Famous for its towering skyscrapers, tech-driven cars, admiringly beautiful vast beaches, and the scorching Middle East heat, you cannot just come to Dubai and not sit in a coffee shop to rest for a while. The history of coffee exudes a tint of vanilla and chocolate which leads to the Coffee Museum dedicated only to the love of these cocoa beans. Be it while traveling or when caught up in meetings, a coffee hub is the right place for every follower of this aromatic cult brew. So that’s why we at Vigor Travels are here to signal out the 10 best coffee shops in Dubai for the cuppa-lovers in Dubai looking for a rest ‘n’ chill spot.
1. Dubai Coffee Museum
The most talked about coffee hub, the Coffee Museum, hosts the history, geography, chemistry, and biology of these coffee beans. The evolution of cocoa and the subsequent refining and blending of it into coffee is an interesting piece to watch. The museum shop sells antiques related to the story of coffee and a live demonstration of the different brewing and blending methods is showcased for the audience. The visit to the museum is a journey all together which should be on a must-do list for all the coffee-lovers.
