I love supporting local products and the local owner, which adds quality to my mind and money to my pocket
Therefore, I do not support all Saudi products and what is marketed for them with “made with love” and “we are poor young Saudis!”.. Do not blackmail me emotionally or nationally.
Deal maturely with your customer and whoever you expect will be your customer!
Take care of the quality of what you offer and at a reasonable price. Do not expect me to pay 60 Saudi riyals for a burger that was prepared in a cart.
Or 40 riyals for a cup of coffee just because your heart is full of love when you prepare my order and carry the green passport.
1/2 Million Cafe was received with rejection and a preconception that turned out to be wrong. I did not change because of its spread and the advertisements. Jolly Chic and Nothing Influenced me until this date: September 15, 2024. I did not ask for them and I do not intend to.
The reason for my change in my opinion about the Saudi café is my personal experience that I had to have while on my way to the Saudi Cup tournament
When I tasted his coffee, I enjoyed it. Since that day, I don't mind having it on my favorite café list. Its price is reasonable and close to the prices at which we buy coffee around the world, but this is not the reason alone
Half Million has combined quality and price, and this is rare in our local restaurants, except for Al Baik Restaurant.
A long time passed since I repeated my experience with Half Million until I needed a place to study continuously, and it was my choice because of: the joy and flat white with coconut milk( i am on diet).
For a change, I went to the friendly neighbor: Starbucks and ordered the same drink
Its bad taste is still in my mouth despite my love for its decor and flat white coffee with regular milk.
Half Million agreed with my taste in coffee, but what was served with it was not palatable.
These days we celebrate Saudi National Day 94.
Because it is the Saudi brand that has become of high value in the conscience of the Saudi people, there is double the crowd on normal days to buy a cup.
A mug with an ugly design, but a high value for half a million, so he beautified this mug by dyeing it green only. This is what was required of him to make the Saudi consumer stand in a queue that extends to the parking lots for: the not-so-beautiful mug!
We are very happy with this spread and care for quality and for it to be a place of consumer trust wherever it is and a preferred destination, even if it is on a London street or next to the (formerly) beloved of millions, Starbucks.
