A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Al Khyam’s doors were just opening for another day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the alley behind the bakery. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw an old man, wearing a long white robe, carefully placing fresh bread onto a cart. Turning towards him with a warm smile, the man said simply, ‘Another perfect day for baking, my friend.’ The delivery driver shrugged it off as just another local eccentricity, but couldn’t help smiling back.

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the empty baskets outside Al Khyam. A small, neatly wrapped package sat there, untouched and unmarked. Curious, he picked it up—inside was a warm croissant with a note scribbled in Arabic: ‘For your morning smile.’ Turned out, a kind neighbor had been leaving treats for the staff every now and then, adding a touch of unexpected kindness to their daily routine.

3. At midnight, when most bakeries were silent, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from Al Khyam's basement. Curious, he peered down and saw only shadows dancing on the wall. Suddenly, a croissant fell from above with a soft thud, followed by a sleepy voice saying, ‘Sorry, mate—must’ve dropped that on my way out.’ The delivery driver chuckled and left, realizing Al Khyam’s nightly antics were part of its charm.

4. At midnight, when most bakeries were sleeping, a delivery driver heard a voice whispering from behind the counter: ‘Just one more loaf…’ Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw an old man with twinkling eyes holding a warm loaf of bread. The man smiled and said, 'For your kindness today, take this as my gift.' And just like that, Al Khyam’s baked goods became even more special—delivered not only by trucks but also by friendly ghostly hands!'
