Gia, one of my favorite cafes launched a breakfast menu sometime back and I finally had the chance to try it this past weekend.
The Gia breakfast menu is divided into four main parts, “A Healthy Start” which includes granola, fruit and oatmeal bowls, “Eggscuze You” which includes three kinds of egg dishes, “Sandwiches” which also includes three dishes and finally the “What Diet?” section which includes french toast and waffles. I ended up going for the Poached Eggs on Avocados with a side of sausages while my friend went for two eggs any style with a side of bacon.
My Poached Eggs on Avocados turned out to be pretty good, the eggs were perfectly cooked and were really runny just like I had asked for. Flavor wise it might have lacked a bit but healthy food generally does. My friends eggs were fine as well since you can’t really go wrong with scrambled eggs plus I think he ordered the most boring dish on the menu.
Now the sides on the other hand were both so not worth it. The bacon was just 4 small strips, not crispy and weren’t even warm. The sausages were also 4 small pieces and weren’t that great either. Each of those sides cost KD1 which I think is overpriced considering my favorite breakfast place Cocoa Room gives you so much more for the same price and also taste so much better. I’d definitely not order any sides the next time I’m there.
Ignoring the underwhelming sides, breakfast was enjoyable and Gia is now going to be one of my weekend breakfast destinations. If you’re interested their instagram account is @giakwt and they serve breakfast from 9AM to 11AM. Here is a link to their [Menu]

I love Gia but they need to extend breakfast to 12 pm on weekends 🙂
Our breakfast is open until 1pm on weekends! come by any time 🙂
I love GIA…quality of food, drinks and decoration…but they should refresh their menu before its too late…last but not least, whenever I am asking something I am always getting the answer “sorry sir, manager said…”…what happened to the “regular customer asks?”
Gia is our neighbourhood cafe. Went in today to get a treat for my daughter (she loves their pavlova) and ordered their fruit blend. They placed the drink on the thin ledge by the cashier. My daughter accidently touched it and it toppled over. I sincerely apologised for the accident but the male staff who was there didn’t even have the courtesy to acknowledge it or even offer another drink. I just walked out of the cafe feeling like I never want to go back there again. I was a regular customer who felt neglected.
Dear Myriam
Thank you for making us aware of this issue and we really care about our customer’s experience (especially those who are regulars). I have already spoken to the management at the restaurant to make sure this would not happen again. Please email me on [email protected] about any other complaints we can address to assure your next visit will be enjoyable (And a fruit blend on us ofcourse). We apologise for any inconvenience and would never want you to feel neglected.
Best
