Number one coffee shop across Mazar-i-Sharif, I truly recommend this place to everyone, specially those who came from foreign countries. Also a five star rating is worthy of their amazing services.

It is a very cozy and relaxing place to spend time there. The environment inside gives you pleasant and charming vibe. The service is pretty cool and fast. The staff is very polite and helpful in choosing and advising what to choose and what to eat. I had a one day stop in this beautiful city and this was my favorite place. I will definitely visit this place again in my next visit and recommend it to all. The coffee is fresh - one you dont see anywhere else. It is first time I am seeing a cafe in Mazar using fresh bens of coffee. Overall everything is great.

Gole Surkh Cafe, A special cafe shop in a city with a short coffee history. They offer a variety of cold and hot specialty beverages and super delicious desserts. But I was impressed more with their espresso and cappuccino. They make truly perfect espresso and cappuccino comparable to world brands but with reasonable prices. Gole Surkh has friendly and welcoming staffs and great service. If you are looking for a break and a charging point, stop by and enjoy.
