Very chill and laid back place. They have speciality coffee and other non coffee options such as matcha and chai latte. They have delicious bites such as cookies and cakes. The place also serves draft beer which I find convient. I personally would enjoy a beer in a coffee place. The coffeeshop has also a collection of outdoor apperals for sale from The Stray Compass such as backpacks and leather good. There is a large indoor area and also and outdoor one. The interior decoration is very unique to this place blending the outdoorsy vibes with neat elements. There are also some small chairs for children. The place is quite which is ideal for work especially in the morning hours.

If you’re a coffee lover, this is definitely the kind of place you’d want to find. The coffee is truly special, very distinct and unlike the usual similarity you find in most cafés. It stands out in the best way and is honestly one of the best I’ve tried. The space itself has this industrial, workshop-like feel. urban, cozy, and very authentic. You can see the owner’s handmade leather goods displayed inside, which adds so much character and makes it feel like part café, part creative studio. It’s small, community-based that makes you feel like you could easily become a regular.

A hidden gem in Gemmayzeh. Cozy little coffee spot with a really nice vibe. I honestly loved the coffee, simple, good, and made right. Definitely coming back and bringing my friends.

I loved this new coffee shop with a special identity between gemmayze and saifi. Smartly decorated and the coffee was very good . I tried flat white . That I may come back and repeat the pause coffee ride.
