The Italian icon arrives in Riyadh with a menu crafted by Michelin minds and a space that redefines café culture

There’s coffee—and then there’s Lavazza.
The iconic Italian brand, long celebrated for its espresso mastery and century-old legacy, has officially opened its most elevated concept yet: Lavazza Coffee Design, now serving in Solitaire Mall Riyadh. But this is no ordinary café launch—it’s a statement of intent. A collision of heritage, innovation, and gastronomic artistry that positions Riyadh as one of Lavazza’s most refined international markets to date.
The arrival is more than timely. As the Kingdom continues to embrace a cosmopolitan rhythm—where mornings begin with matcha lattes and meetings unfold over cortados—Lavazza Coffee Design presents a new standard in what a coffee destination can be: immersive, intentional, and unmistakably elevated.
An Italian Legacy, Reimagined for Riyadh
Founded in 1895 in Turin, Lavazza has grown from a humble family roastery into one of the world’s most respected coffee houses. Its reputation has always been built on quality—but in recent years, it has pushed further into the realms of culinary innovation, design, and fine hospitality.
Now, with the launch of its Coffee Design concept in Solitaire Mall, Lavazza enters a new era—one that merges its classic espresso DNA with high-concept café culture, developed in collaboration with Michelin-starred chefs and world-renowned gastronomes.
The result? A menu that feels more like a tasting journey than a casual stop. Think espresso-infused tiramisu spheres, cold brew caviar, and smoked signature drinks served in glassware worthy of fine dining. The flavors are bold. The techniques are cutting-edge. The experience is seamless.
Design That Matches the Palate
Much like the coffee, the interior architecture of Lavazza Coffee Design speaks a quiet, confident luxury. Located on the first floor of Solitaire Mall—Riyadh’s newest home for curated fashion and lifestyle—the space is all soft marble, sculpted seating, warm brass, and immersive lighting.
It’s not just a place to drink coffee—it’s a place to linger, to work, to gather, and to be seen. A backdrop for fashion insiders, business creatives, and weekend wanderers who expect their environment to match their taste.
Even the scent profile of the café—curated with Lavazza’s signature roast blends—invites guests into a world where aroma is part of the aesthetic. It’s luxury in layers: sight, taste, scent, and sound, composed like a symphony.
Riyadh’s Café Culture, Refined
Saudi Arabia’s love for coffee is rooted in tradition—but its appetite for innovation is rapidly growing. In Riyadh, where third-wave cafés have redefined the social map of the city, Lavazza Coffee Design stands apart by offering something rare: an intersection of artisanal quality and high-design ambiance. It’s not here to compete with your neighborhood espresso bar—it’s here to reframe your expectations.
With its curated menu, immersive concept, and unmistakable Italian polish, Lavazza’s Solitaire Mall flagship cements Riyadh’s place on the global map of luxury café destinations. This is where heritage meets haute. Where espresso isn’t ordered—it’s experienced.
Now Pouring
Lavazza Coffee Design is now open in Solitaire Mall, Riyadh. Table service, takeaway, and curated private tastings available. Whether you’re ordering a classic espresso or a culinary-level coffee dessert, you’re not just getting a cup—you’re getting the Lavazza signature.
Because in this city, even your coffee deserves a little couture.
