The trendy baristas of the Western hemisphere have arrived in Mecca, and Abak, with its quirky branding and hipster interior, is leading the way. Popular with middle-class Saudi youths, who can be seen sitting inside on most weeknights staring at their laptops and cradling a hot cup, this is a welcome, local alternative to the big American brands.
The distinct signage outside is only in Arabic, but you'll know it from the cool branded wood look.
