​Tōv Coffee II offers a distinctive and immersive coffee experience that stands out in Portland's vibrant café scene. Originally operating from a charming double-decker bus, Tōv has transitioned to a brick-and-mortar location on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard, continuing to captivate visitors with its Egyptian-inspired offerings and warm ambiance. ​

Tōv Coffee II is renowned for its unique fusion of traditional Egyptian flavors and classic coffee preparations. The Turkish coffee, brewed with finely ground beans and cardamom, delivers a rich and aromatic experience that many customers have praised. Another standout is the "Nectar of the Gods," a specialty drink that has garnered acclaim for its delightful taste. For those seeking non-coffee options, the Sahlep—a nut and milk-based hot beverage—is a comforting choice. All syrups and sauces are crafted in-house, ensuring freshness and authenticity in every sip.

Emphasizing quality, Tōv sources premium beans to create its diverse menu. The meticulous preparation methods, including traditional brewing techniques, reflect the café's commitment to delivering exceptional beverages. This dedication extends to their tea selections, offering a well-rounded experience for all visitors.​

The interior of Tōv Coffee II exudes a cozy and exotic atmosphere, adorned with Middle Eastern and Turkish décor, including couches and cushions with ornate embroidery. While the indoor space provides an intimate setting ideal for individuals or small groups, the café also offers outdoor seating options suitable for larger families or gatherings. The background music complements the ambiance, enhancing the overall experience.​
