Algebra Tea House
2136 Murray Hill Rd, Cleveland, OH
Crema's Take
“Algebra Tea House is a vibrant, mission-driven spot in Cleveland's Little Italy where Palestinian home cooking takes center stage, with standout dishes like beef stew and Iraqi kebab sandwiches that pack serious flavor. While the coffee and tea are secondary to the real star—the kitchen—this independent shop shines as a gathering place with genuine warmth, affordable pricing, and a powerful sense of community purpose that keeps people coming back. The décor celebrates Palestinian heritage and solidarity, making it feel like more than just a café, but a space where food, culture, and activism come together.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Can’t believe this gem in the middle of little Italy Cleveland. Palestine family’s home recipes fresh from the grill to your table. I’m from Michigan (middle eastern food center of America) and this shawarma was incredible. Food 5/5 Service 4/5 Atmosphere 5/5
