Soulaf Coffee

Soulaf is a coffee house in Al-Rawdah, Hofuf, on King Abdullah Road. Its name is a classical Arabic word: sulaf and sulafah mean the first pressing of a thing — its purest and finest part. The café itself gestures at the meaning in its own profile, quoting a line of verse in which the word appears. It has two locations in Al-Ahsa, both on King Abdullah Road: this one in Al-Rawdah in Hofuf, and another in Al-Ghassaniyah in Al-Mubarraz, with a third branch in Khobar. The spelling it uses for itself is Soulaf, and in Arabic sulaf rather than the commonly written sawlaf.
