Highly recommend reasonable price!”

Drinks 8

  1. Afternoon tea Net +1
    “Perfect festive afternoon tea at Armani Café. Christmas ambience was lovely, the coffee and desserts were delicious.”
  2. Cold caramel latte Net +1
    “We ordered a cold Caramel Latte and a flat white. Caramel Latte - 6/10 Flat white - 7/10”
  3. Double espresso Net +1
    “The Double Espresso waits with patience. Its golden crema breathes warmth; bitterness becomes velvet, softened with caramel hush and roasted almond warmth.”
  4. Espresso Net +1
    “Wonderful experience enjoying a perfectly crafted espresso, served with a delightful chocolate coin on the side. The balance of rich, smooth coffee and a touch of sweetness made it feel truly special. A simple moment, elevated beautifully.”
  5. Flat white Net +1
    “We ordered a cold Caramel Latte and a flat white. Caramel Latte - 6/10 Flat white - 7/10”
  6. Gold cappuccino Net +1
    “Stopped by Armani Caffè for a little luxury indulgence, and of course we had to try their signature gold cappuccino. It definitely looks the part — a thin sheet of gold flakes resting on top, very elegant and absolutely Instagram-friendly. Taste-wise, the coffee is decent, smooth, and enjoyable, though nothing mind-blowing. Let’s be honest, the gold is really what steals the show.”
  7. Hazelnut latte Net +1
    “Bang at the center of fashion avenue, Armani Caffe has always been our favorite for their specialty coffees. Must try pistachio latte and hazelnut latte! Food is nice with subtle and elevated flavors. Presentation is always on point. Server “Joy” always takes good care of us and serves with a smile 😊”
  8. Iced latte Net +1
    “On another visit, I tried the Iced Latte, which was smooth and refreshing—just the right balance of coffee and milk.”

  1. Regular latte Net 0

    Only neutral feedback

    “The pistachio latte didn’t have any pistachio flavor, just sprinkled pistachios on top. The regular latte was okay but quite average for the price.”
What to Avoid (5)

Food 4

  1. Armani pizza Net −1
    “The Armani pizza was not good at all; the combination of meat and truffle with so much oil felt poorly balanced.”
  2. Mango cake Net −1
    “I ordered a mango cake, but it tasted very strange and did not seem fresh. When I informed the waiter, he took the cake away and later returned, saying that it was normal and that it was supposed to taste that way. After further discussion, he eventually agreed to replace it with another cake.”
  3. Rigatoni al tartufo pasta Net −1
    “The Rigatoni al Tartufo pasta was actually undercooked.”
  4. Spinach and mushroom omelette Net −1
    “My spinach and mushroom omelette was served undercooked, and when I requested a replacement, the staff reacted in an unprofessional way. The new dish was also incorrect, as it came with cheese even though I had clearly asked for no cheese from the beginning. On top of that, the plate was not clean and there was a hair in the food, which was very unpleasant. Overall, both the food quality and the service were below expectations.”

Drinks 1

  1. Pot of coffee Net −1
    “We ordered a pot of coffee (for two) at the Armani cafe. They brought us two glasses for coffee and a pot with just some coffee drips at the bottom. When we asked where the coffee was, the manager told us there was enough coffee for one person (though they had originally brought glasses for two).”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Confirm bookings. Allow extra time with a reservation: one guest waited because there was no separate queue for booked tables.

2

Check portions. If ordering a coffee pot for two, confirm the quantity before it arrives; one review reported only a few drips.

The Bottom Line

Armani Caffè is a polished Italian café-restaurant in Downtown Dubai’s Dubai Mall, particularly appealing for a calm coffee break or an unhurried meal away from the mall’s bustle. You can come for breakfast, lunch, coffee and dessert; reviews specifically mention avocado toast, poached eggs, ravioli, bruschetta, gold tiramisu and the signature gold cappuccino. The setting is the main draw.

Customers describe it as elegant, sophisticated and surprisingly relaxing in the middle of Dubai Mall. Desserts are a strong point, with gold tiramisu, honey cake, cheesecakes and raspberry cheesecake all receiving favourable mentions. Coffee feedback is more mixed: the pistachio and hazelnut lattes attract attention, while the gold cappuccino is mainly valued for its gold-flake presentation.

Service can be excellent, but it is not reliably so. Some visits featured warm, attentive hospitality, while others involved long waits, missed desserts and staff who failed to respond. Pricing is firmly premium: one review lists a regular latte at 42 AED, a pistachio latte at 48 AED and Nocciola at 85 AED.

Vegetarian diners should ask about current choices, and coffee-pot servings are worth confirming before ordering.
