SHAKESPEARE’S COFFEE Located next to the beautiful Herbivore Garden in Gigiri is a new Coffee Shop that caught my eye with its name “Shakespeare’s Coffee”. Being an avid Shakespeare lover, I was intrigued. Walking into the small but adorable shop, I was first overwhelmed by the beautiful smell of fresh coffee. You know the smell… the one that makes you want to sit on a comfy couch and drink coffee while reading Harry Potter. Such a comforting smell. And then, I saw the bookshelf right next to the coffee packets with Shakespeare’s face on it. And I was home. Unlike most spots that have books for the sake of having books, these books are part of Bonn and Kathy’s personal collection: the owners of Shakespeare’s Coffee. The friendliest

SAAB BAKERY When I was younger, a friend of mine would bring my brother and me this special Turkish sausage called Sujuk and it changed our breakfast experience. Scrambled eggs and a few slices of Sujuk, that was a perfect experience. But other than that, there’s no place we could get Sujuk here or even authentic Feta cheese. Then comes in Saab Bakery, a beautiful new spot at The Waterfront Mall that is intimate and cosy, surrounded by my favourite colours. Saab is run by the lovely Soad who is friendly and passionate about what she does. The menu has been carefully selected by her and has items like a proper Turkish breakfast, Medittarenean breakfast, a ‘pick & prepare’ option, freshly baked bread and so much more. Their menu is perfectly small and is going to get bigger as they perfect every dish. Saab Bakery feels like home when you enter it, but when you eat, it only becomes better. In a world of so many menus looking the same, Saab Bakery stands out with their Arabic Coffee, decor surprises in everything from their teapots to their plates. In terms of the space, Saab Bakery has a section for kids, for formal dining, a family section, tables for intimate conversations, spots for working and space by the literal waterfront. When you go (And you must!) order the Turkish Breakfast or even the fresh pastries, you can’t go wrong! Saab Bakery is located at Waterfront Mall and is open from 7.30 AM.
