Breakfast in Abu Dhabi hits different when it comes from a bakery. Whether you’re after flaky croissants, sugar-free treats, or bread so good it deserves its own fan club, the city’s got options that will make you forget cereal ever existed. Here’s the lineup.
OsK Croissanterie
Croissant lovers, assemble. From blueberry Danish to pecan croissant, each one has that golden, flaky magic. Pair it with OsK Croissanterie‘s matcha latte and you’ll be floating through your morning.
Stead Bakery
Stead Bakery is new on the scene but already the talk of the town. Think sourdough loaves, grandma-approved cookies, and pastries that swing from sweet to savory (yes, spinach–feta–sumac, we see you). The coffee? Don’t just grab it on the side—it’s part of the star act.
OVE Artisan Bakery
Sweet craving? Order the gooey chocolate fondant cake from OVE Artisan Bakery and thank us later. Not in the mood for sugar? The zaatar labneh croissant will take you straight to a Lebanese breakfast table. Their spread is huge, so good luck picking just one thing.
Knead Bakery & Patisserie
Knead Bakery & Patisseries has decades of French pastry mastery, courtesy of Chef Sebastian. The baguette is the real deal, the St. Sebastian cheesecake is non-negotiable, and the apple crumble dusted with cinnamon tastes like pure nostalgia.
Angel Cakes
Healthier doesn’t mean boring in Angel Cakes. Sugar-free, gluten-free, and still delicious—plus a Korean-inspired menu for a twist. Try the fluffy pancakes or the pistachio-raspberry cake (a masterpiece, honestly).
Home Bakery
A cult favorite across the region, Home Bakery knows exactly how to hit the sweet spot. The saffron karak French toast is breakfast royalty, but the Crack is what legends are made of—Nutella-stuffed chocolate cake with all the toppings. Addictive doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Final Bite
Abu Dhabi’s bakery scene proves breakfast can be both cozy and boujee. Whether you’re in it for buttery carbs, sugar-free pancakes, or coffee with a side of pastry heaven, there’s a spot waiting to make your morning better.
