As a recent regular at Serdab cafe in Riyadh’s Al-Aridh neighborhood, I can say it is more of a cozy retreat rather than just a coffee shop.
Its charm is not only in the delightful offerings but also the inviting atmosphere that encourages you to linger.
Serdab embodies the essence of a neighborhood coffee shop, a concept that has gained popularity in Saudi Arabia.
The spacious layout features comfortable seating and couches that beckon you to unwind. As someone who enjoys working in cafes, I appreciate the desk tables equipped with power outlets.
One of my favorites is their signature matcha, which costs SR23 ($6). While I wish I could customize it more — especially since they only offer full-fat milk — I was encouraged to hear they are working on expanding their vegan options.
