Cafe Lavi

This cute little cafe has a welcoming set up and pleasant atmosphere, really great for a quiet date night or work space, as seen in the photos. However, I wasn’t impressed with the chai latte I ordered; it was bland and not very hot. Also, when I went there was no pastries available (I was told the baker was “out of commission”). In my opinion, there’s a handful of other cafes within walking distance of this one that I would rather visit because this one is not really that remarkable.

I have walked by this cafe multiple times and always thought it was just small coffee shop serving only drip coffee. To my surprise it was a spacious area with lots of seating. The staff is friendly and Male you feel at home. They serve a wide variety of hot drinks from espresso to team. The quite space and caffeine make this a great place to come study or for a first date.

I tried an almond milk latte and it was good. Right amount of espresso and milk. Nice atmosphere. Hidden location in downtown. Plus for their late closing hours. My almond milk was quite expensive for a place that is just opening and is competing with other established coffee shops downtown. I can come back with friends, but I wouldn't go during working hours for a coffee break due to the distance and price. Update: I came back a few times already. :)

Very cute place. Conveniently located, with cute decor and great service. The drinks are yummy, too (try the matcha latte - it's not too sweet and is very tasty!). I just wish there was better air circulation - even though it was very chilly outside when I went, and the door was open, it still felt stuffy and hot.

Great little cafe. A bit off the path from mainstream downtown. Check it out if you want to try somewhere new. Good coffee and standard baked goods with some interesting Lebanese sweets. They also serve sandwiches and soup that are better than expected. Cozy seating and I hear they also have live music on the weekends.

Have been to this lovely little shop a few times for a latte to go and always found it excellent. It’s the kind of place that when you walk in and close the door behind you you’re happy to be there. Just had my first pastry from there, a treat from my son. If a palmier is your idea of bliss, you must try one from this shop.
