A Family Dream Come True
What began in September 2021 as a small family café has grown into a cherished local spot where Jordanian roots blend with Monterey’s vibrant culture. Siblings work side by side behind the counter, while Mama brings her homemade pastries to life every weekend. Each crepe, sandwich, and pastry is more than just a meal — it’s a piece of their family story shared with every guest.
Tradition with a Twist
Blending authentic Jordanian flavors with classic café favorites is at the heart of the journey. Za’atar, sumac, and warm Turkish coffee bring a unique touch to the menu, creating something familiar yet exciting. From weekend halloumi pastries to Nutella crepes, every recipe reflects a love for both heritage and innovation, making each visit feel special and personal.
Growing with the Community
After three years of dedication, the family proudly expanded by taking over Nacho Bizness in summer 2024, continuing its legacy on Alvarado Street. This milestone reflects not just growth but deep community trust and support. Locals and visitors alike have become part of the extended family, turning a small café into a meaningful gathering place in Monterey.
