Oct 20, 2026•3 min read

Hail's coffee scene has grown into something worth exploring, whether you're a longtime resident or just passing through the region. From dedicated specialty roasters sourcing beans from Ethiopia and Colombia to cozy neighborhood spots perfect for a morning flat white, the city offers a solid mix of places to sip, work, or catch up with friends. In this guide, Saudi Living rounds up the top cafes in Hail, with what you can expect at each one.

FRO Cafe

A reliable all-day option, FRO Cafe keeps long hours that suit both early risers and night owls. It opens from 6:00 AM to 2:00 AM Saturday through Thursday, while on Fridays it runs from 12:30 PM to 2:00 AM.

Prices are approachable and clearly set. Expect an espresso around SAR 11, a flat white at SAR 14, a cappuccino at SAR 16, and a Spanish latte at SAR 18. Pour-over fans can order a V60 for SAR 17–20, and desserts range from SAR 9 to SAR 25.

Bonchai Café

Located in Al-Buhayrah on King Saud Road, Bonchai Café is a well-rounded choice for specialty coffee alongside breakfast, pastries, desserts, and cold drinks. It's a good pick if you want a full sit-down experience rather than just a quick cup.

Saturday to Wednesday: 7:00 AM – 1:00 AM
Thursday: 7:00 AM – 2:00 AM
Friday: 4:00 PM – 2:00 AM

Menu prices change over time, so check the current list when you visit.

Camel Step Coffee Roasters

Also in Al-Buhayrah, Camel Step Coffee Roasters is the spot for anyone who takes their beans seriously. It focuses on specialty coffee and desserts, with single-origin offerings from Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Colombia. Prices and timings aren't fixed here, so it's worth confirming before heading over.

Ghaihab Cafe

Sitting in the Aja district on King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Road, Ghaihab Cafe is an easy everyday destination. It's open daily until roughly midnight, making it convenient for an evening coffee run. As with several cafes in the city, the latest menu prices are best checked directly on arrival.

Coffee Planet

Over in Al-Muntazah Al-Gharbi, Coffee Planet blends coffee with a light food menu. A flat white runs about SAR 15, while a salted-caramel cortado is SAR 18. On the food side, try the cinnamon babka at SAR 15, Cinna Bites at SAR 22, or a chicken fajita wrap for SAR 24. Operating hours aren't listed, so plan to confirm before you go.
