Elixir Bunn

Elixir Bunn is a Saudi specialty coffee roaster and cafe in the An Nakheel district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It is part of the third-wave coffee scene that has grown quickly in the capital, in which local roasters source single-origin beans, roast in small batches and serve filter and espresso drinks alongside traditional Saudi preparations. The name is a play on bunn, the Arabic word for coffee beans, and the brand has built a following among Riyadh's younger coffee drinkers.

The menu is centred on specialty coffee. Drinks typically include espresso-based beverages, filter brews and seasonal specials, and many cafes of this type also offer pastries and light bites, though specific food items were not confirmed for this entry. Beans are sold for home brewing through the brand's website, elixirbunn.com. The cafe serves no alcohol, as is the case throughout Saudi Arabia.

The cafe is reported to be a late-night venue, with hours of Saturday to Wednesday 06:30–23:30 and Thursday and Friday 06:30–02:00. This reflects the Saudi habit of socialising late, especially at weekends, so the room is calm in the morning and lively after dark. The crowd is young and local, with students, professionals working on laptops and groups of friends meeting for the evening. The atmosphere is contemporary and informal, with moderate noise that rises on Thursday and Friday nights. Dress is casual and modest.

Prices are low, at about SAR 15–45 (roughly $4–12) per person, so a visit is an inexpensive stop. No reservation is needed and walk-ins are accepted, though the cafe can be telephoned on 92 001 3926. Visitors seeking the quietest time should come in the morning or early afternoon; those who want the social atmosphere should arrive in the evening. The An Nakheel location is reachable by taxi or ride-hailing from most central and northern hotels. Hours should be verified before visiting.
