It’s hotting up in the city and one place you know you will be cool, calm and collected is the mall.
Loads of space to walk and (shop) means it is one of the only places you can don your athleisure and up your step count without melting during the hot summer months.
After walking around and maybe dropping some dirhams on new ‘fits (that you may, or may not, have needed) you’ll be in dire need of a refuel or if you need somewhere to meet with the girlies for a catch-up and coffee here’s where to go when swinging by Mall of the Emirates.
Ralph’s Coffee
PSA: Ralph Lauren opened a coffee shop in Mall of the Emirates at the start of the year (at last). The American fashion house’s famed coffee shop’s first branch in the Middle East can be found shop next to the POLO Ralph Lauren shop in the Mall of the Emirates and serves great cups of caffeine. The food selection is small but you can pick up a panini or pastry.
📍Level 1, Mall of the Emirates.

L’ETO Caffe
This London export is perfect when there are a few of you all in the mood for something different to dine on as you chat away. Serving cakes, pastries, breads, salads and mains. Thus all-day spot doesn’t disappoint.

Cipriani Dolci
All the way from Venice, this renowned brand has a venue in Mall of the Emirates. Check out the breakfast menu, tramezzini, pastries, desserts and hot drinks, ofc. It’s open concept on the ground floor also makes it a good choice if you love people watching.

The Lighthouse
With a Mediterranean-inspired menu, The Lighthouse has loads of yummy choices for breakfast, lunch or dinner this is an easy option for a mall day out. With a terrace overlooking the mall’s iconic glass dome, you may not be outside but it’s a bright and sunny setting (great for those IG snaps).

Bread Ahead
Ok, so not the most varied menu is available here, but hear us out all all things doughy feature. We’re talking doughnuts to pizza to sandwiches and bagels (all the best carbs in our opinion). Hands down the best spot for goey-filled doughnuts in the mall we stan a trip to Bread Ahead every time.
