The Good Stuff
Drive-through
A useful AUH-bound stop, with one reviewer calling it the best drive-through coffee on the way to Abu Dhabi.
Road-trip food
The potato sandwich was reported as fresh and flavorful alongside coffee that suited the drive.
Drink range
Reviews specifically praise the pistachio latte, hot chocolate and matcha ice cream.
Outdoor setting
The branch has an aesthetic exterior and outdoor seating that reviewers enjoyed in cooler winter weather.
Fast service
Several visits were described as quick, including a drink prepared quickly during a busy stop.
Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid peaks. Visit outside the busiest periods if possible: one packed late-night queue had only one employee serving the truck.
Online orders. Allow extra time even when ordering online; one customer still experienced a delay before receiving the order.
Try hot chocolate. If you want a non-coffee drink, the hot chocolate was described as rich, smooth and comforting.
Request remakes. If a drink misses the mark, ask whether it can be remade; one Spanish latte was replaced and the second was reported as perfect.
Winter seating. Outdoor seating is more comfortable in cooler weather; a reviewer specifically enjoyed the area during winter.

The Bottom Line
% ARABICA LAST EXIT (AUH BOUND) is a convenient coffee stop in Hessyan 2 for drivers heading towards Abu Dhabi. You can use the drive-through, pick up a brewed coffee for the road, or stop for something more substantial such as the potato sandwich, which one reviewer found fresh and flavorful. The coffee is often described as smooth and perfectly brewed.
There is more than just standard coffee on the menu. Customers mention the pistachio latte, hot chocolate, matcha ice cream, coffee ice cream and San Sebastián dessert. The hot chocolate was praised as rich and comforting, while the pistachio latte was described as consistently good.
The exterior and outdoor seating also give the stop more character than a purely functional fuel break, though winter weather appears to make sitting outside more pleasant. Timing matters. A late-night visit found the queue packed with one employee working the truck, and even an online order took time.
Another customer waited nearly half an hour, so do not assume ordering online guarantees a quick handover. Reviews also include an older complaint about drinks tasting poor and a coffee feeling expensive for its serving size. Overall, it suits a quick road break when the queue is moving, with coffee quality and friendly service usually doing the heavy lifting.
