5 Best Cake Shops in Dubai (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

A birthday cake that arrives late, or looks nothing like the photo you sent, ruins the moment fast, and Dubai's cake shops span everything from a mall cafe with a cult following to a dedicated Al Jadaf cake specialist that ships across the city. Between them, these shops have logged 7,228 Google reviews, and the top pick alone has nearly 1,600 of those at 4.8 stars. That kind of volume tends to mean a shop has survived a lot of birthdays, weddings, and last-minute orders without falling apart.

Short answer: Angel Cakes in Dubai Mall leads the list, holding 4.8 stars across 1,605 reviews, known for its pistachio raspberry cake and gluten-free dessert range. Mister Berry matches that 4.8 rating with a delivery-first model that photographs your cake before it ships. Milk Bakery on Al Wasl Road draws praise for custom birthday cake orders alongside its all-day breakfast menu.

Angel Cakes

4.81,605 Google reviews

Angel Cakes operates inside Dubai Mall as a cafe and dessert spot known for gluten-free, vegan, and health-conscious options alongside its cakes, staying open until 1am on weekends. The pistachio raspberry crepe cake comes up again and again in reviews as the standout order, alongside an iced matcha latte and a lavender matcha cloud drink. Reviewers describe the space as a reliable study or work spot given its late hours, with staff singled out by name for warm service.

What people praise

Pistachio raspberry cake specifically praised by multiple reviewers as a standout
Wide gluten-free and vegan dessert range, unusual for a mall cafe
Open until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, useful for late orders or a late study spot
Staff named directly and praised for warmth and attentiveness

Worth knowing

A few reviews mention inconsistency on drink recommendations, worth asking staff directly what they'd suggest rather than just picking the house special

Scorpios

4.51,958 Google reviews

Scorpios is listed as a bakery near Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai, though the reviews on file describe a broader food-and-shopping stop, including a striploin steak, ice cream, snacks, and a browsing area with toys, rather than cake-specific orders. The listing carries the highest review volume on this page, but the reviews available are several years old and don't speak directly to cakes or desserts.

What people praise

Convenient Downtown Dubai location near Burj Khalifa
High overall review volume

Worth knowing

Available reviews describe general food and retail rather than cakes specifically, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm cake availability before you make a special trip

Milk Bakery

4.51,804 Google reviews

Milk Bakery sits on Al Wasl Road in Jumeirah 1 and describes itself as a neighborhood bakery and dessert shop built around bringing people together over coffee and freshly baked goods. Reviewers praise the Milk Cake, tiramisu, and fruit tart specifically, and one reviewer describes walking in for a friend's birthday cake and having the order customized on the spot. The bakery also gets strong marks for its breakfast menu, including kimchi toast and a raspberry tartlet.

What people praise

Milk Cake, tiramisu, and fruit tart called out repeatedly as standout desserts
Custom cake box ordering handled on walk-in visits, not just advance bookings
Strong all-day breakfast and pastry menu alongside the cakes
Airy, spacious interior mentioned as good for lingering, not just a quick pickup

Worth knowing

Multiple reviewers mention slow service at times, even when the space wasn't busy, worth building in extra time if you're in a hurry

Flaky Pastry Croissant Co. City Walk

4.61,321 Google reviews

Flaky Pastry Croissant Co. sits at the City Walk II junction and, as the name suggests, built its reputation on croissants and pastries rather than birthday cakes specifically. Reviewers describe the Flaky Classic and Croque Madame Truffée as standouts, alongside sweet and savory croissant varieties. It's a newer addition to Dubai's dessert scene relative to the others here, with reviews trending recent. Note this shop is croissant and pastry focused rather than a dedicated cake counter, based on what reviewers describe ordering.

What people praise

Croissants specifically praised as some of the best in Dubai by multiple reviewers
Staff named directly for friendly recommendations on what to order
Delivery service mentioned as smooth, with items arriving well packaged
Most recent reviews on this page, meaning an active, currently busy shop

Worth knowing

Reviews focus on croissants and pastries rather than birthday-style cakes, so it may not be the right stop if a full cake is specifically what you need

Mister Berry - Best Cake Shop in Dubai

4.8540 Google reviews

Mister Berry operates from Al Jadaf and is built specifically around cake delivery, with reviewers describing a process where staff photograph the finished cake and share it before dispatch, then show the buyer the cake's condition again at handoff. The shop also handles flower arrangements and gifting alongside cakes, with one staff member, Seema, named repeatedly for guiding customers through cake and flower choices. Reviewers consistently mention on-time or ahead-of-schedule delivery for birthday orders.

What people praise

Matches Angel Cakes for the highest rating on this page at 4.8
Photo confirmation of the finished cake before delivery, a detail reviewers specifically call out
On-time or early delivery mentioned repeatedly across different orders

Watch: 5 Best Cake Shops in Dubai (2026)

How we score these cake shops

Rating is the live Google average for each shop. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a rating, ranked against the others here. Confidence blends the two, since a high rating means more with a larger review base behind it. Recency checks how recently people are still leaving feedback, and completeness checks whether a shop has a working site, phone number, and posted hours. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a cake cost in Dubai? (2026)

None of the shops on this page publish a fixed general price list for custom cakes, and cost depends heavily on size, design complexity, and whether it’s a walk-in slice or a full custom birthday order. One reviewer at Flaky Pastry did mention specific menu item prices for individual pastries, but that doesn’t translate directly to cake pricing elsewhere on this list, so the most reliable way to get a number is to call or message the shop with your order details.

Serving all of Dubai

These shops span a wide stretch of the city, from Downtown Dubai and Dubai Mall to Jumeirah 1, City Walk, and Al Jadaf, which covers most of the areas people search for a cake shop near me in Dubai. Delivery is a common thread across several of these businesses, so even if the shop itself isn’t around the corner, a cake can often still reach you the same day.

What to ask before you order a cake in Dubai

How far in advance do you need the order for a custom design?
Can you send a photo of the finished cake before delivery?
Do you offer gluten-free, vegan, or eggless options?
What’s the delivery radius, and is there a fee for my area?
Can I customize the flavor and size, or only pick from set options?
What happens if the cake is damaged in transit?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these cake shops?

We looked at real Google Business Profiles for cake shops in Dubai and ranked them by rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this page updated?

We last verified these ratings and review counts in July 2026. Shops and menus change over time, so always confirm current details before ordering.

Which shop has the most reviews?

Scorpios carries the highest review volume on this page, though its available reviews describe general food and retail rather than cakes specifically, so we’d call ahead to confirm cake availability.

Can I get a cake delivered same-day in Dubai?

Several shops on this page, including Mister Berry, mention same-day delivery in reviews, but always confirm timing directly when you place a custom order.

Do any of these shops do more than cakes?

Yes. Angel Cakes and Milk Bakery both run full cafe menus alongside their cakes, and Flaky Pastry focuses primarily on croissants and pastries.

The bottom line

Angel Cakes and Mister Berry are the safest defaults here, one for its wide gluten-free dessert range in Dubai Mall, the other for a delivery process reviewers trust for birthday orders. If you’re ordering for a specific date, confirm the design and delivery window directly, since that’s where most cake orders go wrong.
