Habibah Sweets

Local tour guides consider a visit to Habibah a city tour essential, and for good reason: this legendary sweets shop, originating in 1947 Jerusalem, has made its way across to Jordan, where it continues to sell and serve some of the finest Palestinian Kunafa (cheese pastry drenched in sweet syrup) for miles around.

More in Cafes

Shams El Balad

The delightful hip cafe is a rare find in Amman. Set on a hilltop overlooking the downtown's cream-coloured buildings, Shams El Balad is much more than its scenic location. The dishes served here are deliciously experimental twists on Middle Eastern classics, and quite possibly warrant a cook book of their own.

Rumi Cafe

Rumi is as close as it gets to an Ammani take on a hipster coffee shop. This gem of a cafe attracts with-it locals, who thoroughly enjoy the shaded outdoor seating and Rumi's extensive selection of international teas. Snacks and breakfasts are also on offer; you can always opt for the excellent coffee.

Books@cafe

Books@cafe carved history as the Middle East’s first internet café, blending literary culture with progressive ideals. This café-bookshop hybrid became a haven for dialogue, bridging Amman’s diverse communities, from expatriates to LGBTQ patrons, through its shelves of curated titles and egalitarian ethos. By night, Books@cafe becomes a low-key bar where conversations outlast drinks.

Blue Fig

Blue Fig delivers where it counts: solid brunches and lively nights. Morning regulars swear by their fluffy omelettes, served with proper sourdough toast, avocado toast, pizzas and baguettes. When the sun sets, DJs and live bands take over — a well-executed transition from café to nightspot.

Fann Wa Chai

Fann Wa Chai art gallery and tea bar is a tranquil hideaway in the hip, bohemian Jabal Al Weibdeh district. The establishment has been serving tea, coffee and small bites in the art-filled environment since 1988. Enjoy a quiet afternoon on the terrace or in the garden.
