Visited during the weekend. Such a vibey and cosy please filled with a wonderful collection of books. The coffee was fantastic. Although I didn’t get a chance to try their cookies as they were sold out (I’m hoping I get them someday). Overall a wonderful place to do your office or uni work in peace and quiet.

Here it must be a treasure cafe in Sharjah, and I really recommend it to everyone. The coffee taste is great and the staff will offer you a bottle of water at the same time, whatever coffee you order. This cannot be seen commonly in most cafe shops. The service also shows friendliness and politeness. The staff’s smile makes us happy and comfortable here. The perfect factor here is its atmosphere, you enjoy the coffee around the ocean of books, and you can also drink coffee while reading meanwhile. Of course, here it’s really suitable for friends to chat over the time. I really enjoyed the time here.

Fantastic hidden gem. It feels like a hidden isolated secret garden (made of books and plants literally). The atmosphere and ambience are very inviting, relaxing and deep. The drinks I tried were well made, I haven't tried the food yet. The place is definitely perfect for reading, work requiring creative flow and studying. But for mechanical kinds of work that requiring long hours like engineering the place might feel a bit too quite. Parking is available and free also there are washrooms and prayer room in the hotel next to the building. Great work team and management and thank you, keep it up and wish you all the best.

I had an amazing cup of flat white served with a lovely smile from Diana who was so friendly and full of joy. The place is very clean, books are mostly in Arabic but English book corner is also rich. The parking is free and the environment is so good for reading, working and spending quality time alone or with a bookworm friend

It is one of the most impressive book stores and cafes in the UAE. You will be sarrounded by warmth, caring, and positive vibes whenever you go. It is a quiet place, extremely clean, full of beautiful and mindful pieces of arts. The staff are very polite, very nice and do their work with passion. Special thanks to Mr. Eslam who really knows how to make you feel comfortable and gives you very good book recommendations, thanks also to Mrs. Diana, she is so nice. I highly recommend this special place to people who want to recharge their spiritual energy.

Amazing atmosphere and books, with tasty drinks. We tried iced caramel, iced V60, and turkish coffee. The prices are reasonable and the set up was comfy. The place is sort of small, but it wasn't busy when we visited. The staff were respectful, and it was very peaceful and quiet. Perfect if you want to work or study. Good experience. Would love to visit again.

I been curious to check it out for a while, I went finally last week. It was a bit confusing at first because its not very clear where to order and there is no visible menu for everything. The place is tiny but really cozy and quiet. Staff were friendly. The coffee was great, perfect foam and good quality beans. Plus free parking. Over all I was satisfied, definitely coming back inshallah.
