Be good to the environment and get your caffeine fix for less…

We all love our morning coffee but what if you could be helping the environment while drinking it? Many of us are making switches to be more eco-friendly, like paper straws instead of plastic and reusable instead of disposable coffee and water cups. There’s plenty of places in Dubai who are also encouraging the initiative, offering discounts when you use a reusable cup.

These Dubai coffee shops will give you money off when you use them…

Costa Coffee

Being one of the world’s largest corporate coffee shops, it’s no surprise that Costa Coffee is doing their bit for the environment. When you take in your own reusable cup or buy one of theirs for Dhs16, they’ll give you Dhs2 off your daily coffee.

Take your own cup to any Lime Tree Cafe branch in Dubai and get Dhs2 off your coffee. If you’re feeling a little peckish, don’t overlook their carrot cake, which is pretty famous in Dubai in its own right.
