Where We Are Going Today: ‘Amorino’ in Jeddah

  • Amorino offers three sizes — small, medium and classic — starting from SR23 ($6), allowing you to mix and match your favorite flavors, whether a fruity refreshment or rich, nutty delight

Amorino gelato has opened in Jeddah, bringing a taste of Italy to the heart of Saudi Arabia.

With hundreds of branches worldwide including in France, the US, Spain, Germany, England and Morocco, Amorino is known for its organic, natural gelato, crafted without artificial colors or flavors, and featuring a variety of plant-based options.

Amorino is famous for its stunning flower-shaped gelato, allowing customers to mix multiple flavors into one edible masterpiece. I opted for a refreshing combination of mango, strawberry, pistachio and orange, topped with a delicate macaron for an extra touch of indulgence.

The freshly baked cone, coated with chocolate and crushed almonds, added a delightful crunch, perfectly complementing the creamy gelato.

Amorino offers three sizes — small, medium and classic — starting from SR23 ($6), allowing you to mix and match your favorite flavors, whether a fruity refreshment or rich, nutty delight.

For those who enjoy coffee with a twist, Amorino offers the classic affogato — a scoop of vanilla, chocolate, or coffee gelato topped with a shot of freshly brewed espresso — creating the ultimate hot-and-cold treat.

Amorino’s menu also features a selection of delicious gelato cakes, including strawberry and raspberry, vanilla and hazelnut praline, and mango and passion fruit.

Eggless and vegan options are also available, as well as crepes, waffles, hot chocolate, fresh juices, and gelato macarons.

For special occasions, Amorino offers catering services with a beautifully designed gelato booth, which can add a unique flair to any event.

It is available on food delivery apps and located at U-Walk, Al-Zahra district.

Where We Are Going Today: Lady Finger Slow Bar in Riyadh

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.
