Half Million Café

Specialty coffee chain with a cult Jeddah following

A homegrown Jeddah specialty-coffee chain that has expanded across the Gulf since 2014. Cool minimalist branches, baristas with serious technique, and a menu that runs from straight espresso to creative seasonal drinks (saffron latte, rose cardamom flat white).

Several branches around the city. The Corniche-side locations are popular all evening; the Tahliah Street branches do better at lunchtime. A reliable WiFi-and-laptop choice for visitors needing to work.
