Drink Prints
The cafe’s signature experience is printing a selfie or chosen picture on coffee, smoothies and other drinks.
Selfie Time Coffee & Juice
Jumeirah
The customer reviews describe Selfie Time Coffee & Juice as a small cafe in Jumeirah where you can order coffee or fresh juice with your own photo printed on top. Spanish lattes, waffles and smoothies are among the most-mentioned choices, although the supplied listing also describes Be Lenka Arabia as a barefoot-shoe retailer for women, men and kids.

The Good Stuff
Spanish Latte
Spanish lattes receive repeated praise, including one that was customised with low-fat milk and little sugar.
Fresh Juices
Reviews repeatedly describe the juices as fresh, with green juice and detox-style drinks receiving specific mentions.
Waffles
The waffles are a strong food option; the strawberry waffle and Nutella Walnut Banana Waffle are both specifically praised.
Friendly Service
Customers describe the staff as polite, welcoming and accommodating, which helps make the small cafe comfortable for a catch-up.
Family Fun
The photo-on-drink idea works for children too: one review says a child enjoyed seeing her picture on hot chocolate.
Outdoor Tables
The indoor ambience drew one reservation, but three outdoor tables were noted as having a great view.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Printer. If the photo print is your main reason for visiting, confirm the machine is working before you go; it was reported broken for two months.
Try Outside. For a better setting, ask about the three outdoor tables, which one reviewer preferred for their view.
Allow Time. Leave extra time if ordering waffles, as one customer reported a long serving wait.
Order Spanish. Coffee drinkers could start with the Spanish latte; reviews describe it as especially good and customisable.
Share a Photo. Bring a favourite selfie or another picture if you want to use the cafe’s distinctive drink-printing concept.

Common Concerns
Printer Issues
Several reviews from 2022 said the food printer had been broken for about two months, so the signature photo service was unavailable then.
High Prices
One customer found the sweets overpriced and objected to paying 7 AED for a small bottle of Arwa water.
Small Toppings
The acai bowl was considered tasty, but a customer felt the topping portion was too small for 48 dirhams.
Slow Service
One review reported a long wait for waffles, even though the customer felt the food was worth waiting for.
Indoor Ambience
A review found the indoor ambience less appealing than the outdoor seating.

The Bottom Line
The customer reviews present Selfie Time Coffee & Juice as a small cafe in Jumeirah built around a memorable gimmick: your selfie or another chosen picture can be printed on a coffee, smoothie or hot chocolate. Spanish latte, fresh juices and waffles are the main reasons to order something beyond the novelty. The supplied business description, however, identifies Be Lenka Arabia as a barefoot-shoe retailer for women, men and kids, so the listing information and review content do not fully match.
For the cafe experience, the Spanish latte is a dependable starting point, while the strawberry waffle and Nutella Walnut Banana Waffle stand out in the food comments. Fresh juices, including green juice and detox-style options, are also repeatedly praised. Families may enjoy the photo idea: one reviewer said their child liked seeing her picture on hot chocolate.
The space is small, with three outdoor tables noted for their view; indoor ambience received a less favourable comment. Service is usually described as polite and accommodating, but waffle orders have taken a long time for at least one visitor. Check that the food printer is working before making a special trip, since multiple 2022 reviews reported it broken for about two months.
Prices deserve a glance too: one review called the sweets expensive, and reported 7 AED for a small Arwa water.
