The decor inside is so eclectic and quirky, with a strong emphasis on Palestinian pride and heritage! I loved all the weird and different seating and the homemade mugs
I’ve been wanting to go here for years but put it off because of how awful parking is in Little Italy but it turns out you go through a narrow driveway and there are around 6-7 spots in the back!
But honestly, the food & drinks were below average. Our drinks came cold and with the wrong flavors, the shakshuka was oily and lacked salt, and the pastries seemed to be made with ready-made bread that had a tough texture.
We enjoyed the atmosphere, but sadly, the breakfast was disappointing.
it’s frustrating to pay for food you can’t even eat
Hope they improve the quality soon!
That said, the food experience was very disappointing and there is a lot of room for improvement. We ordered shakshuka, falafel, fruit platter, mango strawberry lassi, Iraqi kebab sandwich, shawarma sandwich, cappuccinos, honey bread, and labneh. Unfortunately:
• The shakshuka was just scrambled eggs—not what shakshuka is supposed to be.
• The falafel tasted like frozen falafel.
• The lassi was bitter.
• The honey bread was literally honey scraped onto pita.
• The Iraqi kebab sandwich and shawarma sandwich were basically the same.
• The fruit platter was just three fruits on a plate, with no effort in presentation.
• The labneh was not labneh at all—it was just cream cheese.
• Mexican omelet was supposed to have home fries and bacon, they missed both. But didn’t forget to charge for both. Brought a side of bacon when my friend was halfway done eating.
• Even the coffee was so poor we had to go elsewhere afterwards.
On top of that, the bread wasn’t warmed and wasn’t even proper pita—it resembled the bread usually placed under rice at Turkish restaurants. The service model also made little sense: order at the counter, wait, then line up again to pay.
We still tipped generously out of respect for the cause, but strictly on food and service, this place was a letdown. The 4.7-star rating feels misleading. People may be coming here to support the mission (which is admirable), but the food itself is not something I would recommend.
Food 5/5
Service 4/5
Atmosphere 5/5
The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a warm vibe that reflects the owners’ culture and passion. Their tea menu is extensive and thoughtfully curated, featuring traditional and creative blends. Beyond the drinks, Algebra Tea House serves up delicious Palestinian-inspired food and treats that complement the beverages.
The staff are friendly and welcoming, making it a great place to relax, study, or catch up with friends. Whether you’re a tea lover or just looking to explore new flavors and cultures, Algebra Tea House offers a unique and memorable experience in the heart of Cleveland.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in supporting local, minority-owned businesses while enjoying great tea and cultural vibes!
Hummus is a must try. Very nice dish. Pita bread was very fresh and well made. I had a latte which was decent. Could use more flavour.
Overall a decent place to hang out.
