Dubai Food Festival 2020 is not just about the food \u2013 it\u2019s a chance to indulge in a range of coffee drinks specially created just for the 18-day festival, with the Limited Edition Coffee Series.<\/p>\n

Until Saturday 14 March, coffee lovers can try a drink concocted by baristas at nine local coffee concept stores, or one of three international franchises.<\/p>\n

Coffee lovers fans should pick up a Dubai Food Festival coffee passport and get it stamped at each venue for the chance to win AED 1,000 worth of coffee.<\/p>\n

Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO, Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE) says:<\/strong> \u201cCoffee is so entrenched in society, we thought it would be remiss to leave this much-loved drink out of the festival. Dubai\u2019s coffee culture is growing year on year, with the city not only attracting franchise operators for global brands, but also fantastic home-grown concepts. We invited them to serve limited edition coffee-based drinks throughout the 18-day event and hope to encourage residents and visitors alike to visit each and every one of these special outlets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Home grown coffee houses and cafes taking part in the coffee festival include Cupagahwa, DOH, Drop Caf\u00e9, 20 Grams Caf\u00e9, Emirati Coffee, Nusantara Coffee Roasters, Qiso Caf\u00e9 & Minimart, Andes Caf\u00e9, Spill the Beans and One Degree Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

International franchises taking part are Costa Coffee, Caf\u00e9 Frei and Boston Lane Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

DIFC-based Cafe Frei<\/strong> already serves more than 67 different global coffee varieties. For Dubai Food Festival, it is offering a short-run antioxidant-rich coffee called Superfood Frappe, using beans sourced from shade-grown plantations.<\/p>\n

High Street favourite Costa Coffee <\/strong>is bringing a Spiced Toffee Cappuccino to its menus at 155 outlets across the UAE. Expect espresso topped with spiced toffee foam.<\/p>\n

Head to South American\/Asian fusion venue Andes<\/strong> in the Trade Centre area before 4 March to try its Festival creation – a Vietnamese Iced Latte. Made using specialty medium-dark roast coffee beans from South America and infused with condensed and fresh milk, the drink is served hot or over ice.<\/p>\n

Boston Lane<\/strong> in the charming Courtyard, Al Quoz, has concocted a locally inspired beverage, the Ice Rose Crystal Coffee, infused with rose petals and Boston Lane\u2019s signature coffee jelly.<\/p>\n

Everything\u2019s organic at Dubai Silicon Oasis outlet Qiso Caf\u00e9<\/strong>, which has gone all out to get guests buzzing during the festival with the chance to sample a flight of three different single-origin drinks. After choosing a favourite, guests can then enjoy a full measure of their chosen brew, alongside tasting notes and the chance to try a tempting tiramisu flavoured with your chosen beans.<\/p>\n

Drop Dubai<\/strong>, in Dubai Mall and Jumeirah, is bringing a taste of la dolce vita with its Italian-inspired Cold Brew Spritz, designed to cool and stimulate the senses while people watching at this artisanal, home-grown brews and bites venue.<\/p>\n

For a sip of truly local flavour, try Emirati Coffee<\/strong>\u2019s Cascara Fizz, a cold drink made from the pulp or skin of the coffee cherry (known as the \u2018qishr\u2019). With a Dar Wasl Mall store and an Al Quoz roastery, this outlet is bang on trend, but it\u2019s been around since the 1930s.<\/p>\n

Take a taste of the great outdoors with your specialty coffee from DOH<\/strong> at Last Exit, Al Khawaneej with the Doh Oreo Latte \u2013 a limited edition Oreo cookie-inspired drink, as quirky as the outlet itself.<\/p>\n

Pioneers of \u2018third wave\u2019 coffees, Sustainable City\u2019s Spill the Beans<\/strong>\u2019 special drink, the Bounty Brew, is a vegan, gluten-free pick-me-up for the more health conscious. But it\u2019s still an indulgent \u2018drink\u2019 \u2013 expect a cold Colombian brew and coconut milk, poured over coconut chocolate truffles, a raw chocolate brownie bite, mocha syrup and coffee-bean infused ice spheres.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019d expect from the popular outlets called Cupagahwa<\/strong>, its offering is inspired by local tastes and culture. The Falooda Latte is a creamy milk-based drink with traditional rose-flavoured notes, layered with Cupagahwa\u2019s Italian coffee blend for a modern twist.<\/p>\n

For a quick caffeine fix in one of Dubai\u2019s most quirky dining and retail district, head to the Storm Cafe<\/strong><\/p>\n

food truck at Boxpark, Al Wasl Road. Its signature Storm Latte is a specialty blend made from top-of-the-line coffee beans and sporting a distinctive Arabic taste.<\/p>\n

Whatever the choice of coffee Festival goers prefer, they\u2019re sure to find something to suit their tastes at one of the participating coffee outlets.<\/p>\n
