1948 Café ١٩٤٨ كَـــافـــيه — Restaurant in Temple Terrace

I'm putting this one star for people who go to this place as it is advertised: as a coffee shop. There is no menu. The only coffee made are espressos, cappuccinos, and Turkish coffee. I ordered a cappuccino and was surprised that this measly cup of cheaply made coffee cost me $5.38. The coffee tastes like mud water... I'd have been better off going to Wawa or just making a cup of Joe back at home ( I only go out for coffee when I'm in the mood for quality). I tried drinking the cup but only managed two sips and threw the cup away. I honestly didn't know you could make coffee taste so awful.

That being said, DO NOT COME HERE FOR COFFEE! Despite the name of the place 'coffee and more', it is clearly not the expertise of this business. There are plenty of actual good coffee shops nearby.

I recently visited this charming Arab hookah cafe and was absolutely delighted by the experience. The ambience is cozy, with both indoor and outdoor seating options that cater to all preferences. The outdoor seating area is particularly inviting, perfect for enjoying a relaxing evening.

The food is simply outstanding. Each dish is bursting with authentic flavors and whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or just some light snacks to accompany your hookah, the menu has something for everyone.

If you’re looking for a place to unwind with great food, excellent hookah, and good service, this hookah cafe is the place to be. Highly...

I had an amazing first experience at 1948 Café with my friend—it truly felt like stepping into the heart of Palestinian culture and hospitality. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with the Arabic music setting the perfect vibe for the night. We ordered Al Fakher with the classic double apple flavor, and it was absolutely smooth and flavorful. The Sahlab was delicious, rich, and comforting, and the Moroccan tea paired perfectly with the hookah. The staff’s hospitality made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for authentic flavors, great vibes, and a true taste of Palestinian...
