Home Bakery Kitchen and UAE womenswear brand Mayka have launched an Italy-themed popup at Galleria Mall Al Barsha with exclusive menu items running April 24 to May 2.
If you have been looking for a reason to visit Galleria Mall Al Barsha, the Home Bakery x Mayka Dubai popup is it. Home Bakery Kitchen has teamed up with Dubai womenswear brand Mayka for a limited-time Italy-themed experience running from April 24 to May 2, and the full menu plus a very compelling box with a surprise inside is waiting for you at the Al Barsha location.
What the Home Bakery x Mayka Dubai Popup Is All About
Two of the UAE’s most-followed brands got together, and the concept is a trip to Italy. Home Bakery Kitchen, the dessert café and restaurant founded by Hind Al Mulla, has joined forces with Mayka, the contemporary womenswear label created by Dubai-based Egyptian designer May Orfy. The popup is running at the Galleria Mall Al Barsha kitchen location through May 2, and it has its own distinct menu, its own branding, and its own Italian vacation concept attached to it.
This is not a routine seasonal update. The Italy theme is intentional, it runs through the food, the packaging, and the overall aesthetic of the collab.
The Italy-Inspired Menu at the Popup
Three exclusive items are available at the popup, and none of them are on the permanent menu. The lineup: an exclusive lemon sorbet, a coco mango frappe, and an iced tiramisu. All three are only available at Home Bakery Kitchen in Galleria Mall Al Barsha for the duration of the collab.
Home Bakery Kitchen at this location is open daily from 7 AM to midnight, has outdoor seating, and is a full café and restaurant, not just a dessert counter. Worth making it a proper sit-down visit rather than a quick in-and-out.
The Chewy Melt Box With AED 1,500 Hidden Inside
This is where the collab gets genuinely interesting. Home Bakery has released a limited Home Bakery x Mayka Chewy Melt Box for this popup. Four of those boxes have Mayka vouchers worth AED 1,500 tucked inside, and there is no way to tell which ones. You pick up a box, and either you win or you do not.
The Chewy Melt is one of Home Bakery’s most iconic items, with a dedicated following among regular customers. Getting it in a co-branded Mayka box, with the possibility of walking away with AED 1,500 in fashion vouchers, is a compelling reason to grab one during the popup window.
The packaging itself is worth mentioning. The Home Bakery x Mayka Chewy Melt Box features a Mayka-coded design that doubles as a collector’s item for fans of either brand.
Who Are Home Bakery and Mayka
Home Bakery was founded by Hind Al Mulla, starting from a home kitchen before growing into a well-known café and dessert destination with locations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh. The brand has built its name on handmade items and rotating seasonal specials, with the Chewy Melt cookie as one of its most recognizable products.
Mayka was launched in Dubai by Egyptian designer May Orfy. The brand focuses on contemporary womenswear at accessible price points, with each collection drawing from May Orfy’s love of travel and cross-cultural experiences. Mayka ships worldwide and holds a showroom in Dubai on Al Khayat Avenue, with over 187,000 followers on Instagram.
Get There While It Is Still Running
The Home Bakery x Mayka popup wraps on May 2, and nothing on this menu is staying permanently. Limited items, hidden AED 1,500 vouchers, and a proper Italian summer concept from two UAE brands doing it well: it is all at Home Bakery Kitchen, Galleria Mall Al Barsha. Go now.
