The Good Stuff
Matcha Wave
Matcha Wave is one of the cafe’s most consistently recommended drinks, with several visitors calling it a standout.
Cozy Setting
The cafe’s calm, elegant atmosphere, fresh flowers and boulevard outlook suit relaxed breakfasts, dates and catch-ups.
Friendly Service
Many reviews describe the team as attentive and kind, with service that adds a personal touch to visits.
Syrniki Pick
Syrniki and the crepe with cottage cheese are memorable choices for a sweet breakfast or brunch.
All-Day Menu
The menu moves beyond breakfast into options such as baked salmon and pasta, making it workable for later meals too.
Tips for a Better Visit
Ask Freshness. If ordering juice or an acai bowl, confirm that the ingredients are freshly prepared after one customer reported old items.
Laptop Check. If you plan to work, ask about seating first: laptops were reportedly not accepted outdoors and the indoor area was considered small.
Try Matcha. Matcha Wave is a reliable first order according to multiple reviews, especially if you want something beyond coffee.
Breakfast Order. For breakfast, consider Eggs Royale; one review specifically praised the cooking of both the eggs and asparagus.
Choose Indoors. If flies or noise bother you, indoor seating may be preferable to the outdoor area, where both issues were mentioned.
Allow Time. Build in extra time during busy visits, as one customer reported waiting a very long time for an order.

The Bottom Line
Twice Cafe is an all-day spot in Downtown Dubai that works especially well for breakfast, brunch and an unhurried coffee. The menu gives you plenty to choose from without feeling like a narrow coffee counter: reviewers mention Eggs Royale, Benedict, French toast, syrniki, crepes with cottage cheese and Matcha Wave. Later meals can include dishes such as baked salmon, pasta or steak salad.
The setting is a big part of the appeal. Reviews describe a calm, cozy and elegant interior with floor-to-ceiling windows, fresh flowers and a boulevard view. It suits a date, catch-up or relaxed breakfast, and the cafe is described by the business as pet-friendly.
Coffee, cookies, croissants, juices and non-alcoholic drinks make it easy to drop in for something smaller too. Service is often singled out as friendly, attentive and professional, although it has not been perfectly consistent. One visit involved a long wait, bitter coffee and unwanted vegetables in scrambled eggs; other reviews reported old carrot juice and an acai bowl.
Outdoor tables have also drawn comments about flies and noise, while laptop use is reportedly restricted outdoors. If working, ask about seating first, and consider checking freshness when ordering juice or bowls. Prices were described as normal for Boulevard standards, though one reviewer wanted some items slightly cheaper.
