The best cafés to work from in Dubai

“Tucked away inside The Collective by Ripe at The Courtyard – Boston Lane Dubai is the perfect place to spend a productive afternoon.”

“It's the highly-caffeinated, quick-beating heart of the coffee scene with brews on tap. It also serves up some seriously cool dishes for that well-deserved lunch break between emails.”

“An Aussie-inspired café with a welcoming feel, this cool dining destination is idyllic for those who need to catch up on a few emails over a delicious cup of coffee.”

“Its self-named cafe is as bright and airy as you can probably imagine and provides a great environment for those who need to get their creative juices flowing.”

“Julith in Al Quoz, upstairs is filled with a similar crowd and they’ve power sockets mostly in every corner”

“I like cafe Nero (next to Bloomingdale’s) in Dubai mall. Friendly staff, private seating (back facing the wall) and great coffee. WiFi is decent also”

“Offering a variety of high and low tables, shared benches, and meeting/workshop rooms for hire, this is a great flexible working location for digital nomads who want to feel welcome. They also offer plentiful plugs and strong wifi!”

“With comfy seats and floor to ceiling windows, Spill the Bean is a great place to work. There are also lots of plug points, and free Wi-Fi, and the place is usually very quiet”

“Located in JLT, Friends Avenue will have you feeling like you're working from a little cafe in London somewhere. ... so it's a good place to start off your working day.”

“I see lots of people using Costa Coffee building on Al Wasl street as a co-working space, used it myself a few times… Wifi is excellent, there plugs at almost every table. Etc”
