Your Insta feed deserves only the best. We’re talking about the kind of aesthetic spots that have everyone asking you for the location pin.
If you’re in Riyadh and you’ve been low-key stalking influencers wondering where they’re taking their pics, or if you’re just in the mood for a vibe that’s 100% aesthetic while you sip on something delish, we’ve got you covered.
We’ve rounded up the most Instagrammable cafes in Riyadh that are basically made for the ‘gram.
Eya Coffee
📍Prince Ahmad Ibn Abd Al Aziz, Al Wurud.
Sip on a latte, or have a shot of espresso that wakes you up faster than your alarm ever could. Not into either? It’s okay, they have all the drinks you could crave. While they’re good, the drinks are not the reason you need to go to this cafe. From rustic wooden accents, marble floors, and doses of greenery, this is where aesthetics and caffeine collide, creating the perfect backdrop for your next Instagram post.
Hakwah
📍 Prince Salman bin Mohammad bin Saud, As Sahafah.
If this new cafe is not already blowing up your feed, consider this your official call to be a trendsetter. Cookies that melt in your mouth, coffee that hits just right, all served in the most aesthetically pleasing spot you’ve ever seen. Why just scroll when you could be the one everyone’s double-tapping on?
Fabrica de Cafè
📍 Abi Bakr As Siddiq Rd, An Narjis.
The place is a whole aesthetic—neutral tones, soft lighting, and those Pinterest-worthy ceramic vases that make you want to redecorate your whole life. It’s perf for the minimalist girlies. They have flaky French pastries, chunky cookies that are happiness in a bite, and some delish ice cream to cool off in this heat. Oh, and whether you’re here for a steaming latte or an ice-cold refresher, they’ve got your caffeine fix covered.
Moon Shell
📍 King Abdullah Dt.
Moon Shell Café is the spot you didn’t know you needed in Riyadh. It’s a café that’s not just about sipping on your latte (or matcha) but about taking pics in every corner of its dreamy, bohemian space. It’s like someone took a Pinterest board and turned it into a café. Moon Shell’s menu is also plant-powered, so you’re fueling your body with the good stuff while soaking in that aesthetic. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just down to try something new, their dishes are as fresh as the café’s décor.
EL&N
📍Khalifah Ibn Badi, Al Mohammadiyyah.
Yes, London’s famous EL&N is in Riyadh. If you and your bestie are absolutely living for that pink aesthetic, then you should run to EL&N. This cafe is practically dipped in cotton candy, from floor to ceiling. Everywhere you look, it’s a sea of pinks, shimmering accents, and Insta-worthy decor that’ll make your feed pop. The vibe is so sweet, every detail is curated to make your eyes—and your followers—go wild.
Capri
📍 Al Thoumamah Rd, As Sahafah.
This cafe has sleek blue interiors paired with chic grey marble, creating a serene yet stylish backdrop. The real showstopper here is the cherry blossom tree that’s the cafe’s centrepiece. It’s not just any tree; it’s a full-on Instagram moment waiting to happen.
Cacti Cafe
📍 Al Thoumamah Rd, Qurtubah.
This is not just your go-to spot for treats and sips. If you can’t tell by the name, this cafe is cactus-themed (unique and super cute). It is filled with lush greenery, cute cacti, and those succulents that make you wanna snap pics all day long. It has a homey-chic with rustic touches like comfy Chesterfield sofas that are begging you to sink in and chill, and exposed brick walls (perf for the IG pics).
