Circle Café – The Heart of Weekend Brunching in Shorooq Community
Tucked within the peaceful Shorooq Community, Circle Café is more than just a local eatery — it’s a home away from home. With its consistently warm service, exceptional cleanliness, and quality-focused menu, it has become a weekend staple for my family and me. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, Circle Café welcomes everyone with a level of hospitality that is truly unmatched in Dubai’s café scene.
From the moment you walk in, the space feels open, breezy, and well-ventilated, with natural light and a cozy, clean setting that instantly puts you at ease. The staff are incredibly attentive, greeting guests with genuine smiles and a warm, welcoming attitude that never feels forced. This level of service is a clear 5/5 — consistent, professional, and heartfelt.
One of Circle Café’s biggest draws is their all-you-can-eat weekend brunch, running until 4pm for an incredible 69 AED — easily one of the best-value brunch menus in the city. It offers a generous selection of breakfast and brunch classics, all made with care and high-quality ingredients.
From the brunch menu, I highly recommend starting with the English Breakfast, which is hearty, balanced, and beautifully plated. The pancakes are soft, fluffy, and ideal for sharing — a perfect finish to a satisfying morning spread.
From the regular menu, the Ranchero Burrito is a standout — packed with flavor, perfectly wrapped, and a filling, satisfying option that doesn’t compromise on taste. The Eggs Florentine, with its velvety hollandaise and poached eggs over fresh spinach, is another must-try — light yet indulgent.
And no visit is complete without their Iced Spanish Latte — easily one of the best in Dubai. Smooth, rich, and not overly sweet, it’s the perfect pairing with both savory and sweet dishes.

Read morerarely leave a poor review. But here’s my personal experience.
I visited this restaurant on a Sunday morning for breakfast as this restaurant is listed on my careem app (they have a partnership and offer careem premium members a 20%off discount if you pay by careem app) I was introduced by their staff that they have two menus: weekend brunch or regular breakfast menu. I chose the former. After dining, while I asked for the bill and informed the staff that I was paying by careem. The staff said they don’t accept careem payments because I chose the brunch menu. When I asked them why they didn’t inform me that careem pay is not applicable to certain menu(so I could have avoided choosing the wrong menu), they said because I should have known that brunch is already a discount and there’s no double discount. (For me, ‘discount’ is something offered in addition to the price shown on the menu. In this case I’d appreciate if they can just inform me in advance (either verbally or written on the menu) that they don’t accept careem payments for brunch menu.) The brunch menu looked okay until I received the food. The quality from brunch menu was far below the regular menu I’ve had. Please check other reviews for references. I guess their brunch is only suitable for people who values quantity over quality. Not for me.
An unpleasant experience due to their lack of notice before placing the order, and the bad quality of food on brunch menu. (Love the regular menu anyways)
Leaving this review and hoping to raise the awareness of this situation for people who come...
Read moreIt's me and my husband's first time in the cafe for breakfast and here are some of the things I have noticed.
Positive reviews: The staffs are welcoming. They greet you as soon as you walk in and assist you to your seat. Food was great although some are dry like the tuna bagel, the tuna was dry as tho it has been out for some time.
Negative reviews: The service for coffee and first order which was fruit bowl was fast but after that the service became slow and it was not even that crowded. The place was hot as they only have 2 standing ac which doesn't reach the other half of the cafe. The tables weren't clean. I thought it was stained but i tried to remove it with water and was able to clean it. (Unfortunately, I can't upload the video. The serving portion were too small that you have to order again and again and considering the waiting time, I think for some items portions should be increased like the main meals. The plates smelled off and felt like wasn't wash properly and spoke to the manager and had my food replaced but unfortunately the new plate they served was still smelly. I wanted to avail the breakfast promotion in zomato (which does not say by the way that is not valid during holidays) and was told that they don't have that said offer.
Over all we have somehow enjoyed the area where the cafe was and the design of the cafe and I can say the food was good aswell, but, as someone who takes hygiene a priority, I most probably won't be...
