Have you ever craved a coffee experience that transcends the ordinary? Look no further than Cleopatra Royal Coffee, a coffee shop that promises to take you on a journey to a world of opulence and indulgence. With its royal flair, Cleo aims to elevate the small moments in life and provide an unforgettable experience for its guests.
Cleopatra Royal Coffee, lovingly referred to as Cleo, was born out of a desire to create a coffee shop concept that showcased the flavors and richness of the Mediterranean and Middle East with a touch of royal elegance. Owner Emilio Dominguez drew inspiration from his experiences living in the Middle East while serving in the Air Force, and together with the creative team at Labor of Love Hospitality Group, they brought Cleo to life.
Inspired by the spirit of the legendary queen herself, Cleo is more than just a coffee shop. From the deep Arabic house music that fills the air to the regal purple and gold columns at the order area, every detail is carefully curated to immerse you in a world fit for kings and queens. The team at Cleo goes above and beyond to make every guest feel like royalty, addressing them as “Your Highness” and ensuring that their experience is nothing short of extraordinary.
When it comes to culinary delights, Cleo doesn’t disappoint. The bakery items are made locally by Lebanese artisan bakers, offering a tantalizing array of treats. The exotic flavors of their Olive Oil Lemon Loaf and Rosewater Cinnamon Roll will transport your taste buds to distant lands and leave you craving more.
But Cleo isn’t just about pastries. The drinks on offer are equally enchanting. Among their extensive menu is the Turkish Sunrise, a sparkling espresso refresher that invigorates and delights. For those seeking a cold brew experience like no other, the Pharaoh’s Cold Brew with vanilla and lavender almond sweet foam is a must-try. And let’s not forget the Habibi, a baby blue and pink steamer that tantalizes your palate with flavors of spiced brown sugar and banana. Cleo’s drinks are not only delicious but also works of art, carefully crafted to evoke wonder and awe.
Cleopatra Royal Coffee aims to be a destination for anyone who craves more from their coffee experience, a place where the small moments are elevated to extraordinary heights. Housed in a remodeled vintage gas station within an indoor/outdoor gallery, Cleo’s ambiance is a gateway to exploration. As you walk through the antique Asian doors, you enter a home away from home where creativity and inspiration thrive.
The creative team at Labor of Love Hospitality Group has proven its prowess in the industry. Their previous venture, The Modern Rose, garnered accolades such as Florida’s Best Cafe, Best Brunch, and Top 100 Coffee Shop in North America. With their expertise and vision, they aim to establish Cleo as the authority in the realm of exceptional coffee experiences.
When asked about the motivation to build the brand, Emilio Dominguez said, “We are creators at heart. We want to share our unique concepts with the world, create opportunities for our team, and work towards a common mission with purpose. Building our own brands allows us to embody these characteristics and offer our creations to everyone who wants to enjoy them.”
Looking ahead, Cleopatra Royal Coffee envisions growth both locally and internationally. In the next five years, the team plans to acquire properties in high-volume areas and create their own “markets” that bring together all their concepts under one roof. These destinations will truly redefine the coffee shop experience and become must-visit locations for those seeking something extraordinary.
As the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingers in the air, the allure of Cleopatra Royal Coffee becomes irresistible. With each visit, guests are transported into a world where their senses are awakened and their spirits lifted. Within these walls, in the embrace of Cleopatra Royal Coffee, you are no longer just a visitor—you are royalty.
