Why go

Coffee, fresh juice and an afternoon on the terrace

The terrace is the reason to come to La Bleu Cafe. Order coffee or a fresh juice, take a seat outside, and the afternoon organises itself from there. The drinks run from coffee through other non-alcoholic options to cocktails, and shisha is part of the service rather than an afterthought, which tells you what kind of stop this is: a long one, taken sitting down, with the order arriving at the table rather than handed over at a counter.

A café-lounge rather than a coffee bar

The offer is deliberately broad. Alongside the drinks there is food, snacks, sweets, ice cream and pastries, with plated dishes including grilled chicken for anyone treating the visit as a meal. Wi-Fi, screens carrying sport and music, and table service complete a format that sits closer to a lounge than to a specialty coffee counter, and the mix is the point rather than a lack of focus.

The venue belongs to the Captain's Group in Aqaba and describes itself as the place where the city slows down and unwinds. That is a fair summary of the room: casual, social, lively when it is full, and built around outdoor seating rather than a quick pass at the till. It works for a group as easily as for two people, which is not true of most coffee stops.

How to use it

Come expecting to stay. A takeaway coffee is possible but misses what the place is arranged for; the seating, the screens and the shisha are all there for people settling in for a couple of hours. If there is a match on, the screens become the centre of the room and the terrace fills accordingly. Fresh juice is the order that suits the climate best, and the ice cream and pastry side keeps a table going between rounds.

Order in stages. Coffee or fresh juice first, something from the ice cream and pastry side next, and grilled chicken or another plate if the table decides it is eating properly. That progression matches the way the room works, and it is the easiest way to use a café that does a bit of everything without pushing you towards any one thing.

Frequently asked questions

What is there to order at La Bleu Cafe?

Coffee and fresh juice lead the drinks, with other non-alcoholic options and cocktails alongside them. The food runs wider than a pastry counter: snacks, sweets, ice cream and pastries on the sweet side, and plated dishes including grilled chicken if you are eating properly. Shisha is part of the service too.

What is the room like?

It works as a lounge rather than a quick coffee stop. Seating spills outdoors onto a terrace, screens carry sport and music, Wi-Fi is available and service comes to the table, so most visits run long. The café is part of the Captain's Group and shares that casual, social feel.
