The Good Stuff
Yoghurt flavour
The yoghurt ice cream is described as refreshing and not overly sweet, with pistachio a standout pairing.
Beach setting
The Jumeirah Beach Residence setting adds beach views, night lights and nearby seating for a relaxed dessert break.
Quick service
Several reviews mention fast service, while staff are often described as friendly and helpful when choosing flavours.
Generous size
One review specifically calls the bubble waffle huge, and another reports a generous ice cream portion.
Tips for a Better Visit
Pair berries. Try a bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream and fresh berries, a combination mentioned for an evening beach stop.
Choose yoghurt. For a lighter-tasting option, try the yoghurt ice cream; one review says it was refreshing and not overly sweet.
Visit at night. An evening visit suits the beach setting, with one reviewer recommending the bubble waffle while enjoying night lights.
Check drink sweetness. If ordering a drink, ask about sweetness first or choose ice cream instead, since one review found the drinks very syrupy.

The Bottom Line
Yogugu Ice Cream is a beachside dessert stop in Jumeirah Beach Residence, with bubble waffles and ice cream at the centre of the menu. The clearest draw is the bubble waffle: reviews describe it as warm and crispy, soft inside, and large enough to carry fresh strawberries, blueberries, marshmallows and chocolate. Vanilla, chocolate, cookies-and-cream and pistachio pairings also appear in customer orders.
Yoghurt ice cream is worth considering if you do not want an intensely sweet dessert. One reviewer found it refreshing and “not overly sweet,” while another compared its texture and taste favourably to real yoghurt. The beach view and night lights make the waffle-and-ice-cream combination particularly appealing in the evening, and reviews mention a clean, cosy setting with nearby seating.
Service is usually described as friendly, accommodating and quick, but the experience is not completely consistent. One customer reported waiting more than 20 minutes, chasing the order twice and receiving the wrong items; another objected to being charged 2 AED for a cup. Drinks have also been criticised as very syrupy, so ice cream may be the safer choice.
Customer-reported prices include 25 AED for a one-size cup and 30 dirhams for mixed ice cream, though these are older review examples rather than a current menu.
