8 of the best garden cafés in Dubai for nature, coffee, and cool interiors

Air-con inside, greenery outside – here’s where to show up when you want both

Summer is here, and yes, we’re all melting. But that doesn’t mean giving up on nature entirely. It’s that psychological comfort of being surrounded by green. And lucky for us, Dubai has more than a few spots that bring the outdoors in, or at least make you feel like they do. Leafy corners, good coffee, and no heatstroke. Here are 8 of the best garden cafés in Dubai right now. Save them for when you need a break from buildings.
