Blumen Coffee & Sweets has a quiet outpost in the JAX District in Diriyah, but it is a bit removed from the main attractions.
I had hoped to try a few items from its menu, but several were not available during my visit. Instead, I opted for a breakfast choice: the reasonably priced makdous sandwich and a cup of coffee.
The coffee was enjoyable and brewed well. The sandwich, however, did not quite work for me. The filling was saltier than expected, which overshadowed the otherwise good-quality bread. I managed half of it, but it was not a flavor profile I would revisit.
Given its position near the highway, the cafe may rely more on passersby than destination traffic, and it was fairly quiet when I stopped by. While the main coffee area was clean and pleasantly scented, the washroom could benefit from more consistent upkeep.
One thing to bear in mind is that the Wi-Fi is available for phones, but not ideal for laptop work, so it is better suited for a quick break rather than a remote-work session.
Overall, Blumen’s coffee is genuinely good but, for me, the combination of limited menu availability, the sandwich’s seasoning, and the out-of-the-way location mean the establishment may not be a regular stop.
Still, with a few adjustments, this branch has the potential to be a convenient option for those passing through the area.
