Shaghf Coffee
645 Forest Ave, Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“Shaghf Coffee brings authentic Arabic coffee traditions to Portland with creative flavor variations that elevate the espresso experience, drawing real coffee enthusiasts with their thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks like pistachio lattes and signature creations. The tastefully designed space radiates cozy, clean elegance with a fragrant atmosphere that makes it equally perfect for lingering over work on your laptop or meeting friends over impeccably presented pastries and crepes. Fair warning: their drinks are beautifully crafted but decidedly small, so come prepared to savor rather than gulp.”

Pretty tasteful made design, very clean, nice fragrance smelling premise. Authentic Arabic coffee with a pinch of various flavors to choose from. If you are a real coffee fan, definitely a place to check.
We got two pistachio crepes, a hot mocha, and an iced pistachio latte. Everything was good but the size of the drinks were so small, the iced latte was $9 and it was tiny, tasty but tiny. The mocha was just ok. The crepes were really good. Ignore how messy the crepe picture is, I definitely picked up the bag the wrong way.
Love this place! Have come here several times to do work on my laptop and I love the cozy vibes. I’ve had the Spanish hot latte and an iced Pistachio latte. I like the option to have the sweetened condensed milk in the lattes. I haven’t gotten to try their sweet treats but they look so good. I did have a small, minced beef puff pastry and it was well seasoned. Very good. Overall, this is seems like a great place to meet up with a friend for coffee. The staff are also very welcoming and treat each order with care. Hope this place becomes a Portland favorite for more people.
Amazing food had a chocolate crepe and biscoff cheese cake. To drink we each had a coffee one of them wasn't even sweet but it was still amazing! The workers were so helpful thank goodness seems we had never been there before. The atmosphere was chill relaxed and all the decore and tables are Instagram worthy.
Very unique, delicious food and drinks. Stella presentation and ambiance. We were very impressed with this place. On Sunday morning this place was lit so get yourself some extra time. The staff is super friendly, and fast nonetheless. We will come again even if it takes us 2 hours to get here.
