Cafe Coffee shop

👍 Tried the Flat white, it was super. Staff is friendly, gets too crowdy during the noon. It's rather for socializing than working/ studying. People often mention coffee, good, milk, service, Amman, latte, matcha, friendly, staff, nice,

    Just tried one of the newest coffee shops in Amman, and it’s quickly rising towards the top of my list. I love the vibe in there, and the coffee I tried was awesome. I highly recommend the cold brew, as my wife and I both loved it. Perhaps our favorite cold brew yet in Amman. These guys seem like they really know what they are talking about and want to really partner up with the current coffee culture that is arising around the city. I think this has a chance at being one of the best coffee shops on this side of town, and will only continue to introduce people to specialty coffee. They are currently still working on the upstairs seating area, but it also looks promising, but for now that have a downstairs and outdoor seating area. Also come check them out at the Amman Coffee Expo this weekend.

    Trendy coffee shop in the area. Great place to hang out and socialize. They have tables outside as well as inside. I got there at around 1100 with no line, and then it got really busy shortly after that. Coffee was made right. Latte is delicious.

    Amazing coffee house to spend your time with friends at their outdoor space, you can study or work on the second floor as it’s more quiet. Great coffee and service. They call the name of the order when it’s ready, I would like to be called by name so I can’t miss my order or take someone’s order as that’s embarrassing. I suggest to ask for the customers name when ordering. 🙌

    The creamy texture was missed, but not too bad. Service was good. Not cozy.

    Delicious espresso! Very clean. Friendly service. Cappuccino was a smaller size (less milk) than I am used to (in Jordan). It was a double shot with less milk which allowed me to really taste the flavor of the espresso which I enjoyed. Also nice to see milk alternatives.

    I ordered a latte that wasn’t perfect and the tables weren't clean

  • 2/5 Joanne A. 6 months ago on Google
    The top worst coffee and matcha latte I’ve had. The americano tasted more like milk than coffee and the iced matche latte had the slightest taste of matcha, which tasted too earthy. They sell their matcha powder for 30 JD’s for what? Not sure if they just don’t know the correct matcha to milk ratio or the matcha is just bad quality.

  • 4/5 Rinad H. 1 year ago on Google
    Good coffee and great service, but the seating area isn’t comfortable enough to stay in for a long time. Great choice for take out.

  • 1/5 Junaid S. 1 year ago on Google
    Overrated. Highly overrated. Carrot cake had dust in it because probably they forgot to clean and wash carrots before baking the cake. We ordered tuna sandwich and they gave some other sandwich. Instead of accepting the fault and changing the order they gave strange excuses. Clearly they are not worried about their reputation and it’s worst marketing strategy. So a totally bad experience.

    Good place to have coffee on a weekend. Lots of outdoor seating to soak up sun! I would definitely recommend it as a place to socialize. Waiters are extremely friendly.

    An odd place for a very bouji crowd, I am not a coffee drinker but was exactly how I requested it.Almond croissant seemed very familiar to a place I frequented.

  • 1/5 Saifeddin Jamal Y. 9 months ago on Google
    The service is my main concern. I think there was a miscommunication at the cashier. He said iced Spanish latte and I mis-heard it (based on what he said). I asked if they can re-make it to hot Spanish latte and they refused. That’s basic customer service in any coffee shop. You get the customers coffee right or you re-make it. If base coffee is looking to expand they need to get the basics right. Disappointed in the service.

    Prices are higher than the average... The taste is good enough...

    Very quick service. One of the few coffee places around that is open early. Also, the coffee is good and a nice unusual blend.

    One of the best coffee houses in town. Their coffee is rich & amazing, flatbreads & sweets are delicious. They have friendly staff as well. Highly recommended ♥️

    Used to be my favorite coffee place till i got food poisoning this morning from the spanish latte😍 Still very nice just make sure the milk is good.

  • 3/5 Lina W. 6 months ago on Google
    I have been here a couple of times - from a hot drink post morning run, to socialising with others and as a workspace. Normally I order their iced matcha with non-dairy milk, either almond, coconut oat milk. I’m glad they have improved the quality of the matcha they have used (see photos on the progression). The space is two-storey - with outdoors (smoking) and indoors (non-smoking; ground and upstairs). Ground/downstairs is always noisy. While, upstairs is “quiet” than the downstairs and where the toilet is located. There is only one toilet, which is cleaned throughout the day but not as regularly and can get gross due to the influx of customers. However, as the day progresses, the entire space can get quite loud especially from afternoon onwards. Not ideal for meeting/video calls or quiet space. Seats are wooden (bench) and plastic, and are not comfortable after studying/working a few hours. Tables are mostly round and not ideal for people who may need to lay out a lot of items apart from 1 laptop and 1 drink. There is one large table that can accommodate up to 6 people upstairs. Not a lot of charging outlets. From my experience of ordering drinks, they normally call out orders based on the name of drinks not customers’ name - which if another customer orders the same drink this can lead to confusion. Or just wait around until they finish your order to prevent such confusion. They have almond, coconut, oat milk. Oat is slightly more expensive. Out of all of the coffee shops I have been to, their add-on prices for “alternative milk” is one of the highest. Overall, I found the place to be overpriced and overhyped. They do play their branding well to gather a specific type of customers or clientele - young adults and teens who frequent here because it’s a “cool” place to be. Highly don’t recommend for studying/working. Recommend for socialising. I guess the only positives I can say is I’m glad to know they improved the quality of their matcha powder over time, and use good milk brand options.

    Really like this place - great to study or to just hang out with friends. Coffee and tea drinks are very good as is their baked goodies. The staff is amazing and I wish I could name them all but there are so many I have met. There is lots of space inside and out. My tutor and I come a couple of times a week and always find a shady spot outside.

  • 5/5 Mutasem A. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect place to hang out with friends and study or to study alone. Although I was the oldest person there, it made me happy seeing so many students in uni 😄 miss those days. I felt like myself there too. Sweatpants and all

  • 5/5 Taqi A. 4 years ago on Google
    The Baristas were very good, very kind. The place were also clean, love the architecture, Very minimalism, simple. The Coffee was good. One of (not) many specialty coffeeshop. The ambience were very cozy too.. Not to crowd. Good for having some task to do, or even only for a small chat. Love the toilet design too.. Haha..

  • 4/5 Hiba M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to chill and meet up with friends, with options to buy from their merch too.

  • 5/5 Nora I. 1 year ago on Google
    By far, the best coffee place in Amman! Amazing atmosphere in the morning to grab a coffee, healthy snack and work, or catch up with friends! Love the Abdoun branch!

  • 5/5 Lalalujie 1 year ago on Google
    the aesthetics are something else! coffee was okay the service was great and the baristas are extra friendly and funny.

  • 5/5 Saif A. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a wonderful experience going there, from the lovely atmosphere to the incredible staff at this specific location. The staff interactions reminds me of the days I served coffee and the great relationships we used to build back then. Kind of tempting to just jump behind the bar and make lates with them. I highly recommend to anyone As this place is such a catch! :)

  • 4/5 Zaina B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good coffee but not very special, I found my Spanish latte rather sweet and a bit on the colder side. The staff is very friendly and polite. Clean and cozy. Over all design of the place is too basic. Good place to grab your coffee if your around the area.

  • 4/5 Diaa O. 2 years ago on Google
    Good coffee quietly and nice people, quiet place for working or studying as long the widows are closed 😅

  • 5/5 Abdullah 2 years ago on Google
    I like the atmosphere there and of course the coffee also had an amazing espresso pudding

  • 5/5 Mazen B. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended. One of the best specialty coffee places in Amman. Tried their Ethiopian beans in V60, well done Najjar! The cup was very rich in flavors, really enjoyed its fruitiness. Will definitely come back in my next visit to Amman.

  • 5/5 Zouheir T. 2 years ago on Google
    Coolest place / coffee shop in Amman! Owner and staff are super friendly! Outdoor and indoor spaces

  • 3/5 sharif r. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s a nice place love the cold brew, but i have been in three times and only Successfully been able to order once, last time the cashier was making sandwich after 1 min I couldn’t wait and left. Please dedicate 1 person to the cashier to take orders. Thanks

  • 5/5 Anas M. 3 years ago on Google
    An absolutely lovely place to go to at 7 AM, very quite, very nice. It is small and comfortable, and one of the windows is both massive and absolutely beautiful to sit next to. AND THE TABLES DONT WOBBLE. THANK YOU! This is my second place in Jordan where the coffee tasted specialty. My Guatemala Cortado was absolutely delicious, and I've been to 5 famous specialty coffee shops here. Bare in mind that these arent their normal blends, which are temporarily unavailable. I also ordered a cheese and tomato sandwich, which is made with really good kaak bread! It was a little small, but really delicious!

  • 4/5 A.Hakim J. 2 years ago on Google
    Coffee is good. A fancy looking small caffe. There is a sidewalk seating. Parking is almost impossible. Good service. Very pricy (expect to pay 6 bucks for a medium size latte).

  • 3/5 Patrick S. 2 years ago on Google
    Bright comfy space in a calm residential area. Baristas do not know much details about their beans, origin source etc.. cakes & cookies are good.
