This cafe is such a hidden gem that I always visit whenever in the near. The staff are always cheerful with a smile and the sitting is cosy facing festival city lake. Bet you can def get the best view in the night for the imagine water show. Nothing beats good coffee and lovely cake as a little afternoon treat.

I had a wonderful dining experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing waiter. From the moment we sat down, Delsi made us feel welcome and ensured that everything went smoothly. The service was impeccable, and they were attentive without being intrusive. They took the time to recommend great dishes, and their knowledge of the menu really added to our experience. I truly appreciate their friendly and professional demeanor—it made our meal even more enjoyable. Thank you so much for making our visit memorable!"

A unique and artistic experience. Great presentation. The place is more than a restaurant or a coffee shop, they do sell some products. I went for a snack and coffee. It was great. Good quality. The food was nice, and so was the coffee. The staff are very attentive, great service. The sitting area is excellent, so is the view. Prices are reasonable, and even the bill looks unique. Would definitely come again.

Best signature coffee at Dubai Festival City Mall! It is inside a furniture store, and the view over the canal is amazing. The best thing is that there is always a space as it feels like this is a secret place. I tried their Ethiopian beans and the coffee was tasty and strong. They also have a variety of desserts. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I’d recommend it to watch the shows and occasionally the fireworks at Festival City

It’s really a great cafe in Festival City Mall. After stepping into the shop, you will see so many adorable decorations of house. Lovely. The coffee taste, to be honest, for me it’s okay and average, but not feel amazed. Service is not bad, you can press the buttons on the table. And the staff will help you everything. The best part is the atmosphere here. You have to sit by the window, chatting with friends and meanwhile tasting the coffee are really enjoyable.
