The shop’s aesthetic may be smooth stones and neutral colours, but the coffee makes it stand out. Go classic with a flat white. While you’re there, don’t forget to pick up the delicious tiramisu jar.

Y97 is a small, boho-inspired space that provides a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Using beans from Soil Roasters, this coffee shop has all the usual suspects: Americano, flat white, cappuccino, Spanish latte, as well as drip coffees. We suggest having the cortado; it’s perfect with a piece of their lemon cake.
Y97 Specialty Coffee, Prince Nasir Bin Saud Bin Farhan Al Saud Street, As Sahafah, RJ6V+5H, daily 4pm to 11pm, Tel: 050 441 8449. @y97cafe
