Is Ralph Lauren Café Set to Open in Riyadh?

Another industry icon has announced plans to open a new café in not one, but two cities where coffee culture is deeply ingrained in daily life. A Ralph Lauren café is on the horizon for Riyadh soon.

The concept originated in New York, with the inaugural café debuting in the brand's flagship store on 5th Avenue. With 23 cafés and trucks spanning the globe, from Washington D.C and Miami to London, Tokyo, and Doha, Qatar, this announcement brings a wave of excitement to the region.

Located in the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), this café will join the ranks of new openings like Mr. Chow, Amazonico, and Le Serre.

The café exudes a timeless preppy-Americana ambiance, serving a delectable house-blend coffee and specialty desserts. Ralph Lauren’s signature custom china, featuring a nostalgic shade of green, adds a touch of classic charm.

While an exact opening date is not yet confirmed, reports indicate that the café will be serving soon, with its Dubai branch to follow shortly after. However, according to reports from Women's Wear Daily, Ralph Lauren has been making donations to Israel, and this has stirred controversy on social media due to its perceived pro-Israel stance.
