ASA AL-FURAT: Authentic Iraqi Pastries & Specialty Coffees in Springfield Downtown

A perfect 5/5 experience! Asa Al-Furat is fantastic. Everything from the moment you walk in is wonderful. The atmosphere is calming and relaxing, the staff are so nice, and most importantly, the drinks are incredible. My smoky date blend with banana was delicious—a must-try! I'll definitely be back.

Such a cute little coffee shop! The workers here are so friendly and everything we tried was sooooo good! The toast sandwich and milk baklava are especially delicious! I loved my iced coffee too!!! So glad we have a fun place like this downtown!!

What a LOVELY new addition to the bustling Springfield downtown scene. Every traditional Iraqi pastry I’ve had is delicious, especially the milk chocolate baklava and Orange Cake. I keep going back so I can sample every item. The owner has created a warm, inviting and beautiful atmosphere to study in, meet for a book club, and go on a casual date. I love meeting friends to play chess while drinking the cardamom milk tea. Can’t wait to go back!

One of the best cups of coffee I have ever had. If you’re looking for comfort and joy in a cup, then you need to get yourself downtown to Asa Al-Furat. My wife and I had the Iraqi Jeqlitiya Coffee which was so good we needed another cup to go on our way out. We also had their Karak Tea which was simply delicious and stands out among other milk teas in the area. We also had a sampling of four of their baked goods. Their two Baklava were light and not overly sweet, the Znoud was so delectably chocolaty and smooth, and the coconut cookies were airy and perfectly toasted. All paired BEAUTIFULLY with the coffee and tea, and we will be back again and again to sample their absolutely lovely selection of quality goods. Cannot recommend enough. Try everything they have, and you will not be disappointed!

It feels like someone has brought you into their home. Based on my first visit, the Iraqi Jeqlitiya Coffee is great to sit with and sip. I definitely recommend the Znoud El Sit - I took some home to family, and we fought over them - haha! I hope this business continues to do well!

This place is a new favorite of mine! The baked goods I've had so far are very tasty and always leave me wanting more. It's always a pleasure to speak to the owner, she's always so wonderful to talk to. In addition to this, the space is very accommodating. I've had the Karak Tea (milk tea with cardamom) which was very good. When it comes to their baked goods I've had their baklava, milk baklava, Znoud El Sit, orange cake, and the date balls! Everything was amazing, but (in my opinion) the milk baklava is 100% the star of the show! I will be a frequent flyer to be sure!!

Beautiful pastries and coffee! If you are downtown Springfield this is a must stop. The traditional layered Iraqi coffee is heavenly and perfect for a crisp fall morning!

My boyfriend and I have been here twice now. The first time we got a sample plate of their baklava, the kunafa and the Jeqlitiya coffee. The coffee alone is worth going for! Their chocolate baklava was my personal favorite. The second time around we also tried the toast sandwich and the dates in sesame seeds. Im not the biggest date lover, but i would definitely eat those again. The sandwich was very simple, but good. I really enjoyed the bread they use. We will definitely be regulars here.
