What to Eat at Butter How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Butter, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Butter, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try cookies. Start with the Nutella sea-salt cookie; reviewers also specifically recommend the Kinder cookie and mini cookies.
Check cake. If ordering a birthday cake, confirm its freshness before accepting it, as reviewers report sharply different cake experiences.
Order thoughtfully. For a smaller treat, consider the mini cookies, described as just enough for someone watching portions.
Budget ahead. Allow for a relatively high spend: one review put coffee with bites for two at about AED 120.
Counter ordering. If visiting with children, be aware that ordering at the counter may feel inconvenient.

Common Concerns
Cake inconsistency
Birthday cakes received mixed reviews: some were fluffy and moist, while others were described as hard, stale and impossible to cut.
High pricing
One reviewer found the birthday cake expensive, while another reported AED 120 for two people sharing coffee and bites.
Limited breakfast
The breakfast menu was described as having few choices, and the avocado toast was said to need more flavour.
Uneven service
A detailed complaint described a 30-minute wait, absent service and having to get up to request the bill.
Cookie inconsistency
The popular cookie was not equally good on every visit for one reviewer, who found the quality inconsistent.

The Bottom Line
Butter is a dessert-led café in Jumeirah’s Wasl 51, with a calm, elegant setting for coffee, cookies and cake. The strongest draw is the Nutella sea-salt cookie: reviewers describe it as soft, gooey and filled with Nutella. The Kinder cookie, birthday cookie and Oreo brownie also get specific mentions, giving you more than one sweet option to try.
Coffee is another reason to visit. Reviews range from “great” to merely fair, but several customers enjoyed it, including one who singled out the signature lavender piccolo. The café has comfortable seats, pleasant background music and a quiet atmosphere that works for a relaxed catch-up or a light breakfast.
There are a few caveats. Breakfast choices are limited, and one customer found the avocado toast under-seasoned. Cookie quality has not been perfectly consistent, and birthday cakes are a real gamble in the reviews: one was praised as fluffy and moist, while others were hard or stale.
Check freshness when collecting a cake, especially for an event. Prices can feel high: one review reported AED 120 for two people having coffee and bites, while another paid AED 150 for two Americanos, two cake slices and two small ice-cream portions. Ordering is done at the counter, which one reviewer found awkward with children.
