The Good Stuff
Healthy choices
The menu includes healthy sandwiches, salads and drinks, with calories listed to help you choose.
Coffee quality
Coffee gets strong marks, from a well-made cappuccino to an outstanding coffee mentioned by repeat visitors.
Kind staff
Several reviews describe staff as friendly and helpful, including recommendations tailored to customers’ drink preferences.
Lively setting
The modern, energetic atmosphere suits relaxing and socialising, though the music can change how practical it is for meetings.
Clean outlet
One reviewer specifically praised the cleanliness alongside the atmosphere and consistent food quality.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check extras. Confirm whether avocado or other add-ons cost extra before paying; one guest reported an additional AED24.
Avoid peak times. Arrive outside busy periods if you want a seat: one reviewer found no empty space, while another said the café was full on a weekday.
Try tuna. The spicy tuna is a well-reviewed choice, but skip the Tunacado if you dislike seafood because its fish flavour is noticeable.
Expect paper cups. If presentation matters for coffee, note that one customer said coffee is served only in paper cups.
Choose quieter visits. For a business meeting, consider another setting or a quieter time, since the music has been described as too loud.

The Bottom Line
Joe & The Juice at Mall of the Emirates in Al Barsha is geared towards a quick breakfast, lunch or shopping break. You can order fresh juices, smoothies, coffee and light meals, with sandwiches drawing the most attention. The Tunacado combines avocado, tuna mousse and thin, crispy bread; spicy tuna, turkey and Bresaola are also recurring favourites.
The healthy angle is practical rather than vague: a review praises the variety of sandwiches, salads and drinks, with calories shown on the menu. Coffee is another reason regulars return, while the Power Shake and vanilla matcha are popular drink choices. Staff are often described as friendly, helpful and energetic, and one manager adjusted a matcha after explaining the options.
It is a lively, modern place with music and an appealing interior, but that atmosphere has trade-offs. The café can be full, seating is limited, and the music may be too loud for business meetings. Service is inconsistent in the reviews: some customers report fast orders, while others experienced incorrect orders or waits behind later arrivals.
Check the price of extras such as avocado before paying, and note that coffee may come only in a paper cup.
