8th Cafe
About This Spot
Stepping into 8th Cafe is like discovering a quiet retreat nestled in the heart of Dubai’s desert edge, where time gently slows and the buzz of the city feels miles away. The atmosphere here unfolds with a calm, unhurried rhythm—an outdoor haven where chic modernity harmonizes with the natural landscape. Light filters through, casting soft shadows over stylish seating areas crafted to invite lingering conversations and peaceful moments alike.
The open-air layout creates a sense of freedom, almost fragile in its delicate balance between sophistication and the raw beauty of its surroundings. As the sun dips, a subtle coziness emerges; this is a place that wears the changing day with ease, evolving from sunlit warmth into a quietly inviting spot to unwind after dark.
The food and drink here are never just “menu items” but extensions of the ambiance—comforting yet thoughtfully composed, with touches that surprise and satisfy. From the richness of a warm cup that soothes to indulgent treats that feel like a quiet celebration, every bite and sip seems designed to deepen your connection to this unique setting.
It’s easy to imagine families, friends, and solo explorers alike finding something meaningful here—a rare blend of attentive hospitality and an unspoken invitation to pause and savor the moment. The staff’s genuine warmth feels like part of the place’s charm, adding an understated layer of welcome that makes coming back a natural choice.
For those willing to venture beyond the typical routes of Dubai, this café offers a refreshing perspective—a quiet luxury wrapped in the vastness of the desert, where every visit feels like a gentle discovery.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great food with a lovely ambience. The staff are very polite and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. A bonfire would make it absolutely perfect and complete the vibe 100%. Highly recommended!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 We visited 8th Café last night as a family and were genuinely impressed. The location is absolutely beautiful — one of the most stunning and relaxing spots we’ve been to in Dubai. The food was incredible, and the Wagyu Royal Burger was easily one of the top 3 burgers I’ve had in Dubai. Perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and worth the visit on its own! A fantastic experience overall. Highly recommend for families, date nights, or anyone looking for great food in a gorgeous setting.

This is hands down one of the best winter cafés in town! The space is beautiful, and I absolutely loved their hot chocolate and matcha. A perfect cozy spot to unwind and definitely worth a visit this season

Honestly, this spot is an absolute hidden gem and completely worth the scenic 40km drive out into the quiet desert area. You wouldn't expect such a beautifully curated, stylish setup so far from the city! The entire restaurant is dedicated to outdoor seating, and the ambiance is simply unbeatable—everything is modern, super chic, and perfectly integrated with the natural, peaceful environment. It genuinely elevates the whole experience from a simple coffee stop to a luxurious retreat. We went specifically for the sunset, and let me tell you, it was magical. Watching the sky explode in deep golden and fiery colors over the vast desert horizon while sipping on their excellent coffee and enjoying some light snacks was the most relaxing and therapeutic end to the day. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive without being intrusive. If you're stressed and need a serious escape, or just want the most beautiful backdrop for your evening coffee, stop looking—this is a must-visit. Just make sure you time your arrival for that breathtaking golden hour. Five stars, hands down, for location, style, and atmosphere!
