Friends' Avenue Cafe

Ground Floor, Cluster T Jumeirah Lake Towers - JLT, Dubai

Friends Avenue Café, it was founded by young and ambitious three-man team, possibly becoming one of the youngest restaurateurs in the UAE. Having only opened the doors at the end of February, the young trio has already built a loyal clientele of coffee connoisseurs and lovers of good, wholesome food.

From the beginning, with our friendship and young age, we wanted to bring together our energy and passion to create a place where people can socialise, enjoy quality gourmet food and build a strong relationship with a likeminded business. “Friends’ Avenue Café is not a fast food fuel stop, nor is it a fancy, special occasion restaurant. We are a casual, relaxed place, which forms part of your daily or weekly routine. We are aiming to create a warm, comforting space that serves the type of food that you want to have with your friends, family and people close to you.

Having studied, worked and travelled across the world, we were inspired by the chilled-out back streets of New York, while working in various cafés in the city. The atmosphere of Manhattan’s long avenues, where people “can walk, chat, and enjoy their time, feeling stress-free”, helped to inspire the new café’s concept and name a world away in Dubai.
