Every day, it seems Riyadh’s matcha and cafe scene expands. Good Neighbor is the latest hotspot for weekend cafe hoppers in the capital.
Located in the heart of the bustling Al-Olaya neighborhood, it is the ideal place for someone like me, who enjoys nothing more than an iced matcha and dessert on summer nights.
The spot has gained popularity online for its matcha, coffee, ice-cream sandwiches and crepes, adding a twist to the usual Riyadh cafe menu.
The interior has a Parisian vibe, with soft, delicate colors, blue and navy accents on the cups and walls, and chic, simple tables and artistic pieces throughout, from lamps and paintings to framed artwork.
The ambience is welcoming — “Welcome Home, Neighbor” is printed on the windows. The pastries lining the coffee bar look fresh and inviting.
