Martin Kubler: Came here to check out the vegan breakfast. I liked it. It was tasty, though the guacamole and the tofu scramble could have both done with a bit more seasoning. They were fine after I added some salt & pepper. Great staff. A food delivery rider rocked up while I was there to pick up an order. The staff offered him water and actually brought a proper bottle, the same water they sell to customers. Others would have not offered or brought tap water. Kindness is a great touch. Will return to check out the other dishes.

Joud Coffee
Address :
Albateen street – Near Mubarak Bin Mohammed St – Abu Dhabi
Neil: If youβre looking for a place where to relax and read some books or whatever, this coffee shop would be the best. They have the best coffee available and even some fresh baked goods as well. The ambiance of this cafe was so relaxing, and the staffs are highly friendly. Cappuccino was amazing! A little bit bitter that makes taste rich. Barista suggested different types of coffee beans. I really like and respect to cafe when they have different coffee beans options.

Aless T.: Stumbled across this place & it now made it to my favorite 5 places! π – interiors are stunning, very cozy feels like a mountain cottage – spacious place with tables apart from one another. They have different arrangements from comfy sofas to wooden dining sets. – there is an outdoor area with lovely flower plants and a fountain, such beautiful view & vibes – staff is friendly and attentive. There is a good amount of staff so no time in waiting to be served. – atmosphere is very clam and relaxing, they play soft music only, no lyrics, just the right volume πΌ – Tried it for dinner and afternoon desserts. Menu has a good variety of plates. – desserts are delicious!!! Long time since we found some good flavored desserts, not only looking great but tasting exquisite π My only recommendation would be to make the desserts of a reasonable size. Compared to similar restaurants, thr size is way too small.

Iain Morrison: Fabulous spot for a relaxing coffee or good food. Menu covers from breakfast to beyond. Very popular at certain times of the day but ample seating inside and great outdoor space for this time of year. Very pleasant staff and a wide ranging library upstairs with books to satisfy all tastes. Wi-Fi a bit hit and miss but if you don’t really need it, you’ll survive with the ambience and books (just pretend it’s 1995).
wootwoot joma: Just saw this on the web and wanted to try out a cafe that serves breakfast meals that is served even at a later day. To see reviews isa one thing but to experience it,is a validation. Ambience is really quiet and relaxing to enjoy their food. Fairly priced. I enjoyed everything on my plate and drinks.

Fahad AK: Quite a nice place. Have indoor and outdoor seating arrangements. Menu is balanced and well crafted. Pricing is fine too. Ambience and decor is well managed and it looks good. Spacious sofas n all. Near to Corniche and it should be must visit.

Qingwei Tian: At the night when I can see the strawberry super moon, I went to that cafe for the second time. Tiramisu and latte they offered was so nice. The price is also quite affordable. With all lights the cafe is pretty at night. Staff here are very friendly π I finished Borgesβ first poetry collection here. A really nice place to read, chat and chill.

Waza28: A hidden gem in Abu Dhabi for bookworms. Sort of like a library with a coffee shop. Cafe consists of two floors. Downstairs serves food. Upstairs is more quiet and spacious. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. Big windows with a view of the city. Plenty of books to read on local culture and fiction. Giant Teddy bears. This is a great place to come and study or chill with friends. Excellent customer service. Friendly and polite staff. Parking space is available.

Rain
Address :
Mohammed Bin Khalifa St – Al Nahyan – Zone 1 – Abu Dhabi
Sarah Ibrahim: An amazing place with nice helpful welcoming staff β€οΈ The coffee is so tasty, the tea is strong and good, the atmosphere is nice too. I always need a good place with proper facility and clean bathroom to do my work/study without distraction, and I felt so lucky finding RAIN! I recommend it for students who need a nice place to work and focus. I tried also the pistachio cake so delicious, and caramel cake was so good but too sweet for me π I hope they add some chocolate cakes. They also have healthy options (chia pudding) but I didnβt try any till now! Maybe soon.

khaoula aadad: My bestie and I Bumped to Rain when we wanted to be away from crowded cafes. The place is very instagrammable. The staff are super friendly. I took Spanish latte (our fav drink) and we ended up taking the famous Safron Milk and Pistachio cakes. The Pistachio will be my all the time Fav β₯οΈ the Safron was quite Sweet but overall super duper deliciousssss.
Chinchu Jayaprakash: Very aesthetically pleasing interiors in pink and yellow pastels. The servers are wonderful and attentive. Food was delicious but the portion sizes are massive!! It may be a good thing for some and not so much for the others :-D. I was shocked at the size of my Croque Madame; was able to have it for 3 more meals! 100% recommend the vanilla latte.

DAVID DOUGLAS: We found this delightful spot on our doorstep and have already visited twice in the last month. We went for a late breakfast the first visit. Gold, the waitress was attentive in explaining the vegan options. The presentation of the food and drinks was exquisite and tasted equally delicious. We returned yesterday for coffee and cake and will be back again soon.

Special mention to Khel, our server, who was very friendly and funny and informative as well. I liked how he took our orders, giving us info about their menu, he effectively wrote down our orders and read it back to us for confirmation. The food is delicious and very unique as well. It was a lovely experience and Iβm sure we will be back again. Special thanks also to Jericho, the barista, for making our delicious coffee. π

Art House Cafe
Address :
Al Huwelat street, Bateen Area, Opp Al Bateen – Villa No 15 – 4 Al Falah St – Abu Dhabi
Carisa Barry Pope: Such a fun experience! Great food! So much to see! Love the eclectic furniture and decor. Attached to the art gallery. There are several buildings and several places to sit. Our waitress was not friendly at all, though. She acted like we were a bother. After we ate, we painted plates. She just rudely dropped the paint, paint brushes, and plates on the table and walked away. We had to ask the young men in the restaurant to take pics of us; our waitress wouldn’t. It is such a fun experience, but our waitress could be a bit more welcoming and friendly.

How Sherry Does It: We didnt expect each serving to be a lot! Everything was scrumptious and visually appealing. Great place to hang out for a long late lunch to just chill. Friendly crew to boot as well. It’s a gem we were lucky to discover. Definitely coming back soon.

Farah Kamal Abighanam: Perfection! That was my feeling when I tasted the salmon plate there. I ordered the dish randomly and it ended to be actual art. The salmon is soo tasty, the skin is crunchy and the aroma is amazing. The rice is cooked with coconut oil or milk and creamy just enough! The vegetables are well cooked and they add to the dish as their taste is yum!!!! And the sauce is so good! All of that lasts till the last bite! I’ve tried burgers and wraps before and were so good as well, but this salmon is just some other thing! Some table are a bit uncomfortable for tall people as there is no enough space for the legs.
Jasper Jayson Pernes: The food is great, they have wide selection of breakfast menu available all day, serving size are good enough for sharing. The place is well lit and the ambience is very modern. We love the food and will definitley dine again. The staff are very accommodating as well.

Shagufta Jahan: We celebrated our kids birthday there. We always loved their shakes and pancakes, but this time we tried many new dishes. And loved them.

The waiter was so kind to offer my 2 daughters ice-cream after they have finished their breakfast. Also the breakfast comes with complimentary tea for 4. I will definitely go back again!
