Sour dough bread Net +3

“My friends and I ordered Baker's morning feast, Leberkaese sandwich and cheese sandwich with orange juice. Their famous sourdough bread was so fresh and had nice, chewy texture. The leberkaese was like the ones I used to eat in Germany. Orange juice were freshly squeezed and served cold. Their menu is pretty simple but the food quality is really high in a generous portion at a low price - no wonder why it was fully booked!”

Food 9

Almond croissant Net −1

“The almond croissant was too dry, big but empty inside: no frangipan (almond creme) inside. Only 1 good point was the crunchy almond on the top.”
Bakery products Net −1

“-All bakery products had a specific taste, probably something added to the dough”
French toast Net −1

“-Absolutely dry French toast (we had to ask for maple syrup, and they brought such a small amount, that wasn’t enough to fill a spoon. Had to request it twice)”
Fried rice Net −1

“Fried rice was a tad too oily for me.”
German breakfast Net −1

“My friends took me to this place to have a German breakfast after 5 months of living here so I was exhited to see what they offer. Some of the pastries and cakes look very good and especially the banana bread is amazing. But I was not a big fan of the breakfast buffet. With 69 DHS it is very cheap but with it's saussages and beans it is more an Englisch breakfast then a German one and so I was a bit disappointed.”
Penne with chicken alfredo Net −1

“Today, I ordered a dish of penne with chicken Alfredo. I cannot believe I paid AED 25 for the small portion and absolutely zero chicken.”
Shakshuka Net −1

“-Strange interpretation of shakshuka”
Sunny side egg Net −1

“Then the sunny side egg was not... Well look at the picture: it's a little bit too un-natural.”
Vegan omelete Net −1

“Got excited to have found yet another place offering vegan option. Good was OK. Had their vegan omelete, not really to my liking.”

Drinks 1

Latte Net −1

“Had a black forest cake, croissant and a cup of latte. The black forest cake was better than the ones I have had in black forest , Germany - just loved it.l- it was mildly sweet and extremely tasty. The croissant 🥐 was so soft yet crispy that I can't believe it was sourdough. The breads made and sold here are all sour dough and healthy and they are the best. Met Sven and he is a very sweet person , he made sure everything was ok. The latte coffee was ok ok and it could have been better ! Nevertheless a very sweet cafe/ restaurant in dubai we can spend time and eat good and healthy food..”

The Bottom Line

Sven the Bakers Kitchen in Al Wasl is a bakery-led restaurant where the clearest reason to visit is the bread. Customers come for freshly baked sourdough, then stay for German-style food such as beef schnitzel, Leberkaese sandwiches and soft pretzels. The bakery counter also makes it easy to take loaves and pastries home.

Health-conscious diners have plenty to investigate, including flourless bread, rye and oat loaves without yeast, gluten-free bread, vegan dishes and a menu that lists calories. The beef schnitzel is described as a massive portion, while the free bread basket is a recurring favourite with breakfast guests. Families get a practical extra: an indoor play area that has worked well for children's meals and birthday celebrations.

It can also make the room noisy, and several older reviews mention weak or broken air conditioning, so check the conditions if you dislike heat. Outdoor seating is appealing in cooler weather. , but brunch is not always especially German and bakery items may be charged separately.

Reserve when possible during busy family periods, and arrive early if soft pretzels are a priority. Free basement parking has also been reported.
