"An Egyptian coffee shop originally operated out of a red double-decker bus that became a quirky landmark on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard in Portland." - Harry Cheadle
"Once located inside a double-decker bus, this Egyptian cafe now serves cardamom Americanos and chocolate-mint cold brew in a purple-hued space decked out in ornately embroidered cushions and couches. One of Tōv’s biggest draws is its Egyptian or Turkish coffee service, but fun, involved milk drinks like cardamom-caramel lattes and rose mochas remain favorites, as well." - Eater Staff

"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
"Where else but Portland can you sip Egyptian coffee in a double-decker bus? This cafe has a fun selection of espresso drinks, including rose matcha cappuccinos and the memorable Nectar of the Gods, a caramel latte with cardamom. For something ideal on a hot day, Tov’s Mint Thing — cold brew with mint, oat milk, and raw cane sugar — is a particular standout. Plus, the brightly-decked interior, with its cushy chairs and tented rooftop inspired by the owner’s native Egypt, may well be more comfortable most living rooms." - Thom Hilton, Michelle DeVona
