Where We Are Going Today: Wisdom Cafe

Wisdom Cafe, located in the Al-Quds neighborhood in Riyadh, is inspired by traditional Russian cafes.

Its interior is a sight to behold, with its decor immersing guests in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.

The intricate floral decorations and artwork create splashes of color that are not too overwhelming, bringing a special touch to the cafe’s overall black-and-white interior aesthetic.

One of the standout options on the cafe’s menu is its delectable honey cake, a must-try for dessert lovers in the city. The texture of the cake is moist and delicate, with layers of sponge cake and honey-infused cream.

Each bite melts in your mouth, leaving a lingering sweetness that is simply irresistible. The subtle flavors of honey blend perfectly with the creamy frosting, creating a harmonious balance of taste and texture.

The cafe also offers delectable and crunchy chocolate treats, as well as indulgent brownies, catering to those with a love for chocolate. 

The environment is warm and friendly for those looking to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 

Their beverage menu offers a range of hot and cold options to pair with your dessert. From traditional Russian teas to specialty coffee drinks, there is something for every palate.

The Raff Russian coffee is a favorite, with the option to add caramel for those with a sweet tooth. Vegan milk options such as coconut and almond are also available for those looking for dairy-free alternatives.

Whether you are a dessert connoisseur or a coffee enthusiast, Wisdom will delight your senses and leave you craving more.

The cafe is open from 7 a.m. to 12:30 a.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.
