The Good Stuff
Flat Whites
Several reviews praise the flat whites; one calls the Ethiopian beans especially good in flat whites.
Cozy Setting
The small cafe has only a few tables, but reviewers describe it as cozy, calm, sunlit and comfortable.
Work Spot
Comfortable seating and a friendly welcome make it suitable for working for a few hours.
Friendly Service
Reviews repeatedly describe the staff as kind, welcoming and professional, with quick service mentioned too.
Desserts
The pumpkin Aseedah and tiramisu stand out among the small dessert selection.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Ethiopian. Ask for Ethiopian beans in a flat white; one reviewer specifically liked that pairing.
Work Early. For a work session, morning visits are supported by a 7am coffee-and-tea stop and comfortable seating.
Adjust Sweetness. If ordering the Spanish latte, ask for half sweetness, as one regular does.
Check Seating. If you plan to stay, confirm dine-in seating when ordering; one visitor received takeaway only.
Check Menu. Before choosing a listed drink, confirm it is available, since one review mentions menu items being unavailable.
Expect Compact. Expect a small cafe with only a couple of tables rather than a spacious dining room.

The Bottom Line
Zero Four is a specialty coffee shop in Nad Al Sheba that suits a proper coffee stop, a quiet breakfast or a few hours with a laptop. Reviews mention Costa Rican and Ethiopian beans, a well-made cortado, flat whites using Ethiopian beans, and the popular ice Spanish latte. The coffee is the main draw, with some visitors making a regular daily stop and others driving across Dubai to try it.
The setting is compact but appealing. It sits inside Al Aswaq mini mall, with an outside entrance, and reviewers describe the cafe as calm, cozy and sunlit, with comfortable seating. That makes it more useful for working than its small size might suggest, although expect only a couple of tables.
Staff are commonly described as friendly, knowledgeable and professional; one review also mentions orders being brought to the car. Food is more limited than the coffee selection. Breakfast is praised, while the dessert choices include pumpkin Aseedah, tiramisu and cakes.
Prices are a consideration: a coffee and zaatar croissant were reported at 50 dirhams, and a cappuccino at 25 dirhams. It is worth checking drink availability and whether dine-in seating is available before settling in.
