Infuse
One of the newest drive-thru cafés in Riyadh, Infuse recently opened it’s slope this September.

While a drive-thru at heart, the small space also offers an outdoor seating area fitting no more than three to four tables and a small indoor area to work or relax with a cold brew.

Key Café
Of the many drive-thru cafés in Riyadh, this is one that delivers hot dogs and coffee.
