"Solid café near Harvard Square with Middle Eastern–inspired drinks and food. Saw this place blow up last summer during the whole Dubai chocolate craze, so I finally stopped by to try a couple of their specialty lattes and some food. Everything I had was solid, just a bit pricier than other cafés around Cambridge. For drinks, I tried the iced baklava latte and the churro latte. At $10, I expected something a little more memorable. The baklava latte had undissolved bits settling at the bottom, and beyond that, it tasted like a regular latte. The churro latte was slightly better hot, but still basically a cinnamon latte with a different name. Food was also on the pricier side, but it’s made in the more professional kitchen next door. Both the sandwich and the Dubai chocolate French toast were great. I especially liked the French toast. The dense pistachio kataifi and chocolate came together in a way that was super sweet and a bit muddy, but the cream served on the side really helped clear things up. Still incredibly heavy, but very satisfying. I’d come back for the French toast once in a while, but probably not for the drinks. Maybe it’s the Harvard premium (they do offer 10% off with a physical student ID), but overall, not my pick for coffee."

"This Egyptian cafe is so beautifully decorated with ample space of seating. We got the The Harvard Yard and The Mona (I got fried egg on the Harvard yard instead of medium). Both sandwiches were sooo delicious. It’s been hard finding good food in Boston as a person who comes from the restaurant capital of the USA (North Jersey). The chef knows what he’s doing here! The refreshers were also very delicious without added sugar, very refreshing. The ambience is very quiet with everyone respecting each others space and not speaking so loudly (lots of people working or a studying). Highly recommend! Ps - please open a location in NJ"

"It's such a nice and cozy spot. I tried the rose matcha latte, and it was really good—beautifully balanced and not too sweet. I also had one of their sandwiches; it was decent, though the drink stood out more. The atmosphere feels warm and relaxing, a lovely place to sit for a while and unwind"

"A friend and I saw this place online and decided to take the trip down to try it. Small and unassuming, the cafe inside was actually a bit more spacious than I expected! Ordering was easy, menu had plenty of options you don't see anywhere else. Staff was wonderful and kind, atmosphere was great, and got to try quite a few things off the menu. I myself got the date caramel latte and The Lulu sandwich, while a friend got the cloud latte as well as a different sandwich. Everything was incredible, hands down. I almost felt tempted to order more to go for later. Overall, worth the trip, and we'll be coming back soon to continue trying other items on the menu."

"Nice service. Very yummy food! Had the shakshuka and the Harvard Yard sandwich. The sandwich was slightly bland, so be sure to order it with Spicy Chipotle mayo. Coffee is from my favourite local roaster Broadsheet. Also they offer discounts to Harvard affiliates! So can be economical compared to similar meals elsewhere in Cambridge."
