Reviews describe Café Sfouf as a bright, cozy neighborhood spot with a warm, homey vibe that invites lingering or studying. The interior and layout, including large windows and a long table by the window, are praised for a welcoming ambience that suits solo visitors and families alike. The staff are repeatedly noted as friendly and attentive, though a few mentions suggest the smiles can feel a touch forced. Coffee is consistently well received, with pastries and a small Sfouf cake accompanying orders as a nice touch, while some drinks like matcha can be pale or milky and the espresso not always perfect. The place can feel a bit warm in terms of ventilation, and prices are described as slightly high. Payment options vary in reports, with debit cards often accepted but Visa or Mastercard sometimes not. Overall, Café Sfouf stands out for ambience, consistency, and a sense of community, despite these minor drawbacks.
This used to be my absolute favorite coffee shop. The ambience is fantastic..
I've been coming here for years, but something changed…
The crema on the coffee is no more 🥲
The coffee doesn't taste the same, it's quite bitter now..
The Sfoufs don't taste the same…
will probably take a break from going & maybe try again in the future to see how things evolve..
Nous nous sommes arrêtés un matin de semaine pour déguster un latte.
Malheureusement l'expérience fut exécrable. Il y avait qu'une seule dose d'espresso dans une grande tasse de latte, ça goûtait que le lait chaud & Avec beaucoup d'amertume.
Une mousse complètement raté.
Nous avons avisé gentiment la propriétaire, qui a fait les lattes, elle était insulté, avec une attitude très défensive.
Non merci !!!
Top là! Belle énergie dans ce café de quartier. Une surprise a accompagné ma commande de café latté d'automne… je repasserai pour sûr. Merci à mes Français du coin ;)

I appreciate having me on your coffee shop. However :
- Double espresso tastes terrible. I had one sip.
- The place requires more ventilation.
- You feel the staff push themselves to smile.

I was so looking forward to trying out Cafe Sfouf, & settling in for a couple hours with a latte, but they do not take Master Card or Visa for payment. I literally had no way to pay since even my ATM card is Visa. 😢😢😢
