The Good Stuff
Sweet treats
Waffles, pancakes, mini pancakes, crepes and brownie with ice cream give dessert-focused visits plenty to choose from.
Fresh smoothies
The raspberry smoothie uses an apple-juice base with no added sugar, offering a lighter alternative to the shakes.
Beach setting
The La Mer location has a charming, distinctive look and outdoor seating in the middle of the beach area.
Friendly staff
Several reviews describe warm, helpful service, including staff accommodating requests for no ice and no sugar.
Savoury bites
The chicken tikka sandwich and wrap received positive comments for flavour, and reviewers found the portions suitable for a meal with a shake.
Fair pricing
Customers often describe the prices as reasonable or affordable, including for smoothies, ice cream and drinks.
Tips for a Better Visit
Visit later. After sunset is specifically recommended, and outdoor seating is available for enjoying the La Mer setting.
Customise drinks. Ask for adjustments such as no ice or no sugar; one reviewer said the team accommodated both requests.
Try lighter. For a less sugary option, ask about the raspberry smoothie made with an apple-juice base and no sugar.
Check promotions. Confirm that any displayed deal applies to the La Mer branch before ordering, as one customer found a branch restriction.
Allow time. If you are visiting during a busy spell, allow extra time: reviews mention rushed service, late orders and forgotten items.

The Bottom Line
Keventers at La Mer is a dessert-and-drinks cafe for milkshakes, smoothies, waffles and casual savoury food. The strongest pattern in the reviews is the shakes: Ferrero Roche, pistachio, strawberry, hazelnut and chocolate all get favourable mentions. The raspberry smoothie, made with an apple-juice base and no sugar, gives you a lighter alternative.
Dessert is not limited to drinks. Customers mention lotus waffles, mini pancakes with Lotus and Nutella, brownie with ice cream, crepes and pancakes. The chicken tikka sandwich and wrap add a more substantial option, with one reviewer saying the serving was enough for a meal with a shake.
Some found the brownie or shakes too sweet, and one reviewer thought the waffle lacked richness despite liking its texture and ice cream. The cafe sits in the middle of La Mer in Jumeirah, with a distinctive, charming setting and outdoor seating. After sunset is a commonly suggested time to visit.
Service feedback is mixed: staff are often described as friendly and accommodating, but several reviews mention slow orders, forgotten items or disorganisation when busy. Coffee also seems less reliable than the signature drinks. Check promotions at the counter, since one offer was reportedly unavailable at this branch.
