Drop by a cool cafe

Tashas abu dhabi

With strong Insta-feed energy, tashas originated in South Africa, but is well-established as a part of the local fabric here. Sublime interiors and a kitchen team with a trained eye for gastronomic detail helped make this eatery an essential pin-drop for those that enjoy crafty cuisine with their coffee. In a sentence, good food, great coffee and nice aesthetics make this a solid remote working spot.
