Story Behind Brunch & Cake

The Brunch & Cake story began not in the UAE, but in the vibrant city of Barcelona, Spain. The concept was created by Manolo Castro and quickly became famous for its focus on generous portions (“Grandma’s style”), fresh ingredients, and visually stunning presentation. The idea was simple: serve delicious, wholesome food that also looks amazing. The success in Spain led to international expansion, and happily for us, Brunch & Cake brought its unique concept to Dubai, opening branches that quickly gained popularity for their distinct style and tasty offerings.

My Experience

I recently visited the Wasl 51 location of Brunch & Cake. The place was buzzing, even on a weekday morning! It was filled with people chatting and enjoying their meals, with sunlight streaming in through the large windows.

decided to order the Eggs Benedict on a Croissant, which came presented beautifully with vibrant hollandaise sauce. My friend tried the Avocado Toast with Poached Egg. And yes, we absolutely had to get a slice of cake – we chose the Red Velvet Cake, of course!

My Eggs Benedict was incredibly rich and satisfying, the eggs perfectly poached on the flaky croissant. The Avocado Toast looked fresh and tasted clean and wholesome. The Red Velvet cake was moist and had that signature tangy cream cheese frosting; it wasn’t overly sweet and was a perfect end to the meal.

The atmosphere that day was lively and bright. The beautiful decor made the space feel welcoming and trendy. Our server was efficient and friendly, checking on us just enough without interrupting our conversation.

What stood out most was how well they combine substance and style. The food didn’t just look good; it tasted genuinely delicious, the portions were very satisfying, and the cake was everything it’s hyped up to be. It felt like a real treat and a great place to spend a morning.

My Top 4 Picks You Must Try at Brunch & Cake UAE:

  1. The Red Velvet Cake: It lives up to the hype.
  2. Any of their Eggs Benedict variations: A classic done very well, especially on the croissant.
  3. The Lotus Pancakes: If you love Lotus Biscoff, these are a must-order.
  4. The “I Came for the Burrata” Toast: A generous and delicious savoury option.
