The Bottom Line

Brunch & Cake at City Centre is an all-day dining restaurant where breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee and dessert can all fit into the same visit. Breakfast is a major draw: reviews mention the breakfast pizza, French toast and good-sized portions. The cake counter is just as prominent, with the carrot cake, Lemon Chiffon Almond Cake and cheesecakes receiving specific praise.

The setting does much of the work. Customers describe an attractive Mediterranean-style interior, a clean and comfortable atmosphere, and seating inside or in the mall’s open atrium area. One reviewer found it quiet even on a busy weekend, though another found it noisy.

Staff are often praised for being warm and helpful when explaining dishes or suggesting gluten-free choices, which is useful if you are ordering for a group. There are a few reasons to plan rather than rush. Weekend peak periods can bring waiting, and one diner waited 30 minutes for the bill.

Pricing also divides opinion: a lunch or dinner deal was reported at AED 79, while one diner considered AED 66 for Turkish eggs poor value. Vegetarian choice is limited, and fried dishes have received criticism for dryness. Ask about cake promotions, including the Arabic coffee accompaniment, when ordering.
