If you’re searching for the best Japanese desserts in Abu Dhabi, look no further than Anko Japanese Patisserie. Perched above teamLab Phenomena in the Saadiyat Cultural District, Anko is the city’s newest hotspot for matcha desserts, wagashi, and elegant Japanese sweets — all served with stunning sea views.
Why Anko is Special
Anko is more than a café; it’s a cultural experience. Inspired by oshibana (pressed flower art) and Japanese minimalism, the interiors create a serene space that feels worlds away from the city buzz. Pair that with rooftop views and you’ve got one of Abu Dhabi’s most Instagrammable dessert destinations.
What to Try at Anko Japanese Patisserie
Here’s what foodies can’t stop raving about:
- Yuzu Cheesecake Abu Dhabi’s most refreshing dessert – tangy, creamy, and perfectly balanced.
- Cold Brewed Matcha Tea – smooth, earthy, and a must for matcha lovers.
- Mochi – soft, chewy Japanese rice cakes that melt in your mouth.
- Japanese Pan Bread & Yogashi Pastries – fusion treats that blend East and West.
- Katsu Sandwich & Tofu Salad – savory bites that complete the experience.
Recommended dishes: Yuzu cheesecake, mochi, katsu sandwich, cold-brewed matcha.
Insider Tips
✔ No ticket needed for teamLab — walk straight up to the rooftop. ✔ Weekdays are quieter, perfect for a peaceful matcha moment. ✔ Portions are refined, not oversized — a true taste of Japanese authenticity.

From delicate wagashi to creative matcha desserts, Anko is Abu Dhabi’s new go-to spot for anyone craving something refined yet Instagram-worthy. Whether you’re a dessert lover, a café hopper, or simply searching for a unique rooftop with a view — Anko ticks all the boxes.
