Where We Are Going Today: Pop Tayer in Jeddah

Pop Tayer has become a go-to in Jeddah for lovers of bite-sized pastries, blending the rich flavors of Lebanese cuisine with the comforting taste of Saudi favorites.

Seeing classic pastries in such small portions is both surprising and appealing, with each piece fresh, flavorful and hard to resist.

The signature selection includes spinach, kebbeh and pizza. The spinach variety offers a tangy burst of flavor, the mini pizzas carry a nostalgic, homemade taste, and the kebbeh is crisp on the outside with a savory, well-seasoned filling.

Pop Tayer’s Lebanese-inspired menu also features safiha, shish barak and waraa einab, while the Saudi flavors include aish bilahham and sambusa — all served in the brand’s signature miniature style.

The pastries make great guilt-free snacks, whether at home, at work or on the go. They are sold by the kilogram or the dozen.

A kilogram of spinach pastries is priced at SR220 ($59).

All pastries are homemade and preservative-free, with orders prepared fresh, except for the spinach filling, which is frozen in advance before baking.

Orders can be placed via Instagram @pop_tayer.

Where We Are Going Today: Fuwa

Located at Box Park Center in Al-Zahra district, Fuwa has quickly built a reputation as a go-to spot for indulgent pancakes, waffles, and creative drinks, appealing squarely to dessert lovers.

The cafe’s playful character extends to its seating, with an eclectic mix of chairs that adds visual interest and a casual, upbeat atmosphere.

Pancakes are the real stars on the menu. Alongside classic options, Fuwa offers an impressive range of flavors, from raspberry cheesecake, salted caramel and tiramisu to creme brulee, strawberry cheesecake, and pink chocolate. Every stack is fluffy and warm, with generous toppings that make them almost too pretty to eat.

Waffles are equally tempting. The waffle sticks box and waffle sticks cup are designed for easy sharing, while the triple chocolate cake delivers a dense, deeply chocolatey experience, though its sweetness may be best enjoyed with company.

The drinks menu complements the desserts well. Cold options include Fuwa latte and blue coco lemonade. For something more playful, the boba selection adds texture and variety. 

As the temperatures drop, the hot chocolate stands out, topped with a soft, creamy swirl that makes it especially comforting.

While prices may feel slightly higher than average, and the space is better suited to quick visits than long sit-downs, Fuwa delivers on flavor and creativity, making it a worthwhile stop for dessert enthusiasts.
