The Good Stuff
Rotating Cars
Cars from the owner’s private collection are rotated, with one review noting changes every couple of months.
Pitwall Display
The venue includes a pitwall and a real pit-stop display, giving the motorsport theme more substance than simple café décor.
Good Coffee
Reviews specifically praise the cappuccino, espresso, Spanish latte and other coffee drinks.
Quiet Setting
The small venue was described as quiet and not overcrowded, making it comfortable for lingering and talking.
Helpful Explanations
Staff have been praised for explaining the gallery’s backstory, the owner’s collection and the history behind selected exhibits.
Art Mix
Alongside the cars, visitors can find artwork, vintage gadgets, die-cast models and collectible automotive pieces.
Tips for a Better Visit
Bring Cash. Carry cash or check payment options before ordering, since one visit found the card machine unavailable.
Allow Time. Set aside more than a quick coffee: visitors have spent a few hours exploring the collection and still felt they had more to see.
Ask Questions. Ask the team about the gallery’s history and the exhibits; explanations can add context that is not obvious from simply walking around.
Check Exhibits. If you are returning, check what is currently displayed because the cars and exhibits change over time.
Race Week. For the strongest motorsport atmosphere, consider visiting during a Formula 1 race week.

The Bottom Line
Mille Miglia Gallery and Cafe is less a conventional coffee shop than a private automotive collection with coffee service, set in Al Quoz. You can browse classic cars, modern supercars, Formula 1 memorabilia, artworks and miniature models, then sit down for a cappuccino, sandwich, baked good or milkshake. Ferrari fans get plenty of attention, but the collection also includes Porsche, Lamborghini, Morgan and broader motorsport pieces.
The cars are not necessarily the same from one visit to the next: reviews say vehicles from the owner’s private collection are rotated every couple of months, and some visitors mention returning to watch Formula 1. There is also a pitwall display, which makes the racing theme feel more substantial than standard wall décor. The venue is small, with fewer than ten tables noted in one review, but that can work in its favour; visitors describe it as quiet and comfortable for lingering.
Coffee is generally well regarded, with specific praise for cappuccino, espresso, Spanish latte and a coffee mojito. Food reviews mention sandwiches, burgers, pizza and baked goods, though one croissant was considered probably store-bought and not fresh. Prices may run above average, and one visit encountered a non-working card machine, so bringing cash is sensible.
Allow time to look around rather than treating it as a quick caffeine stop.
