I had an amazing time at AYA. French toast and Matcha latte were so good! The toast was a bit too sweet though, even though I didn’t pour so much syrup. Matcha latte was nice. Not too milky. The atmosphere was peaceful even though it’s fully booked. Love the experience dining at AYA!

Thought they only had sweetly stuff, but no. I enjoyed their avocado toast with added eggs and salmon. And the coffee tasted really good. Friendly service but when many people come the service team gets overloaded (not enough waiters; poor guy was alone)

This cafe is amazing from all aspects. Every time i visit Yas Mall i should pass by AYA Cafe with my niece and order the great churros ala minute that the chefs are making and sit in the great ambiance with very lovely staff. I would like to thank staff “ Niraj “ for his great service and his help in choosing amazing items from the Menu even sometimes he’s very busy but he still very helpful and trying his best to keep the customers satisfied. Yesterday we came as well and we ordered the amazing Japanese Cheesecake with the Clementine Sorbet. It’s very delicious dishes with simple and nice plating and garnish. I also liked the kind of plates that they are choosing for their dishes. Nice furniture and simple design in overall everything is my way. Thanks to all staff and chefs for the good work

The cheese cake is tasty and the texture is light and not heavy. The ice cream is not creamy but it is tasty as well. Also, I tried the pan cake which is the signature dish in Aya cafe. It is very fluffy and delicious. I enjoyed the taste of Dates and Sandel wood tea. I like the atmosphere there and the staff is friendly.

I just wanted to say how wonderful our experience was today! Niraj was incredibly kind, welcoming, and very patient with us. It had been a long time since we visited, but he made us feel right at home. His positive attitude and warm smile truly stood out. Also, the matcha was absolutely delicious — perfectly balanced and refreshing. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!
