The Good Stuff
Strong matcha
One reviewer described the matcha as creamy, smooth and balanced rather than overly sweet.
Black coffee
Pour-overs and batch brew are specifically praised, giving black-coffee drinkers more to explore than milk-based drinks.
Fresh food
The pesto chicken sandwich, salads and pastries all receive specific praise for flavour and freshness.
Own-cup option
The shop fills drinks in customers’ own cups, a useful option for reducing disposable-cup use.
Relaxed setting
Reviews describe a warm, comfortable atmosphere suited to relaxing, reading, working or meeting friends.
Tips for a Better Visit
Order ahead. Download the app and place your order before arriving if you want a fast pickup.
Adjust matcha. If the matcha tastes watery, ask for more flavour; one reviewer says the request was handled readily.
Check temperature. If ordering extra hot, confirm the temperature before leaving, as one review reported a lukewarm cup.
Bring a cup. Bring your own cup if you prefer it; reviews say the shop can fill it for you.

The Bottom Line
Drinkit is a coffee shop in Downtown Dubai where the main draw is choice: you can customise a drink and order through the app before arriving. Reviews make the matcha a standout, with one customer describing it as creamy, smooth and just the right sweetness. Coffee fans can also order black coffee, including pour-overs and batch brew, while the iced Spanish Latte and cheese foam coffees offer richer alternatives.
There is more than coffee on the counter. Customers mention the pesto chicken sandwich, fresh pastries and croissants, as well as Caesar, Greek and Pesto salads. The lemon tart latte is an unusual dessert-like choice, while the raspberry cream foam latte and Bumble coffee appeal to anyone looking beyond standard café drinks.
The app supports quick pickup, and the shop can fill drinks in your own cup. The setting is described as warm, comfortable and suitable for reading, working or meeting friends. A couple of cautions are worth keeping in mind: one reviewer received an extra-hot coffee lukewarm, and found the cheese foam too sweet.
Another noticed that the lemon tart coffee tasted different from versions at other branches. If your matcha seems watery, ask whether it can be made more flavourful.
