This buzzing spot in the popular cultural neighbourhood of Dubai nabbed the Highly Commended All-Day Dining award in our What’s On Dubai Awards 2021. The highly-caffeinated, quick-beating heart of the coffee scene with brews on tap. They even serve up some seriously cool dishes.

Single Fin at Umm Sequim

SINGLE FIN

Single Fin inside the Surf House is a safe haven for barefoot warriors, hair still wet, who are looking for a healthy meal after a workout. Wax your board or prep your paddleboard while sipping a cold brew.

Around the Block at Wasl 51

Around the Block coffee cafe dubai

This sneaker concept store meets cafe – and What’s On highly-commended award winner – uses its ATB Kaffeine beans to brew speciality coffee. Just how good is it? Well, traffic has been known to come to a standstill outside Around the Block, as cars – literally – queue around the block for takeaway coffees.

AIR Specialty Coffee at Jumeirah Beach Road

AIR Specialty Coffee

A hole-in-the-wall that takes speciality coffee very seriously. You’ll know when the beans were harvested, and at what altitude, and they’ll tell you the producer’s name. They then pair their coffees with deconstructed puddings.

Common Grounds at Mall Of The Emirates

A stalwart, similar to its Sum of Us and Tom and Serg siblings, CG uses its own Encounter Coffee Roasters beans to showcase Melbourne’s coffee heritage. The beans are great, the food is great, the service is great, too.

As more outlets open, its fan base grows, and quite right, too. This organic speciality coffee roaster offers single-origin, Arabica coffee beans sourced directly from Ethiopia. No gimmicks, just ace beans.
