The Bottom Line

Friends Avenue Cafe Silicon Oasis is a breakfast-and-brunch café in Dubai Silicon Oasis, and breakfast is the clearest reason to come. Reviews mention French toast repeatedly, alongside avocado toast, shakshuka and steak and eggs. Coffee is another dependable draw, with positive notes on cappuccino, Americano and cinnamon latte.

There is plenty beyond morning plates. Customers have enjoyed the Korean BBQ bowl, Korean chicken rice, jerk chicken and the Nutty Professor Açaí bowl, while the peanut butter milkshake and fresh juices add non-coffee choices. Portions are often described as generous, and the menu includes kid-friendly meals.

The interior gets consistent praise for its warm, modern look, greenery and relaxed music. It can suit a slow breakfast, a catch-up or some laptop time, although one reviewer found the seating congested. Service is generally described as friendly and attentive, with one isolated report of a long wait.

A couple of details are worth checking before you order. The Pulled Beef Benedict was no longer on the menu in one recent visit, and the carrot cake was criticised as bland despite being fresh. Matcha opinions are mixed, so coffee may be the safer first drink.

Pricing feedback is also split between very good value and slightly high for the offering.
