Bitter-sweet melody. That’s how many people describe a coffee.
Coffee is like a drug for many people, it is addictive in a sense that you you will not be able to resist to get one more cup of that nice aroma. In a scenario where you are in a meeting, a friendly conversation or a business proposition on hand, most of the time, pressing the button and asking for one more cup of coffee is really tempting and really inviting.
Middle East countries are very fond of drinking hot beverages and of them is the coffee. It is a part of the everyday life of an Arab that’s why here in the UAE, there are many coffee shops around. Aside from the inviting smell of the coffee, Shisha is something most Arabs love to do. This is I guess a part of their lifestyle that is common already in the eyes of many.
For those who are not familiar with the Shisha, let us do a shisha 101 first. Shisha or Sheesha is also known as Hookah (Persian) is a single- or multi-stemmed instrument for vaporizing and smoking flavored tobacco whose vapor or smoke is passed through a water basin—often glass-based—before inhalation. So in short, this is also considered a form smoking using an instrument. So the picture on the left is an example of the instrument you will use for Shisha.
In this country, there are so many places that you will love to visit not just because you can access shisha, you will also be happy with the menu and the good soft beverages they are ready to offer. Aroma Garden Caffe is one of the many restaurant-shisha-cafés in the country that will offer you to dine, have coffee or just simply have a shisha experience. Aroma Garden is all the way from the heart of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and extended its wings here in UAE to let the people experience something not local as well. Although Saudi is also a country with various deserts, there are so many things also that the Saudians and Emiratis differ from each other.
You might be wondering how will it be if you are not a smoker? Of course you wouldn’t want ending up as a second-hand one and me neither. I, myself is not a smoker but still I am visiting this place with the preference of a non-smoking area. So yes, you can choose from a smoking or non-smoking area according to what suits you well.
The place itself is very nice and cozy. It is quiet and very good for meetings, friendly gatherings and even for family events. Apart from the place and the shisha, the cafe is also serving a lot of different things on their menu.
There are many things that is a must-try in this café that will give your stomach a fuel for the many conversations or alone time you might wanna spend. The staff are very friendly and you will have a different experience in this place.
Then my addiction to coffee is back in town. My palate is weird sometimes and I mix my orders in a way that I will experience something I never did before. So one afternoon, I ordered a vanilla ice cream and paired it with one of their specialty which is the Tiramisu Latté. I am a big fan of latté for some reason and I just want to try if the drink is good and it is.The latté art captured my eyes also and I really ended up taking a photo of it. It really looks cute and I guess this is like an ‘in-thing’ for instagram.
