The Good Stuff
Warm Service
Reviews repeatedly describe the staff as attentive, welcoming and helpful with menu recommendations.
Breakfast
Breakfast items such as pancakes, crepes, French toast and waffle Benedict receive strong praise for taste and presentation.
Mall Setting
The café is described as cozy and comfortable, with indoor and outdoor seating and a relaxing atmosphere for a shopping break.
Generous Portions
Several reviews find the portions substantial; one guest shared a large pistachio cake rather than finishing it alone.
Dietary Variety
The menu includes lighter choices too: one customer particularly enjoyed the strawberry salad and its healthy ingredients.
Tips for a Better Visit
Go Early. Arrive early if you want the freshest choice of treats; one customer had the best selection as the first visitor of the day.
Share Cake. Consider sharing a dessert: a reviewer found the pistachio cake large enough for two people.
Check Payment. If you plan to pay by QR, check that it is working before settling in, since one review reported waiting for the bill.
Try Arabic Coffee. For a traditional drink pairing, order Arabic hot coffee with dates; both were specifically enjoyed together.
Allow Time. The café can be busy on Friday evenings, although one visitor still found an indoor table within a minute.
Find Kinokuniya. Use Kinokuniya or the metro entrance as landmarks when locating the café inside Dubai Mall.

The Bottom Line
Arto Coffee is a dessert-and-coffee stop inside Dubai Mall in Downtown Dubai, with a distinctly pink, teddy-bear-filled interior and a comfortable café atmosphere. It suits a shopping break, solo coffee or casual breakfast. Reviews highlight the Date Pudding, tiramisu, cheesecakes and cakes, while the coffee menu ranges from Americano and Turkish coffee to Arabic hot coffee and more unusual drinks such as pistachio latte.
Breakfast is more than an afterthought. Guests have enjoyed pancakes, crepes, fresh orange juice, granola with fruit and honey, and a highly praised French toast. The strawberry salad is another useful choice if you want something lighter.
Portions can be generous: one reviewer shared a very large pistachio cake, and the warm Date Pudding comes with vanilla ice cream and caramel. Service is one of Arto’s consistent strengths, with reviews describing attentive staff who help with recommendations. There is indoor and outdoor seating, though the café can be busy during Friday evenings.
Prices are not universally seen as low; one guest called the shake and tiramisu slightly pricey, although another felt larger portions balanced the cost. Also check QR payment before ordering, as one customer reported it was not working.
