The best café house from Carabu Coffee that I've been to in Riyadh.
Ambiance here is paid for at top dollar. Lots of nooks with different kinds of artwork make you feel there are several livingroom spaces (American and Canadian style). My favorite is the space with a little fireplace.
This Carabu Coffee is the only one that I've been to that has a Lemon Mono Cake, 15 SAR.
The service is excellent. First of all, this location is 24 hours! Then there's Robert, the night shift barista, he will do the Mango Colada with more mango flavor, less ice, etc., this is the only location I've gotten this kind of service.
To top it all off, this location is connected to the Olaya Mall.
Great...

For a branch located in such a prime location, right in front of Kingdom Tower, and in a country positioning itself as a top global destination, I expected a much higher standard of both product quality and customer service. There’s definitely room for...
