It’s tempting to choose what to get first because the pastry cases and overflowing with picture-perfect options that taste as good as they look. From classic Middle Eastern sweets, including a myriad of milk cakes, to traditional French options to gluten-free and vegan cakes, you’ve pretty much got all your bases covered here.

‌HIGHLY COMMENDED: Dots

All doughnuts are not created equal. Dots is a artisanal donut shop focused on doing one thing and doing it well, with plenty of personality. This is what makes it part of the best dessert in Jeddah list. The Jeddah Boulevard venue is suited for picking up some mini dotties while you’re on the go as much as it is to take a seat with friends and have one of the unique flavours. You’re covered with classics and as much as more creative flavours. Expect everything from mango chili lime to crème brûlée to old-fashioned doughnuts. Better make that a box order.

HIGHLY COMMENDED: Tiny House

Tiny House is big on flavours. The spaces across the city are sizeable, too. Specialising in pancakes, waffles and crepes, this Jeddah dessert shop is a popular place for those who like to customise their treats. Pick your sweet, size then toppings. Sauces are the star here as much as the carb vehicle, with the crunchy chocolate and pistachio being crowd favourites. Then don’t forget your warm drinks.

SHORTLISTED: Biscotti Cookie Shop

If you’re coming for the biscotti, prepare because you’re going to get even more than you bargained for at this Jeddah dessert shop, including a range of all kinds of cookies – particularly chocolate – as well as cakes, cupcakes, chocolates, brownies, and even cookie cups. Biscotti Cookie shop is focused on ‘spreading happiness one cookie at a time’. We say anyone that gets a full mint green box of sweets from the Al Zahra dessert shop would be happy.

SHORTLISTED: COPA

Walk into the Shangri-La Jeddah, and it might not be the luxurious marble entranceway that captures your attention but the dessert cases at COPA. Many guests are drawn to the intricate cakes and almost-too-pretty-to-eat creations from the in-house café and boutique patisserie. The menu is courtesy of award-winning British pastry chef and chocolatier Tony Hoyle. The are some of the best desserts in Jeddah that are raising the dessert game since the hotel opened just over a year ago.

SHORTLISTED: EL&N London

EL&N London is known for its highly Instagrammable and oh-so-pink aesthetic, but this is certainly not a case of style over substance. The London-born café only recent expanded to the Red Sea city after opening multiple branches in Riyadh. There’s an all-day menu, but it’s the desserts everyone will alwaysorder. There is no passing that pastry case filled with pastel layer cakes, individual cheesecakes and other sweet treats without ordering something – and getting something for takeaway.

SHORTLISTED: Fillings

‘Doughnuts and fine coffee’ are the hero combination at this An Nahdah doughnut shop. Of course the fillings are an essential part of this. These are generously portioned mini doughnuts, that are equally generously filled with flavours like raspberry, pistachio and vanilla after being made to order. The slightly smaller size encourages you to try multiple flavours.

The Al Zahra café also serves a full menu, including a range of breakfast options, but it is the dessert that you will want to order every single time, or even make a trip over for, especially with the menu frequently updated with new additions and specials. 
Al Zahra, 

SHORTLISTED: Lily’s Bakery

Lily’s Bakery is a surprising find in Al Zahra. If it’s your first time going, you might feel like you’re discovering some special. You are, but you’re certainly not the first to enjoy top desserts from this long-standing spot. Cake pops are the signature, but you can also dig into a menu of hits, including pancakes, waffles and some salty baked goods.
