The Good Stuff
Large portions
Several customers found the portions generous, including one review that called them huge and worth the money.
Cosy setting
The decor, seating and calm atmosphere work well for studying, relaxing or meeting friends.
Fresh fruit
Reviews repeatedly describe the fruit as fresh, including in fruit mixes and dessert dishes.
Custom orders
The kitchen accommodated a waffle customised with Oreos and white chocolate.
Friendly welcome
Welcoming service is a recurring positive, with customers describing the staff as friendly and kind.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check prices. Confirm the current price before ordering and paying; one customer saw AED30 on the menu but was charged AED48.
Ask ingredients. If nuts or crunchy textures matter, ask for the ingredients directly: a customer was told a crepe had none but found hazelnuts.
Avoid peak hours. Visit outside busy periods if possible, as one review specifically reported slower service during peak hours.
Try mango. The mango juice is a sensible first order based on a review that called it the star and a must to try.
Confirm toppings. Ask what toppings are included if you want chocolate sauce or whipped cream, since one customer said they were not added.

The Bottom Line
Fruit Time is a juice shop and dessert café in Al Barsha where you can order fresh juices, fruit cocktails, fruit salads, crepes and waffles. The mango juice gets a specific recommendation, while Ashaty and fruit mixes also appear regularly in the positive reviews. Portions are sometimes described as huge, which helps explain why some customers consider the sweets good value.
The setting is one of its clearer strengths. Customers mention attractive decor, comfortable seating and a calm atmosphere that works for studying or hanging out with friends. A customised waffle with Oreos and white chocolate was also prepared on request, so it is worth asking about adjustments rather than assuming the menu is fixed.
There is some inconsistency, especially with service and crepes. One visitor received a cold crepe; another found a banana-chocolate crepe dry and tasteless. Service may be slow at peak times, and ingredient communication has caused trouble: a customer was told a crepe had nothing crunchy but found hazelnuts throughout.
Check ingredients carefully if allergies or texture sensitivities matter. Also confirm prices before paying: one review reported an AED30 menu price becoming AED48 at billing. Topping expectations are worth clarifying too, particularly for chocolate sauce and whipped cream.
