Joud Coffee launched in Al Bateen in 2015. It’s aim? To serve specialty coffee in stylish settings. Now one of 14 outposts, Khalifa City is the ultimate refinement of the concept. It is simplicity from the outset; a black logo on the stark white exterior is the only indication of the sociable oasis inside. Each Joud is designed with flair and Khalifa City’s airy mezzanine and discreet internal courtyard are a triumph. In the evenings, low lighting, even lower lounge seating and abundant palms add to the atmosphere. Join the locals in sipping refreshing hibiscus iced teas and small-batch espresso from beans that were prepared in the brand’s roastery.
