“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.
