One of the most amazing experiences I’ve had recently was visiting a Bilqis, and I can’t help but share how impressed I was with every detail of this place.
The first thing that caught my attention was the unique interior design. The traditional, heritage-inspired style of the space gives you the feeling of traveling back in time to an era full of authenticity and charm. The fine details in the décor, from the warm lighting to the elegantly designed furniture, reflect great attention to quality and aesthetics.
As for the atmosphere, it’s a perfect example of tranquility and relaxation. This spot is ideal for anyone seeking a quiet space to escape the noise of daily life—whether you want to read a book, work on a project, or simply enjoy a cozy chat with friends.
What truly amazed me, however, was the level of service! The staff was incredibly professional and polite, always smiling and ready to fulfill any request. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, I felt genuinely welcomed. The speed in delivering orders and the care for even the smallest details made me feel like a valued guest.
Moreover, the quality of the drinks and food served was beyond excellent. Everything was fresh and carefully prepared, adding even more value to the experience.
Honestly, this place combines everything I look for: unique design, a relaxing atmosphere, and unmatched service. I highly recommend visiting it to anyone looking for an exceptional experience. For me, this coffee shop has definitely become one of my favorite spots, and I can’t...
Read moreThis has to be one of the more inviting cafes I've been to about everywhere. Although they have a bunch of trendy drinks, which is not a dig, I found their more traditional coffees and treats something special. For instance, on a cold and snowy winter day, I ordered a light Yemeni coffee in a traditional pot along with Yemeni ka'ak. The coffee from what I remembered had a pleasant and light nutty flavor that was also with spices like cardamom. The ka'ak was also very lighty sweet. If you've had scones, imagine one that is dense with a brown butter flavor. If you've had Palestinian or Lebanese ka'ak, imagine something a decent bit different hah.
The baristas are salt of the earth. They get a lot of customers so they're usually very bus, but the staff are attentive regardless. Some drinks do take a lot of prep, so orders do take a few minutes to be ready, but they're well worth it.
The accommodations also set this place apart. You'll be seated in a majlis, a cushioned seat with partitions, that makes one feel at home. It's the perfect place to spend hours studying or hanging out with friends, hence why the place has a lot of customers. There's also a reservable space in case you need to have a group study session.
Last reason to recommend Bilqis: I ordered the Bythani Qahwah. My girlfriend, who is not a fan of coffee, had a sip, and then wanted to share the whole thing with...
