We found the most interesting teas and coffees to motivate you to get dressed and out the door.

• Acoustic Tea Lounge (Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Road, Khobar)

Rose Latte

It’s hard to get anything rose-flavored right, but Acoustic has done it. A medley of white chocolate, espresso and rose, this latte is flawless. Paired with their remarkable taste in art and classical music, this is the perfect ambience to kick off a relaxing weekend.

• Caffe Bene (Mall of Dhahran, Gate 10)

Chocolate Chip Espresso

With its woodsy décor, ample sunlight, vines on the walls and cyan cushions, Caffe Bene is a cafe in a makeshift forest. We ordered the Chocolate Chip Espresso; an extra cold, creamy and chocolatey concoction with a shot of espresso. If you need a strong dose of chocolate and coffee to kickstart a slow morning, this drink will definitely do the trick.

• Jar Bakery (Hafith Ibrahim St, Khobar)

Oreo Frappe

Can you believe this even exists? Coffee, chocolate, whipped cream and a handful of crushed Oreos. There’s hardly anything left to say except: Go and have one right now!

• French Bakery (King Faisal Road, Khobar)

Iced Blended Coffee

This coffee is as unpretentious as its name: a shot of espresso, cold dolce latte, caramel sauce and a generous topping of whipped cream, there’s no denying that French Bakery knows how to do its coffee.

• Pappa Roti (Mall of Dhahran, Dhahran)

Milk Tea

Pappa Roti’s Milk Tea is the only way to do tea. The tea is just perfect in terms of strength – not too strong and not too watery. Sweet, milky and paired with their signature bun, Pappa Roti’s milk tea is delight in a cup.

• Desert Designs (Custodian of The Two Holy Mosques Road, Khobar)

Nirvana

And Nirvana it was! This is the drink to get addicted to this winter, with the loveliest hints of cardamom, cloves and cinnamon. Nirvana is warm, soothing and oh so delicious. Meanwhile, you’re surrounded with the most art and culture you can get in any one place in the entire Eastern Province.

• Caribou Coffee (City Center, Bahrain)

Campfire Mocha

This! This was the stuff of dreams. Basically a shot of espresso with steamed milk, this coffee is made extra beautiful with melted chocolate and roasted marshmallow syrup. There’s no way it could have gone wrong. Topped with a generous amount of whipped cream, chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, the Campfire Mocha is highly addictive and absolutely delicious.
