took 51min for her to receive. after being lenient my friend and i went to the gentlemen upfront, he apologized for the time and proceeded to say they're short staffed. honestly in a cafe opened this late that's very close to a university you would expect for them to have a bit more staff on hand. FINALLY after waiting for almost an hour, the gentlemen comes back with this tiny cup and my friends waffle after i explained to him at the register AGAIN my order (the syrian mint tea POT). the service is terrible, im embarrassed to even say i recommend my friends to come here. we just wanted to enjoy some tea with our waffle. it's now 11:52 we finally received our pot with no words from the same gentleman up front. read more

Such a cute and lovely cafe in Richardson! I loved visiting this cafe. Stopped in because the drinks looked cute and I needed a place to study and ended up being so pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Iced Peace Middle East Latte which is an iced latte with vanilla and lavender syrup and really enjoyed the creamy drink. I normally don't like floral/lavender in food/drinks but really enjoyed how creamy and subtle everything was. The drink was a good level of sweetness as well! We also ordered a Baklava Cheesecake which was so good!!! I don't even like cheesecake that much but really enjoyed the pistachio flavor with the creamy cheesecake topped with the flaky phyllo dough of the baklava. I highly recommend getting this if you like baklava flavors. The place is also family-owned! When I went, there were two young girls (I assume from the family) who were running around and making sure guests were having a good time. The other desserts/food also looked delicious! Very cute! 10/10 would come back :) read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend and I can definitely see why. This place has everything a homey neighborhood hole in the wall craves to be. The staff cares for their loyal diverse customer base as if they were family or regulars that have been attending for generations. It's a nice feeling seeing families dining here so late at night and students studying. Now for the food, baklava is my favorite dessert next to ice cream. I'm not even joking when I say one bite of their wide selection of baklava hypnotized me into a magical trance. I felt like I lived a thousand lifetimes before I even finished my second bite. The Jerusalem toast was so jam packed full of flavor. Its a good blend of meatiness balanced with tang and savory tartness from the olives and vinaigrette. It's pretty filling for what it is. The Turkish Panini was a fun surprise. I originally wanted the Shawarma crepe, but unfortunately they were out of Shawarma tonight. The staff kindly recommended me the Turkish Panini and I'm sure glad they did. I've never had a bread like this; moist on the inside but crunchy on the outside. The bread alone is a must try, but the sandwich fillings and dressings were delicious. Definitely coming back! read more

I've been eyeing this place for the longest time and I'm glad we decided to swing by after the gym! They are open Mon-Sat until 2am (except for Sundays-12am) which is great for post-clubbing, post-workout, dessert or just for those who would rather chat over coffee late at night but not have to leave at 9pm when most establishments close. The place was beautifully decorated, it felt cozy but had plenty of tables for several patrons to comfortably sit and enjoy. The workers were all incredibly welcoming and friendly. I'm thankful they recommended items as we were first timers. You can either order at the kiosk or scan the QR code for the menu and order at the counter. Note that the QR code menu may not be the most updated so the kiosk would have the most accurate prices. We ended up ordering the saffron tea and saffron cake as recommend as I didn't want to have anything caffeinated so late at night. I also ordered the Makdus Syrian Pickled Eggplant crepe. The items are made to order so be patient, it's 100% worth the wait. The saffron cake was creamy with notes of saffron and paired perfectly with the aromatic saffron tea. The crepe was very filling, packed with pickled eggplant, feta, topped with arugula, pomegranate, crushed pistachios and drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette. The soft crepe, the tart eggplant and the nuttiness from the arugula blended well together. It was a flavor I have never experienced before. We were also given a complimentary mocktail -- a perfect finish for our night! Highly recommend this place. read more

I came here on a Sunday morning, per the recommendation of a local friend, during my weekend trip to Dallas from Austin. It was a lovely, family-owned experience with lots of drink and sweet options. Great place to relax and chat with friends. The baklava was delicious and I am very picky about baklava. It was covered in a pistachio crème that was *mwah* - chef's kiss. Plenty of parking as it's in a strip mall area with other boba tea and middle eastern style restaurants around. read more

I have no words to describe how much i love everything here. First of all, the staff is amazing and they are always willing to help if you need recommendations (their menu is EXTENSIVE). I can never decide on what I want, but whenever you pick, it's bound to be delicious. The ice cream baklava and the syrian crepe were DELICIOUS. The presentation??? AMAZING. The Yalla Habibi latte is equally as delicious, but I will say it's definitely on the sweeter side. Also, they're open until 2am most (or all) days of the week which is perfect for anyone needing a place to study or hang out later in the night. I can't recommend this place enough, I will definitely be back here as often as I can! read more

If you want something different for brunch, and you don't mind waiting a long time for your order, than consider here The interior is an upgrade from before. Rather than random furniture, things feel much more elegant and purposeful. Service was pretty slow. We ended up getting our food before we got our coffee. It looked like maybe only the people work there? I really hope they can hire more people to keep things moving along. This is honestly the worst part of coming here. The collection waffle had all four flavors. the waffle itself could have been crispier, but it gets the job done. It was a struggle at times to cut the waffle with the provided butter knives. My partner had the ones with fruit, while the other two had pistachio and biscoff white chocolate. There's tons of flavor in each bite, without feeling like an impending sugar rush is going to occur. The eggplant,beets, and pomegranate toast is not warm but cold. Not a bad thing but not what I expected. It's actually quite refreshing like a salad. There was a good amount of pickled items but it never felt too sour. The bread was crunchy and was easy enough to cut. read more
