Kicksters — Restaurant in Municipality of Al Shamal

It's Thursday, yet another gorgeous, beautiful day on the road to my next destination.

Good morning, Riyadh. I stopped by at Tamimi supermarket to buy fruits, and then, as I was browsing through a list of cafes, I clicked on Kicksters, and here I am, sharp at 6:10 AM.

I greet Saeed (a seasoned barista) and get permission to take pictures and videos for my review.

There are an impressive variety of coffee beans on display, and today, the Ethiopian, West Arsi, Erlium (the crop is grown at 2100 - 1945 altitude, the cupping notes are fruity, chocolate, black grape) this coffee variety is used to prepare a hot cup of V60 coffee (machine made), Saeed did the processing from start to finish 😋, well done! my rating is 9 out of 10.

I don’t recommend the place. Very inconvenient and crowded especially in weekends. See the photos, that’s just typical customers behavior. It’s even worse in...

One of my favorite coffee shops in Riyadh. I have been here many times because of the nice work atmosphere although it’s not really equipped with many work-suitable tables, but I managed to get comfortable with the size of the tables. when it comes to coffee, I tried many of the traditional drinks like latte, cappuccino, flat white, spanish latte, and coffee of the day, and all were great. Finally, you must try...
