London’s Hottest New Cafés Have a Saudi Accent
Saudi coffee shops are reshaping London’s café scene. These aren’t just places to sip - they’re stylish social hubs bringing Gulf energy to the city’s most caffeinated corners.
London is getting a royal refresh from the Kingdom. A wave of Saudi-owned destinations are reshaping where people go to eat, linger, and be seen - spaces where sleek interiors, rose-scented pastries, and playlists that bounce between Khaleeji pop and UK grime set the tone. These aren’t spin-offs of traditional Arab restaurants - they’re full-on expressions of modern Gulf identity, where design, flavour, and mood all move in sync.
Think saffron lattes served in sculptural mugs, perfume counters tucked beside dessert displays, and staff who know your name and your angles. In a city full of copy-paste chains and quiet laptop cafés, these Saudi spots offer something far more social. Here’s your guide to where Londoners are showing up, dressing up, and staying long after the last bite.
