If you consider yourself a coffee connoisseur in the UAE, you’ve probably come across Saddle café. This homegrown spot has quickly become one of the UAE’s favourites with over ten branches across the country.
Now Saddle café is opening its first ever dine-in spot at Marsa Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi. Ready to get caffeinated?
The stand-alone glass house building has views of the ocean and marina with indoor and outdoor seating to take it all in.
Saddle Café has come a long way from when it first opened its doors. It started as a grab-and-go food truck stop that had just one location in Al Qudra, and has evolved into a brand that eventually represented the UAE at Expo 2020 Dubai. Now you can kick back at the new Saddle Café at Marsa Al Bateen.

Be sure to leave room for dessert with options such as pistachio cheesecake, crème brule and French toast.
Saddle has finally set its roots down in Abu Dhabi. Get ready for a caffeine buzz.
