Really cosy cafe located in a villa that serves some of the absolute best comfort food and drinks in Abu Dhabi. You'll spend at least 20 mins staring at their menu wall trying to figure out what to getThis is a perfect place to bring your SO on a date as well. They have both indoor and outdoor seating but I prefer the indoor seating area, their decor is really nice! You could easily spend an afternoon or evening here. They have a book wall as well indoors. Sometimes I get my laptop here to chill out for a bit. Staff is lovely too, one of my go to places in AUH! Parking is ample at this area as well.

Amazing cafe with warm waiters and waitresses, very cozy ambience for work, study, or to have a chat with colleague or friends. Food and drinks are very tasty and the service is fast and thoughtful. A lot of sockets to plug your chargers. Perfect place to focus.
Great place for getting some work done. They have used books and nice environment, tried their pour over and was really good.
