Cute floral coffee shop emblematic of pre-war Syria, the romanticized days of Pax Romana at bay for a more modern retelling.
What this means is the coffee is great and there are fresh pastries - baklava and birds nest made fresh.
Pistachio lovers dream.
I got the zesty mocha which has orange zest in it. It’s not an LGBTQ reference. But the double entendre stands.
Plenty of locals and mellow vibes, with Arabic crooners outplaying pop songs overhead.
Street parking wasn’t hard to find on a Sunday.
5/5 Will come again.
Wow!!! What a jewel Damask Rose is. If you like cozy coffee shops this is a truly great experience. The coffee is middle eastern so it's strong and rich in flavor. The delicacies set it off. The baklava is awesome amongst other Turkish delights. The floral setting is amazing for chats with friends. The ladies working there are lovely and kind bring a bit of the Turkish culture inside the place. Visit and share your experience with me. Not made for large groups. It's a place for you to come alone or with one or two friends at most.
This cafe hits all the right notes. There are already many photos of the place and the atmosphere is quiet, relaxing, and rejuvenating. The drip coffee is robust with a nice taste profile. I ordered the lentil soup for my breakfast. The soup was comforting, and well balanced. It felt clean, nourishing, and delightful to the taste buds. If you need a place to relax and watch the cars go by, come here!
A wonderful, dreamy cafe with delicious drinks and meals. We had the Za’atar flat bread, spinach & walnut flat bread, and lentil soup. We got hot tea and an ice rose latte. All were delicious. Can’t wait to return!
After I dropped my Vespa off for repair at Rockridge Two Wheels, my daughter and I walked down to Damask Rose for a coffee. What a pleasant surprise to find this shop! I love all the roses inside and the place feels comfortable and cozy. Both the pastries and coffees were excellent and I ate my food so fast, I forgot to take a photo of it first. Oops. My daughter had a chai something and although it made me gag, she said it was fabulous. Five stars!!
