“I went for a classic: the croissant with egg and a side of ice latte. The croissant itself was pretty great. Flaky, buttery, and the perfect amount of crunch without being a complete mess. The scrambled eggs were cooked well, creamy and soft, which was a nice contrast to the pastry. It’s a simple dish, but they did it right.”

Visit off-peak. Choose a quieter time if you want leisurely service: reviews say busy periods can bring waiting and a rushed pace.
Share dishes. Consider sharing larger plates such as pancakes or açaí bowls, especially when dining with a group.
Try avo toast. The Next level avo toast is a standout recommendation from one reviewer and was rated 10/10.
Check cooling. On a hot day, confirm the AC is working before settling in; one visit had several hours without it.
Use basement parking. Drivers can look for parking in the basement of the Wasl 51 complex.

One visit was uncomfortable because the air conditioning stopped working for several hours; fans were offered instead.
Crowded occasions can mean a wait and more rushed service, so it may not suit a tight schedule.
One reviewer felt the bill was high relative to the food, especially when paying partly for the photogenic setting.
A reviewer found the V60 over-roasted, despite generally positive comments about the coffee.
One diner disliked the amount of garnish, saying flowers appeared across the eggs, drinks and other dishes.
The Bottom Line
Brunch & Cake Wasl 51 is a bright, highly styled brunch restaurant in Jumeirah where presentation is part of the experience. The menu suits a slow breakfast, a family outing or a group meal: reviewers specifically mention Classic French Toast, Turkish eggs, avocado toast and generous sharing plates. Cakes and coffee also give you a reason to stay beyond the main course.
The strongest pattern in the reviews is attentive hospitality. Diners describe staff as friendly and proactive, with small touches such as adjusting a curtain when the sun reached a table. The colourful interiors, outdoor seating and lively atmosphere make the restaurant especially appealing for a photogenic brunch, while the children’s playground and outdoor domes are useful for families.
There are a few practical caveats. The restaurant can become crowded, bringing waiting times and occasionally rushed service, so a quieter period is preferable if you are on a schedule. One reviewer also reported that the AC stopped working for several hours, and another found the V60 over-roasted.
Pricing was described as a little high by one diner, although another called an afternoon tea package affordable and noted that it included two drinks. Basement parking is available within the Wasl 51 complex.
