Tips for a Better Visit
Try Spanish Latte. Order the hot Spanish latte if you prefer a balanced drink that is not overly sweet.
Share Desserts. If you dislike very sweet pastries, consider sharing a dessert; one reviewer found the sweets overly sugary.
Plan The Walk. Allow a little extra time to find the cafe because one reviewer found it away from the usual mall thoroughfares.
Choose Truffle. For a more distinctive dessert, look for the black truffle dessert, which was singled out as brilliant.
Take A Break. The quieter setting makes it a useful place to pause during a long mall walk.

The Bottom Line
Arte is a Dubai Mall cafe in Downtown Dubai focused on handcrafted coffee, cakes and pastries with an artistic presentation. It suits a coffee-and-dessert pause rather than a quick grab-and-go stop, especially if you want to try the Spanish latte, matcha or one of the more elaborate desserts. The Spanish latte has been praised for being balanced and not too sweet.
Dessert standouts include the black truffle dessert, the coffee bean chocolate cake with creamy layers and a crunchy base, and the mango coconut dessert. Reviews also give the croissants and pain au chocolats unusually specific praise for their flaky, buttery pastry and proper chocolate filling. The atmosphere is a major part of the appeal: customers describe a cosy, elegant space with garden-like styling, attractive presentation and a quieter feel than much of the mall.
It can, however, be slightly out of the way from the usual Dubai Mall thoroughfares. One reviewer found the sweets overly sugary, so guests who prefer restrained desserts may want to choose carefully or share. There are no customer-reported prices in the supplied reviews.
