Living Room Café

Abu Dhabi


This family-friendly cafe is beloved by foreign residents who come here for home-baked cakes, all-day breakfasts, soups, salads, toasted sandwiches and baked potatoes. There's a real neighbourhood feel with a kid's corner to keep younger ones busy and at least one table always being used as workspace, with a customer tapping away on their laptop. It's inside Khalidiya Village.
