Tips for a Better Visit
Try tea. Order Turkish tea with dessert; one review notes it arrived with a small piece of Turkish delight.
Ask questions. If the dessert selection feels unfamiliar, ask for an explanation; staff have been praised for describing the sweets in detail.
Consider gifts. For edible gifts, look at the packaged Turkish sweets; a reviewer specifically liked the presentation and packaging.
Compare coffees. Coffee preferences may vary, so consider Turkish coffee or cappuccino, both described positively in one detailed review.

The Bottom Line
Hafiz Mustafa 1864 is a Turkish dessert café in Al Sufouq, at Souk Madinat Jumeirah. It is a strong choice when you want traditional sweets rather than a standard coffee-shop pastry: reviewers particularly mention baklava, kunafa, Turkish tea, supangle and tavuk göğsü. The baklava was described as fresh, rich and perfectly sweet, while the kunafa drew repeated praise.
The setting matters here too. Customers describe the café as calm, clean, comfortable and elegantly furnished, with some reviews mentioning a view of the Burj Al Arab. That makes it suited to a relaxed dessert stop, a Turkish tea break or time with friends and family.
One reviewer also said staff handled a young child’s little adventures well, while others praised patient explanations of the desserts. There is one clear caution: coffee feedback is not entirely consistent. A detailed review enjoyed both Turkish coffee and cappuccino, but another found the coffee very bitter.
If you are visiting for coffee specifically, that is worth bearing in mind. Pricing can also feel high, particularly for kunafa, although one customer still considered it worth the cost. For gifts, the packaged Turkish sweets received a positive mention for presentation.
