Order French Toast. For a first breakfast visit, consider the French toast; it is one of the clearest recurring recommendations.
Choose Coffee. If you are undecided between matcha and coffee, reviews suggest choosing coffee, especially the cappuccino.
Check Desserts. Ask about ingredients before ordering dessert if egg is a concern, as one review says every dessert contains egg.
Check Menu. If you are visiting for a particular dish, confirm availability first: the Pulled Beef Benedict was reported off the menu.
Allow Time. If timing matters, check the expected wait before ordering; one visit was slowed by lengthy service.

The carrot cake was described as fresh but bland, with one reviewer saying it lacked noticeable carrot flavour.
One review found the seating congested and not especially relaxing for a coffee break.
Strawberry matcha received a lukewarm assessment; the reviewer suggested coffee might be the safer order.
The Pulled Beef Benedict was no longer available, disappointing a guest who had visited specifically for it.
A review reported a long wait after a salmon dish was replaced, with the substitute also described as bland.
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.
