Bakermeem is a family-run business founded by a group of sisters. It offers an array of sweet treats including trifles, cookies, French-style macarons, meringue candy, chocolate blocks, petit fours and more. The brand also serves up delicious pastries and savories that can be enjoyed with a coffee, including focaccia, brioche, baguette, sandwiches, and scones.
One interesting flavor is the caramel fudge macaron or ‘halawa baqara,’ which has the taste of traditional Saudi candy. There are also refreshing and tropical desserts. Bakermeem has trifles with vacation vibes such as pina colada, passion fruit, mango, strawberry lemonade, lavender and rose pistachio.
The treats are ideal for picnics and beach trips as they come in boxes or individual jars, while there are also thirst-quenching cold beverages. The bakery offers delivery and catering services for parties and gatherings. Products are also distributed to cafes and restaurants.

Where We Are Going Today: Lady Finger Slow Bar in Riyadh
RIYADH: A comfortable little spot in Al-Mutamarat, Lady Finger Slow Bar has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots in Riyadh.
The interior is calm and decorated with a maroon, beige, black and white palette with little pops of color here and there.
The space is open and bright without being too harsh, and the outdoor seating underneath the columns is perfect cozy hangout space in the winter.
Their coffee is, of course, fantastic, whether you get black, V60, Americano, or any milk variation — my personal favorite is the flat white because the espresso to milk ratio is just ideal.
Coconut and almond alternative milk options are also available, in addition to lactose-free, low-fat and full fat.
I would also recommend trying the coffee of the day, a daily rotation of different beans for those who love to test out new coffee flavors.
Lady Finger is also definitely famous for their desserts, with people constantly grabbing a cup of tiramisu, Oreo pudding, or banana pudding from their fridge all day as they are coming and going. The banana pudding is a crowd favorite; it is creamy with a balanced sweetness that makes it delicious.
During the day, the cafe also serves a breakfast menu complete with a selection of classic sandwiches, eggs and pancakes, or brioche for a sweet breakfast option.
I have to say the turkey sandwich is just OK; the fillings and the bread were great but I would have liked a different sauce that was less citrusy.
The eggs with sourdough, pancakes, and club sandwich are all solid choices for your breakfast or mid-day meal — and the tuna sandwich is taking up space in my mind so I have to try it the next time I go.
Overall, Lady Finger is a wonderful place to relax, catch up with some friends, and get some work done while enjoying a great cup of coffee and maybe a little something sweet one the side.
I also have to give it to the servers at this spot. They are very friendly and accommodating, and they only enhance the welcoming and comfortable vibe inside the cafe.
Take advantage of this beautiful weather we have been having and grab a seat outside with a cup of hot chocolate topped with mini marshmallows, and decadent chocolate sauce to really feel the warmth of the season.
