Okay so. Came here exclusively for the coffee by encounter roasters.
Got my self some great Ethiopian kochere, speaking to the barista was a delight.
Hope to see the roasters in operation next time.
Picked up some bread pudding to go and boy it was delish!
The server asked if she wanted it with some ice cream on the side, which I plan to do next time i sit there.
The pastry selection did not appeal to me. The fruits seemed a little dried up, is that by design? ( No info on that) I hope you can do something about that.
They have valet parking, which at the point I was not aware of and had to buzz around for 40 min for a parking spot.
Coming back in a week maybe. Running out of beans here.
Been eyeing this place for a while and finally got a chance to try their in-house made pastries. Their famous Korean style Garlic Bread. Its a garlicky soft bread roll with delicious cream cheese centre. Best served warm. Priced at 28dhs. But worth every penny.
I also tried their Taleggio Cheese & Veal Bacon croissant roll and their Pain au Chocolat. Both were insanely delicious.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the food quality at a reasonable price. Staffs are very friendly and attentive. Will definitely dine in again. ❤️
Very good restaurant!!!! Different menu and place is nice!
The staff are very nice ! Love this place!!!
The Sum of Us has been on my list to visit for brunch and I'm glad that I finally did. Even in the midst of a pandemic, the cafe was completely packed on a Saturday for brunch which says a lot about the food served. After a 15 minute wait to get a table, we settled on ordering a couple of hot chocolates and ricotta pancakes. The pancakes were fluffy, less on the sweeter side and were perfectly complimented by passionfruit mascarpone, strawberries and peanut brittle. This has for sure become my go to place when I crave for pancakes.
Looking forward to trying out more items from their menu and bakery.
Only 6 words "go here you will love it"
They have an incredible range of fresh coffee they brew , smell of the fresh bakery variety, nice greeny airy vibe , lovely food especially the Benedict's ,French toast , their special coffee and all the fresh fruit smoothie.
I just loved this place!
Bookmarked this cafe since so long but finally tried it on eid weekend. With such great reviews and rating, i went there with high hopes and honestly it was much above my expectations. With amazing options of breakfast, this place serves great coffee and sourdough bread. The taste is amazing. Staff is courteous and its very neat and clean. Do try their avocado toast and acai bowl.
Would definitely visit again 👏
Best Coffee in town, Period! There's no place like Sum of Us! Although I wish they had more staff especially during crowded weekends. It gets really difficult to get the server's attention! Will probably look at going on weekdays!

It’s our first time to try this place and it is absolutely fantastic! Another place to sit & work and be creatively inspired!
We shared Grilled Prawn Tacos (it’s quite spicy) and Roasted Pumpkin Risotto (heaveeeen!). For drinks we had Blueberry & Mint with Star Anise (a little too tangy) and Raspberry & Peach Lemonades.
Will definitely be back and try Encounter coffee! 😻
One of my favorite place for breakfast when it comes to enjoying some healthy breakfast vibes, so kind staff and food is just great, a lot of cakes, croissants options
They also serve of of best coffee
A must try is the the mushroom quesadilla and salted caramel French toast for breakfast. The ambiance is very nice, such a cute and cozy place to hang out. Looking forward to trying their lunch/dinner options.
Love their set up especially the outdoors!! There is really a great positive vibe in this place that’s perfect to start your day. Coffees and good selection of detox drinks and smoothies, some nice breakfast options all good to kickstart the day!!
My first cup of coffee after marrying my husband. He took us here because of it being the “The Sum of Us” and the coffee and food was amazing with cozy atmosphere as was such a perfect day. If you want consistently good food this is the place.
Never disappointed with the sum of us!
Loved the coffee. Ordered a cookie. Not disappointed.
The best breakfast we had in our time in Dubai. Everything was delicious (coffees too), and service was great and prompt. Lovely airy cafe with lovely pastries too. Highly recommended.
For long chats or need to catchup with friends, take them here. The Sum of Us is conveniently tucked-in behind Sheraton Hotel along Sheikh Zayed Road.
Fresh brewed coffee, great selections of pastries and would you believe, Roast Duck & Paratha! Two of my favorite things fused together.
Ahhh the search is over! Walked from DIFC to the dead end at Fairmont Hotel looking for a place I have seen somewhere in Instagram, but could not remember the name. Did not know where it was exactly...so it was an adventure. Just a minute before giving up... I turned a corner, spotted a small sign and there it was! The place is at the back of Sheraton Hotel, and it was an amazing hole in the wall. Cozy, quiet, and the food? The best! I love trying new desserts and I fell in love with their cruftin—a cross between a croissant and a muffin. Also, they serve the best affogato! And service makes you feel like a VIP! Will definitely go back for more.
Except for the Lemon Mint drink everything else was perfect. it was my first time here and absolutely loved it.
Tried Huli Huli Chicken Burger because it sounded funny. (4/5)
Fish & Chips was not that great, too much oil (2/5)
Carrot cake was really good as well. (4/5)
Gluten-free Chocolate Brownie (3.5/5)
Ended with Hot Chocolate.
It was wonderful experience to have breakfast yesterday at “The Sum of us” with one of my friend. We had French toast, açai bowl and omelette with cheese & mushroom. I’m honestly satisfied with the service of Mr. Usman Khan. His way of customer greeting / service is amazing. My friend came all the way from New Jersey he’s very glad to have this kind restaurants and service in Dubai. I must visit again with family and kids soon. Cheers
After the Dubai run, we decided to head to a massive breakfast and I must say I enjoyed every bit of it. But accept one dish.
-Shakshuka - I was extremely disappointed because I have had the best Shalshuka in Tom & Serg and this was purely just like an Indian Pan Bhaki not done well. The curry was not sorted properly and I was getting onion and tomato as a whole in the mouth. It has to be paste than what they served..
Orange Cake- I loved this and carried back home and ate in bits and pieces..Not very sweet and the cake base was moist along with the cream.
Croissant- A must try and super yummy..
Ambiance - During the weekend it can get really busy so please remove lots of time for the order to be placed, eating and billing as well. The ambiance is perfect for winter and outdoor seating is beautiful.
This place gets a 5 star for the burger which is really good, however the desert menu was sadly lacking.
In drinks I tried the Encounter (sweet) and Bee Bliss both were good.
A special thanks to the staff there we were a big group and they managed our order really well.
Loved the vibe and everything we ordered especially the lamb chops.
I love a good breakfast to start my day and the sum of us did just that for me. I had their ricotta pancakes with some berries and maple syrup and how yummy! Consistency of the pancakes were nice and fluffy and had just the right sweetness to it. Will definitely be back again
Well, I went to The Sum of Us for a coffee break but found myself falling in love with their charcoal chicken lying there on the tastiest bed of freekeh! Absolutely delicious and satisfying to all taste buds! The herbs combination is best.
As for coffee, well I forgot all about it as soon as I indulged in this beauty. I honestly did not like their coffee.
This cafe has a lot if new age decor and has a unique look where the lights match the logo so there is a lot of uniformity.
The food options are limited but they have a good mix of veg, vegan and non veg options.
I really like the buckwheat noodles and my friend enjoyed his chicken burger, everything is gourmet and healthy but tastes good as well.
There are a bunch of options for drinks and dessert, coffee looks like the speciality here as they grind their own fresh coffee beans.
The staff is alright no complaints there.
One of the best place to have breakfast or coffee. We tried the Tsou Shakshouka and the Smashed Avocado along with the Cappuccino and Latte which was very well prepared and presented. The place was recommended by a colleague, we thoroughly enjoyed and had a great experience. Highly recommend to everyone.
Visited this cafe recently and they have such delicious food, kind staff, chic, spacious and good ambiance though I wish they had more vegan options.
I always order coffee and salad here. I love their coffee too much. It has perfect amount of sugar, milk and coffee powder. It is brewed perfectly. I just love it
Bhavini Jain / Byond Food
+4
Warm ambience, spacious, clean interiors
Just the right vibe for breakfast & coffee.
Two sections - AC & small open air
Good options for vegan & veg ( without egg )
Food is delicious
Some great options of smoothies, juices, desserts
They have live coffee bean roaster with awesome coffees, live kitchen & coffee bar.
You can also pick some fresh breads for home
Service is good
Overall love the place
This artisanal venue is worth seeking out for brews made from beans roasted in-house using hand-crafted equipment. Catch all the action through the show kitchen-style glass walls of the custom roastery and chat with the passionate roast-masters, as you take your pick from their wide selection of coffees - from single-origin espressos to cold-brews (the menu is helpfully coded for newbies). They also have a creatively-crafted food menu featuring fresh and healthy bites, making it the perfect lunch pit-stop.
This was only my 3rd time visiting Sum of Us since moving to Dubai, but it was still a good experience. I like the atmosphere and ambiance and I always enjoy the coffee. And it’s a great place to bring family on the weekend. Out of all the F&B venues to come from Bull&Ro Hospitality, this is my favorite for sure.
This is a place I’ve visited many times and is a great place for breakfast but after going for dinner I was disappointed. I had the barramundi Thai curry and have to say it definitely missed the mark. The fish was cooked perfectly with an amazing crust but unfortunately it was far to salty. The curry broth just didn’t hit the mark as it lacked the distinctive Thai flavors of spices, sweet, sour and salty. It did hit the salty part but lacked in everything else. I think the chef didn’t taste this dish before sending it out. Other than this experience it’s a great place for breakfast and the coffees great too.
Loved the vibe here.... Ambience was great... Music was spot on... Only the food was not that great but the selection of wines and drinks was good... great place to be visited with friends and to chill
Lovely place and great ambience, Pan seared Salmon was on point..!!! My first visit here, truly hidden gem.. the ricotta pancakes sounded tempting.. and so did the select brews.. the business lunch @85dhs also looked good.. will be back to try out more..
Very very nice Poached eggs with Avocado on organic toast and Fish finger sandwich.
Food quality is very high and the organic bread they use is exceptional.
Portion size is plenty big enough and certainly leave feeling full.
If had to be very critical, the waiting staff could be more attentive as found it really hard to get attention even though not busy.
The bread is amazing and they shouldn’t change it however, the poached eggs on bread is actually really hard to eat as it’s super hard to cut through. Maybe a sharper knife ... not sure .
Overall , great venue and really good food. Me and my eating partner Dishante will be coming again
The place has a good ambience for breakfast. We ordered a breakfast platter, coffee and macha tea. everything on the table was so delicious!!!
Very very pretty place!!! Its behind the Sheraton G. The drinks are good, fish and chips are okie. I like the atmosphere- very relaxed. It's sad they have hard chair - no cushion.... but it is acceptable haha
Great food, amazing ambience. We ordered coffee, and their ricotta pancakes, salted caramel French toast - all dishes were superb. This place is a hidden gem - must try for all breakfast lovers!
Great ambience....yummilicious food. Quality of food is very good...Good coffee with a vast range of selection and preparation methods. Quiet place in the buzzing Sheikh Zayed Road. Exceptional service. Good range of healthy food.
Very nice place in DIFC
It's a bit hidden behind the Sheraton hotel.
Good news is that they do have valet parking, since it's a nightmare to park in that area.
The place has 2 floors
We attended an event on the top floor
Food was good and plenty. I just wish it was served a bit faster and more hot.
One of my favorite spots in Dubai. Usually come here to work remotely (internet is a +). Great food options for both breakfast and lunch. Here a few of my favorite dishes to date: Chia pudding (the lime curd is divine), prawn tacos, and sweet potato fries 🍟 (when freshly made - not reheated). The bee bliss smoothie is perfect to wash down the meals with. Great job!
Looking for breakfast isn’t always easy at 3pm. Stumbled upon this instagram and was excited to check it out. While the interior is lovely, the outdoors area is quaint and busy with quick lunch guests. The egg quesadilla was very filling and unique. The latte was pretty and could have been a little hotter. All In all I would return if I was in the area.
This place has a really cool vibe to it. Love the outdoor seating and the indoors equally. The weather was really good so we took an outdoor seating and tried the Acai Bowl, it was delightful. Presented well and tasted great !
Will be back to try some more of their other cool stuff
Visited this beautiful cafe in the heart of the city for late breakfast. Had tropic thunder drink and smashed avocado toast. The drink was good but maybe the taste of banana in it was too overpowering. The avocado toast was good and fulfilling although I expected a smaller portion. The staff here is very friendly and served me really well. Would love to drop by again soon.
I had one of the best brunch at the sum of us! I ordered the poached salmon Benedict, it was the first I try poached eggs with cooked salmon and not smoked, however it tasted really good!
This is kind of my regular place for snacks and coffees most of the time when I am around the place. It's quite lively place with buzzing crowd during lunch time.
Today been there for lunch and opted for their business lunch which a two course meal. Ordered tomato & buffalo mozzarella salad with basil chimichuri and arugla which was packed with flavour. And for the main, ordered Korean BBQ salmon with black beans & eggplant, sticky rice and cucumber & broccoli salad. Also had their detox drink with carrot juice and lemonade.
I really enjoyed the food and specially Arlene who served me was very polite and cortious though my main got slightly delayed. Understood that due to rush hour. But it was delicious and I didn't want to make a noise.
In afternoon, again I bumped in for a cup of tea which I really enjoyed it as well.
Recommend to anyone who likes a casual lunch in a place which makes you happy for the money you spend and this is truly a hidden gem.
The sum of us is a hidden treasure at the Sheikh Zayad Road. Loved their drinks specially the blue berry one. The taste is totally different and the ambiance is beautiful.
Busy cafe with great interior but not so great service. The staff are friendly but we were hardly checked on or asked if we would like refills of our coffee. The prices are also a little bit ridiculous considering just how small the portion sizes are. Yes the food and coffee taste great but do I think it’s worth the price tag? Not really..... used to be one of my favorite cafes but this last visit left me disappointed. Maybe they were just having an off day ...
Over all delicious but expensive
Cozy place, I likeed the competition of chili flaks,l Lemon and avocado. Stuff are friendly and you may sit outside in winter. Valet parking available.
Green bowl was great...very chewy but that is how I feel the first meal of the day should be... It was complete.. Sumptuous and tasty. Liked the chia pudding with gojo berries equally. Biggest surprise was celery cucumber juice, since I did not order it. Not sure it was complementary or somebody made a genuine mistake....well whatever, thanks! I enjoyed it...it was natural, plain juice with no added anything... Every sip was refreshing.... Thanks for the meal.. Namaste!
Had my 1st bad experience in the last 4 deliveries. The acai sorbet had completely melted. :-(
Amazing place if you wanna have breakfast. Great coffee as well. Had dinner here earlier and it was amazing honestly. Staff were friendly and the ambiance is lovely. I should visit this place more often.
Lovely place, great staff, mind blowing breakfast. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience! Please try their wild mushroom omelette, and their chili jam paratha is a bomb of a fusion in your mouth!
The atmosphere around there is so energetic! Greeted with a big smile and the most friendly attitude! Tried their “Magic” coffee and it was perfect 👌🏼 ordered the salmon Benedict and it was more than expected l, delicious and breakfast-satisfying with zero regrets. Will come again along with friends as well.
Everything is amazing at the Sum of Us. Try to go after lunch (2pm-5pm) when there's less people grabbing lunch to sit outside (during colder months). You won't reget it! I'm not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars yet. I usually travel across the city just to have their big breakfast! Their menu is a refreshing selection of healthy dishes and something for your cheat days. Their coffee is amazing and it's a joy to come back to. I highly recommend their Salted Caramel French Toast (if you're living on the Marina side of Dubai, Tom & Serg serves a similar plate). I also really like their Kimchi Bowl! Excited to try other dishes too. Staff are rockstars & all-in-all an amazing dining experience if you're with friends or on a self-date.
It was my go to place when I was living in the same building. They have many healthy food options and delicious desserts. What stroke me back then was the home made coke. I found it quite exciting. I was having avocado salad very often there. Also, around the new year eve time, they had a special cake which I can’t forget.
They offer valet parking.
One of the best breakfasts I have had in Dubai with the person I love the most. We had a plate of mushroom toast and eggs and paratha. The ambience is so welcoming and extremely classy and clean. The staff were very warm. I would for sure come back again.
There are few places who understand coffee, and Sum of Us is definately of them and thankfully they are in my office building.
Top marks for coffees, ambiance, staff.
Frankly I never got an oppurtunity for a breakfast or lunch so cant comment much, but had picked up sandwiches on the go. The bread chese and vegetables were fresh and nothing to complain.
Request: please start a coffee delivery at least in same building.
Lovely place for breakfast!
Located on Sheikh Zayed Road in one of the big towers you will not expect to find such a lovely place with good atmosphere. I been there on a Sunday morning and the place was busy, so i guess is popular! They have even a little flower shop inside! The menu has good options of dishes for everyone even me with my gluten and dairy intolerance. I loved their acai bowl and green bowl. The coffee is good and strong- the place has their own roastery you can see it when you are seating there. Must try for breakfast!
The Sum of Us is the sibling of Tom & Serge and Common Grounds and continues with delivering a casual-yet-trendy and high quality eating experience. The menu’s core is wholesome, comfort food that is healthy and tasty, the sort of menu that you could quite easily graze off five lunches a week and never get bored. Staff are friendly and will even give you valet parking if you spend a modest amount dining in. Worthy of mention are the almond croissants - the new standard!
Good food, good atmosphere, good location. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the menu about 1 year ago but dimes over the weekend for brekkie and the new menu changes have made a lot of difference. My breakfast recommendation is lobster on toast (gluten free toast available) and the coffee is always good here. I think they have an in house coffee roaster.
It is located on the ground floor of Burj Al Salam in the same building of the Sheraton Grand Hotel from the back. They have a valet parking service. Like proud mothers, they make everything from scratch, they bake their own bread, roast their own coffee and fillet their own fish. From the first day when I discovered it this August, it became my favorite spot.
I found 'the one'..... best breakfast dish I have had in Dubai for the past 7 years. Mushroom Quesadilla.... if I could give more stars I would. As a whole the cafe has a great look, vibe and has good valet parking upfront; ticks all the boxes for me.
4 stars for the place an ambience. 5 stars for their breakfast special (been having the soft shell crab breakfast specials for the past month now!)
Their coffee's good too. Better than what you get from Starbucks.
First of all: I LOVE THE ALMOND CROISSANT! I heard about this store from a year ago. Lots of my colleague were saying its nice place to go for brunch. I have to admit, my first experience here was great. I love the decor, i love the menu option, basically everything was perfect. My friend and I ordered an Acai bowl, and Rissotto. Also an almond crox and some hot bevies. Everything was divine. Good taste, good presentation, i’ll defo come back soon to try other menu!
A lot is already in reviews about THE SUM OF US as this is a very popular restaurant in Dubai, especially for breakfasts. It is placed just behind the Grand Sheraton Hotel off SZR with some street parking but also Valet parking available.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Beautiful interiors with light woods, tall ceilings, plants and a central serving area laden with cakes and pastries. There is double the restaurant floor as it has an upstairs eating area too
- Service is surprisingly fast given how busy it is and the amount of floor space available
- Lobster Toast is a delicious breakfast option with crispy sourdough, smashed avocado, nuggets of poached lobster, diced green tomato salsa and brightened with lime mayo and lemon juice
- Huevos Rancheros was a daily weekend special filled with sausages, poached eggs, herbed sausages in a tortilla bowl crowed with micro herbs - this should move to the menu full time!
- Cold brew is smooth but a little small portion wise
- fresh juices
I am looking forward to coming here for lunch or dinner to experience the rest of the menu.
A casual dinning place with seating indoor and outdoor. Popular for Bakery and Salad.
Lamb ribs are good with Sourdough Garlic Bread
Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream delicious dessert.
