One of my more than 500 TikTok saves was a reel from Mooma Coffee & Roastery gushing about its famed London cake, which had made its way to Jeddah from the cosmopolitan city.
The layered cake with different shades of brown — ganache, cream, and cake — certainly looked delectable and inviting.
So, last week, after wrapping up work and dinner, my husband and I headed to Mooma in the Al-Zahra district for dessert and coffee. The cafe is tucked inside a large shopping complex.
By 10 p.m., trying to find a parking spot in front or near the cafe had proved a tedious affair and getting in was another challenge as two queues spilled out of the entrance.
But I was determined to try it, and after around 10 to 15 minutes we made it to the counter and placed an order for London cake, of course, pecan French toast, cold Ethiopian V60, and iced tea.
