This place was so beautiful and completely amazing!!!! The decor, the atmosphere, and all of the food were incredible!! I loved looking at all the details around the main floor and the seating area below. What really amazed me was the beautiful prayer room, it was so well kept and nice to pray in, may Allah swt bless this establishment and the people who work there! For food, I got the baba and it was so good, its so hard to find halal sandwiches and this definitely fulfilled the craving!! For coffee I got the cherry vanilla latte and it was one of the best I’ve ever had, the barista was very sweet and kind in recommending it!! This place was my favorite spot while visiting Boston, I would come back just for this. Beautiful lovely place, would recommend!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience at Luxor Cafe in Cambridge, MA! The latte was absolutely perfect—rich, smooth, and crafted with real care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The sandwiches were just as impressive—fresh, flavorful, and incredibly tasty. Every bite was satisfying! The cafe itself is very clean and well-maintained, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommended if you're in Cambridge. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Discovered this cute coffee shop scrolling through instagram. I loved the decor, the sandwiches were great, and the latte was delicious. I may become a regular.
Love this place. Delicious food, great community vibe. - great matcha latte made fresh, not from premade mix. - staff are super friendly and accommodating (ex: I needed sandwich meat cooked separately for pregnancy, they were great about it.) - generous portion sizes - tons of space and outlets, music isn't too loud (this is rare! please keep it this way!) Good spot for working or meeting with friends.
I went to Luxor Cafe and was very impressed. The coffee was excellent, the food was delicious, and the service was great. The ambiance was also very pleasant. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good coffee, a good meal, and a nice atmosphere !!
This Egyptian cafe is so beautifully decorated with ample space of seating. We got the The Harvard Yard and The Mona (I got fried egg on the Harvard yard instead of medium). Both sandwiches were sooo delicious. It’s been hard finding good food in Boston as a person who comes from the restaurant capital of the USA (North Jersey). The chef knows what he’s doing here! The refreshers were also very delicious without added sugar, very refreshing. The ambience is very quiet with everyone respecting each others space and not speaking so loudly (lots of people working or a studying). Highly recommend! Ps - please open a location in NJ
The Dubai chocolate French toast and fresh berry French toast were beyond delicious. Amazing drink selection as well. We also tried a turkey sandwich which was excellent but nothing can compete with their French toast!
Good food, good pastries, good drinks, and just the absolute BEST employees and vibes humanly possible. Everyone working at Luxor goes out of their way to ensure you have an awesome experience there, and the place is always packed because, well, if you know you know. Fantastic atmosphere that makes it feel like a real neighborhood spot. Strong WiFi, which in Boston/Camberville is a HUGE plus given how rare that is, and it’s open mad late, which is also very rare out here. Plus they’re on TooGoodToGo!!! Honestly, no notes, this is now my go-to late night cafe 😀
A friend and I saw this place online and decided to take the trip down to try it. Small and unassuming, the cafe inside was actually a bit more spacious than I expected! Ordering was easy, menu had plenty of options you don't see anywhere else. Staff was wonderful and kind, atmosphere was great, and got to try quite a few things off the menu. I myself got the date caramel latte and The Lulu sandwich, while a friend got the cloud latte as well as a different sandwich. Everything was incredible, hands down. I almost felt tempted to order more to go for later. Overall, worth the trip, and we'll be coming back soon to continue trying other items on the menu.
This is truly the ideal coffee shop: excellent food and drinks with lots of choices, tons of space, and a great community gathering place. Excellent matcha with several flavors available. Earthy with subtle bitterness that does not overpower. Their matchas tend to lean more earthy and bitter, so ask for extra flavoring if you prefer a more balanced taste between bitter and sweet. I don't typically like more earthy matchas but this one does it so well that it bypasses that preference. Their food is also amazing. Make sure to come by on a Friday or Saturday night for their chicken platter special. This is also a fantastic place to meet with friends, go on a date, work or study, or hang out. Very spacious, lots of outlets, good wifi, and a downstairs that includes more seating and a prayer area. All around this is the ideal coffee shop with excellent drinks, good vibes, community gathering place feels, and supporting a local business.
