The Good Stuff
Signature Foam
Salted vanilla foam is a distinctive matcha topping that many customers specifically return for.
Fresh Pastries
One breakfast review found the pastries freshly baked and the croissants especially flaky.
Calm Atmosphere
The setting is described as stylish yet relaxed, suitable for catching up, quiet coffee or working.
Thoughtful Packing
For a celebration order, staff wrote the requested message on both the packaging and the drink, then added stickers.
Late Coffee
A customer visiting after midnight received a replacement coffee after a small spill and still enjoyed the atmosphere.
Tips for a Better Visit
Clarify Sweetness. If you prefer earthy matcha, ask how the drink is prepared and confirm it can be made without sugar; one review still found it sweet.
Try Coconut. For a sweeter, dessert-style order, consider matcha latte with coconut milk and salted vanilla.
Check Freshness. Before buying an almond croissant, ask whether it was baked the same day, as one customer found a croissant stale.
Allow Time. If ordering an almond croissant during a busy visit, confirm the order after placing it; one customer waited after it was forgotten.
Order Ahead. For convenience, call for pickup or use the website to place an order and provide the necessary details.

The Bottom Line
KNOT BAKEHOUSE is a bakery and café in Jumeirah with a strong following for matcha drinks, especially versions finished with salted vanilla foam. You can also come for breakfast, flaky croissants, cheesecake, waffles or desserts such as mango pudding. The reviews make the drinks the clearest reason to visit, while the bakery and casual dining menu give groups more choice.
The matcha style is generally creamy, sweet and flavour-led rather than strictly traditional. Coconut milk with salted vanilla is a popular combination, and customers also mention strawberry matcha, classic matcha and a limited-edition mango matcha. If you prefer a grassy, unsweetened cup, be careful: one visitor said the matcha was pre-made and remained noticeably sweet after asking for no sugar.
Inside, the atmosphere is often described as calm, cosy, stylish and relaxed, with some customers using it for a quiet coffee or work session. Service reviews are mostly warm, and one delivery order received a handwritten celebration message on the drink plus stickers. There are a few practical caveats.
One review found the indoor chairs uncomfortable and the air conditioning loud, while another reported a forgotten almond croissant order. Prices can feel high for portions; reported examples include 30 dirham for regular matcha and 25 dirham for a cinnamon roll.
