I have recently found 2 hidden gems in Kuwait over the past week...
The 1st is my amazing new friend, Lisa, she was visiting Kuwait for 2 weeks on a business trip and this girl was down was anything & everything! It was awesome meeting her and she accompanied me to my other recent finding, "Q Cafe". I will apologize in advance for the quality of these pics, the lighting in the restaurant was really dim. Apologies!
When walking in you almost feel as though you've made a wrong turn into your 16-year old sister's bedroom. This chic cafe in Kuwait City is decorated with the girliest of girly items like neon lights, pastel colors, cupboards dripping in costume jewelry, and knit-knacks galore! The venue is quite cute, and has great charm. Lisa & I were on a hunt for some cool desserts and the dessert case is illuminated with an example of every item on the dessert menu, immediately caught our eye. Q was the perfect way to end our evening the city. By then end of our 3-hour sweet venture we were asking for prices of their retail items and ending up sharing 3 treats!
My Americano was just what it needed to keep me entertained by all of the fabulousness of the 15-seat, yet cozy venue. It arrived in a tall porcelain mug which is honestly, just how I like it. If your coffee is not a double, it's not worth it! On the saucer the server had placed a small chocolate chip cookie which was a cute, subtle addition. My partner in crime decided to try their Chocolate Cookie Shake, she was quite content with the icy beverage. Although, when I fathom any type of shake my mind wanders on to enjoying something creamy & rich, this shake was not, it literally was watered down, chocolate blended with ice.
While conversing, Lisa & I could not help but to stare at all the magical details of the venue. There were so many "things" occupying the modern-day Barbie cafe. I was sipping on my coffee I noticed that at the pastry counter, our hospitable server was garnishing off our sweets with a shower of coco powder, VERY CUTE!

Within minutes, course one had arrived, a beautifully layered cheesecake. The base was a rich fudge brownie, followed by a thick center of smooth cheesecake, and topped off with distinctive layer of pink raspberry mousse. I was DELICIOUS! The dense brownie was the perfect contrast between between the airy mousse, and and the tart cheesecake. Every bite was well balanced with flavor and sweetness. In between the our second round of taste, taste pass, the sundae had arrived. I ordered this artery-clogging American-Street Food and was damn excited to try it! Like, I had imagined, it was the bomb! The fried- batter surrounding each cookie (there were 3) was crispy and moist. The ice cream was simple and none other than vanilla. The mound of goodness was garnished with a drizzle of gooey caramel. With my boyfriend being approximately 7,000+ miles away, this sensation was as close to orgasmic as I was going to get! For an obvious lack of a better word, it was fucking good!

The last of our sugary experience was the Chocolate Bread Pudding. When ordering our server had made us aware that the bread pudding, takes some time and would be served lasted. No problem, we need the gap of time in between
