The Best Coffee Spots at Dubai Festival City Mall

A trip to the Dubai Festival City Mall isn’t just a chance to experience some of the best shopping and entertainment options in Dubai. It is also a chance for food lovers and coffee aficionados to indulge a little. An entire food hall awaits, with dishes from around the world - and around the corner. If you're craving a cappuccino or long for a latte, here is our quick guide to the best coffee spots at the mall.

International names

As well as independent traders, you will find some of the biggest international names in café culture at Dubai Festival City Mall. Top brands include Costa and Caffè Nero, one of the world's oldest and most established international coffee companies. Serving up everyday favourites and the occasional more indulgent treat, they offer a huge variety of coffees accompanied by delicious, freshly baked pastries for that refuel stop mid-shop.
The major brands also have plenty to offer the coffee connoisseur, with packets of their classic roasted beans for you to recreate your favourite blend at home.

Another big name is the Swedish giant Ikea. Famous for its tasty meatballs, Ikea's café also serves up some seriously good coffee, traditional Scandinavian open sandwiches, and gateaux that are so naughty but so nice.
Ikea only uses UTZ-certified coffee and tea. This internationally recognised label and certification is a seal of approval that ensures your coffee beans have been produced in a socially and environmentally responsible way. So you can be sure that your mid-morning coffee stop isn’t going to cost the Earth.

Something a little different

If you love sweet things and are looking for a whole new coffee experience, why not go Korean? be.k Dessert Café is one of the most popular outlets in Korea and Japan, serving up moreish marvels unlike anything you've ever tasted. We're not talking about ice cream or frozen yoghurt here, so if you're watching your waistline, you can indulge guilt-free with their range of mouth-watering Snowflake desserts. And, of course, they serve amazing coffee, too.

Traditional Arabic treats

Arabic coffee is rich, dark, intense and sweet. To balance the incredible flavours, you need something that complements rather than competes. Our top tip is a trip to the fantastic Café Bateel; here, you'll find Arabian coffee's most natural partner: gourmet dates. Indulge yourself or buy some as a gift for someone special, presented in luxury hand-painted wooden gift boxes.

Artisan chocolate from Belgium

If you've travelled to Europe and acquired a taste for Belgian chocolate, you're in luck at the Dubai Festival City Mall. Godiva has a heritage stretching back nearly 100 years and is famed for creating chocolate masterpieces. Their intensely rich and utterly delicious chocolates are just the thing to elevate a simple latte to a whole new level.

Coffee and chocolate go so well together, so why not combine the two by picking up a bag of your favourite roast beans from Caffè Nero and a hand-picked selection of chocolates from Godiva? Top it off with a sticky cinnamon bun from Cinnabon and you have the ultimate coffee break.
All of these delicious treats are on offer at the Dubai Festival City Mall cafés. Why not treat yourself today and take your coffee experience to the next level?
