The Good Stuff
Breakfast plates
Eggs Benedict, mushroom brioche, Turkish eggs and avocado toast are repeatedly described as fresh, flavourful and filling.
Thoughtful service
Guests mention warm attention, menu guidance and small gestures including complimentary bakery treats and handwritten notes.
Large portions
Several breakfast reviews describe generous servings, including a filling Eggs Benedict and a large scrambled-egg breakfast.
Coffee
Flat whites and coffee are consistently described as good or excellent, making the bakery suitable for a coffee stop as well as breakfast.
Calm mornings
Some early and weekday visits were quiet enough for reading or a relaxed breakfast, with music described as comfortably low.
Takeaway boxes
Pastries travel well for gatherings: one customer bought a mixed box for family and received enthusiastic reactions.
Tips for a Better Visit
Arrive early. Come early for the widest pastry choice: a reviewer said several best sellers had sold out by noon.
Avoid rush. For a quieter visit, try before 9am on Sunday; one reviewer found the bakery quiet at that time.
Check parking. On weekdays, paid street parking was available directly out front, while another review also noted underground parking.
Plan seating. If visiting at Saturday lunchtime, allow extra time or choose another hour because one guest waited 25 minutes for a table.
Try signatures. Order the almond croissant or peanut-strawberry croissant if you want the pastries most often singled out by reviewers.
Short visits. The chairs may not suit a long stay, so consider coming mainly for the food rather than settling in for hours.

The Bottom Line
Laughing Bread is an artisan bakery in Al Quoz with a breakfast menu that goes beyond pastries. The almond croissant, pain au chocolat and Monkey Bread are frequent highlights, while Eggs Benedict, mushroom brioche and avocado toast give you substantial savoury options. Coffee and matcha are also available.
The pastry range is a real draw. Reviews describe flaky, fresh croissants with inventive combinations, including banana and strawberry-peanut, alongside chocolate babka and mozzarella-pesto pastries. Breakfast portions are often generous, and the food is served in a small, attractive space where staff are praised for attentive guidance and thoughtful extras such as complimentary treats or handwritten notes.
Plan the visit around the bakery’s limitations. Popular breads can sell out by noon, so early arrival gives you a better choice. The room may be quiet before 9am on Sunday, but it becomes noisy and difficult for seating at busy periods; one Saturday lunchtime guest waited 25 minutes.
Paid street parking was available out front on a weekday, and underground parking was also mentioned. There is no on-site restroom, and one review raised a concern about flies, though other guests described the place as clean.
