Where We Are Going Today: Wallflower by Le Cafe in Alkhobar, Saudi Arabia

Wallflower by Le Cafe, located in Villaggio Restaurant Village in Alkhobar, is a great place to have hearty brunch on a Friday.

It is one of the few eateries in the area open from 8:00 a.m. until half past midnight on that day.

On our recent visit, we tried their Santa Fe chicken salad, which was layered with plenty of fresh, crunchy ingredients. It was so filling, we had to take the rest of it home to enjoy later. It cost SR67 ($17).

We washed it down with a tangy and sweet passion fruit mojito for SR29.

To end, we tried their carrot cake, which the waiter assured us was their best seller, and indeed, there was only one slice left in the cake display area.

For SR37, we had a fluffy yet decadent slice that satisfied our craving for a dessert that wasn’t too sweet.

The location can’t be beat, with outdoor seating overlooking the dancing fountain from the ground floor. On the top floor, you can enjoy the breeze and view along with your meal. They also have plenty of indoor seating that is ideal for solo diners or groups.

They offer a wide variety of menu items, from breakfast foods and lunch options to specialty drinks and a whole array of cakes and desserts.

They open from 8 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. on Saturdays. On weekdays, they are open from 8 a.m. until noon and, after a siesta, from 4 p.m. until 11:30 p.m.

Where We Are Going Today: Randy’s Donuts in Jeddah

  • Randy’s Donuts is fairly priced compared to other specialty dessert outlets in Jeddah

Randy’s Donuts in Jeddah brings one of the most recognizable American donut brands to the city, with locations in the Al-Mohammadiyyah district and on Prince Sultan road.

The Al-Mohammadiyyah branch is spacious and designed for both casual dining and takeaway. Upon entering, the aroma of freshly made donuts and coffee fills the air.

One wall features a large poster highlighting the brand’s California heritage and the original Randy’s Donuts location alongside images of well-known American figures associated with the site over the years, including Snoop Dogg. The rest of the space remains intentionally simple.

Randy’s Donuts is fairly priced compared to other specialty dessert outlets in Jeddah. Individual donuts generally range from SR9 ($2.40) to SR14 for classic and specialty varieties, with premium options priced slightly higher.

During my visit, I tried the apple fritter, which offered a crisp exterior, a chewy texture, and rich notes of apple and cinnamon.

The creme brulee donut from the premium selection featured a caramelized crust with a custard filling, providing a richer alternative to standard glazed donuts.

The Long John stood out for its soft, light, chewy dough and thick chocolate glaze, delivering a classic American-style donut experience.

The donuts are noticeably larger than average, making them suitable for sharing and offering good value for their size.

In addition to Jeddah, the brand has expanded into Riyadh, with locations at Boulevard Riyadh City and other districts. Randy’s Donuts is also available on major delivery platforms, including Keeta.
