You know that moment when you sit down with a hot karak and realise you need something small to eat — but nothing too heavy? That’s exactly where Cinnabon Cheese Sticks come in. Tea Oasis Al Khobar has added these golden, crispy, cream-cheese-filled bites to its Light Bites series, and they’ve already become one of the most talked-about snacks in our café. If you haven’t tried them yet, here’s everything you need to know.
Cinnabon Cheese Sticks are a modern take on the classic CinnaStix format — think flaky, golden-baked pastry twisted into a stick shape, with a rich cream cheese core and the signature warmth of cinnamon sugar coating the outside. The result is a snack that hits sweet, savory, and buttery all at once.
At Tea Oasis Al Khobar, we serve them warm straight from the oven — the cheese is still slightly melted, the exterior has that satisfying crunch, and the cinnamon aroma hits you before the first bite does. Pair them with a cup of our Signature Karak or Classic Karak Chai, and you’ve got a combination that’s hard to walk away from.
They’re not a full meal. They’re not meant to be. They sit perfectly in that space between ‘I want something’ and ‘I don’t want too much’ — the light bite sweet spot.
There’s a reason bakers in the Gulf have been pairing cheese pastries with tea for generations. The creaminess of cheese cuts through the tannins in black tea, while the sweetness of the cinnamon sugar plays off the spiced depth of karak. It’s a flavour balancing act that just works.
Our cheese sticks bring that same logic into a format that’s easy to eat, shareable, and a little indulgent without going overboard. One order gives you enough to enjoy solo during a quiet afternoon, or split between two people catching up over drinks.
At Tea Oasis, we’ve always believed snacks should feel intentional — not just something tossed onto a plate. Cinnabon Cheese Sticks were chosen for the Light Bites series specifically because they complement our tea menu in a way that makes the whole experience feel more complete.
Cinnabon launched its CinnaStix back in June 2000 as a baked, hand-held alternative to the classic cinnamon roll. Danish dough was brushed with cinnamon butter, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and baked into golden sticks. They became a global staple — light enough to carry while shopping, satisfying enough to count as a treat.
The cream cheese dip came later, adding the same frosting DNA that made the classic Cinnabon roll famous. That combination — crispy pastry, cinnamon sugar exterior, cool creamy cheese — is now considered the definitive CinnaStix experience.
Al Khobar has a thriving café culture. Locals know where to go for great karak, strong Arabic coffee, and international pastries. What’s been missing is a café that curates its snack menu as carefully as its drinks menu — giving each bite as much thought as each cup.
That’s the gap Tea Oasis is filling with the Light Bites series. Cinnabon Cheese Sticks aren’t just on the menu because they’re popular — they’re here because they pair well, they photograph well, and they give you that small moment of pleasure that makes a café visit feel worthwhile.
Head to any Tea Oasis Al Khobar branch and ask for the Light Bites menu. You’ll find Cinnabon Cheese Sticks listed alongside our other curated snack options. You can also order via our delivery partners if you want them brought to your desk, your car, or your couch.
They’re best eaten warm. If you’re ordering delivery, we recommend letting them sit for no more than five minutes after arrival before digging in — the texture is at its peak when the cheese is still slightly soft and the exterior is still crisp.
Since launching the Light Bites series, Tea Oasis Al Khobar has seen a clear shift in how customers engage with our menu. People are ordering drinks plus a small bite rather than drinks alone — because now there’s something worth pairing.
The feedback on Cinnabon Cheese Sticks has been consistent: the warmth of the cinnamon, the pull of the cream cheese, the crunch of the pastry. Customers keep coming back not just for the tea, but for that specific combination.
One regular at our Khobar branch put it simply: she came in for karak and left talking about the cheese sticks. That’s the kind of menu item the Light Bites series was built around.
Cinnabon Cheese Sticks are the latest addition to Tea Oasis Al Khobar’s growing Light Bites series. The series is built on a simple idea: every great café drink deserves an equally great snack companion. We’re not building a full food menu — we’re curating a selection of bites that make your tea or coffee experience feel more complete.
Stay tuned to the Tea Oasis menu for upcoming Light Bites additions. We’ll be rolling out new items regularly, each chosen specifically to complement our beverage lineup.
Tea Oasis Al Khobar is more than a place to get karak. It’s a space designed around the ritual of a great drink — and now, the ritual of a great snack alongside it. Cinnabon Cheese Sticks are the latest proof that a light bite, done right, makes the whole visit better.
Come in, sit down, order your karak, and try the cheese sticks. We think you’ll understand why they made the menu.
