We Went To Mama'esh!Jan.3.2020
With the rise of the coffee culture – especially here in the region most recently – I find myself completely intrigued and curious as to how this trend all of a sudden made a boom. Starbucks? Oh how dare you! Caribou, who? Mainstream coffee franchises have all of a sudden become completely passé, where if I go back just a couple of years, holding a venti Starbucks cup was the IT accessory.
Today, the cool factor is all about your Cold Drip from Frame, beans from Seven Fortunes and coffee meetings at Arabica. Want to jump on the specialty coffee band wagon? Check out these 10 super cool new(ish) coffee spots in Dubai, and explore their interesting menus!
Tucked away in Al Quoz is RAW Coffee Company that prides itself in fair trade, 100% organic coffee. Homegrown concept RAW sources premium green beans from around the world, and then are all roasted in small batches. Some cool facts about RAW? You can order a subscription and get coffee delivered to you regularly, their Al Qouz warehouse also serves great coffee and a cool place to work from if you have a desk-less job.
