This city is so obsessed with caffeine that there are even full on coffee and matcha parties, where you listen to the hottest tracks and sip an iced latte of your choice.

Ready to try something new? Check out some of the coolest options below.
The coolest ways to drink caffeine in Dubai
Matcha Coconut Cloud at Boston Lane
Dubai's obsession with matcha is well-founded, we think. So when you're looking for your next matcha, don't do basic. Get the matcha coconut cloud at this Australian café in Al Quoz. While the alfresco seating is lovely and green, the inside is equally interesting, with cute areca palms and merchandise lining the walls.
Pink and white hues, high ceilings and lots of greenery lend the space an airy, spacious and summery feel.
The drink's base is coconut water, the foam on top is matcha whipped with coconut milk cream. Delicious.
Dhs32. Open daily 7.30am-7pm. Al Quoz, Dubai, bostonlane.com (050 627 4799).
Iced Dirty Chai at Café Kitsune
This aesthetic French-Japanese café from Tokyo offers some seriously good coffee. Having been in the industry for more than a decade in France, Korea, New York, China, Thailand and other locations around the world, the brand knows what we want.
And that's an iced dirty chai, basically tea with a splash of coffee. Weird? Yes. Should you try it? Absolutely yes.
Dhs38. Open Sun-Thu 8am-11pm; Fri-Sat 8am-midnight. Al Wasl Road, Al Safa, @cafekitsune.uae (050 730 3622).
Collagen Latte – Maison Cha Cha
Next time you're craving your caffeine intake, why not replace it with something your body will thank you for?
Try this super healthy collagen latte – made with collagen powder, coconut milk powder, maquiberries, vanilla and full-fat milk. Of course, if you can't stomach lactose, feel free to replace it with plenty of other alternatives here.
Dhs40. Open Sun-Thu 8am-10pm; Fri-Sat 8am-11pm. Emaar Boulevard, Downtown Dubai, maisonchacha.com (055 478 5114).
Get the Glow – Maison Cha Cha
This is a really cool matcha that we can get behind. If you're looking for a green tea drink that doesn't come with the aftertaste, you should try this mix. It's matcha with taro, blue spirulina, tocos, vanilla and oat milk, sweetened by agave.
This lovely chilled drink is the perfect way to cool down this summer, and what better way to do it than at NYC-inspired matcha bar, Maison Cha Cha.
The all day cafe serves up traditional matcha favourites, creative lattes and fun drinks.
Dhs45. Open Sun-Thu 8am-10pm; Fri-Sat 8am-11pm. Emaar Boulevard, Downtown Dubai, maisonchacha.com (055 478 5114).
Cocoa Orange Masala Tea at Avantcha
Love Jaffa Cakes? Here's a tea that you can sip on to get a flavour of the childhood favourite. While orange and chocolate combo is not everyone's cup of tea, its subtle flavours might just make you a fan.
It's basically dried orange peel blended with traditional spices and cocoa cores, so don't worry about the flavours being too strong.
Avantcha is a new tea bar in Al Quoz that offers over 150 varieties of tea with unique ingredients like chilli, caramel, honeybush and more.
While the café where you can enjoy the tea is by none other than chef Reif Othman. Expect matcha drinks, iced teas and tea-infused desserts and pastries here.
Dhs20. Open Mon-Sat 10am-6pm. Kunooz 6th street, Warehouse 19 Al Manara St, Al Quoz 1, avantcha.com (04 338 9114).
Sourdough affogato at bkry
Yes, it's exactly what its namesake says it is. The ice cream is infused with the flavour of toasted sourdough mixed with molasses, brown sugar and milk. Plus the touch of espresso and cocoa nibs offers a layered taste.
It's not a combination we've ever heard of, which means, it's on our wish list. Will it be on yours?
Dhs27. Open daily from 8am-10pm. Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz, @bkry.space. (04 832 2433).
Golden Turmeric drink at Boston Lane
Some days we want a drink that makes us feel good both inside and out. That's what the golden turmeric latte is for.
This anti-inflammatory latte, filled with loads of antioxidants, is perfect for the health-conscious. Have it iced to brave the beautiful sunny weather – we can't think of a better way to kick off the day.
Dhs29. Open daily 7.30am-7pm. Al Quoz, Dubai, bostonlane.com. (050 627 4799).

Child, 4, dies on Italy holiday as heatwave sweeps Europe sparking wildfires
The boy, just four, from Romania was on holiday with his parents in Sardinia when he was discovered unconscious in the family car - he suffered fatal brain damage A young boy has died from heatstroke in Italy amid a deadly European heatwave as wildfires in Spain threaten a UNESCO site and French cities hit record temperatures. The four-year-old Romanian boy was on holiday with his parents in Olmedo in the northwest of Sardinia. It is thought that the child left the house they were staying at before they realised he was missing earlier today. His devastated parents found him unconscious in the family car, and he was then airlifted to hospital in Rome but sadly died of irreversible brain damage, the hospital confirmed. It comes after heatwave forecast with maps revealed the exact date a 39C heat plume will scorch the UK. The scorching summer this year is causing havoc across the continent, with Italy issuing a red alert warning for seven cities, including Bologna and Florence. Almost 200 firefighters are tackling a fire on Mount Vesuvius as its national park was to closed to the public. Spain has also been forced to endure a heatwave over the past week as temperatures hit close to 40C. On Sunday, a wildfire damaged a UNESCO Roman-era mining site at Les Medulas in the north west of the country and forced hundreds of residents to evacuate. Winds of up to 25mph caused "many difficulties" for firefighters attempting to contain the blaze, according to Juan Carlos Suarez-Quinones, the Castile and Leon regional environment minister. He added: "We will not allow people to return until safety in their communities is absolutely guaranteed." Four people, including two firefighters, suffered minor injuries in the fires. While in the southern town of Tarifa, more than 2,000 people were evacuated, including from hotels and beaches, when a fire flared up again after it was thought to be contained on Friday. Elsewhere on the Iberian peninsula, firefighters battled three massive wildfires in the centre of Portugal, including near Trancoso. It is understood that Morocco is sending a couple of planes to help tackle the blaze after two Portuguese aircrafts broke down. Meanwhile in France, a woman died last Tuesday in the densely wooded Aude region, where the fire broke out in the village of Ribaute. Around 1,800 firefighters were deployed and 1,500 of them worked through the night to hold the flames back. Record temperatures have also been set in at least four weather stations in southern France as the country's second heatwave of the year began. Bordeaux reached an all-time high of 41.6C as records were also broken in Bergerac, Cognac and Saint Girons, according to Meteo France. A total of 12 French departments issued a red alert on Monday, the country's highest heat warning, and four more are expected on Tuesday. In Albania, almost 40 fires were sparked in the past day alone as firefighters and soldiers have been fighting to put them out. The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) estimated that almost 84,000 acres have been scorched across the Balkan country since the beginning of July. Police have claimed that many were caused by arson and more than 20 people have been arrested in connection with them over the past few weeks. Just outside Montenegro's capital of Podgorica, dozens of homes were saved by firefighters after a blaze broke out on inaccessible terrain, as temperatures hit 40C. In nearby Croatia, approximately 150 firefighters spent all night protecting homes from a fire near the port city of Split. While Turkey is experiencing its hottest July since records began 55 years ago. In the northwestern province of Canakkale, more than 2,000 people were evacuated and 77 people needed hospital treatment for smoke inhalation following multiple fires around the tourist village of Guzelyali. At least 760 firefighters were dispatched to combat the blazes. Akshay Deoras, a research scientist at the meteorology department in the University of Reading, told AFP: "The heatwave currently affecting France, Spain, and the Balkan countries is not surprising. It is driven by a persistent heat dome over Europe. Heatwaves don't roar like storms - they creep in quietly, but can be just as deadly."

Timothée Chalamet snubs Kylie Jenner's birthday amid split rumours
Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet marked Kylie Jenner's 28th birthday with a cryptic Instagram post and it has sparked fresh speculation about their relationship. Fresh split rumours have been circulating regarding the relationship between Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner after the Hollywood actor snubbed her birthday. The famous Kardashian was celebrating her 28th birthday with a glam party and family but Timothée was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the 29-year-old posted a picture from a historic boxing match showing Muhammad Ali celebrating victory, overlaid with the words 'Dream Big' in red, handwritten-style lettering instead of wishing his girlfriend a happy birthday. The American-French actors cryptic post has now added fuel to fire as fans fear that Kylie and Timothee have officially broken up, reports the Mirror. Timothée and Kylie were first linked in April 2023 after reports surfaced that they had been spending time together. They made their first public appearance as a couple in September that year at Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour in Los Angeles, where they were snapped kissing and laughing together in the VIP section. Since then, the couple have kept their relationship relatively low-key, occasionally being photographed on outings but avoiding public commentary about one another. Over the past month, fans have noted the absence of any new images of the pair together, with Kylie also posting a series of Instagram Stories featuring sad song lyrics which have further fuelled rumours of a split. The timing and content of Timothée's post on Kylie's birthday left many fans baffled as some believe the 'Dream Big' message may be a subtle reference to his upcoming film Marty Supreme, due for release on Christmas Day. While Timothée decided to publicly snub Kylie's birthday, her famous family marked her big day with their annual warm and emotional posts. Kylie's mum, Kris Jenner shared a carousel of throwback images of her youngest daughter as she wrote: 'Happy birthday to my baby girl!! You are truly beautiful inside and out… You are so smart, strong, creative, loving, kind, funny, and always so supportive… I love you beyond measure… Mommy.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner shared childhood photos alongside the caption 'my little lady forever,' to which Kylie responded: 'kendall jenner !!!!' Khloé Kardashian posted a montage of photos and a video of Kylie holding a cake at what appeared to be a Saturday night birthday gathering. Khloe, 41, captioned it: "Forever and then some, I love you to the moon and back. Happy birthday my girl… My soulmate sister… I love you beyond words, always and forever. With all my heart, Your second mommy, Khloé.' Kourtney Kardashian posted: "Tinker Bell! May you shine forever my little goose sister.' While Kim wrote: 'Kylie's day! Happy Birthday to the goat." The birthday girl also shared her own post, uploading childhood snaps including one where she sits proudly with her first bicycle, captioning it: 'happy birthday to meeee.' The Mirror has approached Timothee and Kylie's representatives for comment on this story.
