The produce range is a major draw, with shoppers highlighting the variety of vegetables and fruits.
One regular shopper specifically returns for the quality and freshness of fish, eggs and poultry.
The store carries reduced- or no-sugar baby food alongside toothpaste, detergents, vitamins and sun protection.
The café menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, making it easier to eat alongside a grocery shop.
Staff can be attentive and useful when approached, including at checkout or when locating an item.
Smaller shopping carts and fruit and cookie samples give children something practical to do while adults shop.
Watch promotions. If prices concern you, time a shop around the store’s 20% promotions; one reviewer says the regular pricing is very high.
Go Friday. Friday may be the easier day for parking if you want to avoid the busy Al Qouz area.
Ask for help. Staff may be busy, but reviews say they are generally attentive when you directly ask for help finding an item or at checkout.
Compare produce. Check local produce before choosing imported fruit: a review found local sweet melons far cheaper than imported watermelons.
Check sushi rice. If you avoid added sugar, ask about the sushi rice before ordering, as one reviewer specifically noticed sugar in it.
Check deliveries. Inspect chilled and packaged items promptly after delivery, since reviews describe missing cold items and damaged products.

Several reviews describe the groceries as expensive compared with other organic shops, especially imported produce.
Online orders have reportedly arrived with missing items, including chilled products left for later delivery.
Shoppers have sometimes been given damaged cardboard boxes instead of proper bags, and seafood leakage bags were not offered.

Reviews report problems including spoiled baby purée, insects in packaged pasta and rotten or mouldy online produce.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Organic Foods & Café is an independent organic supermarket with a café in Al Quoz. You can shop for fresh produce, pantry goods and family staples, then sit down for salads, coffee or a cooked meal; vegan and gluten-free choices are part of the menu. The adjoining setup makes it handy for combining groceries with lunch.
The strongest draw is the breadth and quality shoppers describe. Reviews mention organic fruit and vegetables, fish, eggs, poultry, bakery goods and baby food with reduced or no sugar. The café gets specific praise for Chia Seeds Coated Salmon, organic pizza, smoothies and the Long Breakfast offer.
A calm atmosphere, kids’ carts and samples also make the store easier for family visits. Budget for premium-grocery pricing. One shopper found it expensive beside other organic shops, while another noted local sweet melons at about 10 AED/Kg versus imported watermelons at just under 50 AED/Kg.
Discount periods matter: reviews point to 20% promotions and a discount centre. Service is uneven. Staff are often helpful when asked, but café delays, missing online items, damaged packaging and checkout bag problems appear in the reviews.
For delivery, check chilled items promptly; for shopping, ask for assistance and compare local produce during promotions.
