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: 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.
