For me and my gf our favorite coffe shop we usually do our dates here. Absolutely phenomenal service, really good drinks (hot/cold) Note: their cold mojito is a banger. Finally the atmosphere always matches the vibes

Origin Cafe may not be the top café in Erbil, but it’s definitely one of the most enjoyable spots. They serve delicious coffee, making it a great choice for coffee enthusiasts. However, they use plastic plates and cups, which might not appeal to everyone. Despite this, the outdoor seating area offers a beautiful view, making it a relaxing place to enjoy your drink.

Nice environment and view But the place is really small like when it's summer and hot you'll not have a place to sit inside which is a problem! Plus I don't find it nice to be so close to the other tables! The taste is yum but it's really costy a very small slice of a cake and a drink you'll have to pay around 15 ID! With these you have to serve yourself as well ... But nevertheless you'll get the best quality of desert and coffee with extra other things! And in winter! The weather is great to sit outside ...

The sandwiches are so good when heated. The smoked turkey and chicken sausage are my favorite breakfast pickups. Their iced drinks are all very good. My favorite is the iced pistachio latte, i looove the tiny chunks of pistachio. Not a big fan of the hot drinks because they usually taste very bland. The atmosphere is great with the exception of how some of the guys there act like they’ve never seen a girl before so that bumped it down to a 3. The service is amazing, everything is ready in less than 5-10 minutes. However, they are a little overpriced but that is to be expected with the location.
