The Bottom Line
Be Speciality Coffee is a calm Al Garhoud café for people who care about the cup as much as the surroundings. You can choose beans from origins such as Ethiopia or Brazil, order a flat white or V60, and settle in with something savoury or sweet. The flat white and iced V60 receive especially specific praise.
The room’s quiet, peaceful character is a major draw. Reviews describe it as suitable for reading, studying, laptop work and meetings, with many plugs and WiFi available. Public parking is reported to be very close, and one guest successfully reserved a corner for a more organised visit.
Food is more than an afterthought: toasties, breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast are praised, while tiramisu, cheesecake, cookies and the cream caramel are recurring dessert highlights. Spanish Latte and Pistachio Latte are popular choices, although one reviewer wished the cups were larger. Service is not uniformly smooth.
A delivery order reportedly took over 25 minutes because staff had not seen it, and another review describes difficulty getting attention for a drive-up order. Drinks can also vary: a distilled-milk latte was found bitter and too strong, while another guest disliked an overly sweet salted caramel latte. The café has also been described as warm, and some seating may not suit long work sessions.
