Custom drinks
Baristas have prepared off-menu requests, including an iced white mocha with rose cream.

Tips for a Better Visit
Adjust sugar. If ordering a sweet drink, ask for less sugar; one Frappuccino review suggested reducing it for better balance.
Visit off-peak. For more attentive service and easier seating, try visiting outside peak times.
Check orders. Check your drink and food before leaving, since reviews mention missing items and inaccurate orders.
Try local items. Ask about less-common menu items such as Monkey Bread, which staff have introduced to customers.

The Bottom Line
Starbucks in Dubai Marina is a practical mall coffee stop for a familiar drink, a light bite or a longer sit-down. Reviews of the Dubai Marina Mall branch describe plenty of tables, comfortable seating and a calm enough atmosphere for working, while the air-conditioned atrium makes it an easy retreat from the heat. Some customers also report late-night, around-the-clock opening.
The menu has more than standard coffee orders. Reviewers mention an iced mocha, iced caramel macchiato, Americano with hot milk, Spanish late and Monkey Bread, as well as sandwiches, wraps and a cheese turkey croissant. Baristas have also made an iced white mocha with rose cream even though it was not on the menu.
Friendly service is a recurring strength, with several regulars saying staff remembered their orders. There are worthwhile cautions. Recent reviews describe inconsistent coffee quality, dirty or worn seating, streaky tables and occasional order mistakes.
A pain au chocolat was reportedly too hard to bite, and another customer found a hair in a muffin. Visit outside peak periods if you want a better chance of finding a clean table and receiving more attentive service, and check takeaway orders before leaving.
