“A great place to go, especially if you need to work. I love the coffee, I had a almond croissant which I felt had too much paste and very sweet, it wasn’t what I was expecting but I’ll give it a chance and order another one next time to just see if it was an off day.”

“The staff would completely ignore us, took 45 mins to make a sad French toast made with two buns and a spoon of Nutella. A 4 yr old child could have done a better job. Horrible service, expensive and below average food.”

Weekend Deal. Check the weekend breakfast deal: one review reports an all-you-can-eat spread for 69 AED.
Check Kids Rules. If bringing a toddler, confirm the children’s pricing before accepting extras; one family was charged for a child’s all-you-can-eat meal.
Plan Timing. For smoother service, consider avoiding the busiest brunch periods, when reviewers have reported delays and stretched staffing.
Try Small Plates. The breakfast format uses smaller portions, which can be useful if you want to sample several dishes without wasting food.
Ask About Parking. Drivers should ask or check on arrival about parking, as one customer specifically reported free parking.
Plan the visit
A packed Saturday visit was uncomfortably hot, with the reviewer believing the restaurant AC was off.
Portion expectations are mixed, with some guests finding servings smaller than expected, especially outside the tasting format.
The dining room has been described as oddly shaped and cramped during summer, while the poolside setting may not suit everyone.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Circle Cafe in Shorooq is a casual restaurant that stands out for breakfast. The weekend all-you-can-eat format lets diners try several dishes, while the regular menu includes brioche French toast, avocado toast, shakshouka and the Asianchiksilog. Coffee is another recurring positive, and reviews often describe the food as fresh and well presented.
The breakfast deal has been reported at 69 AED, including one coffee or tea in one review. Smaller servings can work well for sampling multiple dishes, although portion expectations are not consistent: some guests found them filling, while others felt they were too small. Vegetarian diners have several named choices, including beetroot avocado toast and a breakfast bowl with pesto sauce.
Families get practical touches such as a children’s play area visible from the dining room, colouring paper in one review and a separate relaxing area for nursing mothers. One customer also reported free parking. The atmosphere is usually described as cosy, calm and suitable for catching up or working, though the space has been called cramped in summer and sits beside a pool.
Service is often warm and attentive, but busy periods can bring long waits, missing items and stretched staffing. A recent Saturday review also reported uncomfortable heat when the AC appeared to be off, so timing and current conditions are worth checking.
