Your Go-To Guide to Riyadh’s Best Karak Tea

If your day doesn’t officially start until you get your Karak fix, this guide is basically your new best friend. Here’s where to get the kind of Karak tea cup you’ll think about all day in Riyadh.

1. Karak Gholam

Starting strong with a true Riyadh classic. Karak Gholam is that breakfast spot you always end up at without planning. Grab your cup of creamy Karak and pair it with their addictive sandwiches — labneh, eggs & cheese, falafel, or halloumi. Simple, messy, and exactly what you need at 8 AM.

2. Golden Karak

Golden Karak in Riyadh doesn’t play around. Their tea? Bold and rich. Their menu? Chaos in the best way — pizza, desserts, fresh bakery, and more. Come for the Karak, stay because you suddenly ordered half the menu.

3. 70s Café

If retro vibes had a scent, it would be Karak from 70s Café. Patterned walls, throwback décor, and a cup of tea that tastes like comfort. Perfect for anyone craving nostalgia and good tea in one hit.

4. Almassa Café

Warm cup, cozy vibes, zero overthinking. Almassa serves Karak that feels like a hug, alongside a huge drink menu if you’re coming with indecisive friends.

5. Shawarma House

Plot twist: a shawarma spot serving one of the most underrated Karaks in town. Order the breakfast box and thank us later.

6. Teafe

For tea lovers who love experimenting. Think za’atar tea, caramel tea, hot-chocolate tea, and an iced Karak that hits especially hard.

7. Potter Tea

Minimalist cups, winter energy, and Karak served in pottery that makes everything taste deeper and warmer. Their hot chocolate also deserves its own fanbase.
