The Good Stuff
Spacious Setting
High ceilings and generous space between tables make the cafe more comfortable for relaxing or working than a cramped mall coffee shop.
Breakfast Quality
Breakfast is a strong choice, with reviews praising the eggs Benedict, big breakfast and fresh ingredients in sandwiches.
Helpful Service
Many customers describe the service as warm, attentive and accommodating, especially during repeat morning visits.
Relaxed Atmosphere
Jazz music, a calm mood and a comfortable layout make it appealing for unwinding, meetups or getting some work done.
Reasonable Value
One regular customer found the coffee reasonably priced compared with the nearby cafe across the way, which was said to cost around 50% more.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Weekdays. For a quieter stop, consider a weekday visit; one customer found it peaceful then, though another said the cafe can get busy and loud.
Check Prices. Before ordering, ask staff to confirm current prices, since one review reported a difference between the menu and the final bill.
Check Availability. Ask whether avocado-toast ingredients are available before settling on that dish; a customer could not order it because some ingredients were unavailable.
Allow Time. If service seems slow, follow up rather than waiting indefinitely: one customer said a menu was left without anyone returning to take the order.
Work Carefully. The spacious layout can suit laptop work, but choose a quieter period because the meetup spot was also described as busy and loud.

The Bottom Line
Jamaica Blue at Al Ghurair Centre is a specialty coffee shop in Deira where you can settle in for coffee, breakfast, lunch or a dessert break. The smoked salmon avocado smash, eggs Benedict, matcha and baked cheesecake are among the more useful named choices in the reviews. Coffee is the main draw: customers describe it as smooth, aromatic and consistently well made, with cappuccino, flat white and iced mocha all receiving positive mentions.
The cafe’s spacious, high-ceilinged layout leaves more room between tables than some mall cafes, making it workable for a laptop session, a regular meetup or a slow coffee. Jazz music and a generally calm atmosphere add to the appeal, although another customer found it busy and loud at times. Weekdays may be the better bet if you want more peace and quiet.
Service is often warm and accommodating, but it is not completely consistent. Reviews also mention menus left unattended, waits of almost an hour, occasional rude counter interactions and a bill that did not match the menu price. Check current prices and ingredient availability before ordering.
The Roast Beef Melt was tasty but criticised for having too little beef, while one avocado-toast order was disappointing, so expectations may depend on the dish and visit.
