Depresso Cafe
If you’re feeling down because you’ve ran out of coffee, stop by this quaint little treasure for a caffeine boost. Depresso Cafe is a speciality coffee shop that was the first in the UAE to launch the tiny donuts idea, which is well-known among Depresso fans.
The most notable feature of this café is, of course, its Instagram following. Many of Depresso’s concoctions are Instagram-worthy, and the experience is topped off with a beautiful tiny doughnut. At this quirky small café, you can beat the mid-week blues with your friends or relax with a good book.
