This marks the Middle Eastern debut of the brand.


If you’re in the mood for a brilliant brew before a flight, we have great news. The FACT Dining Awards London-nominated coffee brand, Grind, is making its way from London to Dubai – and it has just landed in Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport. 

Grind launched in 2011 in Shoreditch, London, and quickly gained a loyal following for its stylish cafés and strong commitment to sustainability. The brand creates home-compostable coffee pods and champions ethical sourcing across its entire supply chain. 

London Grind Cafe in Dubai

Today, Grind operates 11 branches and three coffee carts across London, serving everything from coffee and cocktails to all-day dining. In 2022, it opened its first international café in Los Angeles, United States, and has since expanded its reach globally. Grind also sells all the essential coffee accessories, perfect for brewing at home.

At the new Dubai outpost, travellers can look forward to Grind’s signature drinks, including hot and cold favourites such as the Beetroot Latte, Flat White, Iced Strawberry Matcha, and Spanish Latte. There’s also a Grind Combo Deal, which includes one main dish, a coffee, and crisps for just AED 55.

This marks Grind’s first opening in the Middle East, joining other London-based coffee brands expanding in the region. Black Sheep Coffee, born in Camden, also recently launched locations in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Terminal 3 is also the location for Emirates’ flights departing from Dubai to London. The flights land in London Heathrow, London Gatwick, and London Stansted.
