    The ultimate guide for the best iced coffee spots in Dubai for your morning caffeine run

    Life

    27 seconds ago

    “This is a jumbo-coffee morning. I need coffee in an IV.” — Lorelai Gilmore
    This quote resonates with people who work 9-5 on most mornings. How else is one supposed to get through the eight hours of a work day? With a morning shot of caffeine, that’s how.
    With the UAE weather making it almost impossible to enjoy a hot cappucino or americano in the AM, it’s iced-coffee-to-the-rescue season. Plus, it almost feels like a treat you’re buying for yourself as a reward for adulting in this prickly heat.
    When it comes to iced coffees, not every place can make the cut. It has to be the perfect decoction of the espresso shot, milk of choice, ice and flavouring — no element can overpower the other. Coffee lovers will agree.
    After trying and testing a couple of popular joints in Dubai, we’ve curated a list of the best iced coffee spots that you can pit stop at before head to work. Some elements we looked at while curating this list was checking the quality of the espresso used, the ice to coffee ratio, the value for price, and of course, how cute does the delivery cup look.
    Olab Coffee Shope

    Where: The Walk, JBR and Motor City
    What to try: Iced Salted Caramel Latte
    The Grey

    Where:  Al Wasl – Al Safa 1 – Dubai

    Here’s everything you need to know…
    Desert pop-ups are one of the wonderful perks of UAE winters. Set against the backdrop of the golden dunes, these desert cafes are the perfect spots to relax and unwind alfresco while sipping a warming hot chocolate or creamy coffee.
    And this Ramadan, Dubai’s dazzling Sadeem café, a sparkling blue-hued spot in the Al Marmoon desert, has gotten a high-fashion glow up in collaboration with Louis Vuitton – and you can now visit this exclusive Louis Vuitton desert cafe.
    The limited-time collaboration will see Louis Vuitton take over Sadeem for the next two weeks, bringing the Maison’s unmissable emblems and high-fashion touches to cushions, coffee cups and even games. It’s open daily from 8.30pm until 1am.

    Owing to the exclusivity of this collab, reservations are essential. According to the online booking system, reservations are available until Monday March 31 for both the plush sofas and dining areas, and can be made for a minimum of two guests.
    It’s Dhs400 per person, redeemable on food and drinks once you get to the cafe. You can make reservations here: Book now
    The pop-up fashion cafe marks the arrival of the LV Mirage 2025 collection, shot in the Dubai desert. Designed as an opulent homage to tradition, craftsmanship, and timeless sophistication, the capsule collection was first unveiled last month.
    To reach Sadeem x Louis Vuitton, you’ll need to drive around 40 minutes out of the city. Handily, there’s a location pin for Sadeem cafe in Google Maps to guide you.
    While in the area, if you’re looking for more desert pop-ups, you’ll also find an open-air – and oh-so-Instagrammable branch of another of our favourite cafes, Parker’s.
