The Good Stuff
Indoor Outdoors
You can choose between indoor comfort and outdoor seating, including an outdoor area with a view and morning breeze.
Study Friendly
Customers use it for studying, working and late-night conversations, with reviews describing the café as quiet and cozy.
Flexible Food
The team has been willing to amend recipes when requested, and one chef checked how a shakshuka customer wanted the eggs cooked.
Matcha Drinks
The matcha range gets specific praise, including a coconut strawberry matcha and a well-liked matcha drink.
All-Day Breakfast
All-day breakfast is a practical option for visitors who want more than coffee, with reviews calling the food good value.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Charges. Ask whether your chosen roast carries an extra fee before paying; a July 2025 review reported a 4 dhs medium-roast surcharge.
Visit Off-Peak. For a better chance of finding a table, avoid the busiest laptop-and-meeting periods; an April 2024 review found every table occupied.
Confirm Milk. If you need non-dairy milk, repeat the request and check the drink before leaving, since one review reported it was missed repeatedly.
Allow Time. If you are on a schedule, allow extra preparation time or ask for an estimate; one February 2026 order took 42 minutes.
Request Adjustments. Mention dietary or recipe preferences when ordering, as a March 2026 review says the team is willing to amend recipes.

The Bottom Line
Coffee Planet - Villanova is a useful local stop in Arabian Ranches for coffee, matcha and a relaxed meal. Reviews specifically mention the Spanish latte, coconut strawberry matcha, shakshuka and all-day breakfast, so there is more here than a quick takeaway cup. The coffee is often described as rich and well prepared, while the matcha drinks attract their own following.
The setting is cozy and flexible, with indoor and outdoor seating. It suits a quiet coffee, a chat with friends or a study session, and Wi-Fi is mentioned in an older review. The outdoor area has a view and a breeze, although seating can become difficult when laptop users occupy tables for long stretches.
Some customers have also found the tables too unstable for writing or working. Service is usually the standout: reviews describe friendly, quick and accommodating staff, including willingness to adjust recipes. Still, order accuracy has not been perfect, particularly for non-dairy milk and customised cappuccinos.
Preparation times can vary sharply, with one order taking 42 minutes. If you choose a medium roast, ask about any surcharge before paying; one customer reported an undisclosed extra 4 dhs. For a quieter visit, arriving outside busy study and meeting periods may be the safer bet.
