The Good Stuff
Pasta portions
One pasta order was described as enough for two people, including the aglio olio and Alfredo options.
Family friendly
Staff were reported to be friendly with an infant, and children enjoyed the ice cream.
Discount option
The Entertainer app was accepted, and one reviewer said staff helped find the best available offer.
Breakfast value
A breakfast of pancakes and French toast included complimentary coffee and fresh juice, with parking validation at La Mer Beach.
Gelato variety
Customers mention a wide choice of ice cream flavours, including natural-tasting gelato and plenty of options.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check sizes. Ask for the exact ice-cream size and price before paying; one reviewer said the smaller cup was available inside.
Use Entertainer. Check the Entertainer app before ordering, as reviewers reported that it works for discounts and can reduce the bill.
Allow time. Build in extra time for breakfast, since an omelette reportedly took 45 minutes and another Sunday breakfast ran beyond 30 minutes.
Ask for attention. If staff do not notice you, ask directly for help with extra items or the bill; one reviewer suggested a buzzer.
Validate parking. Keep your parking token and ask for validation when paying; a reviewer said the La Mer Beach garage token was validated.
Choose seating. For a beach view without wind, sit inside: one breakfast group moved indoors because of strong wind and still had a sea view.

The Bottom Line
Cafe Divino La Mer is a coffee shop in Jumeirah where the beach setting is as much part of the appeal as the menu. You can come for breakfast, order pizzas or pasta, and finish with ice cream or gelato. Reviews specifically praise the pizzas, spaghetti bolognese, and generous pasta portions; one reviewer said a single pasta was enough for two people.
The atmosphere is generally described as sunny, comfortable and beachy, with outdoor seating and views of the sea. 5-year-old and an infant, while children enjoyed the ice cream. Parking is available at La Mer Beach, and one customer said the garage token was validated at payment.
The main caution is inconsistency. Some visits had quick service and good-value breakfasts, but others involved 30–45-minute waits, missed orders or staff who were difficult to get hold of. Ice-cream pricing also deserves attention: customers reported being charged more for larger cups or paying 74 AED for two cones.
Ask about size and price before ordering, and check the Entertainer app for discounts.
