Draft Café began in 2017 with a simple but ambitious goal: to create a space where people could study, hold meetings, or relax with a good book. More than just a coffee shop, Draft is a space where ideas come to life, be it drafting a business plan, a creative project, or finding a place to socialize and dream big. 

Founded by Wadha Alrashid, a Saudi entrepreneur and interior architect, Draft is proudly local and deeply connected to Riyadh’s evolving landscape. As Saudi Arabia has embraced change and growth, Draft has evolved alongside it, offering spaces for community meetups, book clubs, business workshops, and celebrations. 

We’ve observed a rising demand for flexible spaces that foster collaboration, creativity, and connection, and we’re now responding by expanding our offerings to meet these needs.

Beyond our physical locations, we’ve introduced delivery services, a coffee truck, and customizable catering to bring the Draft experience directly to our customers throughout Riyadh. Our commitment to agility ensures we remain part of the Kingdom’s transformation, offering services that resonate with its vibrant, dynamic population.

More than just coffee, Draft is a place that nurtures relationships within creative and business communities and an environment committed to shaping the cultural fabric of a city that never stops evolving.
