The Good Stuff
Matcha Choice
Matcha is available hot or cold, with the oat-milk version and mint matcha both receiving positive mentions.
Bean Selection
You can choose between three kinds of beans, useful if you have a preferred coffee profile.
Work Friendly
The cafe suits laptop work, with a plug available at each table according to one reviewer.
Calm Setting
The clean design, quiet atmosphere and views around Souk Al Bahar make it comfortable for a short pause or casual meeting.
Outdoor Seating
Outdoor seating adds another option for enjoying the minimalist design and surrounding Dubai Mall-area views.
Tips for a Better Visit
Choose Beans. Ask about the three bean options if you have a clear preference; the selection is a useful part of the coffee experience.
Try Matcha. For matcha, you can choose hot or cold; oat milk with honey was specifically described as well blended.
Bring Charger. It is a practical laptop-work stop because one review says every table has its own plug.
Check Size. Before ordering, confirm the cup size and value: one customer felt the portions were small for the price.
Verify Parking. If you are relying on parking validation, check that it is working before leaving, as one customer reported a costly problem.
Expect New Ordering. The cafe uses a newer ordering setup, so expect a different process from a conventional counter order.

The Bottom Line
The Coffee is a Japanese-inspired cafe at Dubai Mall, located in the quieter Souk Al Bahar setting. It is a useful stop for specialty coffee, matcha and a calm break after walking around the mall area. Reviews specifically mention the blueberry matcha, True White, cappuccino and iced Americano, while the clean flat white also gets strong praise.
The atmosphere is one of its clearest strengths: customers describe it as uncluttered, comfortable and quiet enough for a casual meeting, studying or remote work. One reviewer noted that every table has its own plug, and outdoor seating has been added. Views and the traditional style around Souk Al Bahar give the cafe a change of pace from the busier mall interiors.
Matcha is available hot or cold, and the matcha with oat milk and honey was described as well blended. Coffee drinkers can choose between three bean options. Ordering is handled through a newer system, with the business describing tablet or mobile ordering and one review noting mostly card transactions.
Pricing deserves a check before ordering. One customer paid 29 AED for what they considered a small coffee, although another found the drinks reasonable for the location. If using parking validation, verify it is working first; a review describes an excessive charge after the system failed.
