Riyadh’s Go-To Sweets Spots for Midnight Munchies

We’ve all been there. It’s 10 PM, you’re wide awake, and all you can think about is chocolate. Whether you’re into gooey brownies, stuffed donuts, or cake straight from a vending machine, Riyadh has a lineup of late-night sweet spots ready to satisfy your sugar rush. Some are open well into the night, and others are 24/7 dessert dreams.

1. Less Is More – Open 24/7

Triple chocolate cake lovers, this one’s for you. Less Is More is a minimalist heaven with maximum flavor. Grab a slice of their to-die-for cake, a Nutella-filled donut, or their San Sebastian cheesecake. Don’t skip their basbousa or the rich date cake. They hit different after midnight.

2. Cake Can– Open 24/7

Yes, this is a cake vending machine. Located in Ash Shuhada and Rabbit Hall in Alyasmin, it’s the ultimate no-judgment dessert fix. Vanilla-strawberry? Double chocolate? It’s cake, 24/7. Enough said.

3. Susam – Open until 1 AM

This spot is famous for its generous cake slices and signature chocolate tower cake served fresh, even late at night! You’ll also find cruffles, croissants, tarts, and more. It’s like walking into a bakery dream late at night.

4. Alf Desserts – Until 12:30 AM (1:30 AM Thurs-Fri)

In Al Wadi, Alf serves up one of the most comforting combos: a warm brownie, Nutella, and vanilla ice cream. Add in their soft chocolate chip cookies, and you’ve got the perfect nightcap.

5. The Palm – Open until 2–3 AM

When it’s late and you want rich, indulgent desserts, head to The Palm. Their chocolate cake, drenched in sauce, is unmatched. Also worth trying: fudgy raspberry brownies and pistachio cakes that are as pretty as they are tasty.

Late-night sweet cravings don’t wait, and in Riyadh, they don’t have to. Whether it’s cake from a vending machine or brownies swimming in chocolate sauce, these spots make sure you’re never too late for dessert.
