Alright, coffee lovers let’s talk about the best coffee shop in Riyadh or, more accurately, four of them because new coffee shops are popping out in every corner of the city these days.
If you are looking to kickstart your morning or maybe unwind after a busy day at the office you will find plenty of great coffee shops in Riyadh.
Whether you’re after a perfectly brewed latte, a bold espresso, or a unique signature blend, Riyadh’s coffee scene will not let you down.
From locations that will make your Instagram story go viral to places where you can work remotely, the options are endless.
BUT
So many options can confuse you.
Luckily, I have tried more than 30 cafes in Riyadh.
YEAH, 30! I MEAN IT.
So grab your coffee mug and don’t sleep yet because we will explore my favorites together so you know exactly where to go next to get that caffeine.
1. Elixir Bunn Coffee Roasters
They have branches all over Riyadh so you can always find an Elixir Bunn café near you. This place doesn’t just offer some fancy cups of caffeine but gives you a relaxed and homey feeling.
Have you seen a colorful Pinterest board?
Well, this place is like a real-life Pinterest board.
They have a modern and minimalist décor with white walls, warm wooden touches, and big windows letting in all the natural light.
The soft white lights create a relaxing feel and those wooden floors add a bit more elegance to the overall atmosphere. This place will make you feel like you are in your own little bubble and is perfect for work, relaxing, or a nice chat with friends.
Coffee Options
Elixir Bunn coffee shop has tons of options or maybe I can say whatever you think of is available here.
If you want something strong they have the Espresso or Ristretto that will wake you up and make you feel fresh.
For something more smooth and relaxing their Cappuccino and Latte will be an ideal choice for you.
AND
if you’re in the mood for a treat, the Mocha (hello, espresso, and chocolate!) is everything you didn’t know you needed.
For a summer caffeine fix you can try their Iced Chemex or Iced Kalita.
You will thank me later!
Oh! And a must-try is their Matcha Latte which is ideal for the hot days of Riyadh.
Average Price
For a coffee that feels and looks good, the prices are usually high but not here. You can get a giant cup of coffee for around SAR 20 – 25 here.
2. Brew92
This place is all about relaxing and unique vibes. If you are looking for a coffee shop in Riyadh where you can relax and forget about the busy life of Riyadh this is the place to go to.
Their vibe is modern and cool. The exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and metal accents give this place a modern and edgy feel.
BUT THAT’S NOT IT!
Geometric patterns on the wall and that soft white and blue color scheme make the place visually stunning and soft.
The soft lights add that extra calm touch and make the place perfect for a coffee date or a solo chill session.
Coffee Options
This place is mainly known for its filter-based coffee and my favorite out of all of them is the Elite Drip Coffee.
But that isn’t the only option you get here.
If you want something light then their filter-based wave drip is also a great option to consider.
HOW ABOUT ESPRESSO?
The Hot Spanish Latte or its iced sibling are crowd-pleasers, offering that sweet, creamy taste that you’ll never want to finish.
Something that you should not miss is their White Mocha 92, which strikes the perfect balance between taste and caffeine.
Oh, and if you’re in the mood for something different, their M&M Matcha and Mango will be your summer fix.
Average Price
Brew92 has kept its prices reasonable compared to other cafes in Riyadh. A normal latte will cost you around SAR 15 -18 while the Elite Drip Coffee or Cold Brew will set you back 26-23 SAR.
3. Boss.Co Roastery
This is the kind of place where you would want to stay for hours and enjoy multiple cups of coffee. Their combination of full white and a hint of black color scheme makes this place minimalist and attractive.
The stunning mural of a woman adds a unique, artistic touch and those huge windows make the white marble floors and walls shine.
If you prefer your coffee with some fresh air then their outdoor seating is just as classic as the indoors. Those huge buildings in the background and the metal furniture give this place a unique feel.
If you work remotely then all you need to do is grab your laptop and work there for hours.
YOU WILL NEVER GET TIRED!
Coffee Options
They have kept their coffee options classic and their menu covers all your favorites. From an Espresso to a Flat White, every cup is perfection. For a touch of sweetness, the Spanish Latte or its iced counterpart is a must-try.
If you are after something bold and refreshing then Filter Coffee and Cold Brew are a great option to get you in the mood.
NOT A COFFEE LOVER?
They have got a great selection of Indian, Pakistani, and Italian teas like the famous Masala Chai and Herbal Tea.
Average Price
The prices are surprisingly low and you can enjoy the beautiful ambiance with a cup of coffee under SAR 25.
4. Unsorso Café
If you are after a place that gives you vibes like your grandma’s place then this coffee shop is definitely for you.
With its relaxed atmosphere and laid-back ambiance, this café is perfect for a relaxed afternoon or a calm early morning. Unsorso café has mastered the art of simplicity and cleanness.
The clean white walls and big windows make the space feel light, airy, and inviting. Touches of wood and metal add just the right amount of warmth and texture, giving it that cozy yet stylish edge.
Coffee Options
This café has kept the classics alive with a lineup of espresso-based drinks that will surprise you every time.
Whether you’re craving a Latte or a Cappuccino, you’ll get quality in every sip. The Spanish Latte (hot or iced) is my favorite it’s sweet and creamy!
For something bold and brewed, their Filter Coffee or Cold Brew hits just right.
Not a coffee fan?
No worries!
They’ve got teas like Masala Chai and Herbal Tea, plus refreshing options like Iced Lemonade and fresh juices.
Average Price
This café has nailed the prices too. I am not sure how they are making profits because you will be spending between SAR 14 – 18 here for a nice cup of coffee.
