Our Favourite Sweet Treats At The Galleria Mall

Whether you’re shopping, socialising or just craving a sweet treat, The Galleria has some of the cutest - and yummiest - snacks to grab on the go. Whether it’s a refreshing bubble tea, some of the best (and most authentic) gelato in Abu Dhabi or a cupcake from a famous New York brand, take a look at our favourite Gallera Mall treats.

Tiger Sugar 

Food Court, The Galleria Mall, Al Maryah Island 

A secret gem in Galleria Mall, Tiger Sugar is a must-visit for boba lovers looking for customisable, flavour-packed drinks at great prices. The vibe is chill with friendly staff, upbeat music, and a compact but open space that never feels overcrowded. Customise your ideal combination, with adjustable ice, varying sweetness levels, and a range of boba and jelly options. 

We loved the Tower Mango Sago with Cream Mousse (AED 21) – it was fruity, refreshing, and not too sweet, making it perfect for summer! – and the Brown Sugar Pearl + Boba + Tiger Coffee Jelly (AED 22), which delivers a gentle coffee kick that, regardless of your coffee preference, you're sure to enjoy (accompanied by plenty of chewy boba, of course). With so many flavours to explore, this spot makes it easy to find your perfect sip.
