Ghafawat Cafe in the Kingdom’s capital presents a refreshing concept — private capsules you can book for work, meetings, or simply watching a movie in peace.
Each capsule feels like a first-class airplane seat, complete with a table, TV, and locker for your things.
The setup is ideal for focus or relaxation. The capsules are cozy and equipped with Netflix and Shahid, so you can tailor your time there however you like.
The food menu is limited, though. While the coffee was decent, the flat white was not great. The turkey sandwich was delicious, and the Ghafawat mojito was refreshing.
I also liked the Raffaello, and the cinnabon cakes were enjoyable as well, though the pecan and carrot cakes were average.
The menu would benefit greatly with more snack and meal options.
Prices range from SR20-40 ($5-10), and there is a 50 percent discount on the second hour of the capsule booking, which makes extended stays more appealing.
Overall, Ghafawat Cafe is a great spot to relax after work or the gym.
With thoughtful touches like blankets and a call button for service, it offers an experience I will be trying again, even with the occasional slow service.
