Locally owned and operated, Easy Bakery in Riyadh is known for its fresh pastries and sourdough bread.

Its branches are located on Anas Ibn Malik Street and in Turki Square, which has a larger sitting area.

The bakery offers a variety of freshly baked pastries, cakes, and bread, ranging in price from SR11 ($2.93) for a plain croissant to SR39 for a mixed seed sourdough loaf.

Other available bread loaves to go include German bread, brioche, and baguette.

Easy Bakery recently included a sourdough sandwich menu using its famous sourdough made with natural yeast, which is fermented for more than 18 hours and baked fresh every morning.

Sourdough sandwiches come with four different sets of ingredients: beetroot hummus, avocado, Greek cheese, balsamic cream, and chives; peanut butter spread, organic granola, banana, blueberries, and honey; scrambled eggs, mashed avocado, parmesan cheese, and chives; and labneh, mint, thyme, pomegranate molasses, and fresh pomegranate seeds.

For special occasions, including Ramadan, Eid, and Saudi National Day, Easy Bakery offers boxes in several sizes featuring its most popular pastries. 

The range of cakes and pastries available is unique in texture, flavor, and fillings, such as their white cheese and mint croissant, sundried tomatoes and pesto Danish, cheese tahini Danish, tiramisu wheel, black sesame cake, and zucchini carrot cake.

Other favorites include almond raspberry tart, Nutella twist, babka cardamom, pecan and caramel Danish, lemon cake, and apple muffin.

All baked goods are made on the premises, and customers can watch the process during their visit.

The drink menu includes a coffee of the day, an iced Spanish latte, a cortado, an espresso, and an English breakfast tea. They also served freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Open from 7 a.m. to midnight daily, the bakery tends to be at its busiest on the weekend.
