Rumi

Top choice in Amman


This cafe goes from strength to deserved strength. There's plenty of excellent coffee on offer, but tea is the thing here: choose from a menu that includes blends from Bahrain (flavoured with rosewater), Iraq (cardamom), Morocco (mint) and more besides. There's a simple breakfast menu, plus cakes and sandwiches throughout the day.

The outside seating area is a delight, but it can be difficult to get a seat at times for all the young (and occasionally hipster) Ammanis having meetings or tapping away at their Macbooks.
