Here at bazaar, we have a beautiful mixture of tastes, where our different backgrounds gives us a global insight. So, when Serve Bakery served us their baked goods and delightful desserts, we couldn’t hold our excitement to try them out, and start placing our judgements. Serve is a new bakery in Kuwait that provides a variety of sweet and savory bites. Basically, we got served the best of both worlds!
The menu at Ser ve is divided into four categories; sections dedicated to Cakes, Trifles, Mini Bites and Cookies, and finally Fatayer. First of all, who can ever say no to cakes?! Or creamy, flavorful trifles, and crunchy finger bites of crunchy cookies. Fatayer alone are an irresistible category, where one is hardly ever enough.
We can safely say that for cakes, the Pecan Pie is the shining star item. We couldn’t stop ourselves from having second servings, and the verdict on this pie was final; it is a must try! It’s extremely rich with flavors, the crust has a beautiful crunch to it. Whereas the caramelized pecan just adds to the sweetness of the pie itself, with a slightly, and unique roasted flavor coming from the pecans.
Serve also include a variety of cheesecakes under their Cakes section. There’s the Classic Cheesecake, Turtle Cheesecake, Chocolate Cheesecake, and the Oreo Cheesecake. When you see the name of a Turtle Cheesecake, you can’t help but wonder why is it even called after a reptile? But, they’re actually inspired by turtle candies. The pecans are placed in a form where it looks like turtle legs, with the caramel and chocolate drizzle over the top, giving it a final look like turtle shells.
The Turtle Cheesecake at Serve is surprisingly smooth, and the texture is extremely creamy. The cheese gives it a savory flavor, while the chocolate and caramel balance out this cake with the required sweetness. The result? A dense rich texture, yet a combination of sweet and savory tastes to delight the senses from this lovely looking cheesecake.
Trifles are the kind of dessert you’d have to get for that refreshing feeling. The main ingredient of a trifle is a texture like custard poured over sponge cake. It’s aim is to be as creamy and delicate as possible. Serve’s trifles include a mixture of items that are both middle-eastern and western inspired, you can go from Dates Trifle to a Lemon Curd Trifle. Depending on your mood and preference, Serve will serve your trifle just right!
The Mini Bites and Cookies section is dedicated to the same items on Serve’s menu, but they come in a smaller size. For example, you can have a full Pecan Pie, or several mini versions of it. The Mini’s are the perfect choice for big gatherings, providing easier access to sneak in several bites, or to just enjoy a piece by yourself, for yourself. The inclusion of cookies just elevates it more, where you have the Salted Caramel stuffed cookies, and Nutella stuffed cookies.
Finally, we have Fatayer. You can never go wrong with a classical twisted Zaatar fatayer, they’re perfect for breakfast, snack, dinner, or at any time of the day. The dough which Serve serves is simply soft, light, and delightful. The same thing can be said of their fulfilling Kiri Cheese puffs. While there are several options to choose from in the Fatayer section, Serve make it easier for you to try them all by offering a Mixed Fatayer option.
Now that we’ve tried both the sweet and savory baked goods from Serve, we have come to a decision. Serve Bakery is just the right place to provide you (and us!) with the yummiest desser ts for quick gatherings and cravings. Its menu options are simple yet multiple, providing us with a variety of items to choose from, that will surely keep us satisfied and delighted endlessly. Try it out for yourself today!
