The Magazine Shop

The Magazine Shop is a first for Dubai – a café specialising in high quality coffee, and high quality independent magazines. We source only the most thought-provoking, inspiring, unique, and beautifully designed magazines from around the world, curating a selection of magazines on the subjects of art, design, travel, fashion, architecture, music, film, and special interests. We are committed to promoting creative independent publishing in the Middle East.

We aim to bring you a range that offers an alternative, intelligent perspective. In an age (and a city) that moves fast looking for bigger and better, these magazines are painstakingly made by passionate people, to help us stop and think differently.



All the coffee at The Magazine Shop is from Raw Coffee, an ethical company that imports superior coffee beans from fairly treated farmers. With the support of Raw Coffee, our baristas undergo intensive training, so that we can be confident customers will love the beverage they receive. With sandwiches, pastries, and snacks also available, customers will be encouraged to spend a leisurely hour or two at The Magazine Shop, getting lost in a lovingly made magazine.
