The Good Stuff
Quiet setting
Reviews describe a calmer shop away from the bustle, suitable for reading, work or study.
Easy parking
Older visitors reported ample parking and finding a space more easily than at busier branches.
Early visits
The branch was described as a useful stop for very early coffee or breakfast before work.
Clean atmosphere
Some older reviews specifically mention a clean, relaxing place for coffee.
Tips for a Better Visit
Verify first. Check the map and current listing before travelling; one visitor spent 40 minutes walking in the heat and still could not find it.
Check phone. Do not rely on the listed phone number without confirming it belongs to this branch.
Try drive-through. If the branch is confirmed open, an older review specifically used the drive-through for a flat white.
Avoid smoke. If indoor smoking bothers you, check the current policy before settling in; older reviews mention pipes being smoked inside.
Check the bill. Review your receipt before leaving because one older customer alleged that extra shots were added without asking.

The Bottom Line
Starbucks is listed as a coffeehouse in Al Sufouh, where the stated offer includes handcrafted coffee, espresso, tea and breakfast or pastry options. Older reviews mention a flat white through the drive-through, an early breakfast stop and a quiet place to read, work or study. One customer also singled out an ICEQuad and a breakfast sandwich.
Those positive comments are historical, however. The dominant recent theme is that the listing cannot be trusted: visitors say the pin is wrong, the shop has moved or closed, and there is no Starbucks at the marked spot. One person walked for 40 minutes in the heat, while another checked three nearby buildings and spoke with guards who said no branch was there.
The phone listing is also problematic; a reviewer said it connected to a Starbucks in Jumeirah Beach, more than 17 km away. Confirm the location and number before setting out, especially if you are travelling specifically for an iced latte or drive-through order. If the branch is confirmed open, older reviews suggest easier parking and a calmer atmosphere than busier Starbucks locations.
There are also cautions about indoor pipe smoking, an alleged extra-shot billing issue, and one particularly poor mocha frappuccino, so check your order and receipt.
