Gloria Jeans

Gloria Jeans is a chain coffee shop that has little outlets all around Amman, and I'm guessing other cities, but I have no way to know about that. The one we went two was maybe a fifteen minute walk from our apartment building, down Shar3 Jam3a, or University Street, past the University of Jordan. Lovingly known as Fat Street for it's plethora of fast food chains, mostly American, but including the Middle Eastern options such as Lebnani's Snacks, and the local smaller cafés, it was always crowded with college kids and some families.

Gloria Jeans is just a simple coffee shop, but they've got it set up to have plenty of room to sit and study, as we did for many times and long hours. We'd just take all our books there and study, especially right before finals. The guys working there really liked tw of the girls in our group, and we ended up with Ramadan Kareem coupons, which sadly enough we never ended up using. But we still frequented the cofee shop often enough, as there was a second floor room with a big window, which was great for people watching in between Arabic worksheets and notecards.
