"Came to sandersons cafe on a saturday morning with my friend and it was such a lovely spot. The interior is gorgeous, like really thoughtfully done feels cosy and elegant at the same time which is hard to pull off. We ordered the eggs benedict and the pancakes to share plus 2 cappuccinos. Coffee was honestly really good, well made and not bitter at all. The eggs benedict were spot on, hollandaise was creamy and the eggs were cooked just right. Pancakes were fluffy and not too sweet which i appreciated. Service was friendly and the staff didnt rush us out which was great bc we ended up sitting and chatting for a good hour or so after we finished eating. It does get busy on weekends so we did have to wait a few minutes for a table when we arrived. Prices are a bit on the higher side but for the quality and the experience it felt worth it. Will def be coming back, prob next weekend tbh."

"Kids friendly, good service, and gorgeous interior made it worth it. I didn’t really like the cortado though the food was good. Staff were humble and music was good. Kids play area and pool view make the wait worthwhile."

"A charming little café inside the resort (though also accessible by the public) serving great coffee, desserts, all-day breakfast and other bites. The decor has beautiful, retro vibes and accented by plants and other fresh decor. Has a kids play area outside, and view of the swimming pool, although the seating in front next to the yard seems better! The coffee was great, and the molten lava cake was delicious! Knocking off one star as it was quite pricey for what it is, but more than makes up with great ambience, cheerful staff and service."

"I stayed at the Andalus Al Seef Resort & Spa. I was surprised to find a cool little breakfast spot inside of the village mall. The ambiance and the vibe were fantastic, the food was pretty solid, and I enjoyed the variety of their beverage selection. I highly recommend the kombucha‘s or the power up smoothie. We ate here a couple of times during our one week stay. If you’re staying at the resort or just in the vicinity, I’d highly recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for a great breakfast spot in Abu Dhabi."
