The Good Stuff
Honey Cake
Honey cake is a long-standing favourite, with reviewers describing it as light, fresh and central to their repeat visits.
Coffee Value
A cappuccino was reported at 7 Dirhams, making the café side notably affordable for a coffee-and-cake stop.
Breakfast Stop
The menu works beyond desserts: reviews specifically praise the shakshuka, syrniki and well-cooked eggs.
Cozy Setting
The renovated branch is described as clean, comfortable and calm, with a suitable atmosphere for sitting with coffee and sweets.
Broad Selection
Customers mention a wide range of cakes, pastries, baked goods and snacks, including options for different occasions.
Tips for a Better Visit
Book Ahead. For a custom cake, order at least two days before the event; also reconfirm that every pickup item is ready.
Check Freshness. Before gifting or serving a cake, check its production date and condition, as reviews report dry cakes and a disputed date sticker.
Confirm Texture. Ask how a less familiar cake such as Kyiv cake should be served or cut, since one customer found it almost impossible to slice.
Allow Buffer. Leave extra time for birthday pickups rather than arriving just before the event; one order was still incomplete at 11:30.
Parking Available. If you are driving for a cake pickup or dine-in visit, a review specifically notes that parking is available.

The Bottom Line
Katrina Sweets and Confectionery in Mirdif combines a cake shop with a café-style setting. You can sit down for coffee and pastries, order breakfast such as shakshuka or syrniki, or arrange a celebration cake. Honey cake is the clearest signature: long-time customers return to it, while caramel cream Profiteroles are another named favourite.
Custom cakes are a major draw. Reviews describe designs that matched a supplied photo, including a birthday cake with a character that looked like the child, and a detailed Alice in Wonderland theme. The shop is also described as clean, comfortable and recently renovated, with parking noted in one review.
A cappuccino was reported at 7 Dirhams, and off-the-shelf cakes were previously described as generally costing 100–200 AED; treat these as customer-reported prices rather than a current menu. The main caution is consistency around freshness and fulfilment. Some customers received dry, stale or exceptionally hard cakes, while birthday orders were delayed or incomplete.
For an important event, confirm the pickup contents and production date in advance, and allow a time buffer. Custom cake orders were advised at least two days ahead.
