8 Bakeries in Dubai for Bread, Pastries and Signature Bakes

Updated 6 October 2026

A good bakery run depends on the craving: a cardamom bun to eat now, a loaf to carry home, or a box that can anchor a breakfast table. Dubai has bakeries that twist familiar croissants toward local flavours, build whole menus around long-fermented bread, or make ordering ahead part of the plan. These eight stand out for a clear baking identity or a useful way to buy.

At a glance

1. Bageri Form, Dubai Design District

Best for cardamom buns and inventive pastry

Bageri Form makes a familiar pastry case feel less predictable. Cardamom, cinnamon and saffron buns are AED25 each; a butter croissant is AED22, while the menu’s pistachio croissant pudding is AED38. For a savoury turn, there is a za’atar, labneh and honey roll at AED25. The bakery says its dough ferments for at least 24 hours and can be watched in an open-plan bakehouse. It is in Building 4, Dubai Design District; hours run later on Friday and weekends than Monday to Thursday.

2. Blazed Bakery, JLT

Best for Levantine flavours at a neighbourhood counter

Blazed puts Levantine flavours right in the pastry-and-bread mix. Its current menu lists a za’atar croissant at AED5, akawi and mohammara naan at AED10, and a pistachio croissant at AED12; plain, cheese and chocolate croissants are AED4, AED5 and AED6. These are listed menu prices, but the site gives no item weights. The bakery is in J2 Tower, Cluster J, open daily from 8am to 10pm, and also takes WhatsApp delivery orders. It is a particularly practical stop when the craving is savoury as much as sweet.

3. Damand Bakery & Café, Al Jaddaf

Best for a mixed croissant box and café stop

Damand’s AED75 box is a neat answer when one plain pastry will not satisfy the table: it contains a plain croissant, pain suisse, cinnamon roll and halloumi croissant. A plain croissant is AED18, while za’atar and triple-cheese versions are AED19 and AED25. The bakery describes its core craft as scratch-made croissants and pastries, with breakfast and coffee in the café. Find it at Al Wasl Sports Club Shops in Al Jaddaf; the kitchen stays open late, and the operator lists dine-in, takeaway and delivery.

4. Birch Bakery, Al Quoz 3

Best for a pastry box to share

Birch is a better fit for a gathering than a one-croissant pit stop. Its current preorder menu lists a 30-piece mix of morning buns and kouign-amann for AED500, plus a 30-piece savoury croissant box for AED700. The bakery also describes itself as 100% Emirati-owned and says its sourdough is hand-shaped and fermented for more than 20 hours, using traceable, stone-milled flour. The address is 28, 16B Street, Al Quoz 3; delivery is available across Dubai. Birch’s About page lists 7am–3pm, but the contact page flags a new location without repeating the hours, so check before a counter visit.

5. Casa Bakery, Al Khawaneej

Best for planning a bread-and-viennoiserie order

Casa suits the shopper who wants to choose loaf size and croissant assortment before the day begins. Its shop lists country sourdough in 400g and 800g sizes from AED14, butter croissants at AED19 and a six-piece classic croissant box from AED114. There is no minimum order; croissants need one day’s notice, while sourdough and mixed orders need two. Orders close at noon, pickup starts at 7am, and Dubai delivery is free from AED150 or AED30 below it. Casa lists Al Khawaneej and is open daily 6am–5pm. Its product page showed past ready-date text when checked, so use the live checkout calendar to confirm the next collection date and stock.

6. Stonecrumb, Dubai delivery

Best for a next-day, long-fermented loaf

Stonecrumb is for people who want bread delivered rather than a bakery counter to browse. The operator says each loaf gets a 48-hour cold fermentation; its country sourdough is AED38, multicereal loaf AED45 and classic sourdough baguette AED20. Orders placed before 4pm qualify for next-day Dubai delivery; later orders and Sunday orders need two days, and the bakery is closed Sundays. It does not publish product weights, so compare the bread by style and price rather than assumed loaf size. Its own home and product pages conflict on the free-delivery threshold, so check the fee at checkout.

7. Risen Café & Artisanal Bakery, Dubai

Best for an afternoon pastry deal

If you can be flexible about what is in the display, Risen currently advertises its Baker’s Treat: 50% off displayed bakery delights from 3pm daily. The offer names cakes, pastries, muffins, doughnuts, croissants and signature loaves, but says availability and terms apply; it does not guarantee a particular bake or list a separate reduced price. Risen’s bakery page highlights Coffee Gateau, chocolate and cherry tart, jasmine and exotic fruit, and chocolate San Sebastian cheesecake. There are several Dubai locations, so check the chosen branch before making the trip. A summer pastry-and-drink offer on the same page ended 15 September and is not included here.

8. HERE-O, Dubai

Best for handmade sourdough doughnuts

HERE-O treats doughnuts as a bakery specialty, not just a dessert add-on: it says the handmade dough is slowly fermented and baked fresh daily. The OG Vanilla is AED13, Don Tulio Espresso AED15 and the filled Chocolate Square AED17; the online shop says tax is included and shipping is calculated at checkout. HERE-O identifies a location at DXB Terminal 3 and takes online orders; delivery apps are advertised for orders within 45 minutes. Its listed store hours are daily, 8am–9pm. If you are not going through the airport, order online or use a delivery app instead of planning a terminal visit.

How we chose this list

This is an editorial selection, not a scored ranking. We looked for bakeries with a distinctive baking focus and current operator information that helps someone choose what to buy, where to go, or when to order. The list includes counter bakeries, café-bakeries and delivery-first operations; their prices and order terms are not directly interchangeable. Where a live page was stale or inconsistent, that is stated instead of guessed.
