The Good Stuff
Park Terrace
Outdoor seating beside Al Ittihad Park gives the café a calm setting, with birdsong and park views mentioned by reviewers.
Eastern European
The breakfast menu includes Russian and Eastern European favourites, with syrniki, draniki and Kiev-style cutlet receiving particular attention.
Family Friendly
Families have a small playground opposite the café, while the menu includes plenty of options for children.
Pizza Oven
The café has a full-size pizza oven, and one reviewer called its pizza the best they had eaten in years.
Fresh Pastries
Customers mention fresh pastries, good coffee and a calm interior suited to a coffee break or meeting a friend.
Easy Parking
One review specifically reports that parking was not a problem, useful for drivers visiting the Palm.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Pets. If you are bringing a dog, confirm the current policy first: a recent review says pets are no longer allowed.
Plan Timing. Breakfast is available until 2pm, with lunch starting at noon, so late breakfast is an option.
Expect Light Portions. If you have a large appetite, allow for smaller breakfast servings; one reviewer found the porridge insufficiently filling.
Choose Outdoors. For a quieter visit, consider the terrace: a reviewer found it calmer than the nearby West Beach promenade and enjoyed the park setting.
Verify Offers. Check any advertised discounts before ordering; one guest said a 10% Zomato offer was not accepted.

Common Concerns
Slow Service
Several reviews describe delayed attention, including repeated waits for a waitress even when the café was not full.
Pet Confusion
Recent reviews say pets are no longer allowed, while another guest reported seeing a dog inside, making the policy unclear.
Small Portions
Breakfast portions can feel light: one reviewer found the porridge unfulfilling and extra berries on crepes cost more.
Inconsistent Food
Food quality was uneven in some visits, including a pizza reported as flat and cold and a Napoleon cake described as mostly cream.
Weak WiFi
The WiFi was described as really bad, which may matter if you plan to work from the café.

The Bottom Line
Café De Palma is a light, plant-filled café in Jumeirah for breakfast, lunch or an unhurried coffee. Breakfast is a major draw, with reviewers mentioning the beef salad, Kiev cutlet, shrimp orzo and pizza alongside healthier choices such as zucchini draniki with salmon. Breakfast runs until 2pm, while lunch starts at noon.
The setting is one of its clearest strengths. The terrace looks towards Al Ittihad Park, and guests describe a quieter, relaxing atmosphere with birdsong, plants and natural textures. Families may appreciate the small playground opposite the café, and parking has been described as trouble-free.
Coffee, pastries and a full-size pizza oven add reasons to drop in beyond breakfast. Service is less predictable. Some visitors report warm, attentive hospitality, but others waited several minutes for acknowledgement, chased staff for table service or received a wrong order without an apology.
Food quality has also varied between visits, from outstanding breakfasts and excellent carbonara to cold pizza or disappointing desserts. WiFi was described as poor. Dog owners should check the current rule before arriving: older reviews call it pet-friendly, while recent reviews say pets are no longer allowed.
Portions can feel small, particularly the porridge, and a Zomato discount was reportedly refused, so confirm offers and expectations at the start.
