Shaghf — Arabic for passion — began in the UAE in 2018. Today we bring Gulf-inspired specialty coffee and café culture to communities across the United States and Canada.

Shaghf was founded in the UAE in 2018 with a clear vision: bring the warmth of Gulf café culture to the world. From hand-pulled Karak chai to pistachio lattes, every recipe is rooted in tradition and crafted with care.
In 2023, Shaghf secured master franchise rights for North America — opening locations across the United States and Canada. Each café is designed to feel like home: a place to gather, connect, and savour something real.
