What to Avoid (4)

Food 3

  1. Buttery croissant Net −1
    “Overall, it didn’t live up to its name and certainly wasn’t worth the price. Name it something else other than buttery croissant.”
  2. Plain croissant Net −1
    “Very disappointing with the plain croissant. It wasn’t flaky at all, which is one of the main qualities of a good croissant. The dough seemed improperly processed and wasn’t baked well, resulting in a saggy texture instead of the light, airy, and crisp texture you expect.”
  3. Toasted bread Net −1
    “You ask for toasted bread they bring slices filled with oil and heated in oven.”

Drinks 1

  1. Avocado banana milkshake Net −1
    “We ordered two milkshakes, and the avocado banana milkshake was extremely disappointing due to the poor quality of avocado used.”

The Bottom Line

In Al Wasl, Scarlet’s German Bakery & Patisserie sits by City Walk and works equally well for a pastry stop, breakfast or a coffee outdoors. The bakery is known in reviews for German-style bread and a broad pastry display; the chocolate croissant, danishes and Bavarian omelette are among the more specific standouts. Breakfast is served all day, and portions can be substantial.

The setting is a practical part of the appeal. There is indoor and outdoor seating, with morning shade outside, while the City Walk location gives you somewhere relaxed to linger after eating. Parking reviews mention up to three free hours in the same building if you keep the receipt.

Weekends can be busy, especially outdoors. Service is usually described as friendly and attentive, with regulars saying staff remember preferences. Coffee also earns consistent praise.

Still, the feedback is not uniformly positive: some long-time customers report declining breakfast quality, one delivery arrived with old pastries, and another found a plain croissant saggy rather than flaky. A separate review raised serious concerns about visible cockroaches and cracked crockery. For the most reliable first visit, eating in and ordering a pastry warmed may be wiser than relying on delivery.
