The sourdough loaves are a standout, with one customer calling the loaf amazing and another praising the 100% rye version.
The pretzels are praised for staying soft rather than turning hard like many supermarket versions.
Breakfast is a strong reason to visit, with reviewers praising the freshness and generous portions of dishes such as omelettes and avocado toast.
The warm atmosphere suits working, unwinding or meeting friends, and one review mentions a small library in the corner.
A customer specifically noted that the bakery has plenty of parking, useful for a quick bread or pastry stop.
Allow time. Avoid scheduling something immediately afterwards; repeated reviews describe lengthy waits even when the café was quiet.
Check stock. If you are visiting for a specific morning bakery item, ask first: egg buns, brioche and breads have reportedly sold out or been unavailable.
Clarify wording. Ask exactly what a menu item contains before ordering; one customer expected Belgian chocolate but received milk with Cadbury’s powder.
Check portions. If using the ESAAD voucher, confirm the coffee size at the counter, as one reviewer received a smaller cup than on a previous visit.
Confirm extras. Ask how vegetable additions are charged before ordering an omelette; one customer was billed separately for each vegetable.

The Bottom Line
Scarlet’s is a German bakery and café in Al Furjan, worth considering if you want breads and pastries to take home or a sit-down breakfast. The strongest review pattern is around the bakery basics: sourdough loaves, soft pretzels, pastries and buns. Breakfast also draws regulars, with German breakfast, English breakfast, omelettes and avocado toast all mentioned.
The setting is generally described as warm, peaceful and suitable for working or meeting friends; one customer liked the small library corner. Families have also mentioned bringing children for lunch. Parking is reported to be plentiful, making a quick bakery stop relatively convenient.
Service is the main reason to plan carefully. Multiple customers waited 30 minutes for a latte or up to an hour for food, while others reported incorrect drinks, missing items and poor communication. Visit with time to spare, especially at busy periods, and check that your order is complete before leaving.
Prices can feel high for the portions. A homemade iced coffee was reported at AED 28 for around 200 ml, and a cappuccino was criticised for arriving lukewarm. Ask about menu wording, substitutions, add-ons and voucher portions before paying.
