Crema's Take
“Tōv is an eclectic Portland gem where globally-inspired coffee drinks like the Arabic People Coffee with house-made vanilla and cardamom-caramel specialties sit alongside unexpected culinary delights like spicy potato and beef wraps and Egyptian salep. The baristas are genuinely knowledgeable and friendly, creating a chill, culturally rich atmosphere that feels like discovering a secret meeting place rather than just grabbing coffee. Whether you're seeking adventurous specialty drinks or simply want to slow down in a welcoming space that celebrates flavors beyond the usual, this is a spot that rewards curiosity.”

This was such a cute and eclectic cafe with great snack and drink options. I had the spicy potato and beef wrap, baboosa, and Egyptian salep. I had never tried any of these items before but they were all great. The prices were also good.
SO DELICIOUS! Per the baristas suggestion I tried the Arabic People Coffee because of the house made vanilla...it was just what I was needing. Everyone was friendly and what a fun environment.
Best hot non caffeinated drink I’ve ever had. Their hot food was great, too - very flavorful. My partner tried the Arabic latte which was also very good. Chill and cultural vibe throughout. They also sell their coffee beans by the bag. Staff is very knowledgeable and able to make dietary accommodations. It was also great to finally be at a breakfasty place that doesn’t sell pork based/included options - very inclusive.
I had high expectations for the place. I was expecting to get Authentic Turkish Coffee like I had in the bus. However, the works informed me that the owner stopped that service. Instead got a latte which doesn’t scream Egyptian Coffee. But I might be wrong. The Falafel Wrap was dry for my liking and the sauce for the falafel was good overall. The atmosphere and design is the only thing I believe had me stay.
Such a lovely spot for delicious coffee! The flavours are rich and luxurious, and very decadent. I had a hot cardamom and caramel speciality coffee, it was creamy, smooth, and perfectly sweet. The space itself is beautifully decorated and full of charm, with cosy window booths framed by traditional fabric dividers and cute floor seating options that make it feel both intimate and intriguing. The atmosphere is as inviting as the drinks. The staff are incredibly sweet, friendly, welcoming, and smiley. We didn’t realise the store had just closed as we were leaving, but even though we stayed a little past six, the staff never rushed us out. I’d highly recommend visiting. They also offer to go coffee for anyone on the go!
