A Cruise Inside Dubai's Hottest Car & Motorcycle Cafés
Dubai hasn't forgotten its road warriors—the city's now full of pit stops made for your road-tripping soul. So hit the road, but don't forget to come back. These spots are worth it. Under the blazing Dubai sun, a break is non-negotiable. Whether you're biking with the heat beating down on your helmet (and your head), or stuck in traffic behind the wheel, your instincts know it's time to cool off. A quick drink? A laid-back brunch with the squad? Or maybe a dinner that ends in a glorious food coma? Whatever your style, a pit stop is a must. Luckily, Dubai hasn't forgotten its road warriors. Right in the heart of the UAE, there are now go-to spots made for your road-tripping soul. So yes, hit the road, Jack—but this time, make sure you come back. These places are worth it. DRVN by Porsche 📍 Bluewaters Island 🕒 8 AM to 2 AM You're getting the recipe straight from the chef himself—and it's called DRVN, by Porsche. What's on the table? Coffee, dinner, and a side of horsepower. DRVN is a restaurant—let's not pretend it's something it's not. But while you eat, you're surrounded by a lineup of rare, classic Porsche cars just casually flexing in the background. If you're one of those people who need something to look at while you chew, don't worry—DRVN's got your visual cravings covered. Bikers Cafe 📍 Jumeirah Beach Road 🕒 8 AM to 2 AM Its name says it all—a bike-themed café, the first of its kind in the Emirates. But beyond that, it serves a diverse menu, from traditional Emirati breakfasts to Mexican salads and burgers. And don't worry, it's family-friendly—so feel free to bring the kids along! 6.8 Cafe 📍 Al Quoz 🕒 8 AM to 10PM Vintage rides and retro vibes collide at 6.8 Cafe in Al Quoz. It's packed with classic cars you rarely see off a screen—and they're just chilling next to your table. You'll find a menu that goes global (American, Turkish, Arabic), and a boutique stocked with car-branded goodies. Nostalgia? Served daily. Cafe Rider Custom 📍 Al Quoz 🕒 8 AM to 7PM Coffee, leather jackets, and custom bikes—Cafe Rider Custom is where it all meets. Whether you're here to build your own ride or bring one in for repairs, you'll be welcomed with a bold cup of Colombian coffee that hits as hard as the engines around you. The café also stocks motorcycle gear, branded merchandise, accessories, and even brewing equipment. It's a haven where caffeine addicts and motorcycle lovers find common ground like two sides of the same coin—or should we say two cylinders of the same engine? Mille Miglia Gallery and Cafe 📍 Al Quoz 🕒 10 AM to 9PM If you count down to every Grand Prix like it's race day in Monaco, this spot is made for you. Mille Miglia Gallery and Café in Al Quoz is loaded with F1 memorabilia, sleek Ferraris, and signed gear from current stars Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc. And when it's time to cool down—we know the pressure's high—you'll find iced drinks, sweet treats, and plenty of coffee on deck. The Cars Cafe 📍 Dubai Autodrome 🕒 8AM to 8:30PM Coffee and breakfast? Souvenirs and gifts? Luxury car and bike wash? Formula 1 live streaming? This place checks every box—the ultimate hangout for road riders and motorsport lovers. Oh, and they've got something seriously cool on display: the legendary 1953 Porsche 356 'Pre-A' 1500 Super. It raced in the iconic Carrera Panamericana, driven solo by Guatemalan coffee mogul Manfredo Lippmann. He didn't finish the race, but his car was part of Porsche's first major victory in the Western Hemisphere. So yeah—you're literally dining next to history. Literally.
