Pair pastries. For a simple coffee break, pair your drink with a croissant; regular visitors also mention cookies and chocolate muffins.
Ask availability. If a menu item is not displayed, ask whether it is still available; one regular said items were sometimes made despite not being on display.

The Bottom Line
ROAST Speciality Coffee is a relaxed café in Al Barsha South that works especially well for a coffee break, quiet reading session, or laptop meeting. You can order espresso drinks, specialty brews such as an ice V60, and food ranging from croissants and muffins to salads and healthy options. The flat white has been praised for being balanced and served at the right temperature, while a cappuccino was described as rich, creamy, and not too bitter.
The atmosphere is a major draw. Several reviews describe the space as calm, cosy, clean, and comfortable, with quiet corners for working or catching up. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are listed by the business, and one reviewer specifically found the Wi-Fi useful for connecting a laptop.
Regulars also mention croissants, cookies, chocolate muffins, a special salad, bagels, and açai bowls. There are a few caveats. One customer found the food overpriced, and another reported that an order took quite a while despite the café being empty.
Food feedback is mostly positive but not completely consistent: one recent review said the food was not fresh, while others described it as fresh and flavorful. If you are ordering food, checking availability and freshness first is sensible.
