Riyadh has no shortage of cafés; it has far fewer where you can open a laptop and stay. These are the ones whose own listings back it up — Wi-Fi, room to sit, and a crowd that lingers.
How we chose
- Cafés and coffee-serving venues only — full-service restaurants are excluded, however good their Wi-Fi
- Wi-Fi or laptop-friendly seating listed by the venue
- Quiet and study-friendly signals counted in favour
- Lively, music-led rooms ranked down
