These 5 Pink Cafes in Dubai Took Barbie World to the Next Level
I have a confession to make: I am obsessed with pink. Sure, most girls love pink, but believe me when I tell you that I love pink in all its shape, form, shade and size.
So of course, it made perfect sense for me to find that perfect pink cafe in Dubai to make all my pink dreams come true. And if you’re a pink lover like me, this list is for you.

I don’t know if it’s weird, but I always dreamed of being the girl who enjoyed her flaky croissant and hot cup of coffee inside a pink cafe. I never thought It would happen but it did when I visited Saya Brasserie.
This cafe in City Walk is pink done right because while it’s filled with all things pink – from its walls to its food – it still offers that relaxing ambiance that you’d want while enjoying your meal.
Saya is born in Dubai, but it covers American and Mediterranean cuisines for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love that they have options for everyone’s taste buds here.
For me, a great breakfast at Saya involves their bravocado benedict or Moroccan scramble. Their hummus selection is also to die for, especailly their signature Moroccan hummus with black Angus beef.
But Saya is also more than just a breakfast place because it serves some very hearty dishes for lunch and dinner. I always dream about their lamb shank with mashed potato and miso salmon in butter lemon sauce. Ah, heavenly!
Pro tip:
No matter what time of day you’re visiting Saya, always leave room for dessert because I tell you, their selection is divine.
Try their rose croissant, Arabic coffee cheesecake, rose explosion and their signature Saya’s pink balloon that will surely blow your mind – and your taste buds too.

Being in the heart of City Walk, Secret Garden is definitely no secret. But what I love about this pink cafe in Dubai is that it’s not only chic and pink, but it’s also very cozy and relaxing with almost a beachside vibe.
As soon as you open that door, you’re instantly greeted by the scent of freshly baked pastries that makes you hungry right away. Then, your mind relaxes as you’re surrounded by muted pink tones everywhere.
I love having breakfast at Secret Garden, especially on Saturday mornings when I’m too lazy to cook my own meal but still want to eat something good.
If I want a quick bite, I go for their salmon avocado bagel. But if I want to have a feast for breakfast, I indulge in their breakfast ribeye steak and eggs.
Secret Garden is an all-day affair, however, and they have an impressive selection of dishes that you can enjoy for lunch and dinner.
I die for their potato gnnochi with freshly shaved truffles on top, their house smoked beef with shiitake orzo and their porcini and potato vareniki.
And let’s not forget about dessert here because Secret Garden’s rose and lychee macaron is pink and delicious.
Pro tip:
Do you have friends visiting Dubai? Impress them with Secret Garden’s signature drinks that are presented in very mystical vessels.
I especially recommend their Beauty and the Beast and Hummingbird Potion cocktails. But you can also ask the bartender to surprise you and your friends with some of their special creations.

If this pink cafe in Dubai isn’t pink enough for you, then I don’t know what is. EL&N was born in London and quickly became a favourite among the Dubai crowd, especially the pink loving ones like me.
In fact, you can spot the cafe from a mile away because of its arch filled with pink faux roses and pink outdoor umbrellas that are so London chic.
But EL&N isn’t just all aesthetics because the cafe is also famous for its all-day brunch menu with dishes served in pink plates, bowls and more.
Their Turkish breakfast for two is perfect for that first date and I can have their pulled salt beef hash and eggs every day and be a happy girl.
The cafe also serves house drinks, coffees and even mocktails if you want to get the party started early.
Pro tip:
Aside from serving good food, EL&N also has a gift shop where you can buy everything from that gingerbread woman mug that’s on my list to their rose and jasmine candle that’s already sitting on my bedside table as we speak.

If you’re invested in the whole Dubai Bling fiasco like me, then you probably saw a glimpse of Forever Rose Cafe in one of its episodes.
This pink cafe in Dubai isn’t exactly all pink, but it’s definitely one of the most unique cafes you’ll see in your life because of its 2D effect that makes you feel like you’re inside the pages of a book.
And yes, Forever Rose is owned by the famous Ebraheem Al Samadi who was the good guy, bad guy in Dubai Bling. But whether you’re team Danya or team Zeina, you should visit this cafe.
You can also expect the rose theme to continue with the cafe’s menu with dishes including edible flowers and drinks infused with roses.
Here, you’ll find elevated comfort food like the Crave chicken burger, classic steak and forever risotto musakhan. I am also in love with their saffron milk cake and heart-shaped strawberry cheesecake.
But Forever Rose’s pastries are really the stars of the show here with their Forever Rose French toast nutella on top of my list.
Pro tip:
If you’re still in the whimsical mood after eating at Forever Rose cafe, go get yourself a forever rose in a glass dome to keep at home – or give a hint to your husband for Valentine’s Day.

Chances are, you’ve seen this pink cafe in Dubai all over Instagram because it was named one of the most Instagrammable cafes in the world – and I completely agree.
For one, Tania’s Teahouse is located in chic Dubai Hills far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. So, if you’re looking to enjoy a quiet breakfast, this is the place to be.
The place is also filled with pink details that are not too loud, so they blend beautifully with the surroundings. And the menu is also very impressive with dishes that are delicious and cleverly named.
Think “All I Avo Wanted,” “I Falafel In Love,” “You Gotta Do Wagyu Gotta Do” and “Hallou Is It Mi You’re Looking For?” I mean, what would you not love about this place?
They also have sharing platters if you’re dining out with a group and don’t know what to choose. Their Jumeirah Jane platter is a go-to for my Mum and I while my Dad and brother feast on their meats with the Bougie Brekkier Board.
Tania’s Teahouse serves breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner, so you can head out to the location whenever you feel like going away from the chaos of the city centre for a while.
Pro tip:
Are you a sweet tooth? Ah, you have to try the cafe’s decadent desserts like “You Make Miso Happy,” “You’re the Apple of My Pie” and “Be Humble, Apple Crumble.”
