Ramadan is a time of reflection, community, and deep-rooted traditions. Among these traditions, coffee holds a special place, playing a significant role in gatherings, Iftar feasts, and late-night Suhoor moments. At Arabica Coffee, we embrace the cultural significance of coffee during Ramadan, offering the finest brews to complement this sacred time.
As fasting rhythms change daily habits, so does coffee consumption. Here’s how coffee culture evolves in Riyadh during Ramadan and how Arabica Coffee fits seamlessly into these cherished moments.
Coffee at Iftar: A Perfect Start to the Evening
After a long day of fasting, breaking the fast with dates and water is a timeless tradition. But shortly after, coffee becomes an essential part of the Iftar table. Many prefer a strong, aromatic coffee like Turkish coffee or Arabic coffee, which helps in digestion and re-energizes the body.
At Arabica Cafe, our signature Turkish coffee and specialty Arabica blends provide a perfect balance of richness and smoothness, making them ideal for Iftar gatherings. Whether enjoyed alone or paired with Hasawi Cookies or Ma’amoul, our coffee adds warmth to your Ramadan evenings.
Late-Night Coffee Rituals: Suhoor and Social Gatherings
Ramadan nights in Riyadh come alive with family gatherings, social visits, and peaceful Suhoor moments. Many people turn to lighter yet flavorful coffees that provide a gentle boost without disrupting sleep.
Some of the best Arabica Cafe choices for Suhoor include:
- Flat White & Cortado: Smooth, balanced, and easy on the stomach.
- Macchiato & Italian Coffee: Strong but refined, offering just the right amount of energy.
- French Coffee & Steam Tea: A milder alternative for those who enjoy a lighter, aromatic drink.
Whether you’re enjoying a quiet Suhoor at home or spending time at one of our 37+ branches across Riyadh, Jizan, and Al Kharj, Arabica Coffee is here to enhance the experience.
Ramadan Coffee Pairings: A Taste of Tradition
Pairing the right coffee with Ramadan desserts and snacks enhances the overall experience. At Arabica Cafe, we offer delicious pairings that bring out the best flavors:
- Turkish Coffee + Hasawi Cookies—a classic, rich combination.
- Flat White + Ma’amoul Cookies: Smooth coffee with a soft, date-filled delight.

The Rise of Takeaway and Pickup Coffee During Ramadan
