Headed Destination Today: Alkhobar's Llama Coffee House
Llama Cafe, a homegrown brand originating from Dammam, has expanded across the Eastern Province and opened a second branch in Alkhobar last year. This vibrant cafe offers a menu focused on fresh, colorful, and thoughtfully prepared dishes with an emphasis on quality and presentation.
The ambiance of Llama Cafe is bright and welcoming, characterized by huge windows that let in natural sunlight, creating an airy and minimalistic environment. The design avoids gimmickiness associated with its playful name and instead maintains a polished and playful vibe, reflecting a refined homegrown brand.
One of the standout dishes at Llama Cafe is the SR25 Sahara chicken mirage salad. This vibrant mix of chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, greens, corn, and toasted nuts comes with a light dressing you drizzle yourself, creating a perfect balance of flavors. For drinks, the Llama iced tea, featuring a refreshing hibiscus blend, is served in a charming reusable cup.
For dessert, the Madrid cheesecake (SR19) is notable for its golden caramelized top and well-balanced buttery crust. The Speckled vanilla bean-infused dessert is another delight, offering a creamy, rich experience worth trying.
Llama Cafe also showcases a commitment to sustainability. Many food items are served in compostable containers, and durable, reusable drink cups are used, encouraging customers to keep and reuse them. The interior features a to-go fridge at the entrance for quick grab-and-go options like sandwiches and salads.
The second floor of Llama Cafe has small tables ideal for working, with wall plugs available. The restrooms on this floor are tiny but spotless. A unique feature is the cylinder aquarium by the pickup station that contains a real fish. The main floor offers plenty of seating, including some outdoor seating, although no information about smoking or tanning on the outdoor seating was provided.
Llama Cafe in Alkhobar stands out among local cafes with its combination of fresh, carefully crafted food, eco-conscious packaging, and a bright, sunlit ambiance. The V60 drip coffee (SR20) with Guatemalan beans is available for coffee lovers seeking a quality brew.
