Shakuna Desserts

It's great to see entrepreneurial spirit alive in Saudis youth, and 15 year old Reem Bawazeer seems to epitomize this. The founder of Shakuna Deserts spoke to us recently about her latest home delivery/bakery startup which started rolling out cupcakes and cookies last Ramadan. Jeddah Food.com asked her about her inspiration for starting this new venture, and why the focus on cupcakes: "I wanted to create a business that sold desserts that were fresh, homemade and most of all high quality.I also wanted to make desserts that were made from the freshest ingredients and could be yours at the time you ...

Deera Cafe

Deera Cafe is not something you come across everyday in Jeddah.This newly opened local startup has taken traditional Arabian coffee and hospitality into the twenty-first Century. With atmosphere and setting to rival big names in the Coffee Market like Starbucks and Costa, Deera’s edge is their local flavour in a modern setting. While the drinks and sweets may be local (more on these later), the seating certainly is not, so no sitting on the floor! But the designers of the cafe have managed to evoke a sense of traditional Arabia through the decor, and it is these minor touches that make ...

Jeddah Food.com Magazine

Should Jeddahfood.com launch a magazine, we have been asked by many why we dont launch a publication, and while we arent ruling it out currently, we also dont believe in printing things just for the fun of it. Paper means trees after all! But we want your opinion, after all Jeddahfood.com is about the collective opinion, not just one persons view. So please be so kind as to answer the questions set out in the poll below! All the Best - Jeddahfood.com Team [polldaddy poll="1685971"]

Lost City

Lost City is a local place with unique decoration, fun for families and girls’ gatherings. Though I wish they’d have a non smoking area, almost everyone seems to love the atmosphere. I like the round tables they have which are more convenient than the other tables.

Charcoal

The first thing you notice when you walk into charcoal is the overwhelming use of colours, orange and black are plastered over everything from the walls to the cashiers. Tiled floors match the tables, burger packaging, pretty much everything.
