    Updating my review to say I still love this cafe and particularly this location. They have hard shell chocolate fruit pastries from Emmy's cafe on selected days (Friday when I went) for $12.99 and while it is on the higher end for a pastry it tasted as expected. The staff is very friendly and helpful, I went and bought a good amount of these pastries and they gave me frozen ones to eat within a few days as requested and thawed ones for immediate consumption. & it looks like they have updated their menu with new drinks as of September 2025.

    Shaghf Cafe: I see the vision, but unfortunately, I think execution could be a lot better! Shaghf Cafe has been on my list for a long time, so I was super excited to stop by. I came in one day because I was in the neighborhood and saw on social media that they started selling the cakes that look like fruits from Emmy French Corner. Upon arriving, I was confused at first because the place looked closed for it being around lunch time. It was unusually dark inside, but I saw a few people sitting in the back, so I walked in. Someone in the back got up from where they were sitting, welcomed me, and walked behind the counter. The place is QUIET. You can hear everything. There is faint music playing in the back, but it is inaudible if youre more than 10ft from the source. It makes the place feel unwelcoming. There were only laminated, handheld menus that had no descriptions of what the specialty coffees were. I had to keep asking the server questions about the drinks (e.g. what flavor is a movie or habibi latte). The staff member was kind and answered all my questions. When I asked for drink recommendations, he didn't speak highly of any of the specialty lattes and stated his personal preference for plain coffee, which wasn't helpful. I ended up ordering a Spanish latte, light on the condensed milk, and two of the Emmy cakes, mango and strawberry. The pastry display is small, has no labels for items, and has no lights to properly feature the items. After ordering, I wanted to sit down while I waited but the cute, white boucle chairs were very dirty looking and tinged gray/black, so I decided to stand. My order came out within 5 minutes and the staff packaged it well. He even warned me to be careful as the cakes might slide a little in transport, which I appreciated. My Spanish Latte tasted was just plain milk and espresso. From what I could taste of the coffee, it had good flavor. The ratio of milk to coffee needs some work. The cakes were yummy but quite pricey! I preferred the mango to the strawberry one. Both my cakes were still icy in the middle even though I ate them 2-3 hrs after, so they were definitely pretty frozen when I ordered it. Overall, I wasn't impressed. Coffee was okay and I wouldn't order it again. Cakes were good, but they don't make it in-house either. And the ambience, as is, isn't for me but I see so much potential for it!

    All the hype doesnt meet expectations. Pricey for a smallish space with overpriced drinks. Leftover pastries. Boxes of deliveries visible clutter. Clean up needed for better presentation

    Habdi coffee in a can
    Amir A.

    Plenty of parking on the backside. We went for an iced coffee and was taken well care of the staff. We went for the recommended habidi coffee. The place had interiorly vibe as a lounge amd a good ambiance. The cool thing is that they make your coffee fresh and then put in a can that you open the traditional way. The coffee was good and I'll recommend checking it out

    Coconut matcha
    Kimberly B.

    The coconut matcha was so delicious I wanted to go back the next day and get another! Unlike any other matcha I've tasted...a rich, creamy, coconut flavor that isn't overpowered by coconut. So good! I can't wait to go back and try some other drinks.

    Mango Frappe, Mango Frozen Dessert
    Mia L.

    Neat spot. I stopped by and ordered a mango frappe + mango ice cream dessert. I wanted a chai, but unfortunately they were out. The mango frappe was a good replacement though--it tasted similar to the one at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf which is one of my favorites. The mango dessert was also really good--I loved the hard shell. The only thing was that this totaled to $22 which is honestly a highway scam lol. I didn't love the interior. Though it was clean and spacious, it was so white that it felt sterile. However, that's just personal preference--it's just not a cozy cafe vibe. The guy working there was really nice. However, it did take 15 minutes for everything to come out. Overall, tasty food but not worth it for the price.

    Hot Pistachio Latte
    Ailun H.

    I've had Shaghf Cafe on my list for a bit and finally had the chance to check it out this afternoon. The interior is spacious with white walls, accented by neon white lights in the shape of arches. There are a few plants scattered throughout, adding a nice contrast. The seating is spread out comfortably, so there's plenty of space. HOT PISTACHIO LATTE - 7.50 I got it with two shots of espresso + whole milk; they offer milk alternatives like oat and almond as well. The drink is on the smaller side, maybe 8 oz, and if you order it "for here", it comes in a nice ceramic cup. The latte had a good amount of pistachio bits, and the syrup used had a honey-like, viscous texture. I'm not sure if it was meant to be fully mixed in, but there was still some pistachio and syrup left at the bottom of the cup by the end. The drink was good, but I'm not sure if the price justifies it All in all, Shaghf is a nice spot to spend a couple hours. Unfortunately, my friend and I had trouble connecting to the wifi, so we had to use our hotspot instead.

    This popular coffee shop from Dubai just recently opened a location in Virginia. I got their Iced Spanish Latte which was amazing! The coffee flavor was great and the sweetness from the condensed milk reminded me of Vietnamese coffee. The Shagf Tart was a perfect pastry to pair with my coffee as I sat in their super aesthetic cafe. The staff was also really nice as they saw me looking through the menu and gave me some recommendations and answered my questions. Love this little coffee shop and would highly recommend you check it out! Dessert: Shagf Tart Drinks: Iced Spanish Latte

    Outside

    Stumbled upon Shaghf Cafe by accident when looking for a coffee shop in the area. I have a visited a total of two times. They are in a weird location so I doubt they get a lot of foot traffic. The decor is not bad but the visible boxes and mess at the end of the space were distracting. First time I went there, I had a hot coconut latte and pistachio cake. While I liked the hot drink mug, it was too small for the price point. The latte itself tasted pretty good. The pistachio cake was alright, nothing to write home about. Once it got unbearably hot outside, I made sure to go for a second time and try the dates latte as I was told it tastes better iced. I asked for the latte to be less sweet and it was still ridiculously sweet. It was so bad that I had to throw half of it away and I actually love sweets. Overall, not a coffee shop I would care to go back to. Important to note that both times I went, the employees were super friendly and welcoming.

    Service counter
    Kyle N.

    Good coffee with interesting middle-eastern flavors; dates, pistachio and more. Sensorial experience is non existent; no music, all you hear is their fridge humming. Service is not great, the young lady at the counter is in a hurry to go back sit down at her laptop, and it shows in her short dry tone and dirty tables. Don't think I'll come back.

    Biscoff latte + movie theater latte
    Tiffany N.

    Shagf Cafe is this beautifully decorated cafe tucked into a small shopping center by CVS! The interior is so beautiful and the staff are super nice. There's so much pretty seating here too! My friend and I went here to grab some coffees, as it was recommended by another friend. She ordered the iced biscoff latte and I ordered the iced movie theater latte. Overall the biscoff was good for the cookie butter itself, but the movie theater latte was best in overall flavor and presentation. It was slightly sweet with savory, and it mixed well. I'll definitely come back to try other flavors!

    Coffee Shop No. 467 Shaghf Cafe Falls Church, VA February 13, 2025 I was having lunch with my husband and the best dessert for any meal is always a cortado; so I used Google to find a close cafe and Shagf Cafe popped up. The barista was very friendly and helpful. I don't normally order anything other than cortados, but there were these small ball shaped desserts that caught my attention. The barista called them Cinnamon Kinderbites. The outside of the dessert is dough and it is bland; not much flavor. However, that's probably a good things because the magic is in the melted chocolate in the center of the dessert. The chocolate is creamy and rich. I wasn't a fan of the first bite, but after the second one I definitely became a fan. The presentation of the Cinnamon Kinderbites was very attractive. I really liked the simple clay platter they arrived on. The cortado was well made. Enjoying life one cortado at time!

    Date latte (in can), two Spanish lattes
    Kevin D.

    It was so cute inside! The chairs looked like marshmallows and the vibes were so chic. The server at the counter was so sweet and answered all our questions. We got a date latter and two Spanish lattes. They were amazing and I'm excited to come back and try more flavors!

Unfortunately, the way our group was treated over seating left a very bad impression. We arrived as paying customers and simply wanted to sit together. Instead, the barista repeatedly told us where we could and couldn't sit. First we were directed to one side, then the other. We were told we shouldn't use the large table because "maybe someone with a computer MIGHT show up." Then another area was suddenly off-limits because "something might happen." Ultimately, it felt like the only acceptable option was squeezing our group into a corner near the trash cans. I understand that the shop has a philosophy behind designated laptop/no-laptop areas, and that's perfectly reasonable. What wasn't reasonable was making a group of paying customers feel as though there was literally nowhere they were welcome to sit because our presence might somehow disrupt the intended seating arrangement. It was 90 degrees outside, or we would have sat there. Policies are one thing; hospitality is another. A coffee shop should be able to maintain its atmosphere and guidelines without making customers feel like an inconvenience simply for showing up as a group. Cute shop, but the seating experience and attitude toward our group were unnecessarily frustrating and unwelcoming.

I'd try the original next time if I'm being basic or passionfruit, ginger, or something citrusy if I wanted something different and that gave a different flavor profile than the sugarcane.

I'm used to just having a block of ice on top and having to break it apart but the ice they use here are little squares/blocks which is a nice touch. After mixing everything together the Che overall was pretty good. I don't have any complaints about it. The ambiance inside is pretty nice. They were playing Vietnamese music which is a nice touch. They don't have as many Che options as a Bambu but they make it up for it by having options for other style desserts or food.

It was…read morereally hard to select anything to eat because all the pastries were fresh and beautifully baked with toasted with a rich golden brown. I got the savory pie that was stuffed with an unctuous gumbo filling made with creole spices, the holy trinity (onions, peppers, and celery), and a generous portion of chicken. The pie pastry had a perfect flaky crumb that held the filling together. A friend had their breakfast sandwich, which had a rustic and delightful tang from the inclusion of sourdough in the biscuit batter that paired well with the thick slab of egg and crispy bacon. Incredibly savory items. I'm always gravitated towards how well a cafe can do a savory menu and this exceed my expectations. Friends I came in with who got their coffee said that it was very delicious, and the baristas can make a beautiful frothy and rich matcha latte. Its both parts technical skills to pull coffee or whisk matcha and sourcing of high-quality ingredients. Drinks make up a large part of any cafe, so to do it well here in this neighborhood cafe is exceptional. The baristas are running that place like a tight ship! Tip well!

Inside is clean and was pretty busy despite it being near closing time. I came for a Too Good To Go bag to try this place out. Overall, the baked items tasted good. However, it's not something I would purposely make a return trip for.
