I know I know I know….habits are hard to break, especially when they involve returning to a great little spot for a bite (or lots of bites!) to eat. So, knowing from my last visit that this visit would be JUST as good, off I went to La Brioche here in Abu Dhabi for a late breakfast.
Of course, I was not to be disappointed.
Warmly greeted by the team with smiles as bright as the sun, I took a spot at a table by the window, and inhaled the freshness of the bread.
Surrounded by the sights of all of these colorful treats, it was hard to decide what to pick….
Opting for the combo breakfast once again proved to be a wise choice.
Just take a look at this special sight that arrived at my table! How thoughtful is that?
And here is the master at work.
After enjoying breakfast and that steaming hot chocolate, it was time to take in the sights and smells of the display counter….
Here’s a special Birthday Cake..don’t you just love those Smurfs? Someone is going to be giddy over this surprise!
Speaking of cake….did I mention the cake that followed breakfast?….didn’t think so…yes, I saved ALL MOST some of it for later…..cake for dinner!
Good thing I live thousands of miles away, or I’d be here every day and weigh far too much to fit into any of my clothes! But I am looking forward to just one last visit on Tuesday night, before flying home to Atlanta on Wednesday.
La Brioche Team, you have made my visit to your cafe a special “souvenir” to take home! Thanks for your kindness.

Susan,
I have enjoyed following you on your journey to Ahbu Dahbi. Great photos and great descriptions of your findings. Happy for you things are going so well. Proud of you that you are getting out there and exploring on your own.

It has been a journey, that’s for sure! So culturally different, with people from all over the world coming here to make a better life for themselves. It must be tough, because they leave their families behind, and only get to go home about once every 12-18 months to visit. They have much more resiliency than I would have, for sure. I’m a big baby, getting homesick after only 3 weeks..LOL!

Oh wow! Now that’s a breakfast but I really LOVE the message in your cup. I’m still trying to figure out if that first photo is very colorful hamburgers or whoopee pies?
You’ve obviously made a very positive impression on the wonderful staff there. Bet they welcome you back any time.

The team there is more like a little family, all working together with a commonn goal. Total pleasure to sit and enjoy my visit there, and the clients all talk to each other (unlike a lot of other places). The message really was a fun surprise!
