1. Bakestop Bakery – Pioneers of the Crookie

These guys were one of the first to introduce the crookie concept to Riyadh, and they’ve been winning over hearts and taste buds ever since.

Not only do they nail the trend of delicious flat croissants that are perfect for sharing (especially when paired with their three dipping sauces), but the car models collection decorating this place in Riyadh is a must-see for any automotive enthusiast.

3. Chestnut Bakery – Trio Crookie

Let’s talk about Chestnut Bakery. If you thought the crookie (a.k.a. the ingenious combination of a croissant and a cookie) was already next-level, wait until you try their trio crookie. It is a mini croissant loaded with not one, not two, but three different cookies. Yep, you heard that right. They took the trend up a notch!
