Absolutely love this place, I'm here quite a lot on my days off with my Friends and I recently just took my mum For breakfast and she absolutely loved it. The Acai bowl is one of my favourite dishes there � staff are super friendly and they make you feel
Welcome and comfortable. I don't know why people complain about the service because it's always been quick. Deserts are very good and the food itself is healthy. Great place would totally recommend for everyone to try it out! And you also have Ladies who Lunch days which is really good value and great choice of food! �����
Usually in Dubai the food is good but the service is poor or the service is good but the food is poor! After only the second time visiting I was welcomed back by name and the food was delivered to perfection! The coffee was hot and delicious. ... Common Ground you have mastered the best breakfast experience! Love this place!
Fantastic vegan Iftar. Please continue with set vegan menus after Ramadan 😊 I especially like the smashed avo and smoked chickpea starter- delicious!
Great service too. Thank you.
Not only the best coffee in Dubai, but the best breakfast too! The big breakfast was AMAZING! Our server Patrick was excellent too!
Great place, tasty food and best coffee in UAE!!!
Really advanced coffee passion here�
However I noticed a lot of new super confused stuff....
Going big it's not always going better�
We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at common grounds Dubai this evening... My husband, kids and I all absolutely loved our food. Quick service, friendly smiles and presentation was impeccable.
Can't wait to go back and have the same dish. (Also going to buy the exact dinner set they serve their food on)
Thanks for a great yummy wholesome dinner!!!!! �
Amazing place. The kids loved it. The staff is very friendly
The Jerk Chicken is out of this world. The staff are some of the best in Dubai and being able to pick up a decent coffee in the mall in now possible. Love you guys
I am so happy that this place has opened! Fab service, delicious, perfectly cooked food, and great coffee. My new go-to for breakfast.
Loved the Keto breakfast! Exactly what I needed and tasted so good. Really liked the masala topping they add to the avocado too.
Great food and service. I should’ve come here sooner. The Turkish eggs were amazing with sourdough bread. Although they are served with ciabatta bread.
Team is so friendly, cafe atmosphere is amazing and the food is yummy 😋 try the seared tuna bowl it’s amazing 🤩
By far one of the best burgers I have had . I am not usually a burger fan but they appeared to have changed their menu and I took a chance on this beauty. I had the Bronte Burger ,sweet potatoe fried with clean green juice . Total damage 100.80AED. I could have done with a bit more fried though .
This place has a beautiful ambiance and such a nice place to relax and have a small talk with a friend. The service was amazing, Kim was very accommodating. I would highly recommend their açai bowl especially the homemade granola on it. Looks and tastes delicious! Would definitely come back for it💯
A freshly baked croissant with a strong coffee is the perfect combination to lift your spirits. I highly recommend their bakery items.
Ordered the vegan tempura fish tacos which were absolutely delicious- very fresh taste and big portion.
Also tried turmeric latte with their in house almond milk which was super tasty! Highly recommend this place.
This place has a high quality hipsterish breakfast & lunch menu. I try to eat there whenever I go to MoE. However they removed some of the food that they had in their previous menu (bibimbap, also changed the recipe of the veal benedict) they are still good, but i’m missing the old ones :)
Love this restaurant. Amazing food taste and quality. I had the green lentil tacos, made vegan by removing the eggs and adding mushrooms. It is so delicious and had the vegan chocolate peanut butter cheesecake for desert. Fantastic! Will go there again! ❤️
So I was actually very in love with the Jerk Chicken they served before and it was one of my favorite dishes. Plus the aioli sauce with the sweet potato fries is amazing. But recently I went back to have the same dish again but they used a new recipe that incorporates different flavors (I believe it was mango) and I honestly was not a big fan and preferred the old version more.
The turmeric shot is woahhhhh. Lol good wake up call. I also loved the avocado toast with poached eggs. The muffin selection is also pretty neat. Its a nice spot to relax in.
Have been several times to sample the cronuts, breads and coffee. The service has always been exceptional with staff who have great knowledge on the brewing methods used. Fresh baked goods are consistently good and appealing! Keep it up guys
Ordered
Angus burger and kimchi salad
As well as prawns tacos 🌮
Good in quantity and quality
Pricing is reasonable and worthy
Healthy options and varieties
Traditional presentation and neat dine in facility
The place had a beautiful ambience and great service.. I just fail to understand why do they have promotions on tables for apps like a phone charging thingy.. Also, they were offering a desert for a zomato review.. All sorts of sweet bribes given.. But, anyway, would have given a review even without the desert.
Wow! Positively surprised and impressed with the quality and taste of the food there. Went there for breakfast and had the avocado on sourdough with 2 runny poached to start with. The bread was delicious, and the ricotta was a great original touch to soften the flavor. Then followed-up with pancakes with bananas and spiced maple syrup which were some of the best I've had in Dubai. The pancakes were sooo fluffy! And to add to that, really friendly waiters/waitresses make you feel at home. Definitely recommended.
Restaurant is located in 2 nd floor of the mall opposite of Sheraton hotel entrance. Food options are good for vegetarians and portions are good for the pay. Masara was the server, suggested good options and friendly. Ambiance is green with those small pots of cactus and wall hanging plants. Good value for money overall.
This restaurant has surprisingly delicious taste! Never imagined we could have this much gorgeous taste in this casually but nicely decorated cafe in MOE. Ordered Mekong Burger which tasted awesome with Jerk Chicken which also is mouth watery for those food lovers!
Australian Cafe in MOE with great quality of food...been there for both breakfast & lunch...Wholesome food made with the freshest ingredients. Friendly staff. Good place for meetings & lunch with friends. Highly recommend this place.

What a power packed restaurant!
Almost hidden from the hustle and bustle of the mall, Common Grounds is located in a small corner near the entrance of Sheraton Hotel. While you may think this will give the cafe a bit of seclusion, it is quite far from that. The restaurant is far too popular and packed during lunch hours to be a serene cafe.
We decided to stop by for lunch before going for a stroll in the mall. The ambience is definitely inviting. The decor is bright and modernistic with a trendy twist. It also has a lot of greenery around the cafe which gives it an open space vibe. In terms of spacing, the cafe is a bit small hence the seating arrangement seems a bit stuffy.
However, the food was an absolute delight. We tried the Acai Bowl and the classic Eggs Benedict. Although these dishes are popular everywhere and have limited variations in taste, These dishes at Common Grounds were absolutely full of flavour. The Acai Bowl consisted of bananas, strawberry, dragon fruit, cacao, dried raspberry and passion fruit. Every bite was a pop of freshness. The eggs benedict was cooked as requested (medium). The yolk mixed well with the warm and creamy Hollandaise sauce and it was scrumptious.
We also tried their fresh orange juice and cappuccino. As you guessed, the fresh orange juice was indeed fresh and rejuvenating. The cappuccino was also quite good. It was smooth and strong as well.
The service is quick and the servers were a mix of polite and curt. The pricing is fair and the portion size is ideal.
Overall a great place to visit.
Had a great breakfast here of eggs Benedict and a matcha latte.
Thought the food was great and the first time having matcha anything was a lovely experience.
Felt the service was great and the staff were very attentive however the prices are ridiculous for a cafe and would not return for another breakfast there. That’s just my personal opinion and wouldn’t say not to go there as their food is very good. However at those prices I do not think it is a great spot unless you’re looking to treat yourself.

I enjoy visiting this health conscious trendy restaurant fairly regularly for breakfast. The latte is one of my favourites accompanied with scrambled eggs, mushrooms and kale. They also offer healthy breakfast bowls and a vast menu of breakfast dishes.
Service wasn't really good. Food was fine.I didint like the orange juice. Quick service.If you are in a rush you can eat here. I don't think I will visit again
Visited this venue for the first time, for a semi casual breakfast meeting.
Attentive service, generous helpings; delicious options on the menu and appreciated that we were given time and space to work, as well as enjoy the very good breakfast and coffee.
Will definitely return!
If you have a thing for speciality coffee and healthy plate of food along with great service and affordable pocket pinch then this place is for you. Located in the Mall of Emirates, we really love their Pour over and Aeropress. The ambience is relaxed and casual. I remember ordering a Korean Bibimbap and Skewered lamb the last time I went. Quite recommend the former. I am definitely going back for brekky next time.
Great coffee - good selection of food on the menu, particularly their all day breakfast and all reasonably priced. Friendly staff with a relaxed attitude towards customers.
love the informal atmosphere here, very relaxed despite being in a busy, loud mall. I have been here once for lunch before, so decided to try their breakfast this time.
ordered the acai bowl, which tasted fresh, I would add that it was a good portion and reasonably priced, considering vegan or organic dishes in trendy cafes these days in Dubai are often overpriced. will be returning for more
The Huntr thinks that this is Dubai foodie entrepreneur duo – Tom & Serg’s – best work. We love to visit this Mall of the Emirates cafe for a late, leisurely weekend breakfast. We also love that we can walk away with a takeaway sourdough loaf, and the coffee is next level good. This place gets busy and sometimes the service can be a bit slow, but nonetheless, it’s one of Dubai’s best homegrown cafes and therefore a no-brainer addition to this special guide.
Specialty coffee shop right in Mall of Emirates.
This place has excellent coffee, I recommend you try any of their specialty origins in aeropress. Amazing desserts and bites and a really interesting concept.
My go to place for coffee in the mall. Really recommended!
An excellent place with a variety of breakfast options.keytone friendly too. The food is cooked very well and the service is great. Will be back here !
I visit a lot and am never disappointed, I am a dietician and love they way the put the dishes together. Good value for my dollars, Staff are fabulous. I dont mind the drive from another emirate to visit, Go you wont be disappointed
Love the food here. Good selection of healthy dishes. Best thing is that they serve Siracha with their food! They do some great coffee as well! Perfect place for a Friday family lunch.
love Common Grounds. Fast paced hip place to go. Food is always spot on, service is great. I have become Vegan so my choices are limited now. Please add mire vegan dishes
I love common ground and i always enjoy my food.
You can try many delicious yet healthy food.
My grains salad was great with the combination of avocado and cumin.
When you are at Mall of the emirates, give it a try.

Finding healthy options in Dubai is challenging! Common Grounds has healthy and wholesome dishes packed full of goodness. The menu is designed to keep your cholesterol down. (They do have unhealthy options too don't worry)
Great selection of green smoothies and salads! My favourite dish is the Kashmiri Florentine - Poached eggs, beet, sweet potato and kale. LOVE!
Saturday lunch date with hubby @CommonGrounds.
Chick and minimalist ambiance.
Welcoming and pleasant staff.
Dishes ordered - week’s special, prawn nasi goreng and scampi bah mi.
Drinks ordered - ginger breeze tea and still water
Recommendations - bibimbap and mekong burger
Pricey but worth the money.
Are we going back? Yeah, its one of our #hangoutplace :)
I liked the concept of the menu and the place in general.
Updated as 16.09.20, the coffee is great and yes I asked to make it hotter as per the advice of the comment below 😄😁
Worth to visit again for having lunch, I will update this review again soon

Tried this place for the first time over the weekend. We ordered the Korean bibimbap and the cuban reuben sandwich, both were really good. Thumbs up for the bang bang smoothie, too. The place also have a lot of choices for those looking for healthy food.
The best breakfast meal you can find here. The staffs are more friendly.
Food 5/5

Try their açaí and Gerk chicken also the the beats smoothie
Great little hipster spot with delicious healthy food. My absolute favourite is their breakfast menu: specially the Kashmiri florentine. Poached eggs on a bed of spiced beetroot and sweet potato hash, kale and hollandaise. Don’t enjoy the coffee as much though and wish they had soya milk instead of almond ...
The coffeeshop has the Aussie style, good vibes inside Mall of the Emirates, friendly barista. Another nice boutique cafe and belong to the specialty coffee in town, It's has nice atmosphere and huge place to seat.
I came here for a Friday breakfast, the place was packed but we didn’t have to wait too long for a table. The staff are friendly and very professional, the menu is rich with options and if you can’t find what you like they have a special weekend menu that changes every month. The service was quick, food was absolutely delicious and fresh. Drinks are also great. They offer great healthy food options too. It’s kid friendly and I highly recommend it.
Had a quick coffee and almond croissant and it was really good. Next time would want to try the lunch menu as well. Quick and prompt service!
The atmosphere is good and food is even better! Such a great experience of vegan and vegetarian dishes that’s definitely value for money and worth returning to! I’d recommend trying the Pan Fried Salmon- such a lovely combination of mango and salmon along with quinoa.
Awesome coffee, a good breakfast and friendly servers. A good place to stop for a coffee (especially during the day in Ramadan). The lunch food is trying a bit too hard, no need really
If you know tom n serg and sum of us then you cannot miss common grounds. Located in the new extension of mall of the emirates. They are offering vegan iftar so for all the vegan lovers. Check my pictures for the menu. The food was good. But i think they can enhance the taste more. The presentation is great. If you want the vagan burger be there before iftar to order or else it gets sold out.

Common Grounds gets a solid 5 from me for two reasons, they are mentioned in the pictures. 📸✌🏽I have been smashing this spot at least twice a month in the last eight months or so thanks to a friend’s recommendation. A bit on the steeper side (for 2 prawn tacos in my opinion) at 62 dhs but clean, fresh, light and extremely delicious. (Consistency is 🔑 and the sauce is on point) Find most of their coffee alright but syphon stands out to be my new favorite.
For the coffee lovers, they definitely serve some great coffee here and the barista has some proper latte art skills!! The service is really good! After enjoying a great coffee, I went for a smoothie with berries, açaí and some other stuff which was also very good. The sweet was great, it was very pure in taste and a healthy alternative to cake (dark chocolate and pure coconut inside).
I have been to Common Grounds a few times, as I like that their food is generally fresh and leans towards healthy eating.
This time I ordered poached eggs on sweet potato and beetroot hash brown. I was choosing to have the hollandaise sauce on the side as I am slightly fussy with the sauce. The dish was nice, but the sauce was a bit too thick and didn't have much flavor, so I was happy that it wasn't on top of otherwise a nice breakfast dish.
I ordered a cup of tea, which was served in a glass rather than a pot, which I am not fond of, especially when the price of the tea was over 20 dhs.
Overall the food and drinks are good, but I feel the prices of the hot drinks are too high, especially as they are generally small.
Very good food, lots of healthy options. Breakfast till 4pm! Some dishes with a vietnamese twist 😋 Big salads, very good sweet potato fries, fresh juices 100% natural, no added sugar. Interesting coffee options, very tasty. Yummy bowls. First time I tried it as the waiting time at Din Tai Fung was too long. Now I regularly head straight for Common Grounds, with a craving for one of their dishes 😛
This place SHINES for it's Acai Bowl. So yummy, so refreshing, so satisfying it's unreal. Another noteworthy discovery in the sides menu was that of Sweet Potato Fries. Full marks on taste and presentation.
Re mains, I'm yet to come across a dish I've thoroughly enjoyed. The Veg Rice Paper Rolls were good but somehow lacked the wow factor. The Wild Mushroom Risotto was average and low on seasoning.

Easily one of the best coffe place in Dubai......be it the selection of beans.....the process of making.......or the way it is served (reminding you of your chemistry lab😉), everything is a class apart from the others......really innvotaive menu with detailed description and helpful staff.
This is my usual hangout when I’m at the mall for some down time. Their flat white is one of the best in town. They also do great sweet potato fries with aioli, sandwiches and salads as well as breakfast items. Laidback ambience, friendly staff and quality food with fresh ingredients is what draws me here.
So I ordered Jerk Chicken and it was amazing. Nice presentation, friendly service and ambience was great. Did not order coffee but friends ordered and they said coffee was delicate. I ordered salted caramel milkshake and it was good too. Will definetely come back to try other food!
Very nice place nice clean ambiance. We ordered the jerk chicken which was outstanding and the common Cuban reubens sandwich, which was mediocre at best. I think they should consider changing the bread for it and put chips instead of salad. But I would definetly recommend this place and I will be back again to try other dishes
I went at opening time so it was really quiet like I like my mornings. Staff are so friendly and welcoming; they all seemed in a good mood and smiling (the best type of service) I ordered a green tea which was more expensive than the latte I ordered later. Latte for 17DHS and their tea for 23DHS.
For coffee addicts and non addicts: their latte is a blessing.
I've had the Acai bowl and Kashmiri Florentine over here. the beetroot in the latter was finely cooked served with organic eggs. Acai is something I was enlightened about by a Venezuelan who was apparently traveling along with me that day. Being an Indian, trying out something out of your culture, like Acai, a Brazilian dish, is an exciting experience and common grounds fulfilled it with satisfaction. I also had a tandoori salmon, an Indian finish!
Excellent place to try some gourmet coffee. I tried their long and black coffee which was strong and had a good fresh brew aroma to it. Will definitely come back to check out their other coffees.
A regular place to have coffee, dessert and a quick bite. Dessert is of better quality that the rest. Place is located in a secluded area in the mall, which is ideal if you want to entertain a conversation with someone.
