The Third Place Cafe

“Our favorite cozy cafe for a casual dining. Kids corner is a great addition to a warm atmosphere. "Bookendsuae" displays a stand here, so kids enjoy their new book weekly. Food is simple, fresh and delicious. John is there with his valuable advices, very kind, always friendly and welcoming.”

“Amazing space with something for everyone! Perfect for working or meeting friends. The outdoor and indoor seating areas are a big plus. Must-try: their delicious vegetarian salad. Coffee is standard, but the vibe is top-notch. A great "third place" in Abu Dhabi!”

“The pancake was amazing taste very good and its perfect texture and fluffiness. big portion enough for two people. The flat white is bigger than anywhere i have tried.”

A cozy café with a warm vibe and friendly staff. The location is convenient, especially if you’re in the area and want a quiet spot to sit, relax, or grab a quick bite. Their drinks are good and the food portions are satisfying. It’s not a crowded place, which makes it great for a calm coffee break. A nice hidden gem for simple, enjoyable café moments.

An excellent cafe that reminds me of one back in a college town in America; almost every time I've been there there have been students there meeting or studying. A bit expensive, but a great laid-back place to sit and catch up with someone or get a little bit of work done. One of my favorite cafes in Abu Dhabi.

Used this spot to work on the weekends while in Abu Dhabi. Stayed almost all day and ordered multiple times. The staff was amazing and very helpful, and the never got tired of me! The food was great. Get the Big Breakfast it's so good. Coffee was great too. Will always make this my spot when I'm in town and need good food coffee and wifi for some weekend work in a relaxed environment.
