Urbanista

Visit Urbanista any time of the day and you will find yourself surrounded by hipsters, academics, business lunches and casual dates. It has the trendy independent charm of a New York coffee house and the mainstream appeal of a steak sandwich. There are outlets across the city and we particularly like this Gemmayzeh spot. Chic, warm and practical, it's the kind of place where you can comfortably spend a day. There are large tables, comfy sofas, a decent food menu, workstations offering the fastest complementary Wi-Fi in the city, and more varieties of coffee than there are words in the English language. All the beans are fair trade and a cup ranges from LL5,000 to LL10,000. A gem.
