I just love this place... it's cozy, colorful, serves fresh food, that is changed almost every other day. You can still order stuff from the menu.
It's the perfect spot for casual outing with friends, or a hideout with a good book.
Offering organic and locally sourced food over the years, Lime Tree Cafe is well known for providing delicious food with a purpose.
While they have many branches around Dubai, the first (and best) branch is the one located in the heart of Jumeriah. It has a great outdoor seating area and a separate kids play/reading area.
We stopped by for an early breakfast and decided to indulge in the LT House, which is zero sugar cereal and served with milk and jam on the side. The cereal is made of nuts and fruits giving it a unique and crunchy flavour. We also tried the Big Breakfast which is the typical English breakfast with sausages, slices of bacon and poached eggs. It was filling and delicious.
The fresh juices and coffee are one of the main highlights in my opinion. The orange juice, in particular, is fresh and exhilarating and their coffee beverages are great. They are proud to be using fair trade coffee beans and being environmentally friendly when it comes to disposable items.
The price range is fair and its an ideal place to dine with family and friends.
This cute cafe in Jumeirah is amazing. Loved the ambiance, variety of dishes, cakes, desserts and confectioneries that was available. I had their eggs benedict with some coffee and also ordered their carrot cake, which without doubt is THE BEST CARROT CAKE in the city. Oh! they also serve fruit infused water and yes u get water for free (one of the few restaurants that serves water for free)
This place wakes you up and is like the morning sunshine. So lively, yet so calm and pleasant. No Wonder, its such a favourite, especially among the residents around.
I ordered the Legendary Carrot Cake and for sure it lives up to it’s name. If you are visiting the Lime Tree once, this is a must try!
This quirky cafe has stood it’s ground and managed to continue successfully despite the continued number of outlets opening in the vicinity.
We ordered an affogato- espresso with ice cream.. the coffee was strong and the ice cream just perfect.. not too sweet.. the ice cream and coffee blended well to give a fabulous taste experience
An amazing place with an amazing decor, offers almost all you need to celebrate with your friends and family.
The food here is tasty enough to make you order one more especially the White Sauce Pasta.
We’ve been here several times and we love the homey feeling of the place and if you wanna eat healthy this the perfect place for you. Their organic salads are the best. The coffee are perfectly blenede
the place is so cozy . the staffs are knowledgeable with their menus. although, little bit pricey but you got the value of what you are paying for. i love their sandwiches here i am definite going back in this place
Cool little spot hidden under the sail of a shade cloth featuring all your classic breakfasts with a twist and oh so delicious. And don’t even get me started on the cakes...
A friend who lives in Dubai for many years recommended this place. We went back 4 times during our stay in the resort opposite. Great breakfast and also lunch here. Tasty and healthy. All home made of good raw materials.
Will come back next time for sure.
Blue Dubai Skies, a Sweet Potato and Bacon Salad + a Potato and Egg Pie.
All what you need to keep you happy and cheerful.
The restaurant has some good outdoor seating, best for this weather.

I love this place's concept, reminds me of cafes back home.
My favorite location is the Jumeirah 1 location, especially if you sit outside.
I've tried their salads, main courses and desserts and I loved them all.
Prices are reasonable
Ambience is calming
Overall I give it 4
I had a bad experience in other branch, so I didn't have a high expectations going to this one, but boy I was wrong. Amazing atmosphere, nice decoration, good music, high quality food, tasty coffee, and did I mention that they allow pets?yes You can let your cute dog join you having your coffee 😊
Double chocolate biscotti with warm English Breakfast tea tasted good in the gold weather. I don't think Am a fan of their biscotti and i wish it is a bigger portion. Service as if you are in a fast food restaurant and i feel the quality of the service need to be upgraded. I recommend this place but not for my style.
I usually don't eat too much sugary food. Their cakes, the carrot one and the caramel one, made me think twice and then went for it. Excellent baking skills, I should say.
One of the most and healtiest and tastiest kitchen in Dubai. Value for money is good and I am recommending this place people who is looking for organic and healthy foods.
If you are looking for a kids & pet friendly cafe that sell organic food it’s a good option. The experience is same as Starbucks or Costa cafe as you pay for your order and they hand you a number to place on your table. Nice outdoor seating the service is alright they take sometime to heat and serve the order even though it’s ready made. The kale pomegranate salad was nice as mushroom Brie sandwich was alright but they need to be a bit more generous with the filling. The pesto salmon pasta was flavorless as it barely had pesto and the salmon wasn’t fresh it felt old so no one had the salmon. The deserts were really good specially the carrot cake not too sweet and no dry just perfect texture. The coffee is very good as well. All in all it’s a good place to spend some time specially outdoor seating.
Loved the ambience and the overall setting. A pet friendly place. Loved the coffee and eggs done to my taste. The bagel could have been a little softer than it was.
Numerous times we have been and it never fails. The carrot cake is a must try. SOOOO yummy. the healthy salads are quick and easy on the go and the Sandwiches yum. it just shows simple food done well will never die and never fail. See you guys on Thursday.
Recommendation:
*carrot cake
*Caramel shortcake
This is a cafe with a homey ambience. Situated in jumeirah, across La Mer, this is a place where you can chill without the crowd.
Visited this place for an early bite.. tried their carrot cake and a chicken sandwich(don’t remember which exactly)!! What I loved most was the atmosphere this cozy place presented!!
Was craving something sweet, walked into Lime Tree as they were about closing, then ordered the triple chocolate brownie and a slice of their cheesecake. Both tasted good but the brownie was a bit dense (thick) so I advise they sell it already cut into smaller cubes just to make it easier to consume. The cheesecake tasted great no complaints there, only complaint is how early they close. Apart from the 4/5
Went for breakfast. Familiar problem for vegetarians. Settled for baked beans with Feta which was nice. Better half had halloumi sandwich which was good as well. Lovely cakes as well. Place is about 20% too expensive for my liking which prevents me from making it my regular hangout .
My favourite cafe in Dubai hands down - I’ve been coming here pretty much since it opened when I was a kid! I love that there are plenty of healthy and vegetarian options as well as an incredible list of smoothies (kiwi and mint coolers are both 10/10) but a few naughty options if you’re feeling sweet! The coffee is kiwi standard too!
Standout cakes, they speak my mind when I eye them across the pane. Unique flavors. The place is beautiful and charming. Simple ingredients fresh as they come. Friendly staff. Our fav spot for a quiet Friday morn (only if u arrive early though:)) free water. Thank you!
One of the best restaurants I have ever been. Ambience is very classy. They have the best home made sandwiches. We ordered Lemon roasted chicken sandwich, carrot cake and orange juice. All tasted very homemade. Value for money
Always excellent food and good portion!
We had weekdays brunch and it was quiet and relaxing. There are some goods that I could buy such as chutney and jams. I hope they can do more various breakfast homemade jams.
enjoyed a yummy cappuccino...along with a good breakfast...should visit again to try their desserts...been hearing so much about their lemon cake 🍰
Ambience 5* - located in the forefront of Jumeirah Road. Chic interior as well.
Food 4* carrot cake for me is their best seller.
Service 4* nice and polite but limited staff.

Always a great place to go to. I just wish there was a choice of vegan or dairy free sweets 😉 I needed something refreshing so I went for a mango mint drink (AED30). It was super refreshing and went down a treat.
I came here for brunch this week with some friends and we were all pleased with our experience. From the friendly staff ,quick service and good food! All three of us ordered a sharing haloumi toastie with olive , lemon roasted chicken ,roast beef with mushroom and coffee.
I'd like to come back again earlier to try some of their breakfast items , as they had quite a selection of pastries by the counter, which smelled and looked amazing!

Always excellent.... I've been visiting The Lime Tree Cafe for more than 12 years.... Same amazing premium consistency.... I had the Avocado and Pouch Egg breakfast yesterday... was so good.... well done guys... Will come back again and again.... :)
peaceful atmosphere
been there with one of my friend
chicken sandwich ,carrot cake , cappuccino and lemonade cranapple deserve to be try once .
Lime tree cafe. we have been there I think twice . And both have been wonderful experiences their food is absolutely heathy and tasty which is a rare mix ,also they tend to serve a lot New Zealand based food. Their chocolate cake as seen in the pictures is absolutely Devine and just melts in your mouth, giving out that rich chocolate flavor with ty the smooth texture the ambience of the dinning area also is just relaxing and would be a good place to go if you want to hang with family , friends ,kids anybody.
We’ve had breakfast and lunch here a few times, the servers are just wonderful and have great memories it seems. We’ve sat inside and outside on the patio and enjoyed every time with delicious breakfast and lunch. Must try!
This place is my favourite for an amazing triple chocolate brownie and their signature carrot cake!
Definitely the best in the town for the desserts.
The only reason I rated it 3.5 is because the last time I tried their mushroom rissotto and pumpkin quiche it lacked flavour and seemed just extremely bland.
I love this place for the taste. The prices are a little steep but worth the taste. We tried the triple chocolate brownie which came with warm chocolate sauce, brilliant.
Egg-cellent service and nice chill vibe. Go for breakfast and a great coffee. Sit outside and pet a dog while you wait. You will not be disappointed.
Good variety of salads and desserts. Lovely ambience! You can get some good organic stuff from their retail area. Lot of parking outside. Good views from their first floor balcony seating area.
For a casual, outdoor weekend breakfast.. Lime Tree has the perfect ambiance..
I love this place for its cosy set up and the definitely has the best carrot cake ever :))
The smoothies and nutritional blends are worth a try as well..
I would be visiting it more often if they had a better variety of vegetarian items on the menu...Tarun Kumar Thakar
Was searching for a dog friendly cafes around the area and found Lime Tree Cafe. Indeed a nice breakfast place with very good ambiance. Good servings too. Really appreciate also for giving my dog a bowl of water (with ice!🙂), however, the bowl was really dirty. At first i thought it was some flavorings added to the water but looked twice and it was like a soil/rusty dog bowl 😯
This is place is one of my favorites especially when it comes to breakfasts. The English breakfast is wholesome and filling. The desserts are pretty good too! One of the very few restaurants to allow pets!:) The kids are taken care of too with a separate play area. Overall, a good early morning experience especially during weekends.
Nice casual cafe - just had a coffee and the delicious three cheese scones here when I visited. They had lots of sandwiches and salads and baked goods on offer and a great little shop with jams, a few cookbooks, and lots of biscuits and other treats. Would come back! :)
Update: came and tried the pistachio and carrot cake. Wasn’t as good as their famous carrot cake, but to be fair that is a very hard cake to beat! I enjoyed it.
Lime tree is a place me and my friends keep coming back to between work hours because of the atmosphere and easy access to already prepared homemade food.
They play nice music and have a large selection of deserts and sell some already packaged merchandise which are all made in dubai
Their selection of food varies from week to week
And so does their selection of freshly baked deserts
You just enter pick what you want pay and youll get a table number
Today we had a Roasted Chicken Toastie which was exactly as what you expect when you look at it not more or less
Second item we tried was Cumin rice with dates and chicken which was alright; better ordered as a side to share rather than a main
The iced tea lemon is something you keep coming back for!
For desert we had the carrot cake with the cheese frosting which is one of the best carrot cakes ive had ; from a scale of 1 -> INSANE
I rate it : INSANNNNNNE!!!!!
The interior is very chill and there is another floor upstairs where people can sit work or students can study
Its a quick in and out for people on lunch breaks but a much healthier one!
Cute cafè in Jumeirah. I like the chilled atmosphere - there are lots of magazines you can flick through while you have coffee/breakfast. We have been here 3 times now, and it is consistently good. Today we had:
-Vegetarian breakfast: Scrambled eggs on toast (so good!), grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, wilted spinach and potato hash.
- Their famous carrot cake
- One latte and one macchiato
The bill was 103 AED.
Their cake was very good, but maybe not super fresh. I felt it could have been moister. Coffee was good, and so was the veggie breakfast. Service was also attentive.A nice place for a lazy breakfast, at a fair price for the quality that you get.
They've hit the sweet spot in terms of ambiance-foodquality-valueformoney. I havent been to their other locations so cant really comment on that. Their bakery is one of the better ones in dubai. Tried their 'famous carrot cake' and I have to say it lived upto its reputation. Will surely be coming back soon.
this Restaurant's main good thing is that they serve organic food. Not pricey at all for the food they offer, Found about this restaurant in Zomato, so I decided to go there with a few of my friends. we went there, ordered and enjoyed the food.
they had very attentive staff, their food was fresh and clean. we ordered their home made turkish pide and Mediteranian vegetables.
Everything at this restaurant is so wholesome and fulfilling !
From the quinoa , buckwheat salads to sandwiches to fresh juices - everything is a must try.
They do home catering too and the delicacies such as crab cakes , mini sandwiches , and sliders are quite amazing
I've been to lime tree for breakfast. The meal was very light and rich- location is nice and quiet.. not very crowded early morning, staff are friendly...

Keep it Fresh, Healthy Light & Good!
Just the perfect combo when you're looking at exploring the right eating recipes.
Of course but just eating right is not enough it's also got to be eaten at the right time, hence the place shuts by 6pm 😊
Overall vibe: Looking for a bite without guilt, this is a good option.
Only bit I wish the food had a little bit more moist, whether it should be saucier or the temp it needs to be served it. Felt it missed out on a home run there..

One of my favorite places in Dubai. They serve the best carrot cake (I have tried so many) in town. I also love the ambience, the service, and everything about it :) I have recommended this place to family and friends.
I love the breakfasts at Limetree. Their pastry selection is wide and the outdoor seating are is very relaxing during winter time. Eggs are cooked to perfection. Great option for breakfast in Dubai
Could probably give two different ratings for Lime Tree- a 5er for breakfast and 3er for rest of the day, specially evening.
Should only visit the place up to lunch time after which the options are scarce and limited. Lime Tree has been around for ages and has been giving out delicious and healthy breakfasts over the years.
But the secret is hidden in their cakes. Carrot cake has no alternative in UAE!
Very family friendly and bright sunlight allows for a relaxing meal and conversations.
Avoid the place in the evening though, they apparently dont have a chef in the evening hours.
The first aspect that stands out about the cafe is it's ambience - warm, cozy, and absolutely inviting. I enjoyed their food - favorite being the haloumi toastie with olive and thyme tomatoes. Nothing compares to the carrot cake though - the best I have had in town yet!
This place is an absolute delight for people who enjoy outdoor and rustic yet homely seating environment. We have been there over the weekend and it is always crowded! That says a lot about this place. They serve complimentary lemon water and it is an absolute life saver during the summers.
Parking is never a problem and the Jumeirah one, i feel has a better setting.
We have tried their big breakfast and the portions are huuugge!
They have some good variety of sandwiches. We tried their lemon chicken sandwich and new zealand beef with portobello mushroom. Former is not spicy but tastes amazing and the latter is a bit sweet due to the tomato relish.
Their carrot cake is apparently quite famous but we ended up having the berry crumble cheesecake! it was just the right amount of sweet and comparable to the other cheesecake connoisseurs in the region!
All in all - a must try if you are looking for a quick bite when in Jumeirah.
How was the food?
Good place for a hearty breakfast - tomatoes, spinach, home made hash brown, eggs and bread. Lime Tree also has healthy options and good seatings - outdoor and indoor. Do try their famous carrot cake!
How was the ambience?
It will be a challenge though to find seats on a weekend
How was the staff?
Busy
How was the price?
Average of 25 for the cake
Will I recommend it?
Yes for a good breakfast weekend with friends
Love that Lime Tree Cafe Jumeirah is a dog friendly place.
Food is always good and service fast and efficient. Since they have been around since forever, don't think u need much introduction.
Try it!
Went with friends for breakfast after recommendation, nice place with eye friendly interior.
Excellent and fast service.
Breakfast is delicious, especially scons.

Nice location, I love the carrot and chocolate cakes that they have to offer, and in addition to the coffees, it's just perfect for a afternoon out with a friend.
The best carrot cake so far. The cake is moist and visible traces of carrots, with the perfectly sweetened cream cheese filling. Will definitely come back for another slice :)
Good Breakfast and lunch spot. I like the fact that their food has that home made feel to it, the portion sizes are huge, not that I am complaining. This place is great, jut need more staff.
I went to a children's party that was catered by the Lime Tree cafe. There was an eclectic spread of finger foods that were fresh and tasty.
Often pass by this place and feel the urge to check it out, and I finally did! Lovely food, which is also a treat to the eyes.
Didn't have too many options in the savoury section as such, being a vegetarian. Settled for a banana blueberry blend and a slice of pistachio cake with lemon and ginger cream cheese frosting, and wasn't disappointed at all. Safe to say, I will be going back very soon!
Perfect place if you appreciate perfection in food. Excellent quality food and a wide variety of carefully prepared food. An old time client to this place, never got disappointed. Carrot cake is a must!
This Jumeirah branch is where it all started for the Lime Tree Café. It’s hard to believe it was fifteen years ago – wow! How time flies. Back then the Lime Tree was one of a handful of trendy cafés catering (mainly) to the European community in Jumeirah. Whilst it’s still catering to the Europeans, it isn’t alone anymore. In fact, for every one Lime Tree Café (there are now three) I think I can safely say that there are a dozen newcomers fighting for the same consumers. So it’s a testament to their enduring concept and the quality of their food that their restaurants are always still full.
Very lovely place. Nice ambience and the food is delicious. Went for breakfast and the eggs were spectacular. There's a nice indoor and outdoor area and even a place for kids.
I had a sweet breakfast there which was americano and lemon cheesecake.
Not the strongest coffee but still good and the cheesecake was great but the crust was a bit stale.
I love their ambiance though and the positive vibes you get there.
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Food: 3/5

We ordered posh breakfast and the veggie breakfast. Posh breakfast has smoked salmon, egg and bread while the veg one consists of tomatoes, spinach, home made hash brown, eggs and bread. This was the best hash brown and mushrooms I had so far. The potatoes used in hash brown seemed really fresh and it blended well with the herbs. The mushrooms were big, juicy and were done perfectly.
Price was just right for the quality and quantity of food. The vibes of this place was amazing.
A must try.
Went there after ages with a guest!! I guess it's my fav brunch place!! Being in Dubai, he decided to try the local one - breakfast option, now I had never had that, so couldn't advise him against it. Well it looked sooo boring compared to the big one or my eggs Florentine!! But anyhow he had it!! Just boiled eggs, few olives and halloumi cheese in zaatar and sumak. I'm still feeling bad for his choice!! While my eggs Florentine was delicious, I was in the mood for eggs Benedict, it's my all time favorite, and they make it quite well but didn't have it yesterday. The ice tea was alright, usually I go for the nice big vanilla shake, but wanted to keep it light!! I'm now looking forward to the winters to go there again!! It's just much nicer sitting outside!! :)
Had roast sandwich and it was amazing, the atmosphere was quite and calm, and the price is great , would try again, specially during winter
Great place to visit for breakfast.. it's a nice cafe which serves good food
We tried their eggs Benedict, French toast and chicken bacon toastie and it was good... their coffee is also quite good but a little mild bodied...at the end tried their famous carrot cake which was also good... the only thing I didn't like was the self service or pay at the till kind of concept...the fact that their prices are at par with competitors I expected a proper sit in ordering taking restaurant... some people might like this concept but I felt it was a money saving tactic from the owners... however food is good and I ll come back for more.
If owners r reading this please change the self ordering n paying concept. It is not for dubai...
Variety of options, tasty food and great ambience. Summer or winter...doesnt matter. Being veggies, my wife and I didnt have any issues selecting veg options. We received the food within 10 mins of placing the order. The only let down we felt was the lady at the counter taking our order, who seemed unhappy on being asked a few questions. If we knew we wouldnt ask her what was the signature veg dish at lime tree or could we replace our mint lemongrass drink with a coffee! Minus this, we loved the place and would recommend to anyone else.
The first of its kind I would think serving what is to date still my favourite carrot cake in all the land! Really nice food and excellent location. Friendly staff and nice vibes.
A cafe revered religiously by its Jumeirah patrons, Lime Tree serves up excellent coffee and cafe treats in a living room setting.
*A homely aura dissipates from the villa style eatery and outdoor seating outside is a treat for the cooler seasons.
*Most items from the menu are well balanced but the display with its colourful display of salads is enticing. You wont go wrong choosing any one of those. The coffee here is the real star with a smooth blend and executed really well.
*Priced better than most others on the strip help this stalwart remain the top choice amongst families and other punters alike.
*Long waits in the order queue and early closing times can be tough,especially over the weekends but the atmosphere is unique and draws folks regardless.
