    A really lovely bookstore and cafe with a nice selection of English books (separated by fiction, second hand, business, and other topics). The people are really friendly and leave you unbothered to enjoy a drink and book for as long as you like. The inside has a nice table to cowork on as well as some couches scattered around. They also have a lovely terrace in the back under the shade of trees.

    Love the space and the open backyard, there are a lot of books and art for sale. I do think the coffee is over priced.

    During our month visiting in Amman, I would spend time in this bookstore/coffee shop. It serves delicious cappuccino and the outside garden is the perfect place to read or just visit. Met very friendly locals here. Even picked up a 2nd hand book. Check them out !

    Im the good bookshop you feel like you're spending time at a friend's house, they have a space to read and study, good coffee which I hope it gets better, boardgames when you're with a group. The space outdoors in the back is giving authentic Amman vibes ✨️

    Beautiful bookshop. Lived the division of the interior. The coffee bar is a brilliant idea, especially since it's small and doesn't take a big portion of the space. Great selection of books. Sincere staff.

    There is a wonderful little garden out back that’s so pretty and peaceful with lemons and guava fruit on the tables from the trees. Plenty of shade from sun and peaceful to work or just turn off your brain for half an hour. Nice shop too but the garden stole the show for me

    Staff are pleasant and helpful. Quiet place to meet people or read.

  • 4/5 Yousra A. 9 months ago on Google
    It's one of my favourite places to stay and read or even work. It's a quiet place with good drinks. However, I wish they could keep the prices of the drinks the same as other coffee houses

  • 5/5 Sirillable 7 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    A lovely and cosy place with a good selection of books and coffees. I loved the garden patio in the back. A great place to meet with friends, work or just hide from the heat of Amman and enjoy a game of chess. I highly recommend it!

  • 4/5 osama k. 8 months ago on Google
    It's a very good place with good vibes to clear your mind, read and relax. The staff are friendly and they have a fabulous backyard. They offer a free WiFi. Their coffee is high-quality though they have limited food options.

  • 5/5 Burhan O. 1 year ago on Google
    An excellent choice for studying, there is power outlets by every table and a quiet atmosphere with nice and hospitable workers. Also, water is free which really drew a smile on my face because I come from a low income country and the prices are a bit high for me. I will revisit as soon as possible ❤

  • 4/5 mutasem a. 10 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed my time, the coffee and the general vibes at this café. it could use a little more clean-up and better service in the backyard area but other than it's a nice hangout spot

  • 5/5 Inoor A. 9 months ago on Google
    Very nice setting they have a beautiful garden and a big collection of books, I tried the Spanish latte and it was good, and the location is nice and surrounded by a lot of restaurants and cafes

  • 5/5 A M. 1 year ago on Google
    This cosy bookshop makes the best coffee and has a pretty little garden to enjoy it in. The staff are lovely and the place has a really calm vibe. They serve sandwiches and baked goods too which look delicious but I only ever visited first thing for coffee. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Rainbow Street area.

  • 5/5 Amani F. 1 year ago on Google
    The best lattes I have had in Amman, and they have very good alternative milks (oat milk, almond milk, etc.). The garden is beautiful as is the inside. It's calm and quiet, always warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The best place I have found to do work in Jabal Amman. I have never found it to be too crowded that you can't find a seat. The service is also really good. The only thing is that the pastries are for the most part very overpriced for what they are, so I can only really recommend the drinks here.

  • 4/5 Suhaib A. 1 year ago on Google
    The stuff is very classy. I love this place and the coffee they delivered. Best to go is on the morning with shiny sun.

  • 5/5 Mariana El K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice bookshop/ café in Jabal Amman, perfect for working or spending some quiet time. They have a very nice patio in the back as well. Bear in mind that parking is an issue in that area, so consider walking or finding a nearby spot.

  • 5/5 Dima J. 1 year ago on Google
    My go-to bookshop for working and spending some quite time surrounded with books. What I love about The Good Bookshop is the peace there, and the delicious coffee. Will definitely be visiting again! Cost of coffee cup I paid: around 3.5 jds

👍👍 The lamb chops with its assortment was excellent for its tenderness and complete meal good to share. The buffaloes wings was spicy and complimented the drink well as expected.

👍👍 A good place to have a coffee after a long work day. I appreciate that they display products from local vendors that promote local artisans work from around Jordan. The cafe’s atmosphere is good even though it’s situated in the center of the Abdali Mall. The service is quite fast and their employee...
