DKNY popped up at The Avenues with a sleek coffee cart that blends seasonal fashion with a playful DIY twist. Alongside racks from their latest collection, the setup offers complimentary coffee served in rich chocolate-brown cups. The real draw sits right beside the espresso machine: a display of colorful rhinestone stickers designed for customizing each takeaway cup on the spot.

It is a clever detail that turns a standard brand giveaway into a fun, interactive stop while wandering the mall. Between the warm velvet cart detailing and the sparkled cups carried around the Grand Avenue, it makes an ordinary caffeine run feel unexpectedly creative.

Few things in Kuwait hold up quite like a KDD soft serve. No matter how many artisanal gelato spots or trendy dessert parlours open across the city, stopping by the KDD counter remains an unmatched ritual. It is simple, dependable, and deeply nostalgic for anyone who grew up here.

The chocolate swirl in a crisp wafer cone hits the exact same note every single time. It is straightforward, rich without feeling heavy, and easily one of the most reliable sweet fixes you can get while walking through the mall. Always the best, without question.

FroYo Cafe has brought back one of its most distinctive items, and their research and development team somehow managed to make it even better. These slender frozen bars layer bright berry fruit with creamy yogurt, packed neatly into individual sleeves inside an insulated cylinder chilled with dry ice.

The updated recipe delivers a cleaner snap and a deeper, more balanced flavor profile. It is a smart, mess-free format built specifically for sharing at gatherings, proving that good product design and dessert can go hand in hand.

T La Felice has refreshed its lineup with a new autumn menu that leans hard into comfort-forward baking and layered sourdough toasts. The standout of the spread is the sticky toffee apple crumble sourdough. It arrives piled with tender warm apples, spiced crumble, toasted almond flakes, and a generous drizzle of toffee, landing effortlessly between morning toast and rich dessert.

The rest of the table holds its own, whether you want sweet or savoury. Melty brie sandwiches layered with tart fruit preserves offer the ideal savoury bite, while scrambled eggs loaded with fresh rocket sit alongside delicate pastries and tiramisu. Paired with an iced coffee, it is an easy spot to settle into an outdoor table while the weather is good.

If you know, you know: this might just be the greatest thing to land on the scene since February 1999. Planted right in the middle of the concourse at The Avenues, a massive, fully mirrored pavilion has quietly appeared, catching the natural light and reflecting the surrounding promenade in every direction.

It is an immediate head-turner. The seamless chrome exterior turns shoppers, planters, and storefronts into an ever-shifting geometric illusion, breaking up the familiar retail stroll with something sharp and surreal. Whether you are curious about what sits inside or simply caught off guard by your own reflection, it is impossible to pass by without a double take.

M&M’S is preparing to bring its signature interactive retail concept to Kuwait International Airport, marking only the seventh outpost of its kind worldwide and the third in the Middle East. Designed to be far more than a standard confectionery counter, the space will feature interactive games, personalized M&M’S gifting stations, exclusive merchandise, and floor-to-ceiling chocolate displays.

Expected to open before the end of the year, the vibrant shop brings a playful diversion to departing travelers and airport visitors alike. It is another notable international concept expanding into Kuwait, and we will be keeping a close eye on the project as the official opening approaches.

Here is a first look at the very first Ciao Melenzane, newly open at Al Shaheed Park. The Melenzane team has branched out with a fresh resto-cafe format that feels both casual and considered, bringing an all-day Italian dining rhythm to the park's grounds.

Inside, the space pairs deep walnut shelving and blue-and-white checkerboard floor tiles with plush crimson banquettes. The defining architectural touch comes from the angled structural columns wrapped in detailed mosaic tilework depicting vintage figure skaters, framing views out through large glass panes. It makes for an inviting stop whether you are dropping in for an espresso or staying for a full dinner.

Spark Athletic has unveiled Spark Studio inside the dramatic dome-shaped building at Al Shaheed Park Phase 3, sharing the roof with Al Soor Theater. The women-only space pairs rich brown marble, dark wood walls, and a striking glass pavilion with an ambitious fitness lineup. Studio spaces cover reformer, mat, and red-lit heated Pilates, alongside personal training and their signature Spark Form method, with classes running from 6 a.m. through the evening.

On-site nourishment comes via Bunboy, which handles bites, bowls, and BEME, their dedicated lineup of protein and workout drinks. Right next door, Spark Running Club is open to everyone, complete with experienced coaching, a private assessment room, and its own mascot, Sparky. It makes for a remarkably complete wellness outpost right in the park.

Clay has taken Pink October in a practical, meaningful direction through a new collaboration with Images for Health. Instead of stopping at a themed menu item, they are sponsoring check-ups with a simple, direct reminder: do not wait. It is a thoughtful approach to breast cancer awareness that puts tangible action first.

The dessert itself makes the visit worthwhile. A warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie sits alongside a generous swirl of pink soft-serve, finished with a crisp crumble topping. It is a comforting mix of warm and cold, and a great excuse to stop by and support the initiative.

Rollies is quickly making a case for the top spot in Kuwait's cinnamon roll scene. Their assorted boxes arrive packed with pillowy rolls finished in a generous lineup of glazes and toppings, from glossy caramel and rich chocolate to torched brûléed bananas and crisp cereal crunch.

The balance between soft, spiced dough and inventive toppings hits all the right notes, especially when paired with an iced matcha on the side. If you are planning an office spread or a sweet weekend gathering at home, the wait is almost over. @tryrollies is launching live on Talabat next week.

Mr. Holmes has officially landed at Salhiya Complex, bringing its signature pastry culture and modern cafe energy right into the heart of Kuwait City. The design leans into rich burl wood paneling, warm ambient lighting, and mid-century silhouettes that feel completely at home framed against the landmark shopping center’s polished marble atrium.

Beyond the striking interiors, the counter is turning out specialty espresso, fresh bakes, and vibrant iced drinks layered with blue spirulina and chia pudding. It is already drawing an easy crowd, making it a natural pitstop whether you are settling in with a coffee or catching up between appointments.

Kuwait took home two major honours at this year's Restaurant & Bar Design Awards, spotlighting the local dining scene on an international stage. Odachi, designed by Seba Spaces, earned the Sustainability award for its mindful build and material choices, proving that eco-conscious execution has a natural home in fine dining.

Meanwhile, Chops at The Avenues secured the Lighting award. Conceived by interior architecture studio Lines, the venue pairs dramatic geometric ceiling volumes with warm, sculptural fixtures that bring incredible depth to the dining room. A well-deserved congratulations to both restaurants and the creative design teams behind their spaces.
