The Good Stuff
Hands-on workshops
Moulding sessions include a factory tour, toppings and custom wrappers; one workshop produced three bars per person.
Giftable packaging
Creative, practical packaging makes the bars useful souvenirs and thoughtful gifts.
Family friendly
Kids can use board games, drawing sheets and pencil colours while adults enjoy the café.
Distinctive flavours
Reviews highlight unusual options including camel milk chocolate and bars with regional flavour ideas.
Milk coffee
Milk-based coffee is a strong choice; one customer called the latte their best in Dubai.
Calm setting
The café has relaxed seating, soft music and a view towards a nearby mosque.
Tips for a Better Visit
Book ahead. Book workshops through the website, especially if you want the factory tour and custom bars.
Sample first. Use the tasting opportunity before buying, since the shop lets you compare its chocolate types.
Share desserts. Order desserts to share if you prefer less intensity; one review found them thick and sweet.
Visit evenings. For a quieter stop, try the evening after nearby work areas close.
Check parking. Driving is practical according to one review, which specifically noted that parking is available.
Choose full-fat. If ordering thick hot chocolate, full-fat milk was recommended over skimmed milk.

Popular Mentions

Chocolate soft serve

Common Concerns
Chocolate pricing
One review found the chocolates expensive, although drinks were considered reasonable.
Acidic espresso
A customer disliked the espresso for being very acidic, so milk-based coffee may be safer.
Sweet desserts
Chocolate desserts can be thick and quite sweet; sharing may make more sense.
Occasional disruption
One workshop encountered an electricity problem affecting some machines, though the tour continued.
Music issue
A review found the music unpleasant and felt it made conversation less convenient.

The Bottom Line
Mirzam is a bean-to-bar chocolate factory, shop and café in Al Quoz, with more to do than simply pick up a bar. You can look through the open workshop, book a factory tour and moulding session, taste different origins, then make three custom bars with toppings and wrappers. The retail shelves are also well suited to souvenirs, thanks to creative packaging and flavours such as camel milk chocolate and sea salt dark chocolate.
The café gives the visit a relaxed second act. Reviews mention hot chocolate, chocolate cake, mousse, brownies, soft serve, gelato and coffee; milk-based drinks seem to be the safer coffee choice, while one customer found the espresso very acidic. Desserts can be thick and sweet, so sharing is sensible.
The space has board games and drawing sheets for children, making the workshops and café workable for families as well as casual coffee stops. Book a workshop through the website if you want the full experience, and sample bars before buying. Prices are not uniformly low: one review called the chocolates high-end and reported 45aed for a tea.
Evening visits can feel especially quiet once surrounding work areas close, and parking has been reported as available. Occasional equipment or music issues are worth keeping in mind, but the factory access and tasting element give Mirzam a clear reason to visit.
