Found this place on Yelp and would 100% recommend. Their açaí bowl is one of the best I've ever had. I love ice cream texture consistency with açaí and they had that. They also added Nutella topping which I was skeptical at first for fear of being too sweet, but it was perfect. The service was friendly and the ambiance felt upscale and picturesque. The Spanish Latte was very smooth as well. Recommend this place! Açaí Bowl: 5/5 Spanish Latte Cold Drink: 4.5/5 read more

The drinks were decent - the coconut latte is definitely very coconut which was good in my opinion! the date latte was very unique... I would probably go for a different set next time since there are so many options! Inside, there is Arabic music and a very standard place for a cafe and yap. Service was quick and swift! :) read more

Fantastic cafe in El Cajon! Situated in a newer plaza with plenty of parking, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The store itself was very clean and extremely well lit. The extensive menu features lots of drink options - but we couldn't help but order the dubai crepe. It came out beautifully presented and piping hot. Loved the flavors and textures in addition to the visuals. read more

Very cute and clean place. Great customer service. I got pistachio blended and lotus blended and it's very good. The pistachio is very creamy. The lotus drink also good. I also got the Dubai strawberry and it's very yummy. I like that the strawberry still crunch and not got burn/soft by hot chocolate. There are a lot of big pistachio crunch as well. read more

They have an outstanding Pistachio Latte. The syrup is made in house and there are small chunks of pistachios in the bottom. I find at most coffee shops, I need to add an extra shot. I always like to try it as is for my first time. This coffee is outstanding!! read more

So far, not too bad. I got the Dubai crepe; shared it between 3 people and that was enough! The crepe was good. The strawberries and bananas tasted fresh. They have some flavored lattes that I would love to try next time. The place itself was clean and spacious. Server was friendly. read more

Good cafe with tasty drinks and great desserts. However, I wouldn't call it 5 stars because the price doesn't quite match the quality I've had better elsewhere. That said, I'd still come back and would recommend it to others. read more

Shaghf Cafe - About 30$+ - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Cajon, California

We stumbled upon this lovely coffee shop and what a delightful time we had. So it says it has Dubai roots and there are some items in the menu with some Dubai influence. So, we tried the Dubai croissant. Interesting and enjoyable. We had a cappuccino and a regular coffee. Well, 100 points of the coffee, it was great! Service was good. I guess the basics nowadays. You order at the register, pay, and they bring your order to your table. Ambiance was lovely. This place is small and charming and with lovely music. If you are in the area, give them a try, and share your experiences. You will love it. read more

I visited in the evening time and was delightfully surprised to see a bunch of women of all ages spending quality time together in the cafe on a Friday evening! The place is a beautifully decorated ambiance with a peaceful and friendly atmosphere! I ordered a pistachio latte with almond milk and tried some of the little chocolate cakes from the pastry display and everything was delicious. Friendly service and quick turnaround time as well. read more

Shaghf Cafe - Dubai Chocolate Crepe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Cajon, California

Shaghf Cafe finds it origin in Dubai. Apparently, they are a beloved chain in Dubai with only a few location in the United States, including not this one here in El Cajon, California. They offer a variety of espresso based beverages and refreshers, not to mention frappes, but I decided on a iced pistachio latte simply because it sounded good, and good it was. Actually, it tasted great. I liked the flavor of the coffee. The coffee actually comes from Dubai and it is a great roast. The flavor of the coffee was up front and personal and delicious. The pistachio was more subtle and offered hints of it towards the end. It was very well balanced in my opinion. I hear that it is as delicious hot. They offer a melee of delicious looking desserts, acai bows, and pastries. There's a good amount of comfortable inside seating. The service was very friendly. The young lady at the counter was sweet and quite informative. I look forward to returning. read more

Super friendly staff and plenty of parking. I went on a Saturday morning right when they opened, and it wasn't too busy. I had a latte and a pistachio croissant, which was really good--not overly sweet, just the right balance. The vibe was really cool too. The only thing I'd suggest improving is the cutlery; the plastic knife and fork made it a bit tricky to cut the croissant. Other than that, I'd definitely recommend this spot! read more

New to the Cafe today. The person at the counter was very helpful. She recommended the pistachio latte. It was very good and came just like all the pictures showed. I did join the rewards club. Im going to keep coming back. Since Bella Cafe was closing, I had to find another place and not a big chain coffee place. I did try something new as well...one of the desserts. It was the pistachio. New taste for me, I would probably get it again or try something new. This was clean and quaint place to get coffee and sit and do remote work or relax and just enjoy the ambiance. read more

We only had two coffees and shared a pistachio croissant so consider the rating a mere estimate. The capp and Americano were very good. The croissant was very large, covered with pistachio sweet cream and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios. At first it was too sweet for my taste but it grew on me. The place is comfortable and fairly busy. The woman who took orders at the counter doubled as the server. The coffees and food arrived slightly slower than expected out of the kitchen. Another customer came over to inquire in a friendly way if we, obviously not Arabs, were enjoying it and describing his own long journey from Bagdad to Europe to Canada to Oracle San Jose and US citizenship. We look forward to trying more of the dessert choices. read more

Banana Matcha: the banana portion was so yum! It had a good, overall sweetness, but if you want a more matcha-y taste, maybe getting the regular matcha latte. 7.5/10 Red Velvet Latte: Really good but it didn't taste like red velvet. It was the perfect blend of sweetness and strong coffee! One of my fave latte's. 8/10 read more

First Visit - Definitely Not the Last! Tried Shaghf Café in El Cajon for the first time and was seriously impressed! I ordered the iced pistachio latte--so delicious and made with real pistachios. Also indulged in their Dubai chocolate croissant--almost $10, but totally worth it for the quality and flavor. The place has a classy vibe, excellent service, and plenty of parking (huge plus!). My friend mentioned they also have locations in Michigan, Virginia, and Arizona. So glad I finally got to try it! They also have decadent desserts that caught my eye--definitely coming back to try those next time. FYI: they open at 10 AM and are located right on Main Street in El Cajon. read more

Delicious and wonderful and the staff are so helpful and skilled. Thank you for always giving your best in service and expertise and Taste!

I am so happy that I found this super clean, beautiful and luxurious looking coffee shop in El Cajón! I come now to this east county town pretty often for interpreting jobs and finding this place was amazing. The pastries are so luxurious looking too! They have delicacies like the Dubai croissant, with pistachio, chocolate, and croquant filling. The drinks are on point. I really like the moka (I like my drinks served in those cute calligraphy cups instead of huge mugs). Also, the coffee shop is pristine, and people enjoy talking to others, mostly women chatting with their friends and no like a laptop camp as seems to be the trend. I love everything! read more

Clean atmosphere and friendly staff. Love their pistachio late and crepes. This a good place to hang out for small dessert and to chat with friends. The music was nice, not so loud like other café places. Will come back here again. read more

As soon as I walked in, I couldn't help to scan the establishment. The room looked and felt so clean. I liked the color theme, the light coming in from outside highlighted the black so the place didn't seem so dim and dark, if that makes sense. I had the Habibi Latte. The taste was a bit strong for me but I enjoyed it once the ice melted a bit. Phase note that although the taste was a bit strong, I could tell for those that truly enjoy stronger tastes, it would be perfect therefore it didn't impact my rating. I had something new. I had the Lotus crepe. The thickness of lotus cream threw me off. Once I adjusted, I enjoyed the crepe alternating bananas and strawberries. The crepe itself was my favorite because I don't like the crepes crunchy or overly cooked. The texture was soft and moist. I hadn't finished the crepe, I was already thinking of the next crepe I would get when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

This place is still in its opening stages but it's gorgeous inside and all the people working there were very sweet. I ordered a pistachio iced latte and a Dubai croissant, both of which were to die for. The prices are on the higher end but I felt like it was worth it for sure. The ingredients were yummy and well thought out. There's definitely no cutting corners here and I appreciate that. I can't wait to go back and try their other drinks and desserts! So happy to have a unique coffee shop like this so close to home. read more

i always used to order the strawberry Dubai cup, but when i came in to order the workers didn't come for a good while, when i received my food the chocolate was so dry and it was in blocks instead of melt. and i didn't wait for it i just sat down in the car and ate it, i noticed that my stomach started to hurt ALOT and realized that it was expired. Oh and the strawberries gone bad when i ate it it was so disgusting the kunafa tasted horrible as-well. Clean but bad strawberries. read more

Perfect place to come and enjoy some coffee or any of their other drinks. They have a huge menu with plenty of options. Personally I stick with a cappuccino and like to study or do my work there.

I was really excited to try this spot but honestly it didn't live up to the hype. I ordered the Dubai Croissant, Dubai Strawberries, and the Tiramisu Latte. The Dubai Croissant was just okay. Looks better than what it tastes like. I saw an influencer post a video reviewing several stuff on the menu but mine barely had any filling compared to hers. Hardly any of the crunchy stuff and no chocolate inside at all. Definitely not what I expected or what I saw on the video. The Dubai Strawberries were the biggest letdown. The cup is tiny, smaller than a Starbucks grande, and it was $12.95. For that price, Juice Time is way better and bigger and around the same price. The Tiramisu Latte was also a miss. It didn't really taste like tiramisu, just a regular latte. Nothing special. Overall, food was not the best. Service was not bad and the ambiance was ok. read more

So grateful to live next to this gem. Stumbled upon it randomly when I took my niece to the park. I got the pistachio iced latte (they use real pistachio cream) so it doesn't taste like artificial syrups ! 10/10 I loved how it was strong and not too sweet. I'd like to try the habibi latte next time I'll be back TODAY read more
