Every year on 1 October, coffee lovers get a reason to celebrate. In Dubai, cafés and restaurants roll out special deals to mark International Coffee Day offers. For 2025, several spots in the city are going the extra mile — from free cups to bold discounts. Here are five offers you should know before the big day.
People: Free Coffee for First 25 Visitors
PEOPLE, a new café in Al Khawaneej Walk, is offering a complimentary coffee to the first 25 guests on 1 October. A simple but effective gesture — arrive early, order anything, and your brew is on them.
Bookends: Free Coffee for All Guests
At Bookends in Dubai Digital Park, every guest on International Coffee Day gets a free cup of coffee (one per person). Whether you’re there to read or chat, your coffee is included.
The Banc: Coffee or Tiramisu — Your Choice
At The Banc in Business Bay, the first 50 guests will enjoy a free specialty drink or dessert: either a brewed coffee or their signature espresso-infused tiramisu. Stylish venue, sharing the love.
Cinemacity Fountain Views: Coffee + Popcorn Deal
Cinemacity Fountain Views is pairing cinematic snacks with caffeine. On 1 October, order their limited-edition coffee-flavoured popcorn, and you’ll get a complimentary coffee (or espresso). Ideal for a movie + brew combo.
Taken Café: 25% Off All Coffees
Taken Café in Dubai Hills is giving 25% off on all coffee orders throughout the day. No strings, no freebies — just a solid discount to celebrate.
Trattoria: Swap a Coffee Bean for an Affogato
Souk Madinat Jumeirah’s Trattoria is proving that magic beans really do exist. On 1 October, between 3pm and 7pm, guests can take a single coffee bean to the hostess desk and swap it for a classic affogato. The treat includes creamy vanilla gelato topped with a bold double ristretto — a decadent upgrade from Jack’s fairytale trade.
That’s not all. From 1 to 12 October, Trattoria will feature a coffee-infused menu, ranging from signature affogato twists (hazelnut crunch, salted caramel, or boozy upgrades) to hearty dishes like coffee-coated beef carpaccio, stuffed pasta with fontina and coffee, and of course, tiramisu.
The Drip Café & Together & Co: Coffee Meets Pastries
If you’re around Business Bay, both Together & Co and The Drip Café have tempting treats lined up.
- At Together & Co, located in Hilton Garden Inn, the offer runs 1–5 October: buy any pastry and receive a free coffee of your choice.
- At The Drip Café in Embassy Suites by Hilton, the pairing is reversed: order a coffee, and you’ll enjoy 50% off any pastry on display.
NIO Café serves premium coffee for just AED 5
Car lovers and coffee enthusiasts can celebrate International Coffee Day in style with NIO’s special offer. From October 1 to 5, visitors to NIO Café by Orto at NIO Hub Dubai and NIO Café at NIO House Abu Dhabi can enjoy an Americano, Latte, or Cappuccino – hot or iced – for only AED 5.
This limited-time promotion brings together two passions: finely brewed coffee and innovative electric vehicles. Guests can sip their drinks while exploring NIO’s premium EV line-up in a modern, relaxing setting. Additional charges apply for alternative milk options, but the experience of enjoying café-quality coffee for just AED 5 makes this offer hard to resist.
Tips to Make the Most of These Offers
- Arrive early — many deals are limited by quantity.
- Check café hours — some offers run only in the morning.
- Bring your own cup when possible — some establishments may reward eco-conscious visitors.
- Tag the café and use #ICD2025 to join the community buzz.
These are excellent deals for those who see coffee and pastries as inseparable companions.
With seven standout offers now on the list, coffee lovers in Dubai have plenty of reasons to celebrate International Coffee Day 2025. From free brews to playful swaps, indulgent affogati to pastry pairings, the city is buzzing with creative ways to enjoy caffeine.
Whether you plan to café-hop, try something new, or simply grab a free cup on the go, these promotions make it worth marking the date.
