The Good Stuff
24-Hour Opening
One review reports the branch is open 24 hours, useful for late-night coffee runs.
Work Friendly
Weekday visitors mention bringing a laptop, with shaded seating and a good area to work.
Drink Accuracy
The night team is praised for getting Spanish lattes and hot chocolate balanced rather than overly sweet.
Family Visits
A customer says the kids had fun, with tasty bites and a welcoming atmosphere.
Quick Service
Some visitors describe a warm welcome, quick service and careful order handling.
Tips for a Better Visit
Go Early. Try early morning if you prefer a quieter visit; one review specifically found it less crowded then.
Choose Outdoors. For the most scenic setting, ask for outdoor seating by the small lake, where reviews mention shade and trees.
Use Late Hours. The branch has been described as open 24 hours, so it may suit an unusually late coffee stop.
Check Custom Orders. If ordering less ice, check the drink size and fill level before leaving; a customer reported receiving a medium matcha in a large cup.
Confirm Rewards. If using a birthday reward or privilege discount, confirm the branch’s requirements before paying and keep the offer visible.

The Bottom Line
Starbucks in Al Khawaneej, at Last Exit, is more than a quick coffee counter for many regulars. You can order familiar drinks such as a latte, Spanish latte, white mocha or Toffeenut Latte, alongside breakfast and pastries. Halloumi toast, cakes and croissants also appear in customer recommendations.
The setting is the main draw. Reviews describe a lakefront outdoor area with greenery, shade and a serene water feature, while indoor seating works for quieter visits. Several customers use the branch to work or study, especially on weekdays, and one review describes it as enjoyable for children.
It has also been described as open 24 hours, making it useful beyond the usual café schedule. Service is not entirely consistent. Some customers report quick, welcoming visits, while others describe rude interactions, poor coffee, or a paid cake-and-cheese-croissant order taking more than 30 minutes.
Cleanliness has also been criticised, with cups and litter reportedly left on tables, and one recent review raised an air-conditioning problem. For a calmer experience, consider early morning or a weekday outdoor table. If customising a drink with less ice, check the size and fill before leaving, and confirm reward or discount requirements at the counter.
