Looking for a modern spot with subtle touches of Saudi culture? Telad Cafe in Jeddah’s Ash Shati district offers interiors that mix contemporary style and technology — like its iPad menu — with retro decor for a classic feel.
The menu is fairly standard but provides a good range of options. Breakfast choices, such as the croissant with scrambled eggs, and the truffle omelet, come in portions large enough for two.
Sandwiches, including the honey halloumi and salmon pesto wrap, offer some variety, while salads and starters like chicken hummus, mozzarella sticks, avocado and olive tapenade dips, or chicken quesadilla are good lighter options.
Pasta options include fettuccine Alfredo and penne arrabiata, and the burger selection — including the mm’ bite burger — looks satisfying.
Desserts such as kunafa burrata and affogato French toast add some interesting flavors, and drinks like the tahini latte and candy pop coffee offer a twist on standard coffee options.
The cafe’s top floor has views of the Formula One track, a nice spot for photos. Its location and reasonable pricing make it a convenient choice for casual meetups or coffee breaks.
