Where else can you get your turtle mocha latte and a chicken kebab with a side of lebni (a thick yogurt-based dip topped with a pool of olive oil)? Only at Coffee Oasis, courtesy of husband-and-wife proprietors Belal and Qamar al-Ramahi. The Jordanian couple offer standard Mediterranean options like gyros and hummus, spinach pie and falafel.

(Though when have has anyone been this nice to you at your actual home?)
