Waffle & Coffee

Northern Saudi Arabia


If you happen to find yourself in Haql, then this is probably the only spot in town where you'll be able to get coffee the way you like it. In fact it's a pleasant enough spot that you might also want to try the freshly made waffles – they're not bad. There's also a family section for women. It's located opposite the Haql General Hospital.
