This is really cute they really copied what i really want for the cake and also the cake itself is really yummy! Red velvet is superb! This is my second time to order a cake from them. Definitely not the last Thank you Tawa

One of the very few locations that serve gluten free food in Abu Dhabi. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, staff are friendly and attentive. Food is great. Coffee was excellent!

Absolutely Wonderful Experience! This place is a hidden gem! It's cozy, beautifully designed, and makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The food is beyond amazing – every dish I tried was bursting with flavor and clearly made with love. What really made the visit special was the staff – incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a warm atmosphere and outstanding food!

An absolute must-visit for anyone with celiac disease or gluten intolerance! Tawa Bakery in Abu Dhabi is a true haven for gluten-free dining. Everything on the menu is 100% gluten-free, so there’s no need to worry about cross-contamination. The selection is amazing: pasta dishes, burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, soups, desserts, and breakfast, all fresh, delicious, and completely safe. You can also conveniently order through Talabat, and delivery works perfectly. A wonderful place where you can truly enjoy your meal without any worries!

It's a nice gluten free place, my favourite was the onion rings

Tawa Bakery always impresses! A great safe spot for coeliacs and delicious food that people with regular diets can enjoy too. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and beautiful patisserie items make for a well-rounded dining experience.

The place is beautiful and relaxing. Their baked goods are gluten free and some items taste even better than the non gluten free versions. I recommend the salted caramel brownie, salted chocolate chip cookies, and wagyu burger. Their cupcakes and eclair are also good but the brownie is better.

Absolutely loving this new spot and everything it has to offer! The menu boasts a great variety, and everything looks so tempting. I went for the chicken burger with fries, and it was absolutely delicious. This place might just become my new go-to! Will definitely visit again.
