My fav cafe in Dubai. Coffee is always spot on! Don't leave without trying the soft serve with olive oil and salt.

Certainly! I must admit, I'm not a big fan of cappuccinos or coffee in general, but I absolutely loved the CALLA drink. The staff at the café were so welcoming and attentive; it truly felt like being treated like royalty. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Their coffee, pastry, desserts- everything is dope! Buttttt you must try their olive oil ice cream- it’s a treat. I just wish they had room to sit, not just a bench with a small table. Also, Anne is an amazing host <3

One of the best experiences I’ve had at calla Café! Their staff member Marvi is honestly one of the kindest, friendliest, and most helpful people I’ve ever dealt with. Always smiling, super attentive, and incredibly fast with the service. I was genuinely impressed and left the place very satisfied. He truly deserves the title Employee of the Month at calla! And of course, my coffee always arrives exactly how I like it – extra hot, just perfect! Thank you

Today I had the pleasure of going with 3 friends to Calla Cafe. I was immediately taken by how small is the cafe, it is tiny. You can only sit in one line by the wall. Not a very convenient to sit for a party of 4. It was hard to talk and have a nice time. The cafe is designed for pickups and “to go” not to sit and enjoy. Nevertheless we had a great time. The place is super simple but it has been designed with taste. As soon as we walked in the staff swiftly welcomed us. There is no menu, the different types of coffee are listed on the wall but for the doughnuts and cakes you need to check the menu on Instagram. I ordered a latte, which was creamy, smooth, and contained just the right amount of espresso. Next to my coffee I ordered a Bambolone and Maritozzo, both absolutely blew me away. It was my first time to try either of them. The Bambolone is a type an Italian doughnut that is soft, fluffy, and filled with a light, creamy vanilla cream (10/10). The texture was ideal, and it wasn't overly sweet. The Maritozzo (10/10) is a sort of sweet bread stuffed with whipped cream and in the middle a sort of strawberries jam. It tasted wonderful but still not too sweet. Two hours later I ordered an Affogato which was different that the ones I had in other places. This one was created with cold brew coffee and soft ice cream. It was a divine combination  (10/10). I had a great time at Calla Cafe all around. The service was flawless, the coffee was fantastic, and the doughnuts were out of this world. The seating is bad it is not a sit in place it is a to go venue. Calla Cafe should be at the top of your list if you're searching for good coffee and unique Italian doughnuts to go.

Cakes and pastries here taste like a piece of heaven but there is a tiny issue with the sitting place, it’s very limited space and very hot
