All you can eat 60 AED breakfast special sounds great, but on the day my wife and I met up with three of our other friends, it became a not so great first experience at Circle Café on Saadiyat Island. We all were excited to try this place because one of our friends had touted it it so much as a favorite place to go. We had a table just as you walked inside the front door and had a great view of everything that was going on this day. The café sits across from the Waitrose Grocery Store, and diagonally from a Starbucks. There is limited parking if you go at a busy hour of the day. The inside of the Circle Café is non-descript. Perhaps a shabby chic influence with high ceilings, light-colored walls and eclectic furniture that just didnt have a welcoming feel to it.We hoped that the Special would afford us the opportunity to sample the Circle Cafes many breakfast items and tempt us to return. Our initial 3 coffee orders were taken quickly, but when the remaining two in our group arrived it took several minutes to get someone to stop by and get their order. If you order any espresso based drinks order two or three shots if you want to taste the coffee. The mugs are too big and taste mostly of warm frothy milk. It was at this point things just spiraled down hill.It was a warm day and the restaurants air conditioning was just unable to handle the constant door opening. The fans the staff had situated around the place just moved the warm, humid air. The restaurant was understaffed both in servers and what looked like kitchen employees to handle the steady flow of customer orders. Servers were trying to handle both indoor diners and the ones sitting outside. On a couple of attempts to get someone to stop at our table one of us had to jump up and wave our hands. We stopped trying to secure a server for coffee drinks and ended up going to the coffee bar and ordering there. When we did get a chance to place orders we double up our choices because of the wait to get food from the kitchen. Between the five of us we sampled several breakfast choices and unfortunately most were underwhelming, either bland, gelatinous, or luke-warm. However, there was a Mexican egg dish that was quite good as was the Acai Bowl.I really do think that the main issue on this day was staff, or lack thereof. There are too many items that sound delicious on their menu so I believe any attempt is in the making. After that visit we will see if Circle Café rises to the occasion and its reputation.

Ive been taking my lunch here lately, and I must say, that I am truly impressed by the friendliness of the staff, and nevertheless the taste of the food. On thing that you really must try is their Chocolate Cake!!!

A stunningly quiet spot in the week perfect for a lovely late breakfast!Lovely staff- super friendly and a tasty breakfast! Plus- seating at a pink table with cushions! SUPER CUTE!

Circle Cafe is the go to cafe for delicious, inspired food Focused on healthy eating, they have it all - bagel filled breakfasts, tantalising lunches & diverse dinners. Look out for their vegan menu. Visit us at Circle Cafe in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and yeah dont miss out trying their cakes which are homemade style!

Trying thier breakfast 😋 unlimited refill food from 8am to12noon weekdays,8am to 4pm in weekends

You can never go wrong with Circle Cafe especially with their wide range of options to choose from for Breakfast. They even have the “all you can eat” breakfast for AED 60 dhs only with decent quantity dishes. My favorites include the Avocado Toast, their Nutella French Toast as well their sandwiches.- Their Saadiyaat branch is nice and cosy.- Staff are super friendly.- Breakfast offers are crazy-good!- Would recommend booking in advance.

Great option for a leisurely weekend breakfast, much healthier and price conscious version of a brunch! 55 dhs for all you can eat breakfast on Friday and Saturday. The cafe is nice and relaxed, and the staff kind and attentive!

My partner and I visited this restaurant and were amazed at not only the quality of food, but also the service. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. We had the all you can eat breakfast. This is easily one of, if not the best breakfast we’ve ever eaten with the wide range of healthy food. I cannot recommend this place enough! Such a warm and welcoming environment!

One of bestest reasonably priced breakfast in town!! The breakfast bowl had the right ingredients but would be better with little hummous in the side, tho the felafel was disappointing. The sausage egg burger,pink beetroot,hummous avo toast was brilliant. The side of spiced potato was so perfect! All in one must visit!

Great service and ambiance. Kudos to their staff. I consider their food as more tasty than the their other branches.

I had a good experience with the brunch there this afternoon. The service has improved substantially and the waiters were very attentive with us. I would recommend the Mexican eggs and the yoghurt bowl.

Its always hard to book weekend breakfast there, but in the end place is empty, apparently they are not good with reservations. Breakfast is very average, it was ok, but I do not wish to come back.

Specifically asked for NO ALMONDS repeatedly and stated my reason is due to severe allergies, only to find the salad is literally soaked in almonds!!! the audacity of who ever put my order together. Receipt attached even CLEARLY STATES NO ALMONDS 🤦🏻‍♂️

We come here pretty often and the food is always awesome. The all you can eat option is always comforting especially during the weekend. The staff are very courteous and always happy to serve us. 5 stars don’t do this place justice; 1000 would make more sense.

Cool small restaurant with friendly staff.

This is a not an excellent restaurant (I am not so much fan of fusion good), but the food is Ok, the price is reasonable, the service is good and it is conveniently located if you live in saadiyat.

It was indeed a sweet experience😁, had my doubts at first but i was glad we decided to dine there.Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in saadiyat. The service is unmatched, The staffs are welcoming with great customer service skills,The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in each others mouth.Absolutely the best meal we had while in restaurant. Highly recommended!!👌👌👌

Good and very comfortable breakfast place..Food is good and worth the price and have an amazing plating and presentation.Staff is very friendly and they make sure the customers will definitely feel satisfaction.One of recommended coffee shop ..🙂🙂

Very good at atmosphere and service. Clean and the food was hot, fresh, and delicious. The brunch is really inexpensive.

The breakfast menu is so well put and diverse. It makes it very easy to explore new recipes at a very great value. I totally recommend this place for a nice, chill breakfast or brunch with family or friends.

Foods were healthy, delicious and the ambience is great. It would have been nice if juice option is included in the rate too but overall we loved our experience!

Best Breakfast Brunch in Abu Dhabi...

If your looking for breakfast meal , visit here coz they have more variety of breakfast meal that I’m sure you will love it!👌♥️

It was a recommendation from a friend to have a different ambiance and luckily i am astonished that all staff of Circle are well trained especially Dexter who shows above and beyond of an excellent customer service!!! I will definitely recommend this to all my expat friends and colleagues at work! Keep it up!!!

Nice restaurant to visitTasty and delicious food from the breakfast options. But today I had their coffee and cake.Staff are super friendly. In general Ill recommend this restaurant

This restaurant is like a hidden diamond, I thought its like a regular coffee shop with a menu filled with sugary drinks and desserts. I decided to give it a try. I was amazed to see the menu. Finally a restaurant that serve Organic food and gluten free food👍

Brilliant overall experience. Great food, friendly service. The waiting staff, in particular Dexter and Emmanuel, are fantastic at what they do. Highly recommended. Thank you!

GREAT FOOD AND MOST ESPECIALLY THE SERVICE. NEVER BEEN TO A BAR WITH AN OUTSTANDING ARRAY OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. I PERSONALLY RECOMMEND DEXTER IF YOU WILL GO TO CIRCLE SAADIYAT HE GOES OUT OF HIS WAY AND DOING EXTRA MILE OF HIS SERVICE WHICH I GUESS NOT A PART OF HIS JOB. BUT HE STOOD AS AN EPITOME OF A GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO ALL HIS CLIENT. HE IS DEFINITELY AN ASSET TO THE ORGANIZATION WHERE HE IS INTO. I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE AND BRING ALONG MY FRIENDS WITH ME.

Excellent breakfast. We visit circle at the saadiyat and moved to the saadiyat beach after very satisfying and nourishing breakfast.

The place is lovely; a bit small but their food is DELICIOUS

I went to this restaurant and wow their breakfast is superb.. different choices for the menu.. surely Ill be back.restaurant is highly recommend

Place and food was good and worth for money.

Good restaurant inside the lovely island Saadiyat.They offer good tasty breakfast options.

Great food and excellent service.

Very delicious food. I had the chicken swarms and my wife had a falafel salad. Our drinks were also great (iced coffee and virgin mojito). The service is good and the atmosphere is relaxing

As usual at these type of cafes the sandwiches are just mediocre; but priced at top dollar. Why cant they do something exceptional for the price? What? Processed turkey and cheese for goodness sake? No imagination at all guys or is it even worse ..just a useless chef? My advice: the sandwiches at Waitrose opposite are infinitely better and half the price.

For an intimate and eat all you can (for 4 hours max!) experience, this place is recommended.

I have gone several times for their brunch menu. Totally worth it!

Lovely all you can eat breakfast. Service was top notch, no complaints. Will be back def soon.

Super nice service nice food presentation its totally recommended...

Fantastic food, all staff friendly and highly recomended.

I visit many times with my friends and family circle cafe is best place in sadiyat to taste the delicious food and staff also very cooperative...

The food is very delicious and staff is very cooperative. Love to eat circle cafe Sadiyat with friends and family

Food and service at Circle are amazing!! Their wonderful and welcoming staff are the reason we keep coming back! 😊

Perfect place for have delicious salad or healthy juice.. Small but sweet..

The vegan items were wonderful and endless breakfast is great value for money! Would recommend!

Having going to both branches, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, I can confirm, without an hesitation, the Abu Dhabi branch is much better. The service is wonderful and I would definitely recommend it!!

Great staff great food. I highly recommend this to you and your family

All foods are good and so yummy.the one my favourite is the coffee to make defferent designs..so amazing😍😍😍

The food is so delicious and OMG staff are really helpful and friendly.

Very underwhelming food and unfriendly staff makes this a very lousy experience. We were tempted by the 60 pp breakfast deal. But the staff gives you a look when you order more than once. An overall forgettable experience which I ll not want to repeat.

Went for the all you can eat breakfast dinner. Really great options. Good quality food. You dont feel like you are being rushed by staff and they are managing social distancing really well.

Highly recommended fine dine in restaurant, food is so amazing and have a good staff.😍

Highly recommended for the family and business meeting. Nice service nice food..

Circle cafe saadiyat is recomended for the lovers and friends. Fantastic service and fantastic staff. Keep it up guys.

They have really delicious 😋 food i love to visit again ❤️

Excellent food quality but they dont have much staff for faster service as it is always busy there.In general, highly recommend.

For me is the partners who works there the connections and energy they give customers makes us to want to come back all the time big up team saadiyat circle cafe.They are more of family than workers

Very good and healthy food ! And the place in Nice !

The food is so fresh & delicious. The breakfasts are the best but service can be slow when it is busy.

Friday all day breakfast.Great value good good.Very friendly and helpful staff.Food is prepared to order in manageable portions.We will be back!

Nice to eat here in circle cafe saadiyat with my friends... awesome service...

Food was OK. Price was great: 55 Dirhams for thier breakfast brunch. Service, as always on a Friday morning, SLOW. 55 minutes wait for x2 sausage and egg rolls, and x1 breakfast bowl consisiting of all cold ingredients... If its cold, why are we waiting 55 minutes for it?! Nice food, SLOW service, wont be going back again on a Friday morning

I always go to circle Saadyat. The food is very good and the service is outstanding.

Good food and nice staff specially francis.

Good place at sadiyat with smazin all you csn eat breakfast for only 60 aed. You need to try halloumi bagel and french toast with banana, in general all plates affer are good.

Excellent food and the staff were fantastic. Will come back!

I dont recommend all cooking smell stuck in your clothes.

Have an amazing food love to have my food everytime in this restaurant 😍😍😍

Your time is worth more than this. The food is actually really good, but its not wait-for-two-hours good. The service was hilariously inefficient. We were told wed have to wait 20 minutes for a table, which is totally fine and would not be a problem if we didnt actually wait for about 50. Food took two hours to arrive in its entirety. In fairness, there were nine of us, but we had to re-confirm our order three times to get everything. Should you choose to go, I recommend the avocado toast, the Shakshouka, and perhaps a series of lessons on Zen and patience.

Lazy staffBut they have food good

Great Food,service and friendly staff

Friendly staff. Very accommodating. Delicious food .

All you can eat breakfast deal for 60dhs is brilliant!!! Lovely food with decent portions and good quality.

They have an amazing weekend deal: all you can eat for AED55. Kids under 3 eat for free, above 3 eat fir AED 25. Staff was very nice and service was quick considering the place was full.

Great food for all you can eat breakfast

Following an offer for all you can eat breakfast on the best bites Abu Dhabi forum.I decided to take the family to the Circle Cafe, we arrived just before 2 o clock, and the place was very busy. We ordered some meals from the breakfast menu, including coffee, which arrived promptly, the food, however, arrived 50 minutes after placing the order. When we asked the wait staff how the offer worked and whether we could order off the menu more than once, they replied yes that we could, which was followed by an underhanded remark, that we wouldn’t need to. The food, once it arrived, was good, but the service is poor. The place was frantic, wait staff lacked the training to cope with the busy environment. In spite of being incredibly busy, the establishment was also taking orders for delivery. We noticed that people that arrived later and ordered after, seemed to be served much quicker than us, as well as other people also waiting an for a long time to be served. This has without a doubt been our worst dining experience in Abu Dhabi. We cancelled the remaining order, and left.

Good restaurants great service..highly recommend ♥️♥️♥️

Very bad and late service reached up to one hourUnfriendly staff specially if your going for the promotion of the breakfast which they delayed the second dishes and not serving it completely as orders excusing they are busy and they forget the orderFor the fist time on my life i would rate a restaurant less than zero and wont come again

All you can eat breakfast on Saturday for AEE 55 was great! Good service, great food. Of course there was a small wait time, but worth it for food of this quickly quality.

Clean, excellent food and service.

Omg saadiyat circle cafe is amazing than al raha and mangrove...

The food is absolutely amazing! Come , Visit and try.

Amazing service and the food is very fast

An amazing restaurant with an amazing experience! Totally recommend

Awesome Place Awesome Service Awesome food.A must to visit place for food lovers🎊🎊🎊❤️❤️❤️❤️

The location of the restaurant is in beautiful Saadiyat island. It has a very extensive menu with lot of healthy options. Service is quite good. Its a little cosy place, you can enjoy breaktast, lunch and dinnner there. Its reasonably priced for Abu Dhabi. Absolutely a place you shouldnt miss.

Nice food, good choices clean

Good service and staffs are friendly..Keep it up guys...

Food is just okay, nothing special. Ive eaten here at least 10 times and when it opened, the food was really good but quality dropped now. Staff can be faster.

Love the environment and food but not a place to be visited on a busy day, the facility cannot accommodate more guests, outdoor seating needs an outdoor A/C system specially in this hot weather and the waiters need to be more trained for a busy day, so that they can attend the guests at the earliest(so that people wont leave without trying there great food)... But all in all I love to visit the place if its not busy.

Lovely place!!! healthy food!!! everyone should Try!!!

Awesome place to be. Service from Mr. Ram was very professional.

Loved it 👌👌 The all u can eat offer is more than worth it😍

Nice place. AYCE menu is amazing!

Great food and the service by Emmanuel is top notch, really attentive, polite and easy to deal with. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Good cust service and delicious food.
