'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. Coffee lovers will agree.
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. Some elements we looked at while curating this list was checking the quality of the espresso used, the ice to coffee ratio, the value for price, and of course, how cute does the delivery cup look.

7 minimal Bali-inspired cafes & restaurants to visit in Dubai this summer
Dubai may be a glittering metropolis of skyscrapers and desert dunes, but hidden within its urban sprawl are serene, sun-dappled sanctuaries that transport you straight to the breezy, boho-chic shores of Bali. These lush, laid-back havens, where rattan meets raw wood, and tropical foliage spills over every corner – offer more than just a meal; they deliver an escape. From beachfront dining under swaying palms to plant-based paradises tucked into secret gardens, here are the most enchanting Bali-inspired cafés and restaurants to visit in Dubai right now. BohoX View this post on Instagram A post shared by BohoX (@thebohox) For those who believe breakfast should be an all-day affair, BohoX is a dream realized. This airy, contemporary café, bathed in natural light and dotted with earthy textures, brings a slice of Bali's effortless charm to Downtown Dubai. Known for its organic, responsibly sourced ingredients, the menu is a love letter to wholesome indulgence, from handmade pastas to artisanal pizzas. But the true magic lies on its open terrace, where the skyline views rival the flavors on your plate. Whether you're sipping a turmeric latte at sunrise or lingering over dinner under the stars, BohoX is where slow living meets urban sophistication. Downtown Dubai, @thebohox KoKo Bay View this post on Instagram A post shared by KoKo Bay (@kokobayuae) If a barefoot-luxury beach day is what you crave, KoKo Bay delivers, with a side of craft cocktails and Far East–inspired flavors. This breezy, bamboo-clad sanctuary is pure Bali fantasy: think crochet hammocks, cane beach beds, and private cabanas framing uninterrupted views of the Gulf. By day, it's a sun-soaked retreat where you can graze on robata-grilled delicacies; by night, it transforms into a lantern-lit paradise, with the Dubai skyline as your backdrop. The interactive dining experience, complete with a live grill and Asian-European fusion dishes, makes every visit feel like a holiday within a holiday. Pearl Jumeirah, @kokobayuae Andaliman Dubai Step into Andaliman, and you'll forget you're in Dubai, this is Bali, via the bold, aromatic flavors of Indonesia. The restaurant's soulful interiors, draped in lush greenery and rich teakwood, evoke the spirit of a traditional warung (eatery), elevated for the modern gourmand. An open kitchen and coconut-husk grill set the stage for an immersive dining experience, where sambals are prepared tableside and every dish tells a story. By daylight, the space is a sunlit oasis; by evening, it hums with warmth and convivial energy. For a taste of the archipelago's culinary heritage, this is the place. One Za'abeel, @andalimandubai SEVA Table View this post on Instagram A post shared by SEVA Table (@sevatable) A sanctuary for the senses, SEVA Table isn't just Dubai's first 100% plant-based café – it's a verdant escape where wellness and wanderlust collide. Hidden behind a quiet Jumeirah villa, the space feels like a secret garden: stone pathways, reclaimed wood furnishings, and the soothing scent of incense lingering in the air. The menu, a vibrant ode to conscious eating, keeps loyal patrons returning – think nourishing Buddha bowls, raw desserts, and golden lattes served under a canopy of leaves. With mantras humming in the background and a curated selection of books to peruse, SEVA is where time slows down, and every bite feels like self-care. Jumeirah 1, @sevatable Bounty Beets View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bounty Beets (@bountybeets) A celebration of color, community, and clean eating, Bounty Beets brings Bali's farm-to-table ethos to Dubai Marina. The newly renovated garden, a wild, whimsical sprawl of greenery, mud kitchens, and even a dog-friendly play area – feels like a tropical hideaway. The menu, entirely gluten-free and bursting with plant-based creativity, takes inspiration from global flavors, all crafted with locally sourced ingredients. Whether you're here for a turmeric-spiked smoothie or a decadent vegan cheesecake, every dish is as Instagrammable as it is nourishing. Le Méridien Mina Seyahi, @bountybeets The Farm Restaurant Tucked within Al Barari's botanical wonderland, The Farm is Dubai's original green escape – a place where bamboo roofs, lily ponds, and emerald lawns make the desert feel worlds away. The menu, a fusion of European and Thai cuisine, champions seasonal, homegrown produce, from mushroom gratin to fluffy blueberry pancakes. Whether you're lounging on the sun-dappled terrace or wandering through the tropical gardens, this is dining as nature intended: serene, sustainable, and utterly sublime. Al Barari, @thefarm_dubai Comptoir 102 More than a café, Comptoir 102 is a lifestyle – a 70s-Californian-meets-Bali haven where organic eats, curated design, and effortless chic converge. The brainchild of Parisian tastemaker Emma, this Jumeirah gem is part concept store, part wellness café, with a sunlit garden that feels like a friend's private oasis. The menu, entirely organic and gluten-free, is a masterclass in mindful indulgence, while the adjacent boutique offers a treasure trove of global fashion and homeware. For those who believe in living beautifully, this is your new sanctuary. Jumeirah 1, @comptoir102 Dubai's Bali-inspired cafés are more than just pretty backdrops – they're gateways to a slower, sunnier way of life. Whether you're craving a beachfront feast at KoKo Bay or a silent retreat at SEVA Table, these spots prove that paradise is never too far away. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Instagram & Feature image: Pinterest

Jacquemus beckons you to Mykonos for the ultimate fashion-infused summer retreat
As the Mediterranean sun reaches its glory, Jacquemus unveils the season's most coveted fashion destination: a breezy, blue-hued boutique nestled along the powder-white sands of Nammos Beach in Mykonos. More than a mere retail space, this temporary installation—open through summer's end—represents the perfect confluence of high fashion and idyllic escapism, offering travelers a compelling reason to journey to Greece's most glamorous island. The collaboration with legendary beach club Nammos Village positions this pop-up as the centerpiece of Mykonos' summer social scene. Designed as a contemporary take on traditional Greek kiosks, the structure's vibrant azure facade mirrors the Aegean Sea, while inside, an exclusive capsule collection captures the essence of Jacquemus' sun-drenched aesthetic. Lightweight raffia separates, bias-cut silk dresses, and minimalist leather sandals compose a wardrobe made for leisurely lunches at Scorpios and golden-hour cocktails at Alemagou. Each piece serves as both souvenir and sartorial statement—the kind that only gains meaning when worn against Mykonos' iconic backdrop of whitewashed windmills and cobalt-domed chapels. What elevates this experience beyond typical holiday shopping is its deliberate immersion in the Nammos ecosystem. Guests can transition seamlessly from browsing the boutique's curated offerings to securing a coveted daybed at the beach club, where the boundaries between retail therapy and relaxation dissolve. The collection itself—available only at this location—includes special-edition pieces featuring custom Grecian motifs, ensuring visitors return home with more than just memories. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JACQUEMUS (@jacquemus) For the fashion-conscious traveler, this collaboration presents a rare opportunity to align one's itinerary with the industry's most discerning tastes. The boutique operates on island time (daily from 11 AM until sunset), encouraging visitors to embrace the slow rhythm of Greek summer while indulging in retail moments as carefully composed as their Instagram feeds. Practicalities underscore the pop-up's exclusivity: no reservations are required, but Nammos' VIP hosts can arrange private viewings for those who prefer to shop away from the midday crowds. With direct flights from major European hubs and Mykonos' reputation as the summer's most dynamic social stage, Jacquemus' latest venture offers the ultimate justification for a stylish Mediterranean getaway. In a season saturated with pop-ups, this one stands apart for ability to crystallize the very essence of summer longing. After all, true luxury lies in experiences that linger long after the tan fades. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Supplied
