The Good Stuff
Garlic Bread
The Korean garlic cream cheese bread has a crispy exterior and a creamy, sweet-garlicky filling.
Good Value
Customers describe the pastries and bread as affordable, with a soft Nutella bread reported at around 7aed.
Drink Choice
Bubble milk tea, fruit tea and café latte all receive positive mentions, making it more than a bread-only stop.
Cosy Setting
One visitor described the shop as small but comfortable, with enough space to eat, drink and relax.
Tips for a Better Visit
Order First. If you want to sit, place your order first; one visitor felt unwelcome after taking a seat before ordering.
Check Sugar. Ask about reducing the sugar in bubble tea if you prefer a less sweet drink; one customer had to add water.
Check Calories. If calorie tracking matters, ask about ingredients because a review says calorie information is not printed on the packaging.
Try Nutella. For a budget-friendly sweet bite, look for the soft Nutella bread, reported at around 7aed.
Try Savoury. For something beyond sweet pastries, consider the BBQ loaf, which one customer returned for repeatedly after trying it.

The Bottom Line
Butter & Bread is a small bakery in Deira where you can pick up fresh Asian breads, pastries, cakes and drinks. The strongest recurring draw is the bread, particularly the Korean garlic cream cheese bread, whose crispy outside and creamy, sweet-garlicky filling earned a detailed thumbs-up. The shop also has a comfortable eat-in corner rather than being purely takeaway.
There is plenty to explore beyond that signature loaf. Customers mention the egg tart, BBQ loaf, Dorayaki Cake and soft Nutella bread, while bubble milk tea, fruit tea and café latte give it a café-like side. Value is a clear plus: one review puts the soft Nutella bread at around 7aed, and other customers call the pricing fair or affordable.
Service is mostly described as friendly and accommodating, but the experience is not perfectly consistent. Separate reviews report a rude manager, an unwelcoming seating interaction and a counter staff member who seemed unhappy to serve. Check your items if buying ahead, too: one customer complained about an apparently expired item and a refused exchange.
Bubble tea may run sweet, so ask about sugar if that matters to you. Calorie information is reportedly missing from packaging, which is worth checking if you are tracking intake.
