Harper’s Bazaar Cafe

Fresh coffee

Located in Dubai Design District – d3, this is the world’s first Harper’s Bazaar Cafe. The cafe’s design was inspired by the iconic fashion magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, making it an embodiment of fashion and style. Seeing that the cafe is located in one of the trendiest areas in town, this is a place to sip coffee and enjoy cosmopolitan dishes after checking out fashion and design shops and pop-ups around the neighborhood. This is a favorite to Dubai influencers, so visitors may rub shoulders with some one the most ‘Insta-famous’ people in town.

Culinary Boutique

This trendy cafe is every foodie’s favorite spot in town. Culinary Boutique doesn’t only cater to people who love eating, but also those who want to learn more about cooking. The cafe has a minimalist and contemporary decor, creating the perfect environment to hang out with friends or hold business meetings. What makes this space stand out is its culinary school, allowing cooking enthusiasts to learn about what they are eating. Located in the heart of Jumeirah, Culinary Boutique is the perfect spot to wash the day away after a shopping spree at Sunset Mall.

Parker’s

What is better than a cafe inside the biggest shopping mall in the world? Shoppers don’t have to wander very far after a hardcore session of window shopping at The Dubai Mall in order to grab good coffee. What makes Parker’s all the more special is that diners can only come into this secret location if they are in possession of a golden key. These keys can be found in several different places in town depending on the cafe’s announcements. Exclusive and delicious, all any visitor could ask for.

The Hamptons Cafe

The Hamptons Cafe is a short walk from Kite Beach and offers coffee drinkers the full elegant coastal experience. The cafe honors its namesake and makes visitors feel like they have entered the chic environment of the Hamptons. The Hamptons Cafe is full of greenery and has class ceilings, allowing diners a beautiful view of Jumeirah Beach Road. This is a fantastic place to watch the sunset while sipping on coffee and watching the latest Dubai fashion on the cafe’s stylish goers.

The Sum of Us

Tucked away in Dubai’s bustling Trade Center district, The Sum of Us is a hip and vibrant cafe that combines a passion for coffee with exceptional culinary delights. Step into the rustic yet stylish interior, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air. Indulge in their specialty coffees sourced from around the world, complemented by a menu that features farm-to-table dishes, artisanal bread, and scrumptious pastries.
