What books@café is known for

Books@café combines a bookshop with places to eat and drink in Amman. The original Jabal Amman business opened in May 1997, according to its own history. Its current website lists that branch at 12 Omar Bin Al-Khattab Street and a separate Abdoun address at 10 Fawzi Qawoqgy Street. Keeping those locations distinct matters when arranging a visit or meeting someone for a meal. The bookshop offers books in English and Arabic rather than limiting the choice to one language. Paperblanks journals and gifts appear alongside the books, giving shoppers an alternative to choosing a title for somebody else. Art associated with Jacaranda is also featured on the site. Food menus belong to the café side of the business and should be checked separately from the book catalogue. The combined format makes it possible to plan browsing and a meal at the same venue, without assuming identical stock or menus at both addresses. Its Amman location does not establish where the books or stationery were manufactured.
