“The food was very mediocre and had absolutely no taste. Honestly, it was one of the worst breakfasts I’ve ever had in my life. The glass even smelled rancid, and the service was terrible. When the waiter came to put down the plate, there was a glass in the way. I moved it aside for him, and instead of properly placing the plate, he just handed it to me and I had to put it on the table myself. On top of that, every five minutes he would come and ask what we wanted to order, even though we kept telling him we needed more time to decide. And to make things worse, it was overpriced $100 for two people with no meat or chicken at all. Just salmon, eggs, and mushrooms.”

Reserve ahead. Book ahead if you are visiting at a busy time, especially on weekends.
Validate parking. Ask the café to validate your parking ticket before leaving.
Choose seasonally. Outdoor seating is most comfortable in cooler weather; one review specifically enjoyed it during winter.
Watch weekends. Allow for a busier visit on weekends when the restaurant can fill up.
Call inside. If you are seated outdoors and need something, going inside may be quicker than waiting for table service.

Some customers feel the pricing reflects the location more than the food, with one calling it expensive.

The Bottom Line
The Hamptons Cafe & Restaurant Jumeirah Islands is a restaurant in Jumeirah that suits relaxed breakfasts, brunches and coffee stops. Customers mention the Long Island breakfast, Hamptons Shakshuka, pitaya bowl and seafood linguine, so there is more to explore than a standard morning menu. Coffee is served with water and a small brownie, another detail that makes a quick visit feel considered.
The setting is a major part of the appeal. Reviews describe peaceful outdoor seating beside the lake, including a fountain and winter sunshine, while the indoor space is described as cosy, clean and thoughtfully decorated. Families have also used the venue for celebrations, including a baby shower, and one review specifically calls it family-friendly.
Shaded outdoor seating has been available in summer, though cooler months appear more comfortable outside. There are a few cautions. Prices are described as high by some diners, and food feedback is not completely consistent: one breakfast was called bland, while another customer found the Greek eggs and matcha underwhelming.
Vegetarian choice may feel limited. Weekend visits can be busy, reservations are advisable, and outdoor service may take longer. Parking-ticket validation is a useful detail to ask about before you leave.
