The Good Stuff
Honey cake
Some customers strongly enjoy the honey cake, including one who compared a 600g cake favourably with their homemade version.
Vegan option
The Vegan Napoleon stood out to one family as a successful traditional-style cake made with non-traditional ingredients.
Gift packaging
Elegant boxes and branded carrier bags make the cakes presentable when ordering a dessert as a gift.
Cozy interior
The small interior is described as peaceful, cosy and elegant, with a high-end feel despite the limited space.
Eclairs
The eclairs received a positive mention from a regular Napoleon customer who decided to try something different.
Fast delivery
Several orders arrived promptly, including a birthday cake delivered at the promised time.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm timing. For an event, reconfirm delivery shortly before ordering; one scheduled order was still undelivered after nearly four hours.
Check freshness. If freshness matters, ask when the cake was made before paying; reviews mention stale and dry Napoleon cakes.
Try halves. The half-and-half option lets you combine honey cake and Napoleon, useful if you are ordering for a small household.
Allow parking time. There is free parking for three hours in the Grandioze building, while nearby spots are usually occupied.
Compare prices. Compare the portion size and price with other bakeries first; one customer paid 50 dirhams for a slice and felt it was not worthwhile.
Avoid advance payment. For a time-critical order, be cautious about paying in advance because one reviewer specifically warned against it after a failed delivery.

The Bottom Line
Special Napoleon Confectionery is an online pastry shop in Al Quoz built around Russian-style desserts, especially Napoleon cake and honey cake. You can also find eclairs and a Vegan Napoleon, so there is a little more choice than the name suggests. The cakes are frequently ordered for birthdays, family gatherings and gifts.
The experience is notably split. Many customers describe the Napoleon as delicious, fresh and reminiscent of childhood, while others received dry layers, too little cream, stale cake or a wet texture they felt was unlike real Napoleon. The honey cake also divides opinion: one 600g order was compared with a homemade cake, but another customer disliked its strong honey flavour and sticky layers.
Elegant boxes and branded carrier bags are a consistent bright spot, and the small interior has been described as cosy and peaceful. Price is the main caution. A review cites 50 dirhams for one slice, and another says two pieces cost 110 AED; several customers considered the portions expensive.
Delivery can be excellent, but it has also failed badly for time-sensitive events, including orders arriving hours late or being cancelled. Confirm the timing and freshness before paying. If driving, reviewers mention three hours of free parking in the Grandioze building.
