There’s a reason people keep going back to Bread Ahead – and it is not just the iconic doughnuts (though, yes, those are amazing). The sourdough pizzas, freshly pulled from the oven with that perfect, golden crust… game changer.

We checked out their newest spot at City Centre Mirdif and let’s just say — this London bakery knows how to impress. If you have already been to their Mall of the Emirates or DIFC branches, you’ll know what to expect: British baking at its finest.

We had a classic sourdough pizza, fresh out of the oven — the kind with just the right amount of char on the crust and a melt-in-your-mouth texture inside. We paired it with some sandwiches and one of their legendary filled doughnuts (the pistachio one is out of this world) and a hot latte – this was a meal that’s equal parts cozy and indulgent. I had salmon and cream cheese bagel and that was a total hit.

The vibe of the café is chill and the smell of fresh bread hits you as soon as you walk in, and there’s something about seeing those pastries lined up behind the counter that makes you feel like you’re in on a secret the rest of the city hasn’t discovered yet.

Whether you’re grabbing a coffee and croissant on the go or hosting a weekend brunch at home with their bakery boxes, Bread Ahead is now firmly on our list of go-to places in Dubai. Mirdif folks, you are in for a treat!
