Tips for a Better Visit
Check Timing. Allow extra time at busy meals: one visit took 40 minutes for scrambled eggs, with later arrivals served first.
Try Lunch. Visit between 12–4 pm for the reported lunch menu of a starter, main, dessert and coffee for 65 dhs.
Ask Ingredients. If ordering shakshouka, confirm the egg count and portion details first; one bowl arrived with only one egg.
Plan Parking. Leave time to find parking; one customer eventually found a spot about 200m away.
Catering Confirm. For time-sensitive catering, confirm the order well ahead rather than relying on a last-minute delivery check.

The Bottom Line
The Lime Tree Cafe & Kitchen is a relaxed Al Quoz cafe for all-day breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake. Reviews repeatedly point to the carrot cake and triple chocolate brownie, while the menu also works for health-conscious diners: one family found 0-sugar, 0-flour choices their baby enjoyed, and others mention vegetarian and gluten-free options. The setting is a big part of the appeal.
Customers describe a cozy, quiet place with good Wi-Fi and music, plus a courtyard; the Al Quoz branch is also described as indoor dog friendly and has given dogs water and treats. Families have a kids’ books-and-toys corner, though one review found it better suited to older children and another said some dishes were too spicy for kids. There is a useful lunch menu from 12–4 pm: one review describes a starter, main, dessert and coffee for 65 dhs.
Food is not perfectly consistent. Eggs Benedict arrived late in one visit, the hash brown was undercooked, and a shakshouka bowl was criticised for containing one egg. Service ranges from attentive and welcoming to a 40-minute wait for scrambled eggs.
Parking can take patience; one visitor parked about 200m away. For catering, confirm the order well ahead: one time-sensitive delivery was missed entirely.
