Kamps-The German Backerei

I have been driving past the Kamps-The German Backerei here in Riyadh for the last few months, keeping it on my wish list and finally managed to tick it this morning. 


It opens literally at the crack of dawn,  at 6:30 am on Friday mornings. As an early riser, it suits me just fine. 

As you enter the bakery, what you will love is the contemporary and chic decor. The visual assault leave you breathless, particularly if you are a gourmand. The aroma of freshly baked bread and croissants, add to it the whiff of some coffee- sheer nirvaana. 



 


While the choice is really wide- from flatbreads, cheese platter, gourmet platter, sandwiches, rolls to fresh fruits with yoghurt,








I ordered the Triple Hot Toast Chicken with Brie. Not many can resist a perfectly toasted crisp fresh bread, the melting Brie cheese with Chicken. It was an absolute delight. Just a small dash of freshly made berry jam in this sandwich added a sweet, colorful twist to it.  I enjoyed it with the Tabasco sauce - it was a riotous feast.




Now to the coffee, I ordered my usual Double Espresso Macchiato shot and I must say that this was the best that I had in Riyadh. The aroma and temperature just perfect, I almost ordered one more and had a tough time resisting this urge.

While I would have loved to eat one of their tempting sweet offerings, I kept it for my next visit. I did pick up some German Bread variety.
