"Recently graduating from its iconic but drafty red double-decker bus, Tov Coffee can now serve Egyptian coffee to loyal patrons in year-round comfort in its brick-and-mortar café on Southeast Hawthorne. Tov also serves American-style brewed coffee and familiar espresso drinks, but the main attraction here is the thick, slow-brewed, cardamom-enhanced Egyptian coffee made for leisurely sipping and long conversations. Those looking to cut the caffeine should try the milky Egyptian shalep. Bites include sweet pastries like the nutty ba’alawa and cheese konafa." - Katrina Yentch, Nathan Williams
