What do visitors think about Bakerist in Dubai?

⭐ The food and service are excellent! A must-visit place if you’re in Dubai.

⭐ We had a great time at the café. The interior is really beautiful and a refreshing change from the usual minimalist décor. We ordered a croissant, chocolate, mango and raspberry éclair, and a latte. My favorite was the chocolate one: crispy, flaky, and rich. The coffee was average. I’ll definitely visit again.

⭐ Recently, my friends and I visited Bakerist in Dubai Hills and had a wonderful experience. The hospitality from Russell and Vincent was amazing—they were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The service was excellent, and the giant croissant was absolutely delicious. If you go, we highly recommend talking to Vincent and Russell before deciding what to order; they’ll guide you to the best options. I highly recommend this place for excellent food and even better vibes.

⭐ We tried the modern giant croissant and coffee here at Bakerist Bluewaters. The croissant was delicious and so was the coffee. We enjoyed dining here because the staff were very kind, friendly, and offered exemplary service. The restaurant atmosphere is very relaxed and accommodating too. We’ll definitely come back and try more from the food and pastry menu.

⭐ What a place! That’s all I can say. I found it because I was staying at the Hilton across the street, and it’s located inside the Galleria Mall. I tried the Lotus cappuccino and the double chocolate puff. All I can say is: WOW. It was the best Lotus cappuccino I’ve ever had, and the double chocolate puff complemented it perfectly. It was so moist and chocolatey that I had to come back again during my six-day stay at the hotel. The second time, I went for the chocolate roll and, once again, the Lotus cappuccino, because it was too good to resist. The roll was excellent and filled with chocolate inside. The service was very good, and there’s both indoor and outdoor seating with a view of the rink. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re craving something sweet or love pastries. My only regret is not discovering it sooner. If I come back to Dubai Palm, I’ll definitely return. Thank you, Bakerist!.
