This coffee place is my favorite no doubt! I do not like coffee generally it's too bitter and burnt. The Turkish coffee here was incredible. It's the only kind I have ever liked. The ambiance is also lovely with a couple cozy sections to sit in. The barista helped me understand what was different about Turkish coffee and discussed the options. She was so helpful! And then there was the baklava! Delicious as well. I'll be going back for sure. You've got to try this place if you're like me and struggle with how all the other coffee tastes. read more

Look at that green color- it's divine, TRULY!!! I wanted to check this place out a few weeks ago because I wanted to try a new cafe and it certainly didn't disappoint. The people who work there are down to earth, really refreshing considering the influx of cafes that opened this past year that exude exclusive snob behavior- apologies for language. Anywho, they had flavors you certainly wouldn't find in your average third wave cafe which I have yet to try. I just wanted a simple matcha latte, and they delivered for sure. While there is Dote a few blocks down, I think people would also like Diwan and their unique selection. Oh, and I don't know what the fragrance is in the shop, it is noticeable but I found it pleasant! I'm not sure if it's a specific herb or spice, but it's almost... minty? Man, I don't know how to describe it but it's again very pleasant. Lastly, it seems like a nice place to study and do work. It's peaceful, with the workers chatting and music playing, it's cozy! I like it! I haven't had the need to do work at a cafe but I think this place would be a good option if you want a new study spot and happen to be in the area. Parking is a little iffy? As you can see in the pic I parked on the side of the road but sometimes the streets will be taken up which leaves you to park in the parking garage right next to the cafe, which unfortunately charges for parking past 15 minutes. If you don't mind paying, or think you can make it back to your car on time, then it's not that big of a deal. Either way, you could probably find another street to park on and walk to the cafe as this district is pretty walkable. Overall, love it!!! I hope the owner and workers continue to thrive with this business, this is certainly a refreshing addition to the coffee scene in the greater Seattle area. read more

Diwan Coffee House - Iced Matcha Latte with Soy milk and Vanilla - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I loved the ambiance - everyone was very friendly and it seemed like a cozy place to meet with a friend or a lively place to watch the World Cup! Got the cardamom roll which was reasonably priced and large. Honestly it was a little dry, and the outside got a little hard after it cooled. The flavor was yummy though! I also ordered a slice of kunafe, and my family loved it. It is such a special dessert and I have been wanting to find some in the area! $10 is a little pricey though (think a wedge the medium to large slice of pie). My friend loved her coffee drink! read more

Good specialty lattes! I really enjoy the Ward latte (strong pistachio flavor). Also tried Baklawa (cardamom) and one other one (orange and dark chocolate). All the different flavors are well paired and unique from other coffee shops. Selection of pastries is ok - not a big breakfast place. Not a huge space, so I wouldn't prefer to hang out for too long, just grab and go. If you really want, maybe 1:1 but definitely not a big group nor is a good spot to work from. Few spots of street parking, but there's a free parking lot you can park in instead. read more

Coffee was strong and good! I tried the baklawa latte and I really liked it. Tried a rose latte before and it wasn't for me but if you like rose, you would love it. Staff is super friendly and kind. Lots of seating inside, great to study or hang with a friend. read more

The baristas were super sweet and recommended the knafeh latte for me. I'm sipping it rn and it's a journey! The cold foam on top wasn't too sweet and you can taste the knafeh in every sip. The crunchies on top were great too. read more

We've seen this new coffee shop and wanted to stop in to try their unique coffee flavors. We looked over their menu and decided on two popular drinks: Knafa Latte and Pistachio Rose White Mocha Latte, we also ordered two Zaatar croissants (we wanted to try other items on the menu but they were out of stock. Service was on the slower side, I think that's a combination of being a newer shop with newer staff. However, the employees were extremely helpful and friendly. Our drinks were great, the rose syrup in both drinks was slightly overpowering but overall the drinks were good. I feel that for the pistachio latte - a pistachio cold foam would elevate the flavor as pistachio was minimal and same with the knafa latte - a cheese cold foam would elevate the flavors giving a full knafa taste. The croissant was an actual croissant cut in half, topped with Zaatar and filled with Zaatar, arugula, tomato and cucumbers... it was ok. Seating inside is plentiful despite the fact that the coffee shop looks smaller and the decor gives Arabia vibes. Overall, nice new coffee shop and I'd be back to try other items once they have them in stock. read more

Such a delicious, cozy, and beautiful coffee shop! From the moment we stepped in, the staff were so welcoming and engaging. We throughly enjoyed their recommendations on what to order. We had three different lattes: vanilla, knafeh, and Baklawa. Ordered two pastries: knafeh and the gluten free chocolate cake. There are so many more things I want to try and will be back again. The only thing that you need to prepare yourself for is parking. Many of the garages around the area had "parking garage full" signs. We were able to find parking but it took some searching. Well worth the scavenger hunt. read more

We ordered 20 iced coffees for a work event, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. They communicated with me beforehand to answer questions about placing the order and accommodated all of our special instructions without any issues. Everything was delivered right on time, which made the event stress-free. Most importantly, the coffee was incredible, everyone at work was asking where it came from and had nothing but great things to say about the different flavors. If you're looking for catering for an office event they're on Doordash now! But nothing is better than the ambiance at the location, I highly recommend them. We'll definitely be ordering again. read more

Loved everything about it. The ambience, owner and the food We tried as per the other reviews - pistachio croissant which had a good amount of pistachio cream which the kids loved, baklava and date & walnut knafeh, and the best thing was the Zahar latte.. if you love the orange cardamom latte from French bakery, this is the better version of it Will be visiting more often going forward as we think we found our cafe!! read more

This unique cafe tucked away in the back of Bellevue, family owned. This gem offered unique coffee flavors you can't find elsewhere and surprisingly being timid of spices, it complimented the coffee perfectly, and wasn't too sweet either, and balanced to perfection. They offer a variety of food options and for pistachio lovers, this would be a great option for you. read more

Interesting middle eastern takes on pastries and coffee drinks. And unique decor. Much better than the place it replaced.

Parking in the Spring District can be tough. Server seemed very nice, took our order for a Spanish Latte (sweetened condensed milk) and hot chocolate, and called out each drink as they were very slowly made (rather than having both drinks served together). Neither drink was hot; neither was strong. The latte wasn't milky or sweet, but the coffee was ok. The hot chocolate tasted like a powdered drink mix you can get at a grocery store. The cups are great - the textured outside is easy to grip. The room is cozy looking and I like the decor. But the seats aren't very comfortable. The room didn't seem heavily perfumed when I walked in, but the scent became overwhelming after I'd been sitting for a few minutes. This might have been due to the arrival of a customer, so I don't blame the business but it marred my experience. read more

Diwan Coffee House - Spanish Latte (ok) and Hot Chocolate (awful) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

My friends and I are visiting from California and we were craving some caffeine and pastries. We found this spot on TikTok and it did not disappoint!! Everything was 12/10, from the drinks and pastries to the kind and helpful owners and staff. There is plenty of comfy seating, making this place perfect for studying, playing games, or just chatting. I highly recommend the knafeh (sweet and crispy pastry) or falafel pastry (will satisfy your middle eastern food cravings). The ambiance and seating is so colorful and cozy, and I would definitely come back if I was in the area again. read more

Disappointed in the "Arabic coffee" it tasted very watery and like tea, definitely not coffee. Bummer since I enjoy this type of coffee usually. Also ordered an iced mocha which was pretty good, strong coffee flavor which I like and they use the dark chocolate ganache read more

Highly recommend this family-owned Palestinian cafe! The Yemeni coffee they use is strong & the flavors all work well together. The matcha is dark & you can tell it's great quality. The pistachio croissant had pistachio cream inside & on top; it was the perfect sweetness level :) They also had homemade cookies from a local baker (not pictured but also so good!). Inside is very cozy & cutely decorated with Palestinian decor. The service was quick & the baristas are all so friendly and welcoming. There is on street parking all around it but there is also a parking garage right next door for convenience (not free). read more

easy to find street parking and in a nice location! i got the cardamom bun and an iced matcha latte with simple syrup. unfortunately both were a miss for me :( the matcha was quite milky and could've been a lot stronger. the bun was also quite dry, and it was still early in the day. overall cute café and nice ambience but could use some improvements. if i come back i would def try one of their lattes cause some of the flavors sound really fun. read more

Unusual offerings but extremely well done - great international coffee versions and tasty treats

So many staff including family members that kept going in and out behind the bar. Not attentive to customers even though we were the only ones at the time. They forgot my pastry which delayed my order and had to pay $6 for parking because they do not validate (first 15min free). Baklava latte was delicious. Falafel pastry was tasty but very dry... Overall disappointing. read more

The food and drinks were so delicious. I shared with some friends and my favorites were knafeh with dates and walnuts. And the drink I had was a hot ward latte with matcha and it was delicious. The owner is very kind. Not only did he guide us to a fitting table but also walked around and gave the customer free bites of baklava. I would totally come here again. read more

I got the rose pistachio latte which was really good. They can also adjust the sweetness of the drink too. I'm not a fan of sweet drinks & I told the barista & she made it perfectly. They gave out some samples to everyone & I tried the baklava which tasted on point. Small but cozy space. Staff were super friendly. read more

Diwan Coffee Shop is a gem of a coffee shop that is full of unique and delicious drinks and bites. I love that all their lattes can be made with coffee or matcha. My favorite that I've tried so far are the knafe and baklawa lattes. They also have the absolute best Knafe! The cheese and zaatar pastries are also delicious. The ambiance of the space is so warm and welcoming. I love that it is family owned because you can feel the passion and purpose in this coffee shop!! The service is phenomenal- everyone was so welcoming. As a Palestinian in the diaspora- this coffee shop felt like a piece of home!! Highly recommend trying this spot- you will be back for more read more

Just off the bat, any places in this area are meant only for those close by and walking. I think we spent 30-40 mins finding parking because there very few spots. How do we know in advance, we would've never come here! The actual place was OK but not amazing. The coffee was ok but the food was disappointing since we had to ask to reheat it a few times. I think if we didn't come in frustrated after 45 minutes of chaos it might've made overall the experience better. read more

Amazing ambience, drinks and staff. Their pastries are also out of this world! I highly recommend the garlic thyme one. My favorite drink is probably the coffee with the date and dark chocolate.

Pro: the drinks are delicious, service is friendly, the shop is comfortable to be at. Con: (PLEASE FIX) I saw the barista not wash the blender after they prepared my drink and was sitting there for...a good while. I had the drink and well, my stomach didn't seem to enjoy the drink as much as my tongue, if you know what I mean. I feel bad writing a not so nice review for a small business, but I think it is crucial for a cafe to maintain food safety. read more

I've been here twice and loved it every time! It's cozy inside and has beautiful decor. Last time I got the iced kunafe matcha latte, my sister got the iced ward latte and my brothers the baklava latte. We also got the pistachio croissant which was delicious. The matcha powder they use is Naoki First Spring Blend, so I would say it's worth getting the matcha here! read more

Beautiful coffee shop and delicious specialty drinks! I came in on a rainy Friday and tried the Baklawa Latte with matcha and the Ward Latte. Excellent flavors! Service was relaxed and the baristas seemed genuinely kind and friendly. It felt like a neighborhood gathering place, with customers coming in for a treat and a chat, not grabbing coffee and running for the sake of caffeine. There is a nice counter facing the windows to the sidewalk, perfect for me to pull out my laptop and get work done. I absolutely loved it and will be coming back to try more on the menu. read more

Last month I went to this coffee shop and ordered Turkish coffee. It was good, and the size of the pot was around 8 oz. Today we went back and ordered the same thing. First, it took more than 15 minutes to prepare the coffee in hot sand. Ironically, we also ordered a warm pastry, and they brought the pastry about 10 minutes before the coffee. What's the point of a warm pastry without coffee? It just sat there getting cold. That part was annoying, but I could overlook it. What really bothered me, and honestly disgusted me, was the coffee size. The pot we received today was literally about half the size, at most around 5 oz. It felt like they quietly reduced the portion while charging the same price. Even that might have been understandable with rising prices, but then we noticed the table next to us had the same Turkish coffee pot in the larger size, just like we received last month. That's when it became unacceptable. Either they didn't have the proper pot for our order and still charged full price, or they were inconsistent and unfair between customers. Both situations feel dishonest. This kind of misleading and inconsistent service is extremely disappointing. I left feeling frustrated and disgusted, and I will not be going back. read more
