- らわManchester, United Kingdom1,698 contributionsNice little coffee museumThis is a nice small museum and only costs 10 Durhams to enter. It includes free coffee and dates. Lots of antiques and some explanations of the history of coffee, such as the first coffee houses, Japan making the first instant coffee and Nestle making the first freeze dried coffee. Nice and cool inside so a good break from the heat, definitely worth a visit for anyone who likes coffee.Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 26 November 2023

You can see a lot of coffee grinders, kettles or pots in which the coffee was brewed. For tasting, you also get two small coffees (one traditional UAE, and one classic) as well as dried dates.Visited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 20 December 2023
- C8H8O394 contributionsInteresting collection of coffee artifactsA small but nice collection of coffee historical items, as well as some good educational material for those interested in coffee. It’s in historic district so also best to see for the surrounding buildings. There is an SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) certified barista upstairs, and the v60 pour over of Ethiopian coffee I had (30 AED) was perfectly done, if that’s your thing. The coffee sample that comes with the 10 AED entrance fee is not the same (and unnoteworthy).Visited December 2023Travelled soloWritten 25 December 2023
- Meklit BekeleEthiopia505 contributionsAmazingThe coffee museum in Dubai, offers a fascinating journey through the history of coffee, explaining traditional brewing methods and artifacts from around the world. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff are knowledgeable, sharing interesting insights into the origins and culture of coffee. I enjoyed a fresh cup brewed in Arab traditional style. Overall, it's a unique and charming experience that combines education with a love for coffee. From the staff members, Leyla the Ethiopian coffee maker, was my favorite!!Visited September 2024Travelled soloWritten 23 September 2024

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you're looking for local coffee, a bit of history, and great conversation for about 3 USD, look no further than this place. Shahab greeted us warmly and gave us an insightful history lesson about coffee and the UAE, along with recommendations for other great spots to visit. He was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. I would definitely go again and bring others with me!

We wanted to visit the old town and we found this fabulous little gem with air conditioning which provided a welcome respite from the baking August heat.
Welcomed by 2 pleasant chaps and served traditional coffee and dates before wandering round the artefacts and little rooms.
Finished off with a second coffee (Ethiopian) which was rich and delicious.
At only 100 aed a well worth it stop off!

The visit is not even worth the value of the entrance. Three rooms with old coffee grinders and other devices, without and explanations or labels as to dates or there they come from. After the quick visit, complimentary coffees are served by a girl sitting on the floor, who pours the coffee in a little cup and grabs a handful of POPCORN with her bare hands and puts it next to the cup. My cup came with dates, and the lady who brought it didnt even know what they were. Ans experience to forget.

Coffee is my second life, especially in the morning. So I didn't hesitate to go to the museum. The Al-Fahidi Historic District, which houses a museum. Admission 10 dirhams. At the entrance sits a colorful uncle of the local spill. The museum itself is not large, but 2 floors. There are antiques on the ground floor. Coffee lovers can buy something for themselves. On the second floor is a wide selection of coffee books to read and coffee documentaries to watch. At the end they offer coffee and treat you to dates).

I am surprised positively with coffee museum. It is so nice. First in my life I tasted coffee from Ethiopia. The staff are very nice and kind. I would mention a girl Salam from EThiopia who is very kind. She gave me a lot of information of coffee which I hadn't known before.

It’s a small speciality museum in Fahidi Historical District. What I love about here is it’s about coffee hahha. You get to discover cool stuff about coffee like how it was done ages ago. Different coffee origins and different coffee specialities from various countries.
There is a coffee shop upstairs but we haven’t tried it yet. Will do after sometime haha 😜
Oh and the smell of coffee, the design of the place it’s like speaking “Coffee it’s all about u, just you ❤️”

Popped in here when exploring the Al Fahidi historical area. Lots of interesting items related to coffee. You're left to your own devices to look around but any questions are readily answered.

How can I get to this museum using either taxi or public transportation + walking? I'm unclear on the actual address and the web site is not very helpful. I will be staying at Hilton Garden Inn Dubai Al Muraqabat. Thanks!
Written 11 April 2017
you could either take a taxi and ask him to drop you off at Bastakiya which is where the coffee museum is at. You just need to walk you way around it because there are art galleries and cafes in the area. Or if you want to have the tourist experience and discover the whole area, take the metro to Al Fahidi station and from there walk to Bastakiya. You will pass the old Souk/Spice market which is pretty interesting. There will be a lot of tourist information desks there incase you need to ask for directions.
