2 Wild &the Moon

A laidback hub that attracts creative sorts in Alserkal Avenue, Wild & the Moon specialises in raw, earth-to-table cuisine. That same philosophy extends to the split-level cafe’s coffee menu too. The baristas here are well-experienced in whipping up the perfect dairy-free latte, using blends of organic free-trade beans and housemade vegan 'mylk'. Those after a little less caffeine are also catered for, with matcha, chai, lavender and charcoal lattes popular throughout the day’s trade.

3 The Espresso Lab

You'll find this minimalistic coffee house in the heart of Dubai Design District (d3). As the name implies, you won't just find simple coffee here. As well as expertly-roasted cups of joe, The Espresso Lab specialises in more experimental brews including a three-way iced coffee with foamed milk, cold drip blends and The Catalyst, their signature orange citrus-infused espresso. Don't forget to try their acclaimed gahwa (Arabic coffee) – the team spent nearly a year designing and developing the official UAE gahwa roast guide and flavour chart dedicated to the art.

4 Jones the Grocer

With several locations across the city, Jones the Grocer taps into the gourmet side of cafe dining. At the cafe's Emirates Golf Club venue, you can take a seat on the outdoor terrace with views of the greens, while the Sheikh Zayed Road location is popular with families. Wherever you go, the coffee relies on both classics such as espresso and aeropress, and the more experimental nitro done well, with seasonal single origin beans. While lunch and dinner are also on offer, it’s the breakfast menu that sees Jones full every weekend, with favourites such as smashed avocado, king prawn eggs Florentine, and brioche French toast.

5 Friends Avenue

A pair of young friends put their heads together and came up with this quirky little cafe located in the high-rise Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) neighbourhood. Decorated with greenery, brightly-painted furniture, colourful plates and other homely touches, this family-friendly local spot has a lot of personality. Since then, two more outposts of the cafe have opened in Al Thanyah and Motor City, each filled with a very loyal clientele, sipping on a long black or an espresso con panna, with dairy, almond or soy milk. Ask for the barista’s special teddy bear latte art – a favourite on the cafe’s social media accounts.
