The Good Stuff
Breakfast Platter
One breakfast platter arrived fresh and balanced, with eggs, crispy hash browns, turkey, chicken sausages, salad and warm bread.
Work Friendly
The calm setting works for getting work done, meeting for a chat or having a quiet coffee.
Low-Sugar Muffins
The muffins are noted for being delicious and low in sugar, which is unusual among coffee shops according to one reviewer.
Coffee Perks
A review mentions an Americano promotion with unlimited hot or iced refills, plus a physical loyalty card that rewards seven stamps with a free coffee.
Tips for a Better Visit
Allow Time. If you are in a hurry, ask about kitchen timing before ordering; one breakfast visit took more than an hour.
Check Hours. Confirm the closing time directly before travelling late, since one customer found coffee service closed despite the website timing.
Use Mall WiFi. Bring a backup connection or use the mall’s WiFi, as one visitor found both café networks unusable.
Ask Promotions. Ask whether the Americano refill promotion is still running; a review described unlimited hot or iced refills.
Confirm Presentation. If ordering the Breakfast Tower, ask how it will be served, as one guest received trays rather than the menu’s pictured tower.

The Bottom Line
Icons Coffee is a coffee shop in Umm Hurair, located in Wafi Mall opposite Carrefour. Reviews make it appealing for a quiet coffee, breakfast or informal catch-up: people mention good coffee, a calm setting, and space to work. The menu has both lighter choices and indulgent treats, including a breakfast platter and the Grass-Fed Beef Burger.
Breakfast is a real draw when the kitchen is on form. One visitor described the platter as fresh and balanced, while others enjoyed the Classic Caesar Salad, granola and low-sugar muffins. Desserts get attention too: the triple chocolate cake and pistachio chocolate mousse were singled out.
Indoor and outdoor seating are mentioned, and families have received a warm welcome. Service is often described as friendly and attentive, but the experience is not fully consistent. Reviews also report stale or cold breakfast components, a hard salmon croissant, a drink containing plastic, and waits ranging from 36 minutes to more than an hour.
If you are in a hurry, ask about preparation time before ordering. Check closing hours directly rather than relying on the website, and note that the café’s WiFi did not work for one visitor. A reported Americano unlimited-refill promotion and a physical loyalty card with a free coffee after seven stamps may be worth asking about, though promotions can change.
