Dubai has no shortage of places for a good croissant, but artisan bakeries in Dubai offer something beyond a quick pastry run. These bakeries serve French-style viennoiseries, naturally fermented breads, oversized croissants, and small-batch sourdough, with plenty of attention given to how their breads and pastries are made.
Some are relaxed cafés for breakfast and coffee. Others are better suited to picking up a loaf or ordering a box of pastries. A few operate as micro-bakeries, making advance ordering part of the experience.
Dubai’s bakery scene includes classic baguettes, flaky almond croissants, sourdough loaves, and more unusual creations. These are some of the city’s bakeries worth knowing.
1. Bake N More Café & Factory, Al Quoz
Bake N More offers an unusual combination of a neighbourhood café and a large-scale bakery operation. The factory behind the café is a 17,000-square-foot facility with 24/7 production capabilities, supplying bakery, pastry, pizza, and chocolate products to hotels, restaurants, cafés, cloud kitchens and retailers.
The café gives visitors a chance to enjoy products made by the same bakery operation. Its current menu includes viennoiseries, artisan breads, breakfast dishes, sandwiches, desserts and coffee. Current listings also highlight its French-style pastries and almond croissant.
The factory side is particularly interesting for anyone curious about how a bakery can operate at both retail and commercial scale. Bake N More says the facility was established in 2021 and is HACCP and ISO 22000:2018 certified.
- Location: 27th Street, Al Quoz Industrial Area 3, Dubai.
- Timings: Daily, 8 am–8 pm for the café.
- Entry: Free to enter; food and drinks are ordered separately. Current listings put the average spend at around AED 150 for two.
2. Artisan Bakers, Umm Suqeim
Artisan Bakers is a European bakery and café on Umm Suqeim Street, with a menu covering breads, baguettes, sourdough, croissants, pastries and cakes. Its current delivery menu also lists focaccia, brioche, madeleines, macarons, and other baked goods.
The bakery is also suitable for a more substantial meal. Its menu extends into breakfast, sandwiches and other café dishes, making it a practical option for a longer visit alongside a bakery stop.
The Umm Suqeim branch is especially convenient for late-night bakery runs, with current business listings showing it as a 24-hour location.

3. Bakerist, Dubai Hills Mall and Bluewaters
Bakerist has built its identity around European-style bakery and café food, with fresh pastries, breads, coffee and an all-day dining menu. Its Dubai Hills Mall location is on the ground floor and is specifically described by the mall as a French bakery café known for its artisan pastries.
The biggest draw is the Giant Croissant, one of Bakerist’s most recognisable creations. The Dubai Hills Mall listing confirms the Giant Croissant and Giant Coffee as signature offerings, while the brand also has other oversized pastry creations.
The bakery counter also offers regular pastries and breads. Bakerist currently operates at Dubai Hills Mall and Bluewaters, among its Dubai locations.
One useful detail for takeaway pastry fans is the brand’s current discount. Bakerist’s recent August 2026 social listings show 50% off fresh breads, bakery items, drinks, and desserts after 4 pm for takeaway orders. As this is a promotional offer, it is worth checking with the branch before visiting.
- Location: Dubai Hills Mall, Ground Floor, and Bluewaters Island, Residence 6.
- Timings: Dubai Hills Mall is currently listed as 8 am–11 pm, while the Bluewaters branch is listed as 8 am–midnight.

Its current website lists locations in Dubai Marina, Barsha Heights, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, Jumeirah Village Circle, Waterfront, and Dubai Harbour.
Its bakery range includes classic croissants, pain au chocolat, almond croissants, Danish pastries, and artisan loaves. Its published menus also list sourdough, German dark rye, artisanal baguettes, olive bread, and other breads.
Risen’s menu is broader than a traditional bakery counter, making it suitable for groups with different preferences. The current menu includes stuffed croissants, shakshuka, eggs Benedict-style dishes, and sandwiches served on house-baked breads.
The brand also sells whole cakes, including Pistachio Gâteau, Chocolate Fudge Cake, Lotus Cheesecake, and Fresh Berry Cheesecake, with advance ordering required for whole cakes at its locations.

5. Levain Artisan Dubai, Dubai Marina

The bakery focuses on sourdough and small-batch baked goods. Its offerings include seeded bread and other sourdough varieties, along with sweet baked treats and cookies.
This micro-bakery is better suited to customers arranging a specific order. Current business information lists it at Al Seef Tower in Dubai Marina and shows weekday operating hours.
