Tips for a Better Visit
Check Delivery. If ordering delivery, check the item when it arrives: one tuna ‘bagel’ came in a burger bun.
Confirm Orders. Repeat your drink temperature and size at the counter, as one reviewer reported several order mistakes.
Try Oat Milk. Ask about oat milk if you prefer it; a delivery customer found it available at no extra charge.
Plan Wi-Fi. For working, allow for Wi-Fi renewals every 30 minutes rather than expecting a long uninterrupted session.
Try Breakfast. Breakfast is a reliable starting point, with one reviewer specifically enjoying the breakfast wrap.

The Bottom Line
Roast Speciality Coffee is a relaxed coffee shop in Dubai Marina where people come for carefully made coffee, breakfast and uncomplicated café food. The smooth Spanish Latte is the clearest customer favourite, while the breakfast wrap, fresh sandwiches and bowls give you more substantial options than a pastry-and-coffee stop. Freshly made lemonade and matcha also receive individual praise.
The setting is cosy and calm, with indoor seating and some outdoor spots in the sun. Reviews repeatedly describe the service as polite, welcoming and quick, making the café work for a quiet coffee break as well as breakfast. One visitor even returned four times during a five-day Dubai stay, citing the food, coffee and value.
There are a few details worth keeping in mind. A Deliveroo customer received a tuna ‘bagel’ in a burger bun and felt the chilli cheese toast did not match its photo, so inspect delivery orders if presentation matters. Another repeat visitor reported multiple drink-order errors, including hot drinks arriving iced.
Outdoor tables have also been criticised for uncleared ashtrays. If you plan to work, the Wi-Fi reportedly needs renewing every 30 minutes. Oat milk has been available without an extra charge, which is useful for dairy-free coffee orders.
