Jerusalem Books Cafe

The best place ever for Arabic food—for a family or friends' gathering, or even to work or read a book. Very kid-friendly! Loved all types of Manaqeesh (Arabic pastry), Labneh, and Knafa (Arabic sweet). What we loved the most was the people who hosted us in a very family-like atmosphere. The handmade decorations are artistic, and the music corner is also the best. Very highly recommended—especially to enjoy the best coffee!

UPDATE: We've had two more visits since our time at Jerusalem Books Cafe, and each was also fantastic! A light breakfast of coffee and tosta on our second trip. Today we absolutely had to have Desayuno Palestino again. It is so delicious, so filling, so satisfying! The folks are so lovely. Highly recommended! ORIGINAL REVIEW: A lovely cafe near Puerta de Elvira, it is definitely worth visiting, and as other reviewers have suggested, have the Desayuno Palestino. The portions are generous, and the flavours of each dish are wonderful. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. The hummus was perhaps the best I've had. There is a stairlift for wheeled visitors to get to the upper level and a ramp down to the third dining area. The decor is very beautiful. I'm planning to be a repeat visitor while we stay in Granada. It's just a great dining experience. April 6, 2025 C & J

I had an amazing experience at the Jerusalem Books Cafe! I ordered their tea and toast with labneh and zaatar which I highly recommend :) their costumer service is great as well, they were very kind definitely worth stopping by if you’re around!

I tried the arabic coffee with cardamom and it was truly amazing , I plan to come back and try the palestinian ???????? breakfast! The staff is welcoming and the interior has an original minimalist design. Totally recommend them if you visit Granada!

Jerusalem Cafe combines cozy charm with a peaceful, book-filled atmosphere that invites you to slow down and truly enjoy the moment. Everything here is excellent! from the unique decor , to the warm hospitality of the owner couple, who are incredibly kind. Whether you’re looking to read, work, or simply relax, this is the perfect spot!

Lovely cafe with very friendly staff. We had the Palestinian breakfast for 2 and it was really good. Nice and fresh, and very reasonable price. The lovely young fella also recommended some traditional sweets which we took for later - they were delicious! Go support this lovely business when you're in Granada :)

Amazing food. We got the Palestinian breakfast for 2 with a plate of hummus and ful, was enough to feed 4 of us coupled only with an extra bowl of fattoush! Prices were very reasonable, the service was very helpful and friendly. Very cosy vibes and loved the indoor fountain.

Fantastic food, service, and ambiance. It's like there's a Palestinian grandma in the back whipping up these dishes. The Palestine Breakfast was amazing and the zaatar pie and foul were the best I have had. The lemon and hibiscus drinks were super refreshing after the morning spent at Al Hambra. Support a family owned spot that is keeping the heritage alive.
