Where We Are Going Today: ‘Dazzling Cafe’ in Dammam
  • Dazzling Cafe is a gem for dessert and coffee lovers alike, blending local craftsmanship with a chic setting

Nestled within vibrant Al-Nakheel Mall in Dammam, Dazzling Cafe is a sleek and stylish spot that has earned its reputation for delivering both aesthetic and flavorful experiences. The cafe boasts a warm ambiance with modern decor, making it an inviting place to enjoy handcrafted desserts and exceptional coffee.

What sets Dazzling Cafe apart is its dedication to offering locally made desserts. Each treat is prepared with care, from the rich tiramisu to the creamy cheesecake, showcasing flavors that feel both indulgent and authentic. The molten lava cake served piping hot in a skillet is a must-try for chocolate lovers, and the attention to detail in presentation elevates the experience.

Complementing the desserts is their exceptional coffee selection. The V60 pour-over coffee is a top choice for many, especially when made with their Costa Rican beans, which offer a smooth, vibrant flavor profile that pairs beautifully with their sweets. Whether you are a coffee enthusiast or simply someone who enjoys a good cup, their dedication to quality will impress.

However, the cafe does have one downside, as it is always crowded. Located in a busy mall, finding a table can be a challenge, especially during peak hours. Patience is key, but it is worth it once you settle in and savor the flavors.

Dazzling Cafe is a gem for dessert and coffee lovers alike, blending local craftsmanship with a chic setting. For the best experience, try visiting during quieter times to fully enjoy its charm.

  • The cafe is simple and spacious, and the decor is impressive with a calming, earthy palette

Foam, located on the north side of Riyadh in the Smaa Gallery, is an elegant cafe offering premium coffee and sweets. 

The cafe is simple and spacious, and the decor is impressive with a calming, earthy palette.

It does not have Wi-Fi, making it the perfect spot to disconnect from the world and instead bond with friends and family, read a book or journal. 

I tried the V60 coffee and the Creme Brulee French toast. The coffee was high-quality, bitter to just the right degree, and the bread, toasted to perfection, contrasted deliciously with the soft richness of the cream.

Although the interior was beautifully designed, the coffee tasty, and the overall ambiance relaxing, I would have appreciated having the option to use Wi-Fi.

Despite this, Foam is still easily among the coffee shops that I would return to.
