About
Located in the heart of Nizwa's historic Souq, Shawathin Coffeeshop and Cafe is a must-visit eatery known for its wide range of sandwiches. Operated by local individuals, this café offers a unique dining experience. While their Americano coffee is satisfactory, some customers feel it could have a more tangy flavor. Nevertheless, the café's upstairs area boasts breathtaking views, especially at night.Why you should go
- Enjoy freshly made street food like egg and cheese Rugag
- Try delicious vegetarian options including falafel sandwiches or salads with Omani bread
- Savor refreshing fresh juices while sitting on the rooftop with views of Nizwa Fort

Waw so beautiful here food I like this here drink & food amazing 🤩 all so here looking view nice
On the outside of the souk. Friendly service, simple street food effectively and fresh fruit juices. All freshly made and served as quickly as the number of orders placed allowed. Very busy corner on Goat Market day.
The traditional egg and cheese Rugag was delicious
I’ve eaten the same dinner here for the past 3 nights bc it’s so cheap, delicious and filling: egg and cheese on housemade chapati (def better than the even cheaper beta bread). The first night I also had a salad which was so filling I saved half for the next day. Lots of dark green leaves which made me so happy in this land of carbs.
The staff is friendly and a rooftop seating area has great views over the souq and historic Nizwa.

We found this little coffeeshop that was recommended to us by a local!
It’s a bit hidden in a corner and once you order you can go up to the rooftop to eat where you have a beautiful view of the souq and the fort!
We got the omani bread, which consists of local cream cheese and omani chips! The coffee was very saffrony and the lemon mint juice was super fresh! Go check this place out!
Such a great place to sit and enjoy a lazy afternoon under the trees at the Nizwa souk - watching the world go by.
Delicious shwarma, rugag, and great cocktail juices. Very charismatic staff too!
