The Good Stuff
Açaí Smoothie
The açaí smoothie is one of the most repeatedly praised orders, with several customers returning specifically for it.
Sweet Crepe
The Kinder crêpe is singled out as a sweet, indulgent order that was well prepared.
Coffee Quality
One drive-through customer found the double espresso rich, perfectly pulled and served quickly.
Relaxed Setting
Reviews describe the atmosphere as peaceful, warm and relaxing, which suits a slower coffee stop.
Accessibility
An older review notes wheelchair accessibility, as well as outdoor seating and drive-through service.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Orders. Repeat customisations at handover and check the dish before leaving; one customer received the wrong avocado toast order three times.
Specify Thickness. If ordering an açaí smoothie, ask about the thickness first; reviews say the standard version can be very liquid.
Clarify Temperature. When ordering coffee, specify hot or cold, and ask about ingredients such as spice in brioche items.
Mind Parking. If you stop near the ordering line, park first and make sure the parking position is understood before placing the order.
Avoid Heat. During hot weather, ordering from the kiosk window may be more comfortable than having staff take the order outside.
Flag Allergies. If you have a peanut allergy, repeat it at ordering and verify the finished item, since one regular reported peanut butter being added anyway.

The Bottom Line
Saddle Cafe at Last Exit Al Khawaneej works well for a coffee stop with something more substantial or sweet. Customers come through for the açaí smoothie, açaí bowls, crepes and all-day breakfast; the Kinder crêpe, avocado toast and shakshuka croissant all appear in reviews. The drive-through is a useful option, and one customer reported a fast double espresso in a neat, clean setup.
The experience is often warm and relaxed, with repeated praise for friendly, attentive service and a peaceful atmosphere. It suits a quick takeaway as much as a catch-up, with outdoor seating mentioned in an earlier review. Wheelchair accessibility was also noted.
There are some practical caveats. Pricing is a sticking point: customers have reported AED 42 for an açaí smoothie, AED 43 for coffee, AED 41 for oat milk matcha and AED 6 for extra cheese. Consistency also needs attention.
Reviews mention watery smoothies, avocado toast arriving cold or burnt, and repeated order mistakes. If you have an allergy or specific modification, repeat it clearly and check the order before leaving. It is also worth clarifying coffee temperature and any spicy ingredients before paying.
