Thilo

Well what to say.
A Starbucks with no cups or glasses to dine in. Destroying the environment where it is not necessary is beyond my understanding. Order was sitting a long time on the counter, nobody is bothered to call the name. One drink was missing…. Low performance from the whole team and not an experience according to the Starbucks standards.

A great coffee place with a nice design.
We went there to meet a friend and had some coffee, great selection of all the normal espresso brewed milk specialties but also Chemex, V60 and really nice cold brews!
Mahlkönig and Victoria Arduino grinder along with good scales and and a nice Brewista kettle give all the technical foundation to a good coffee and indeed the roasts are nice as well. Ethiopian and Ugandan coffees were our choices. Both fruity, vibrant and well balanced and the Ugandan bean had a surprising sweetness in the end.

The location is also great, very clean, Scandinavian styling in the middle of hot Dubai.

Clear recommendation

A really nice store with mostly organic options and a good selection of supplements.
Fresh fruits and vegetables unpacked and packed as well as nuts and of course some good sandwiches and take away options are available. On top of the also non organic options.
The staff is always friendly and they really try to make their customers happy.

A nice lake in between the Al Qudra lakes with plenty of birds and also Flamingos. The animals are getting fed and are very close to the visitor. Direct car access is not available, you will have to walk 150-200m.
Absolutely worth visiting and in my opinion way better than Ras Al Khor.
