With the slogan “We create delicious memories,” V Boutique artisan patisserie and boulangerie is an elegant space that bakes French-style goods in Alkhobar.
As the only branch in the Kingdom, it offers customers a chance to sample a taste of France with a twist.
With plenty of mini cakes and pastries at the ready, they are also known for a French and Arab fusion dessert, their creme brulee kunafa which goes for SR38 ($10).
It comes in a small ramekin for a solo delight or in a larger bowl, meant for sharing. Some might find it too sweet but it would be ideal to pair with unsweetened coffee or a shot of espresso.
You might try their cheddar croissant, which comes with flaky layers and a dollop of gooey melted cheddar on top, as well as a tiny bit of cheese in the middle.
The upstairs area is spacious but feels homey at the same time. Tables are spaced enough so you can have some privacy while feeling connected. The area is perfect for catching up on work on your device or for chatting with friends.
They serve made-to-order breakfasts between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. This menu consists of avocado toast (SR59).
It comes with a toasted sourdough slice slathered with avocado puree, a layer of labnah, some pesto sauce and scrambled eggs with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses. It is accompanied by a side of green salad.
The menu has plenty of egg dishes. Their stuffed croissants come with at least two kinds of egg options, their club sandwich contains an omelette slice, and their smoked turkey croque madame has eggs on top. They also do classic eggs and beetroot toast with eggs.
For those who want a sweeter start to the day, they can order the classic brioche French toast with slices of fresh strawberry and banana. It comes with three types of dipping sides: vanilla cream, honey and a homemade mixed berries jam.
They also have a choco-caramel French toast with Nutella and homemade caramel. And a roasted-granola bowl with Greek yogurt, homemade peanut butter, and fresh seasonal fruit. They also have grilled halloumi sandwich rolls and tuna rolls.
There are plenty of drink options in both hot and iced versions. They also have a catering menu for local gatherings.
The eatery is open between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. from Saturdays to Wednesdays, and closes at midnight on Thursdays and Fridays.
