The Golden Kangaroo is a cozy coffee shop in northeast Riyadh, offering beverages and healthy treats in a warm, inviting setting.
It has an Australian influence and pop art aesthetic, and some areas are like stepping onto a movie set from “Alice in Wonderland.”
The relaxed atmosphere is reflected in the colorful decor, comfortable furniture, upbeat music, and friendly staff.
The cafe also provides Wi-Fi, making it a good spot for working or meetings.
What sets the Golden Kangaroo apart is its healthy menu. Instead of fried donuts, they serve oven-baked ones with chocolate cream and topped with zaatar, creating a sweet and savory twist.
Desserts use honey and natural sweeteners rather than sugar, such as in their cinnamon treat, which was both tasty and wholesome.
The only drawback is the pricing. A small cup of coffee costs around SR15 ($4), with most drinks between SR17 and SR23, making it a little expensive for daily visits.
Overall, the Golden Kangaroo is worth an occasional stop for its creative sweets, cheerful vibes, and welcoming ambiance.
