Reviews describe Cafe Sfouf as a warm, cozy space with a relaxed ambience and bright, homey decor that makes it feel like a place to linger or work. The atmosphere, tasteful interior, and attentive, friendly service are repeatedly praised, with many noting that a pleasant energy and welcoming staff create a comfortable environment and even a small Sfouf cake with each coffee. Some longtime patrons feel changes in the coffee quality and crema, reporting a bitterness or a shift in flavor since recent changes. Occasional practical drawbacks appear, such as limited payment options that do not include Visa or Mastercard, a matcha latte that can be pale from milk, and in some reviews, ventilation could be better. Prices are sometimes described as a bit high relative to offerings, but overall the cafe leaves a positive impression for those seeking a cozy spot for a quiet coffee, study, or chat.
Très mignon petit café de quartier. Belle atmosphère aussi bien pour discuter que pour travailler, parfait avec un café avec une part de sfouf. Nous y allons depuis plusieurs années. Seule chose, le reste de la nourriture est un peu trop dispendieux.
The food was okay, we didn't enjoyed the hummus & the herbal tea. But we enjoyed the lemon square, tartinade au lebnah & zaatar. Overall way overpriced for the size & ingredients. Nice service & warm ambiance

While sfouf is a super cute coffee shop, I feel very ripped off when it comes to the food. This toast with a "side salad" & a teaspoon of labneh cost me $16.... That's insane So sad :(
Je suis tombé en amour avec ce petit café! Le personnel est toujours souriant & accueillant, le café est vraiment bon & l'ambiance est parfaite! J'adore y aller pour étudier.
Nourriture délicieuse & staff très gentil & agréable. J'y retournerais sans hésiter. Il y a aussi beaucoup de places pour s'asseoir: grandes tables, stools au bord de la fenêtre, divans, etc. Café très chaleureux & lumineux. :)
Honestly disappointed. Got an espresso for a fair price (regular for the city) it didn't taste good at all. Maybe the machine needs to be cleaned. The sfouf seemed to be somewhat stale so I don't understand the purpose of giving them if they're not gonna be the reason keep coming back for more here. Maybe I'll come back to try again.
I don't get the vibe of this place. The first time, I ordered a chai tea latte & a cookie. They offered a small homemade dessert, which was okay but didn't taste incredible to me. The chai tea latte wasn't great-I can't tell if it was the type of milk, but the overall taste wasn't to my liking. I drink a lot of chai tea lattes. Went for a second time hoping for a better experience. Asked for a filtered coffee, but they didn't have it, or the machine was off-I end up not understanding it. I settled for an americano with milk. Again, it didn't taste good, & the paper cups were flimsy; they leaked in my car's cup holder, creating a mess. The staff member was playing with her phone while taking my order. I honestly don't get it. While the ambiance & decor seem nice, I believe people go for the hipster vibe & free internet mainly.
