Why Meso?

Meso is a nod to Mesopotamia, the land between the rivers, where our family's story begins.

It's why a palm tree grows out of our cup, why every sleeve wears an arch inspired by the Ishtar Gate, and why we tuck a little fortune inside: a nod to our family ritual of flipping a cup of Arabic coffee to read what's next.

Who's Meso?

Hi, I'm Samah, the founder of Meso. I've always loved baking and cooking for the people I care about, and I wanted to create a place that feels true to me and my culture, without ever compromising on quality.

That's why every syrup is made in house and every honeycomb bun is baked fresh by our small team. We hope you taste the difference in every cup.

Samah, founder Proudly woman-owned

What makes us different.

Syrups made in house We make every syrup ourselves, with real, natural ingredients.

Honeycomb, fresh daily Our honeycomb buns are made from scratch, by the founder and her family.

Prices that make sense Real ingredients shouldn't cost a fortune, so we keep our prices very reasonable.

A fortune in every sleeve Tear the arch on your cup sleeve to find a little note, just for you.
