Mel's Bakery

For the past 7 years, we’ve been baking fresh, high-quality bread right here at KAUST, bringing flavors from around the world to our community. We love good bread—made the slow way, with long fermentation, fresh-milled grains, and a variety of natural starters. 

Whether it’s a hearty sourdough, a childhood favorite, or something new to try, we put our hearts into our daily baking. We bake Sunday to Friday, always happy to make your day a little better with a good loaf. 

If you have suggestions, feedback, or information you’d like to see added, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Together, we can keep this space supportive and useful for everyone.
