    “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.
    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.

    IN PARTNERSHIP: There’s no dearth of delectable eateries in Dubai, the latest to join the list is BohoX—a homegrown cafe centrally located on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard.

    Rooted within the foundation of community and creativity—the two-storey cafe boasts a modern and welcoming aesthetic. The interiors are infused with botanical energy, featuring verdant plants that will make for the perfect Instagram backdrop. With an earthy palette, natural elements and wooden interiors, the BohoX cafe is a little oasis in the bustling city. Offering both indoor and al fresco dining options, diners get to enjoy their preferred seating arrangements according to the weather.

    The expansive breakfast, lunch and dinner menu at BohoX has something for everyone. Even for those who are always on the hunt for something clean, there’s a variety of vegan and healthy dishes, which includes nutritious salads and detox juices. To satiate your mid-meal hunger, you can also treat yourself to their in-house, freshly baked pastries and cakes.

    In an attempt to support the local artisans, the whole menu is crafted from locally sourced ingredients. The coffee culture at BohoX, especially champions this ideology—each time you get your coffee fix, you will be supporting the local roasters who source their beans directly from the farmers.
