The Ultimate Third-Wave Coffee Guide to Dubai

Field Guide No. 01 — twenty cafés, twelve roasters, four crawls. A 19-page guide to Dubai's specialty-coffee scene, from the Al Quoz roastery belt (Julith, RAW, Cypher, Grandmother, Nightjar) to Kurasu, The Barn, Subko, Mokha 1450 and beyond. Every entry gives you the area, what the café is best for, the exact drink to order, and what to know before you go — plus suggested crawls, the top UAE roasters, how to order like a professional, and practical advice for coffee in Dubai. Current as of August 2026.
