The Good Stuff
Tiramisu cake
The tiramisu cake was described as fresh, creamy and well-balanced, making it a strong birthday-cake choice.
Breakfast
Breakfast favourites include avocado toast with orange juice, apple pie, eggs with mixed fruits and coffee.
Coffee beans
One reviewer specifically noted the use of Italian Arabica beans and rated the coffee highly.
Cosy setting
The café is repeatedly described as cosy, clean and welcoming, with warm lighting and chill music.
Milk options
Customers looking for non-dairy coffee can choose from several alternative-milk options.
Fresh pastries
Reviews mention fresh croissants, baguettes and fruit tart, with coffee pairing well with the pastries.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check freshness. For delivery, ask when sliced items were baked; one banana-bread slice was reportedly three to four days old.
Confirm messages. For birthday delivery, reconfirm any cake inscription before dispatch; one order arrived without its requested message.
Use RTA parking. Front parking may be limited, so allow time to use the paid RTA spots mentioned by a customer.
Choose outdoors. If indoor seating matters, note that a reviewer found it uncomfortable but described the outdoor seats as lovely.
Try almond. The almond croissant is a safer first pastry pick than the chocolate croissant, which one reviewer found more like a butter bun.
Order off-peak. The café is small and one customer waited while staff handled other orders, so quieter periods may be easier for cake collection.

The Bottom Line
French Bakery is a café and cake shop in Dubai Silicon Oasis where you can sit down for breakfast, pair coffee with pastries, or order a cake for a birthday. The almond croissants receive especially detailed praise for being flaky, nutty and not overly sweet. The tiramisu cake is another reliable-sounding choice, with one birthday order described as fresh and balanced.
Breakfast is a significant part of the appeal. Reviews mention avocado toast with orange juice, eggs with mixed fruits, apple pie, pancakes and coffee, while the café itself is repeatedly described as cosy, clean and welcoming. One coffee review notes Italian Arabica beans, and another says alternative milk choices are available.
The indoor space is small, with only two tables in one account; outdoor seats may be more comfortable. Quality is not perfectly consistent, particularly with delivery and some breakfast items. A banana-bread slice was reportedly several days old, one carrot cake arrived extremely hard, and a pancake order was described as stale.
If ordering a celebration cake, reconfirm the inscription before dispatch: one customer’s requested birthday message was missed. Parking directly outside can be difficult, although paid RTA spaces are available. Prices were described as reasonable by one reviewer and slightly high by another, so expectations may depend on the order.
