The Good Stuff
Meeting rooms
Meeting rooms and private rooms are mentioned for business meetings, planning sessions and small groups.
Helpful service
Several reviews describe the team as welcoming and responsive when arranging workspace or meeting requirements.
Cafe option
The cafe has been praised for speciality coffee, freshly baked sweets and a relaxing green atmosphere.
Pizza workshops
Pizza-making workshops include making pizzas from scratch, with dough to take home and a Nutella calzone.
Work facilities
One meeting review mentions conference-room access, printing, monitors and coffee as part of the setup.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check WiFi. Ask how long cafe WiFi lasts before settling in; one review reported only two hours with a cafe purchase.
Compare passes. If you need a full day, ask about the coworking pass rather than relying on cafe access; one review lists 20 Dhs for two hours or 60 Dhs daily.
Book privacy. For calls or meetings, request a private room instead of a shared desk, which reviewers say offers no privacy.
Avoid summer. If booking a meeting room, ask about the garden area in summer; a reviewer found it warm despite the retractable roof.
Check sockets. Bring a charged laptop and confirm your desk has a working outlet, as one visitor reported a dead laptop battery after an outlet failed.
Ask parking. Parking reports conflict, so check the nearby options before arriving; some reviews mention RTA parking while another reports none.

The Bottom Line
WrkBay is a coworking space and cafe in Al Karama that suits people who want a change of scenery for focused work, studying or meetings. Reviews describe a green, outdoor-like interior with a calm feel, plus meeting rooms for small groups and business sessions. Some visitors also use the cafe for speciality coffee, sweets and light food, while others come for activities such as the pizza-making class.
The workspace has earned praise for its welcoming team, clean setup and practical meeting support. One review mentions conference-room access, printing, monitors and coffee; another found private rooms suitable for groups of two to three or six to eight. The location is also described as close to BurJuman metro, though parking feedback is mixed, with some visitors citing nearby RTA or ample parking and another reporting no parking.
Check the current access terms before settling in. A July 2025 review reported two hours of WiFi with a cafe purchase, a 20 Dhs two-hour pass and a 60 Dhs day pass, while older reviews describe different arrangements. Shared desks can be noisy and short on privacy, and one visitor reported a failed outlet.
Coffee pricing has also drawn criticism, including a recent complaint about 25 AED for roughly 100 ml, so ask about serving size and value first.
