Use Parking. For a longer visit, use the mall parking rather than relying on takeaway access, which one review found difficult in heavy traffic.
Adjust Sweetness. If you prefer a less-sweet drink, ask whether the matcha sweetness can be served separately.
Check Timing. Avoid peak periods if you are ordering a specialty V60; one customer reported a 45-minute wait during a problematic visit.
Order Aseeda. For a first dessert choice, try the aseeda: reviews describe it as rich, balanced, warm and comforting.

A customer reported waiting 45 minutes for an iced V60 cherry, alongside concerns that the drink was not cold enough.
Some matcha drinks may run sweet; reviews specifically suggest serving the sweetness on the side.
Curbside pickup can be awkward because traffic makes the pickup area difficult to reach and locate.
The Bottom Line
Como Lounge in Mirdif is a cafe for breakfast, specialty coffee, matcha and desserts, with a cozy, modern setting that reviewers describe as clean and welcoming. Breakfast is a strong reason to come: customers mention the French toast, egg and cheese croissant, Eggs Benedict and Como Benedict. The aseeda is another standout, praised for its rich, warm and balanced flavour.
Drinks are more mixed but still give you plenty to explore. Matcha is one of the most consistently praised choices, including salted vanilla, strawberry and coconut-milk versions. Coffee reviews include excellent flat whites, cappuccino, V60 brews and a signature macchiato, although one customer reported a very poor latte later the same day and another disliked an iced V60 cherry.
Service is a clear strength in most reviews, with repeated mentions of attentive, welcoming staff and regular check-ins. Families may also appreciate a review describing patient, playful interaction with a toddler. Prices are often considered reasonable for the quality.
For a calmer visit, try a weekday morning. If you plan to work or linger, mall parking is available, while curbside pickup can be frustrating because of traffic and a hard-to-find pickup area. If your matcha preference is less sweet, ask about having the sweetness served separately.
