What do recent reviews say?

Space Grey Cafe draws steady crowds for its espresso and inventive Japanese desserts, especially the matcha-filled daifuku and matcha chocolate cookie. The dark, modern interior tucked upstairs in a florist shop creates buzz on social media. Service is warm and patient, though the modest menu and small seating capacity mean booking ahead helps. Food quality swings: coffee and sweets earn consistent praise, but ramen portions (soup especially) and katsudon flavors disappoint some. No wifi and tight parking deter remote workers despite the chill vibe.

Most repeat visitors come for dessert and drinks rather than mains. The matcha cookie bakes fresh to order (expect 15 minutes). Daifuku prices run 12-RM riyal per order and feel steep to some, though fans say the quality justifies it. Space is tight and can smell of fried food. Staff handle special requests politely but note kitchen constraints (soup portions are fixed, for instance).

  • specialty coffee quality
  • matcha daifuku and Japanese-inspired desserts

  • friendly staff
  • chill atmosphere for groups and dates
Watch-outs

FAQ

Is it hard to find?
Yes. The cafe is upstairs inside a florist shop on SS 2, so it's easy to miss. Several reviewers describe it as hidden. The florist storefront may not appear active.
Do I need to book?
Booking is recommended. Seating is limited and the cafe fills up, especially on weekdays.
Can I work here on my laptop?
Not reliably. There is no wifi, and 5G signal is weak. The space is also small and tight, so it is better suited for casual socializing than working.
