The Good Stuff
Coffee Quality
Reviews consistently describe smooth, well-prepared coffee, including Americanos, cappuccino, Spanish latte and iced options.
Gelato Standout
The Emirati coffee gelato and authentic Italian gelato are repeatedly singled out as memorable dessert choices.
Generous Portions
Several dishes are described as hearty or large; one reviewer said the pasta was almost enough for two people.
Calm Setting
The creekside seating offers a quieter break from the souq, especially in the evening and during cooler weather.
Friendly Service
Many reviews mention approachable, attentive staff and quick service, although experiences are not completely consistent.
Fresh Breakfast
Breakfast reviews highlight generous portions and dishes including shakshouka, Eggs Benedict and a breakfast platter.
Tips for a Better Visit
Find Carefully. Look between the souvenir shops and along the souq’s bylanes; the cafe is easy to miss.
Choose Outdoors. For the signature experience, ask for a table by the water so you can watch the abras more clearly.
Visit Winter. Outdoor seating is most comfortable in cooler weather; one review specifically recommends it in winter rather than summer.
Allow For Parking. Leave extra time to find parking nearby, as multiple visitors describe parking around the area as challenging.
Try Gelato. Save room for the Emirati coffee gelato, which one reviewer rated highly enough to finish before taking photos.
Expect Boats. The waterfront is peaceful but not silent: boat taxis can make the outdoor area noisy at times.

The Bottom Line
MAZMi Coffee & More is a creekside cafe in Bur Dubai’s Old Souq, valued less as a quick coffee counter than as a place to pause beside the water. You can order breakfast dishes such as shakshouka or Eggs Benedict, then watch abras cross the creek from the outdoor seating. Sunset, birds and old-city views are the draw.
Coffee is a dependable choice in the reviews, with Spanish latte, cappuccino, Americanos and iced options all receiving positive mentions. The Emirati coffee gelato is a particularly distinctive dessert, while the Italian gelato, fresh lemonade, banana cake and affogato give you reasons to stay beyond breakfast. Portions can be generous: one pasta serving was described as nearly enough for two.
The cafe is tucked between souvenir shops, so it may take a little searching to find. Parking is difficult nearby, and indoor seating is limited on hot days. Outdoor visits are more comfortable in winter, though passing boat taxis can be noisy and a few older reviews mention flies.
Service is usually described as friendly and quick, but some guests experienced poor or rude service. Come primarily for the waterfront setting, and treat the food and coffee as worthwhile companions.
