Eighteen specialty coffee cafés in Dubai's warehouse district, where the city's roasters set up shop. Ranked live, from BOCASU to RAW.
Al Quoz is where Dubai's roasters set up shop. The warehouses give coffee people what Jumeirah villas can't, space for a roaster, a bakery and a bar under one roof, and eighteen specialty cafés on our index now cluster between Alserkal Avenue and the industrial blocks around it. Fewer rooms than Jumeirah, more coffee per square metre.
BOCASU leads at a perfect 5.0, Japanese café calm with specialty coffee and sushi. Harvest & Co. follows on 4.9 from over 9,600 reviews, Ferment Journey pairs its bar with exhibition space, and Laughing Bread pulls shots next to its bread ovens. Cup is a coffee shop and co-working space in one. Then the roasters: RAW Coffee Company sources ethically and roasts in-house, Grandmother Coffee Roastery handles every step from cherry to bag, and Earth Roastery and Nightjar complete the district's roasting row. All eighteen below.
