The Good Stuff
Work setup
Remote workers have found enough power outlets per seat, making longer laptop sessions practical.
Distinct design
The setting is repeatedly described as modern and unusual, with sofas, chairs and an indoor terrace-like layout.
French toast
The French toast is mentioned more than once as a particularly successful food choice.
Welcoming service
Several reviews describe attentive, friendly staff and a warm welcome.
Fresh V60
The V60 is praised for its flavour, with fresh beans noted in the same review.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try V60. Ask for the V60 if you want a more distinctive coffee; one review specifically mentions its flavour and fresh beans.
Plan connectivity. For remote work, the power outlets are useful, but bring a backup connection because the Wi-Fi has repeatedly been very slow.
Clarify ordering. If the counter process is unclear, ask the team how to order; one review found the minimalist setup unintuitive.
Order dessert. Add the French toast to your coffee order; it is one of the most consistently praised food items in the reviews.

The Bottom Line
Have Coffee in DIFC suits a coffee break, a chat or a few hours with a laptop. The menu highlights include flat whites, cappuccinos and V60 coffee, while the French toast and tiramisu give the visit a stronger food angle than coffee alone. Several customers also mention matcha and plenty of seating.
The room is a major part of the appeal. Reviews describe a fresh, elegant, modern design with sofas, chairs and an unusual indoor terrace-style arrangement. It is calm enough for conversation, and one work-focused review found enough power outlets per seat.
Ordering at the counter is not especially intuitive for everyone, though, so asking the team for guidance may save a moment of confusion. Quality is not completely consistent. Alongside repeated praise for balanced flat whites, smooth cappuccinos and fresh V60 beans, some visitors received cold, weak or watered-down coffee.
Wi-Fi has also been described as effectively unusable for basic tasks, so remote workers should have a backup connection. Prices can feel high in context: one review cites AED23 for a latte, AED45 for a small New York cheesecake, and 20 dirhams for a small quantity of black coffee.
