5 of the best dessert cafés in Dubai this summer
There's dessert at the end of dinner. Then there's dessert that's the whole plan, because sometimes dessert just needs its own moment. Cafés and spots built around doing one thing really well: dessert. And yes, there's good coffee too. Here are 5 of the best dessert cafés in Dubai for when you feel like sitting down for something layered, frozen, baked or plated.

Expect perfectly structured entremets, intensely flavoured pistachio sorbets, delicate tarts, and signature millefeuille that's all about balance and technique.
