Madeleine Cafe in Khobar

Today, I went with my lovely cousins to discover a new cafe in Khobar; Madeleine. It's been open for a while, but I have been away for most of last year, so I just got a chance to try it tonight. 

Initially, we went to only have desert, but after smelling the food and reading the menu we got tempted to eat as well! My favourite thing about the whole shop is their graphics and branding. I just love the quirky black and white sketches used behind the deserts counter, on the door, on their boxes and menus. 

They have two sitting areas. The downstairs one, which was really noisy and the upstairs one. It was quiet and relaxing. Everyone was raving about their deserts. We started with them. They were very sweet and nice a mix of French, American, Italian and Middle Eastern. They have few innovative macaroons. They were nice, but not out of this world. The food was lovely and oddly Italian. Typical Saudi cafes where you get international food. It was a little pricey for what we got. The price of main dishes was almost the same as one desert.   

Their decor is between classic and quirky with a mix of wooden touches. Their chairs were really comfortable and the light pistachio green paint is soothing. It's a great place to chill with friends and family.

From Errands To Macaroons

Yesterday, I was running some errands around Kensington and saw the cutest little macaroons place called Anges de Sucre.  I didn't realize it was my beloved macaroons till I got closer. I thought it was a little antique and accessories shop. It was really sweet and the macaroons were even sweeter!

From outside

I entered and was wowed. It turns out it's only been there for three weeks. Lucky me for finding it. They sell handmade macaroons & marshmallows (too bad they were pork gelatine so I didn't get it to try them, but they looked NICE!) They had TEA, too! I haven't tried the teas, but they smelled lovely. The tins added to the decor and completed it. They do sell other drinks cold and hot, but when I saw tea all the other ones just melted into the background.

The decor was simple and on the classy vintage side. I loved the mirror that was framed with flowers and the painted birds. It gave it a quirky feel. The light creamy baby blue paint softened the place.    

isn't it so pretty?

The macaroons bar! *DROOL*

The ones I tried were really delicious.  

This shop made it into the list of yummy french macaroons in London for sure! Make sure you try it out if you are in the area! :)
