I've been to many speciality coffee places in many different cities around the world and Geisha Coffee house in Amman stood out to me as the best specialty coffee in Jordan during my recent 2 week trip there.

They serve their drinks in reusable cups unless for takeout. I had the matcha latte with oat milk, and it was was very...
Read moreI am a loyal customer to this cafe and I love coming here. Today I had a bad experience. There was no sign saying that outside food is not allowed, I was with my colleagues and we ordered food after 4 hours working in the cafe. The waiter told us politely that outside food is not allowed and we told him that we are not going to bring food again. Five minutes later the owner came and open the window and she was telling us again that the outside food is not allowed and she was waiving her hand indicating that the became smelly because of our food which was only burger sandwiches and had no smell.
