At a glance
A Saudi-born specialty coffee brand that started in Taif and expanded to Makkah. Pulse (بولس) takes their coffee seriously — expect proper V60 pour-overs, well-extracted espresso, and beans sourced from Ethiopia and Colombia.
What to order
V60 Pour-Over — their signature offering. Clean, bright, and carefully prepared.
Spanish Latte — consistently praised by reviewers, hot or iced.
Cold Brew — smooth and strong, made from premium beans.
Rich Cake — their house cake, often paired with V60 in combo deals.
Eggs Benedict — surprisingly good for a coffee shop. A solid breakfast option.
Our take
Not near the Haram — both branches are in suburban residential areas (Al Hamra/Umm Al Jud and Al Shara'i). But if you're staying outside the central zone or have a car, Pulse is one of the better specialty coffee options in Makkah. The quality is consistent and the staff are professional.
