The Good Stuff
Breakfast Favourites
Breakfast gets strong mentions, especially the Salmon Benedict, avocado toast with salmon and syrniki.
Pastry Choice
The cabinet has a broad selection, with customers calling out flaky croissants, honey pastry, tiramisu and pain Suisse.
Cozy Pause
The café is described as peaceful and cozy, with customers using it for coffee, a quick break or an unhurried catch-up.
Friendly Service
Many reviews mention approachable, attentive staff, including teams that kept customers informed during an order.
Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid Rushes. Visit outside busy breakfast or Sunday lunchtime periods if you want quicker service; reviews describe waits and overwhelmed staff.
Check Opening. If visiting early, confirm the café is operating first; one reviewer found it closed repeatedly at the advertised 8am start.
Confirm Cakes. For an event cake, reconfirm the order and collection or delivery details close to the date because one cake order was cancelled without timely notice.
Try Syrniki. Syrniki is a useful breakfast pick: one regular customer called it their favourite menu item.
Ask Availability. Ask what is available before choosing from the menu; one visit found several menu items unavailable despite a full display cabinet.

The Bottom Line
Katrina Sweets and Confectionery in Dubai Production City is a small bakery-café that suits affordable coffee, breakfast and a pastry break. Customers mention the Salmon Benedict, avocado toast with salmon and syrniki, while the pastry counter has drawn praise for the almond croissant, honey pastry and pain Suisse. Custom birthday cakes can also be worthwhile: one customer said the finished design matched the reference exactly and tasted excellent.
Pricing is a clear attraction. A cheese croissant was reported at 6 dhs, and another review described croissants and pastries at around 5 AED per item. The café’s compact, cozy setting works for a quiet coffee, quick break or catch-up, though it can fill up at breakfast and service has sometimes been slow.
One customer waited roughly 40 minutes outside for table help, while another found dishes arrived without cutlery until they asked twice. Plan event cake orders carefully and reconfirm the details near the date; separate reviews describe late cancellations and an order being overlooked. Early visitors should also check that the café is open and equipment is running, as one reviewer repeatedly found it unavailable at 8am.
This is not a strong remote-work choice: reviews report no Wi-Fi or charging outlets.
