Let’s be honest—some things in life just make sense. Like pineapple not belonging on pizza. Or how your willpower instantly evaporates the moment you smell fresh doughnuts. And now, joining the ranks of perfect pairings, comes the glorious news: Bread Ahead has opened its third location in Dubai—this time in City Centre Mirdif. Cue the carb-loaded happy dance.
A Bakery That’s Anything But Basic
If you’ve already been to Bread Ahead at Mall of the Emirates or DIFC, you know this isn’t just any bakery. No, no. This is the holy grail of baked goods—the Buckingham Palace of buns, the Oxford of oozing doughnuts. Originally from Borough Market in London, Bread Ahead has built a cult-like following since 2013, and now it’s serving up its mouthwatering magic to Mirdif’s hungry crowd.

Doughnuts That Deserve Their Own Fan Club
From pillowy pistachio and vanilla doughnuts that are basically edible hugs to crispy sourdough pizzas that have likely ruined all other pizzas for you forever, this place is a carb lover’s playground. And don’t get us started on their delicate pastries and expertly brewed coffee—because yes, your caffeine addiction deserves to be pampered too.
Open Early, Close Late—Because Cravings Don’t Follow Business Hours
Oh, and the timing? Chef’s kiss. They’re open daily from 8:30 AM to 11 PM. So whether you’re a morning person hunting down the perfect croissant to pair with your existential dread (we mean coffee) or a late-night snack ninja craving something beyond microwave noodles, Bread Ahead’s got your back.
Matthew Jones Is on a Mission (To Make Us All Carb-Obsessed)
Founder Matthew Jones—aka the Willy Wonka of Borough Market—shared, “The love Dubai has shown us has been amazing, and we’re excited to bring our artisanal baking to even more people.” Translation: we’ve eaten so many doughnuts, they’re opening another store just to keep up.

Old-School Baking, Modern-Day Magic
So what makes Bread Ahead special? It’s not just about flour, sugar, and butter (though let’s not pretend those aren’t heavenly on their own). It’s about craftsmanship, passion, and quality ingredients that would make even your grandma’s secret recipe raise an eyebrow. Every loaf, pastry, and pizza slice is made the old-school way—with time, love, and zero shortcuts.
Your Next Cheat Day Starts Now
Bottom line? If you’ve never tried Bread Ahead, this is your sign. And if you have? Well, now you just have one more reason to swing by Mirdif and pretend you’re “just browsing.” (We see you, walking out with a full box of doughnuts.)
