Only neutral feedback

“We had the Rosella Pasta and the English Breakfast at Matter by iCoffee. The pasta was delicious, with a rich and velvety pink sauce and well-cooked grilled chicken. However, it felt a bit incomplete without any vegetables or garlic bread. The English Breakfast tasted good, but it was quite oily. The bacon was especially oily and had a slightly unusual smell, so I left it untouched.”

What to Avoid (5)

Food 3

Red velvet cookie Net −1

“The only letdown was the Red Velvet Cookie; it looked great but didn’t taste as fresh or soft as expected.”
Stake bowl Net −1

“Soho burger was delicious, though the stake bowl was not very good. Unfortunately the meat was sort of boiled.”
Stuffed french toast Net −1

“For the stuffed French toast, I chose the custard filling. It wasn’t really my favorite, but it wasn’t bad either — I think next time I’ll try the crème brûlée one instead.”

Drinks 2

Nutella milkshake Net −1

“Their Nutella milkshake was so basic and tasted like sugar and water that we had to let the lady change it. Still was not that good.”
Strawberry matcha Net −1

“Tried strawberry matcha and lotus latte. Both were flop. Strawberry matcha barely had any milk at all and was very watery. I had asked for oat milk expecting the coffee to be little more creamy. When we asked they told this is the usual recipe they follow and didnt even try to fix it. Also, there were bug chunks of strawberry which wasnt even crushed properly. The strawberry poces were getting stuck in the strawberry itself.. So the taste wasnt blended in to the coffee.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Check surcharges. If ordering a milk alternative, ask about any extra charge before confirming; one customer was surprised by an oat-milk fee.

Avoid holidays. Go outside holiday periods if you want a calmer visit, as one customer found the cafe very crowded then.

The Bottom Line

Matter by iCoffee is a specialty coffee shop and café in Dubai Hills Mall, useful for anything from a quick, well-made coffee to a full breakfast or relaxed meal. The coffee receives strong feedback overall, with the piccolo, Spanish latte and pistachio latte often praised for balance rather than excessive sweetness. Manual brewing is also part of the offering, including a well-received Chemex with Yemeni beans.

Breakfast is a clear draw. The Good Morning Breakfast Combo includes smoked-tomato shakshuka, guacamole and chips, stuffed French toast and coffee; the shakshuka was the standout for one repeat visitor. The Salmon Vegetable Bowl is another recurring favourite, described as fresh, healthy and balanced.

The menu goes beyond café basics, with customers also mentioning burgers, pasta, salads and seafood bowls. The setting is calm and minimalist on some visits, with comfortable seating and several plugs, although it can become crowded during holidays and noisy at times. Service is usually described as fast, patient and attentive.

For dessert, the burnt cheesecake, brownie bites and Pan-Tastic Croissant with ice cream are stronger bets from the reviews, while the Red Velvet Cookie received a freshness complaint. Ask about extra charges for oat milk before ordering, and check Fazaa or The Entertainer for possible savings.
