“We want to do a lot of stuff; we’re not in great shape. We didn’t get a good night’s sleep. We’re a little depressed. Coffee solves all these problems in one delightful little cup.” Comedian Jerry Seinfeld doesn’t hide his love for the caffeine drink, in fact he has even made a highly successful show on Netflix about it – Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. And, It’s not the only show to center around the brew – Joey, Phoebe, Monica, Chandler, Rachel and Ross famously socialized at their favorite coffee house, Central Perk, in Friends. In the real world, more than 400 billion cups are consumed each year globally. There’s no denying, we all love this liquid pick me up. So, in honor of International Coffee Day, we round up the best coffee houses in the UAE.
The Alchemy
The Alchemy Dubai was born out of a passion for coffee. As well as their aesthetically pleasing all-white Scandi-inspired interiors their USP is their beans, sourced from ethical single farms.

But don’t just come for the ‘gram likes, Tania’s handmade signature teas and coffees and cakes are worthy in themselves. The teahouse also doubles up as a quaint shop, selling mugs, tote bags and T-shirts.
%Arabica
