1 Life Kitchen and Cafe

Visited One Life in Dubai and was thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, making it a perfect spot for any time of the day. Their outdoor seating area is especially wonderful, offering a serene escape in the heart of the city. The food lived up to expectations, delicious and well-presented. Service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. Highly recommend for both locals and tourists alike!

Superb place to be at, weekend or weekday, shoer cool vibes.

Their breakfast deal is amazing amazing amazing for 2 people. Also quantity is huge.
The coffees are huge

Love being here always!

I ordered laksa. Probably, after so many years of living in Asia, It didn't taste good for me: with grilled chicken, from.boiled Broccoli, fresh onions and pickled mushrooms. Taste strange.so I had no desire to return

رائع ، نباتات طبيعية و جلسات داخلية وخارجية ، جميل في النهار ️ ، الخدمة ممتازة ، انصح بالكابتشيتو لذيذة و طعم القهوة فيها واضح و تبخيرة الحليب ممتازة. الكرواسونات فرررش (طازجة) ولذيذة ، البرغر لذيذ ، الطلب الواحد راهي يكفي للمشاركة احيانا.

I tried the egg avo toast for breakfast and it was DELICIOUS!
The staff are very friendly.

One of the best places to be in D3 whether it’s breakfast or any other meal.
The team their is extremely friendly and helpful all the time.
I love their French toast, Moroccan Lime Tea and Cortado coffee

Worse food ever eaten in Dubai.

The salad was not mixed well. The beef sandwich was full of mayonnaise and not unequally made. Vs.a very high price of AED 80 for the sandwich.

Not to come again.

Not recommending at all.

Always my favorite spot at Design District. Beautiful vibes, and delicious food. If you’re going to sit outside there might be a bit of a delay especially on weekends.

EXCELLENT staff, great atmosphere, the music is perfect, plug sockets for working, incredibly yummy food. Just a wonderful atmosphere- I come here so often because of the excellent service from all the staff and the perfect vibes. Favourite cafe in Dubai easily!

Loved the food. It was really good.
Staff was cool.
Lovely ambience. Neat. Will definitely go back.
I strongly recommend that you try it out and let me know you dropped 5 stars.

STUNNING location, Ample free parking, GREAT ambiance and simply beautiful food. I am on love with 1life️ Went here on a weekend morning for a breakfast meet and we were so happy we chose this place!
It was my first time eating the Turkish cilbir eggs and OHMYGOD they were the best! Definitely going back just for this! Also loved the french toast and croissants. Theres a huge indoor and outdoor seating so it’s perfect to work, chill or even just take pictures!
You will definitely fall in love with the place️

One of the best places to feed your soul!
My personal favourite is the avocado chicken sandwich. Generally the tuna melt sandwich is very famous there.
Also great veg options like Beetroot burger, Falafel Plate etc
Amazing Salads which can be clubbed in a bowl. The deserts are fantastic.

Best of all they serve draft beer as well!

It really doesn’t get any better than this
Bassma’s bulghur 10/10 (Out of this world)
Avocado pesto pasta 10/10 (Insane flavors)
Add Batatas Bravia

Sat-Sun they have an amazing dj

Very good sandwiches, even possible to have burger with gluten free bread which was delicious. Very cosy atmosphere, tasty almond orange cake. On top of this super friendly service. We would come back!

Great ambiance, great food, my mind is on it now.want to go again! Has an event last time and turned out that everyone loved the place.

Good healthy choice. The ambiance was good and chilled out. A Nice spot for coffee or breakfast with friends and family.

The tail wags the dog in this place; if you want a slight modification to anything, the answer is “NO! ”
They point blank refused to substitute regular bread for a croissant for their ‘Morning After’ sandwich.
Apparently, this is the head chef and owner’s instruction.
I’d like to thank the owner and head chef for their customer centricity in being so accommodating.
For those who misread the last sentence, it’s sarcasm.
I along with 2 other tables walked out!
Good luck in your business folks!

Nice restaurant with amazing decorations and vibe, music its so nice, and the nft work its so good
Location great, in fron of free parking
Everything was nice, Price is reasonable also
Only the cola they sell was so little amount

Ambiance and service is okay, food is a major let down. The quality of their steak is cheap for its price and there’s that cheap after taste to it. The chimichurri does not taste like a proper one. Mango shake tasted okay. Overall not worth it.

AS I CANNOT REPLY ON THE BELOW RESPONSE FROM THE BUSINESS, I AM UPDATING MY REVIEW/ANSWER: Indeed, there'a a lot far better tenderloin/steak out there in the city, want to know where? Invest in market research and go out of the comfort of your bubble. I wouldn't mind paying AED 500 for a slice of steak if it's worth it. I am writing from my personal experience having dined across the city and being part of the hospitality/service based industry in Dubai.

Not the place when you want to do some work with you laptop in a cafe, but maybe a place for chat with your friends, that’s it

فطرت عندهم اوفر نايت اوتس، عليه تفاح وقرفه وفيه زبيبي وعليه روب يوناني، بصراحه عيبني وخصوصا انه معاه تفاح، قعده المكان حلوه خصوصا برع اذا الجو حلو.

The foods were just okay. It is very crowded during lunch time but it is a good and comfortable place where you can work

I ordered a tuna melt and at least expected the bread to be hot. It was at room temperature and the cheese inside melted, but probably some time before, as when I got the sandwich it was hard and cold. I was there one year ago, and must admit that I had a much better experience with food.

We had a group dinner yesterday at One Life…
It was an amazing event…Everything was perfect - Delicious, Healthy and Tasty buffet, nice display and excellent service. I loved the style and design of the restaurant very suitable for group events…
We first enjoyed cocktails on the outside terrace…
Then we had dinner inside in a casual and cosy ambiance. I definitely recommend One Life for group events as well as for enjoying family and friends gatherings…

I stopped at 1Life for the second time as I was spending some time in Dubai. It's just as a great as I remembered it! Coffee is great, food is delicious, well prepared with fresh ingredients and the service is super friendly, casual and efficient. Highly recommend for coffee or simple but expertly prepared food. Love it!

Good place for breakfast. Good vibe, very delicious and healthy food. Moreover you can work from here, just try to come early as the place is packed from the morning

A lazy Saturday calls for a Good Healthy Breakfast. Prefer Breakfast menu at 1 or 2 pm yet with Lunch menu too. Only One Life Kitchen does that. Summer offer which lasts until 3 pm. Their menu is not too complicated but has one for everyone's taste buds. There is Turkish, American, Western, Thai, British and Mediterranean. This is a very spacious Cafe and interiorised in a high ceiling platform with wide window lights and greenery that sweeps the Beauty. A mini library, High stool seating for those on the go and spacious seatings for friends and families. Very Cozy and Comfortablility at its best.
What ordered were the Shakshoumi, Lemon Bundt Cake on Breakfast menu and Thai Red curry from the luncheon. For drinks the Takes Two to Mango. Fresh juice of Mango, Passion, Banana and Orange all blended dripping in goodness is really a Frest start for a Lazy Saturday. After the juice went to dig in Shakshoumi with Organic eggs dunked in tomato and capsicum sauce with all the goodness of Grilled Halloumi topped with house pesto on the top. The palatable was filled with nuts, sour and sweet tomato capsicum and grilled halloumi for the icing to the eggs. Can have such a healthy Breakfast everyday. Happy with that delved into the Thai Red Curry had to be the Creamilicious and Coconuty with beautiful tiger prawns with a pick of squash. A healthy twist to the Red Thai Curry went along with Cumin Steamed Rice. The steamed rice was Super Perfect with a twist taste of Cumin.

A beautifully designed eatery with delicious food and wonderful and friendly staff. For first timers to design district, don't worry, there's ample space to park.

I went here for breakfast and it was such a lovely spot! The ambience and food was both hand in hand.

You HAAAAVE to try their Turkish eggs, that’s such a highlight‍
Their version of shakshuka is also MOUTH WATERING! Great food, great staff and great ambience

Very nice comfy place with very friendly stuff I am very big variety of healthy food I went there for breakfast and tried the shakeshome and avotoast by the recommendation of the staff and I didn’t regret that which was very good the place is very much recommended and the food was great

Loved the place and the food! We tried their breakfast menu and were happy with the freshness of the food and also the ambience of the cafe is amazing.

Very relaxing and suitable cafe for remote working. Came here to enjoy a cup of americano and working in the environment where I can concentrate on work. And huge but nicely made wooden desk and friendly staff absolutely made the best ambience for it. Loved it!

One life is one of the finest cafes in Dubai to go for Breakfast and Brunch.
The food is made fresh daily and has a wide range to choose from. They offer exciting, nutritious yet affordable food for all.
Apart from food, the cafe’s ambiance is bright and beautiful in short totally #instaworthy.
.
We enjoyed branching at @onelife and if you want to enjoy too then visit them for your next breakfast or brunch.

I really enjoyed the breakfast! It’s been out to go place for coffee and salads as well. Those looking for gluten free, dairy free and vegan options this is a perfect place to be. Located in design district it’s amazing

Went with a friend to TGTN event at One Life Kitchen on saturday and I must say the vibe was great! Staff was friendly and polite but most of all the food was amazing. Big up to Chef Kelvin!

Yummilicious food

We ordered our food through @deliveroo_ae, recieved contactless delivery within 20mins.

Food was properly packed in biodegradable/ eco friendly boxes.

We ordered:

Filthy falafel wrap with chunky fries
Zaatar croissant
Mushroom croissant
It takes two to mango smoothie
Chocolate walnut brownie.

Food was delicious & healthy.we enjoyed our lunch.

Simple and peaceful restaurant. Totally in love with the ambience. I didn’t expect the cafe to be busy on a Saturday but that’s a good thing. Visited this restaurant for breakfast.
1️⃣Shakshoumi: The flavours were good. There was slightly little more tomatoes than regular ones.
2️⃣Pulled Beef Benedict: The pulled beef can be better. The mushrooms on top of this were delicious.
3️⃣Customised Croissant: I added smoked salmon and avocados to my croissant. Classic and delicious.
4️⃣Stacked Bancakes: These were the best oat pancakes I have eaten. It’s much better with the maple syrup. I recommend this.
5️⃣French Toast: The hazelnut spread was so delicious and fresh. I recommend this as well.

Overall, It’s a nice place for a breakfast.

حبيبت وايد هالمطعم اللذيذ وسيع وكبير وطابقين مريح ديكورة بسيط ومنيمليست. وأهم شي اكله عيبني وايد حلو واستمتعت.

After a long walk along the canal, we stopped in for a late breakfast; The first thing was noticed was the genuine warm welcome, something that is so rare in Dubai.
The great service continued until the end. We had the halloumi and egg croissant which was so simple yet so good, the croissant was fresh and flakey.
The coffee is highly recommended, in fact we had two each. Relaxing outdoor seating; the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by.
We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing breakfast. Quality of the ingredients is obvious from the first bite. Every dish had a unique and fresh flavor and portions were perfect.
We tried the pulled beef Benedict, avo on egg on toast, beef and pine nut pastry (the best), egg shakshoumi, a cortado, flat white and green juice. Dessert was covered by a delicious slice of carrot cake. Every single dish helds its own as something I would order again. My 3 year old loved all the food too.

Probably one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long, long time.
Indoor seating (+family area) and outdoor seating available.

Love the place, especially the upstairs quite study area, to study, chill, have a fresh juice, a chicken sandwich with avocado, nice ambient music. Fast service and reasonably prices

One of the best cafes i visited spacious, relaxed place staff are so friendly and the food was extremely in the high level so delicious we tried salad and burger and we tried also the cheesecake lotus and theirs coffee so yummy for sure i will return back

Shakshoukah is delicious, pancake is average. Grilled chicken sandwich is delicious and fresh. I liked their black coffee & decoration. They have a variety of healthy food in reasonable price.

One Life Kitchen and Cafe is a place I can’t stop coming back to.

The vibe is both hip and comfortable, like sitting in your own backyard. There’s plants wherever you look; on the ceiling, in the corners, by the door.

The food is extremely clean and healthy, with options like daily salads (that you can mix and match!), freshly baked desserts and cakes, and All Day Breakfast options (Shakshoumi, French Toast, Sweetcorn Fritters, oh my!).

The staff are both friendly and helpful, making sure both you and your tummy stay happy!

This is It’s a great place for individuals or groups to go for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon coffee!

I don’t even work in D3, and I make the journey just to come here.

Tasteful food prepared nice staff, well located visible at the first line tea and great drinks options sauces are excellent I recommend this places and will be back

It can’t be any better than this, healthy delicious food and a great service by an amazing crew!
On another note, please bring down the prices a notch.

Declaration of cafe was awesome but the food was the cold and the price until bit
high 3/5 for service & cafe
***
croissant cheese and croissant chicken and croissant cheese, thyme, latte and orange juice

Delicious healthy menu with vegan option available. Awesome decor. Friendly staff. Lots of parking available in the area. Great breakfast deal for 2 at AED125. (choice of 3 breakfast dish, 2 coffees, 2 fresh orange juice). Fresh coconut is also available which is amazing!

The place is amazing. It's great if you are looking for a place to work or relax the food is healthy but delicious. I work with my team from the place and I enjoy my time my food and the staff are very professional and friendly.well recommend

1Life represents good coffee x good food- a double whammy. It is the perfect lunch spot, which serves all day brekkies, because, who doesn’t love some good ol’ eggs and pancakes at 3: 00PM? But for the strange ones amongst us, who will turn down such amazing offer, they also serve main courses that vary from tenderloin steak to stir-fried noodles and of course, always accompanied by a tantalising cup of coffee.

Highly recommended for those people who loves healthy food. Very nice atmosphere they got some lively vibes the staff are cool and awesome! Must try!

Service a bit slow and food's quality doesnt justify the 4 stars average. Location is pleasant.

I had Egg on toast and Croissant Babak is back food presentation, portion and quality not exciting.

Awesome place, exquisite attention to details (architectural or food presentation), great range of food (especially salads), could become my hanging out place

Visited this place after they reopened and had a bad experience. Food is good, but overpriced. The Shakshoumi is tasty, but comes with one peace of toast cut in two which is not even close to be enough for that much egg and tomatoes. I asked for more toast and they brought one more peace cut in half and charged me AED 4 extra in the bill.

One of the best places to eat around dubai design district. Delicious healthy food. Coffee. Great ambience. Lovely staff and amazing service. Newly redecorated and renovated.

The atmosphere and design is interesting. Service is ok but the taste always leaves you a bit disappointed.

Amazing place at Dubai Design District. One of the best tacos I have eaten. The beef in the taco was soo soft, tender and juicy. The chicken taco was amazing. The ambiance is soo calming as if you are sitting in a lush environment.

What a lovely place and foods and very warm welcome, he own my client his the Boss #NEJIB 1LIFE DESIGN DISTRICT Congrats

Sultan Ahmed Kebab is yummy. I am also in love with their Orange Almond cake. Friendly staff, only good vibes.
