The Good Stuff
French toast
The Lotus and classic French toast are repeatedly described as soft, balanced and delicately textured.
Generous portions
The breakfast bag ordered for two was described as large enough for more than two people.
Mall location
Fashion Avenue inside Dubai Mall is convenient and easy to find while shopping.
Calm setting
Several reviews describe the atmosphere as calm, stylish, spacious or quiet, making it workable for a coffee break.
Breakfast choice
The menu includes substantial breakfast options, including Turkish-style eggs with labneh and Emirati-style breakfast experiences.
Friendly service
Many customers describe the team as welcoming and attentive, with good recommendations and careful order handling.
Gluten-free bowl
The açai bowl is specifically mentioned as gluten free, giving shoppers a clearly identified lighter option.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm availability. If travelling for Emirati breakfast, call on the same day: one customer was told it had finished despite earlier confirmation.
Allow time. For breakfast, leave a time buffer and check on the order; one visit lost the breakfast window after a 25-minute drink delay.
Try V60. Coffee-focused visitors can ask about the Ethiopian or Brazilian V60, which a reviewer found aromatic and flavourful.
Choose carefully. Availability and consistency vary, so ask what is fresh and in stock before ordering; one croissant was good but not completely fresh.
Check sweetness. If you prefer less-sweet drinks, note that one review found the iced Spanish latte too sweet.
Try breakfast. The breakfast bag is a practical choice for sharing, since one portion was described as enough for more than two people.

Common Concerns
Slow service
One breakfast visit ended after 25 minutes without even an orange juice, with other customers also complaining and leaving.
Stock gaps
Some menu items can run out: one visit found the Chocolate Blast unavailable and only one croissant left.
Order mistakes
A customer received the wrong drink and found the coffee arrived without a spoon.
Dessert mismatch
The chocolate cake was criticised for tasting more like butter cake, with overly heavy frosting.
Privacy issues
A photoshoot took place between occupied tables, making it difficult for a regular customer to enjoy a coffee privately.

The Bottom Line
TEN 11 is a Dubai Mall cafe in Downtown Dubai, tucked into Fashion Avenue and useful for a break during shopping or a proper breakfast. The menu goes beyond coffee: reviewers mention the Ten11 Classic French Toast, Lotus French Toast with ice cream, Turkish-style eggs with labneh, and generous breakfast sets. The specialty coffee is a genuine draw, with Chemex, cortado, flat white and V60 preparations appearing in reviews.
The setting is generally described as calm, stylish and spacious, while the team is often praised for being welcoming and attentive. The açai bowl is specifically reported as gluten free. For coffee, the Ethiopian and Brazilian V60s are worth asking about, and the pumpkin spice latte was liked with almond milk.
There are a few practical caveats. Service has not been consistent: one customer waited 25 minutes for an orange juice and left, while another received the wrong drink and no spoon. Menu availability can also be patchy, and an Emirati breakfast had reportedly sold out before a guest’s order despite earlier phone information.
Call on the same day if that breakfast is your reason for visiting, and allow extra time during breakfast. Prices were described as normal for Dubai Mall, though one reviewer found the Dubai breakfast pricey.
