Located in the eastern part of Riyadh, a few minutes away from the Granada Mall, Katf coffee shop has a bright and inviting atmosphere.
The interior is simple and colorful, creating a pleasant first impression. However, the seating arrangements are not particularly comfortable, suggesting that the space might be designed for short visits rather than long study or work sessions. This design choice was somewhat surprising to me.
Although the cafe is quite small and the seating could be improved, many customers still seem to come to Katf to work or study.
The availability of Wi-Fi is a definite plus and adds to the cafe’s appeal as a convenient spot for brief productivity breaks.
However, what I genuinely appreciated at Katf was the coffee. The beans were perfectly roasted. One cup of the Coffee of the Day was enough to explain why many people come to the cafe, along with its reasonable prices and friendly staff.
I also ordered the zaatar, black olive and feta cheese babka that was beautifully displayed and one piece of the chocolate cake the cafe has named the “emotional cake.”
The food and service are my favorite things about this coffee shop. I also like the wall covered in positive notes — it is a thoughtful and creative way to invite customers to share their impressions of Katf and connect with the place.
