Shakespeare and Co. is a great place to spend an evening with your love ones. They have great coffees and light food with a distinct British tea room interior and the aroma of a French bakery, cosy, homely and welcoming environment, the atmosphere is amazing like the feel of the Victorian era. Which is exactly what it is.A great deal of thought has gone into the décor. Shakespeare and Co are an Emirati chain that is found all over the UAE.They have a huge breakfast menu offering American, English, Lebanese.Coffees and juices are of high quality here but we felt it is bit overpriced. We loved their coffee!
Today morning we went to your Dubai Silicon Oasis outlet for breakfast after some months.My experience was shocking, understanding that this brand has started to let down very old and loyal customers. I have been a frequent visitor for quiet some years but just one bad experience has lost me as a customer to you.It was shocking indeed.The experience goes as under:- No starter bread, butter & Jam was offered. I thought may be the restaurant has changed their policy as everyone else has gone into cost cutting. I asked the staff for it and they said Oh we forgot and it came by the time when we were about to ask for the bill. THIS IS CERTAINLY HILARIOUS.- The Rotten Bread with Fungus: The bread that was served to us was expired and full of fungus. Pics attached!- Flies All Over The Place: There were flies all the time from the point we entered, had our food & paid the bill. We even told the staff to do something to the flies as they looked like pets to the staff. However, the staff brought two candles just 5 minutes before we left and we told them You guys could have kept them around while we were having food and they simply said We are really sorry for this . ARE YOU GUYS FOR REAL OR WHAT?Other Customers: I overheard some other customers complaining for flies and not getting the bread, butter & Jam.I think Shakespeare is losing its identity and in no time loyal customers like me will stop going to any of your outlets as I can get better service, better food with no flies, no fungus bread anywhere else.Thank you & Goodbye SHAKESPEARE FOR GOOD!Time to move on!!
Lovely food with the perfect indoor ambience ! Love this place for breakfast and dessert ! It s one of my go to places for breakfast and dessert !! They have large varieties of desserts which are absolutely delicious 🤤 they also have loyalty app where you have a lot of amazing offers! Do check it out !
Beautiful cafe. They dont have zomato or entertain app so, when you go there ready to pay full amount. Im giving 4 star bcause of that. Food is good and little expensive side. But delicious for lunch time. Waitresss are very very very good. Interior design diffrent. Nice place to go at least for 2 people 250-300 definitely will spend there.
There has to be a Shakespeare in every corner of the world. Their menu is abundant, they food quality and presentation are exemplary and their staff - so friendly and knowledgeable.Shakespeare is an experience on its own.
Used to be my favourite place for breakfast but not anymore. We recently went to have breakfast and were not happy with the experience as:1)the food took more than 45 minutes to be served.2) During this long waiting time no bread or jam was served. Both bread and coffee (should comes with/before breakfast) were served after we almost finished our breakfast.I noticed that there were only 2 servers at the time managing both dine in and dine out orders but it is still not an excuse for the bad service we had.Also during our visit I noticed that a couple lashed out and left the place after waiting more than 40 minutes with no food served what so ever.Though the food was good but the slow and bad service and timing really made the experience bad.
What a place to dine. Wonderful ambience. Being a student of literature, I always have been facinated by Victorian architecture and designs. And this place is decorated in a Victorian theme.Talking of food, I am a staunch adherent of Indian and Pakistani food, and spices allure me. So this visit was somewhat of a risk, as I didnt know what to expect.I tried to play safe by ordering two generic dishes, Classic grilled chicken with Mushroom sauce (a delight and my next favorite from this place) and the BBQ pizza (average in taste, to be honest).We ended our dinner with some Cheese cake and a Frasier. The cheesecake was very much below par if you took the one served at The Cheesecake Factory as a standard. The Frasier was somewhat worth the bucks spent.The staff were very courteous and dressed to the theme.The prices are on the expensive side, so it always makes sense to have some vouchers or coupons to redeem at the place.
The Filipino manager Kevin is efficient and attention to details in his service..Ive been visiting tis outlet for a few years and all their servers are Amazing too..Food as always super yummy and the place is super cosy❤️
The overall dining experience was Mind blowing. We sat outdoor and ordered the fish and chips, Turkey and ham manakish, with chocolate ice cream, strawberry lemonade. The quantity seem to be small but it was very filling as the fish and chips had come with fries, salad and sauces. The turkey and ham manakish was amazing. The strawberry lemonade was refreshing. Overall the food experience was lit. The restaurant ambience was superb it looked like a doll house. I must it worth trying this as a cafe or restaurant. they also gave a complimentary bread basket and the butter which came with it was amazing. I never tried any butter like that. highly recommended 🙋♂️
Decoration is amazing , very relaxed and quite place.Service and stuff are nice. I wish the opening hours are for longer time at night.
One of the best restaurant in silicon oasis for food.. the ambiance and the interiors are so classy, i love their breakfast menu which includes so many options for eggs and sausages, i also like their french toasts, sandwiches, pastas, desserts and coffee. Great place!
Love their english breakfast. The overall experience is great. Coffee can be improved a bit
Nice and Quit Place . Good Customer service 👍
If you are looking for American breakfast or you are diet conscious, I think shakespeare n co will not be bad choice, they have variety in breakfast, I liked the most was America breakfast. Staff was pleasant, only bad thing was having flies, which was quite disappointing. Coffee latte which they serve I would suggest it should be little hot, as they normally serve is like you drink it, instead of sipping it. Overall food quality and experience was good
Lovely food with great staff.Only problem I had today at breakfast is that I went to use my HSBC voucher and I was told I couldn’t use it for the larger selected breakfast ( I.e the breakfast with the tea/coffee/juice included)Apparently this has been a rule for over 2 years..... it definitely HAS NOT been a rule, I’ve been using the voucher well before COVID-19 and apparently it’s states quite clearly on the menu you can’t use the voucher for these selected menus.IT DOESNT!!I spoke to the manager called Ken who was also our waiter and he was the one who told us the rule.I would love for someone to explain to me why this rule is in place when it doesn’t state it anywhere.I’ve been coming to Shakespeare for a few years now and I have ALWAYS used the voucher.I suspect it something to do with the price.Normal breakfast is around 45-50 dhs.... and special breakfast is 69dhs.Think this is very unfair.I honestly would have spent more money there today if they hadn’t got this silly rule in place.
As always Sks food and service is brilliant. Thanks so much.
Very tasty cake they have , nice cool place to sit
Always have flies to deal with on each indoor dining visit. Food is always great though. I’ll improve my rating if no more flies on my next visit.
It’s a nice place with delicious food love their the classic and sandwiches are delicious too😋😋
Very nice decor ...and cakes collection also unique
I amnot happy with their service anymore, really disapointed, I certainly I wont visit this branch (DSO) anymore or any shakespeare anymore.
Such a Good Place for a Good Company to Sit and enjoy Food n Beverages. Mine is Spanish Latte in The Choice of Coffee.
Amazing food. Must try
Good food. Always enjoyed Shakespeare
Food quality has gone drastically down.Ordered 3 different items. All were a disappointment.
Had the corn flakes french toast. Was good but thought it wasnt soaked enough in the egg batter to be authentic french toast. Hubby had the seafood spaghetti. The cuttlefish was nice and soft. The shrimp was perfect al la dante
I ordered avocado and egg toast which was so amazing, I also like their music and the atmosphere over there at Shakespeare
I have been to this place many time, love the ambience and food.Highly recommended for food and cakes.
The morning breeze and the outside sitting arrangement makes it perfect for a breakfast with done of free sunlight.Wifi connection is very poor. I wish i maintained their IT. I would have got wifi resolved in under a day :)
Ordered a brownie and this is how they sent it.No proper packing of any sort( not even packed in a small box). No branding of shakespeare and looks like someone was playing a prank. No concern for hygiene during covid!To top it all, it was stone cold. If I wanted to have such a brownie, I better could have taken it from a nearby fuel station or some weird cafe having pest infestation.If shakespeare management is reading, I am really concerned on the way you handle a small order.Its a joke. Never going to order from them ever.
Nice place with very delicious food
Went for the dessert, loved the service, quality and taste.
Food was good they have one problem which is too much flies
Shakespeare has always been my favorite place and just to bad only the silicon oasis one is where they have flies disturbing the ambiance
Good customer service by Ali
Good food. Can find pretty much anything to eat there, for everyones taste I think.
The food and ambience was great as usual. The service and hygiene were compromised a little. There were too many flies inside of the restaurant, my order missed some specifications, no follow-up after the order and I had to call out to the waitress a little loudly to get her attention after waiting patiently for 15 minutes. Definitely liked the Al Majaz Shakespeare a lot better than this one.
Always a great service in every branch. Amazing food.
The food is nice, affordable prices and good quality. The selection of desserts is the highlight of the menu. Unfortunately, whenever Ive visited the restaurant, Ive experienced the presence of flies.
It’s classy place with good taste of Cortado ❤️
Its good
Beautiful Ambiance. Awesome food. 👌
Great food and staff is very friendly and reliable especially Ali.
I bought some chocolates when they were on sale. I love them! I love the packaging and they taste like expensive chocolates. I also love the free warm bread they serve here as a complimentary starter.
Great place in Silicon. Hidden Gem
Amazing place for lunch, tea and dinner. Not very extensive menu but have some good options to chose from
Poor service!!! After giving the Menu nobody comes for the order for 15mins...Finally had to leave...
Fabulous food.
Ravi the best staff in this brand he is lovely and good experienced ya rally nothing like him
Great meal, amazing service. Many vegan options and great vegetarian ones. Loved their breakfast menu and wish Id gone back to try something else!
Good variety and good quality food.
Good food and vibes. Especially the salads and the pastas.
Never had anything other than the breakfast here, which is absolutely fantastic.The service is pretty good and the decor is as youd expect from a Shakespeare outlet.The tea and coffee is always prepared well and I find the find the food more hearty and the decor more homely than Kaffa beans next door.
We need to be up to 2.am morning
Wonderful crepes, amazing steaks.

I loved the food! Everything is tasty, amazing food and beauty plate presentation. I can’t wait to come back and try a different breakfast or lunch.Gracias ! (Thank you) !
Arranged a birthday party for one of our beloved friend and I must say now it was a blast in the past. The staff amazingly made it worth the money you spend. We loved it and it was an astonishing surprise. Thanks to the team!
Nice, cozy and quaint cafe with a beautiful outdoor sitting.Service was OK and the food / drinks slightly overpriced. The quality of food was good though. Emirates employee s holding platinum cards get 20% off.
Top notch. Good prices. Best avocado meals except at times the avocadoes are unripe and the guacamole then tastes bitter. Better to ask for soft sliced avocado on the side.
Very beautiful and very classic and the food is perfect
The service at the restaurant is good along with the full menu at any Shakespeare outlet. Staff is friendly and food is great quality as always. However it wish they were able to do something about the flies in the restaurant as they are pretty annoying.
Amazing place for breakfast and coffee.
Another excellent experience at Shakespeare and Co. The service, the food, and the atmosphere are all top notch. I had the avocado and poached eggs dish with smoked salmon as an add-on.
