Tips for a Better Visit
Try sage. Order the iced sage tea, which multiple reviews highlight as unique, refreshing and worth trying.
Ask first. Ask what is currently available before ordering, since one visit found most menu items unavailable.
Plan parking. Allow extra time for parking when the cafe is busy; reviewers disagree on how easy it is to find a space.
Use refill. If buying olive oil, keep the glass bottle: a review says refills receive a discount.
Check events. Look at the cafe’s Instagram before visiting if you want a workshop, pop-up or cultural event.
Try tart. For something less conventional, share the chocolate-and-zaatar dessert; one reviewer found it different and not too sweet.

The Bottom Line
Mishkah is a Palestinian-inspired cafe and creative space in Al Quoz where coffee sits alongside an olive oil station and a small cultural retail experience. You can settle in with coffee, matcha or tea, order the well-liked iced sage, and browse products such as olive oil, olives, sumac and zaatar. The zaatar chocolate tart is one of the more unusual food choices, while brownies, cookies and tiramisu also appear in reviews.
The atmosphere is the main draw. Earthy decor, Palestinian photographs, books, posters, music and handmade crafts make it feel distinct from a standard cafe. It is commonly described as peaceful and comfortable for working or reading; one customer stayed for eight hours.
The venue also hosts workshops, pop-ups and cultural activities, and has been used for family events involving Palestinian storytelling and songs. There are a few practical caveats. Parking reports vary: one reviewer found plenty of space, while another said it was difficult when the cafe was crowded, so busy periods may require patience.
A 2023 visit also found many menu items unavailable and the Cold Sage overly syrupy, suggesting it is sensible to ask what is available and how drinks are prepared. If buying olive oil, ask about the refill option, which a reviewer says comes with a discount.
