Cafe Review: Ralph's Coffee, KAFD, Riyadh

Hailing from the heart of New York, Ralph's Coffee has officially opened its doors in Riyadh in June, infusing the city’s coffee scene with a dose of American elegance.

What once began as a quirky, pop-up coffee truck in the capital last summer, has now taken permanent residence in the same location, transforming into a fully fledged cafe. The result? A more lavish fashion-infused cafe experience that whisks visitors straight to the sophisticated streets of New York, all through the discerning lens of Ralph Lauren.

From the very first step inside Ralph's Coffee, the cafe’s design speaks volumes: an ode to classic American style, where crisp white and deep green tones are interwoven throughout, to create that signature Ralph Lauren atmosphere and feel. Carefully curated artworks line the walls, adding a touch of old-world refinement to the room. And while the indoor seating says plush comfort, the outdoor terrace – overlooking the gleaming towers of KAFD – promises a more enchanting experience, especially on Riyadh’s crisp winter nights. 

The cafe’s beverage offerings are as sophisticated as the space itself. From expertly pulled Americanos and velvety flat whites to perfectly balanced lattes and the house specialty, there’s no shortage of refined sips. Your drink arrives in an elegant glass cup, complete with delicate latte art featuring none other than Ralph Lauren’s iconic bear.

As for the sweets? A selection of classic American treats: chewy cookies, decadent brownies, and airy muffins. Delicious!

True to Ralph Lauren’s devotion to detail, the cafe goes beyond coffee and pastries, offering shelves of elegantly displayed keepsakes. Think collectible mugs, plates, and other hand-picked pieces, each bearing the distinctive Saudi emblem, a perfect blend of local spirit and global brand prestige.  

My visit to Ralph’s Coffee felt like more than a quick stop — it was a thoughtfully designed pause. From the first welcome to the final sip, the experience strikes a balance between charm and refinement. It’s a place for slowing down, enjoying the details, and appreciating good coffee done well.
