Three quiet promises
Chapter One
Where the mountains meet the cup
hawq Cafe began on the South Road in Taif near Darb Station, where the Hijaz mountains rise and the air still carries the scent of Taif roses. We opened with a single intention: to bring a modern coffee experience to a place that has cherished coffee for generations.
Taif has its own coffee culture, rooted in Arabic tradition a dallah on the fire, cardamom in the cup, guests welcomed as family. We grew up with that. And we wanted to give it a new home: a space where the old warmth meets the pace of the new.
Chapter Two
What we pour
very bean we serve is chosen for character and clarity premium Arabica lots from Colombia, Ethiopia, and trusted farms we've come to know. Each selection is cupped before it reaches our bar. If it doesn't earn its place, we don't serve it.
Our menu reaches beyond the usual. Lattes, flat whites, and Spanish lattes. Blue matcha, pink matcha, classic matcha. Cold brews, iced pours, hibiscus, and house refreshers. And beside every cup — cheesecakes, brownies, donuts, croissants, and small bites for the middle of the day.
Tradition, poured forward.
