The Brass

Found a newfangled café is nuzzled into the creek of Dubai(p.s. this branch was in Al Seef). The moment you spot @thebrassdubai , there’s a warm-hospitable ambience that’s inviting. And, gladly we accepted its invitation. Here’s what we settled on for the evening:

‘Lavender Honey Latte’: let me begin with how much I adore these kind of glassware(one of my shopping weaknesses). I love that they served the latte in this, because it looks dainty, PLUS points for that. Now, coming to the unique flavour of this warm beverage is pure creativity. I have never tried Lavender added into anything that’s consumable(only aware of candles, air freshener, perfumes, etc.). Not only does the name of this drink sound delicate but the flavours itself are mellow. The combination of coffee along with hints of floral tones would suffice for a pleasant unwinding with family, friends or solo-time. The addition of honey is pure genius, retaining the naturalistic components of the flower and beverage. This comes in two sizes regular(in picture) and large, definitely worth the warm sip.

‘Cardamom Chocolate Steamer’: winters are incomplete without our most loved Hot Chocolate, but, this warm beverage ain’t your ordinary drink. With their signature Chocolate blend, Cardamom, Vanilla and Steamed Milk, it would’ve never occurred to me to incorporate an aromatic spice such as Cardamom into a common-flavoured beverage. It was quite delightful to have this, the combination of two unlikely-opposing ingredients, with a hint of Vanilla, the Cardamom was definitely not overpowering at all. Although, it would’ve been even better if they added a tad bit more of the earthy-aromatic and if they left out the pods(garnishing) instead. The simple reason being, as you sip away the pod flows into your mouth and that’s kind of a shocker.

‘Frozen’: can’t say no to a glass brimmed with ice cold cocoa. A beverage that has been named aptly is sure to give one a brain freeze. Made using their Signature Chocolate Blend, Chocolate Ice Cream and finally, blitzed in the blender with Ice is quite a simple slurp. The drink is quite ordinary, it’s your usual Chocolate Shake, I wish they could make and present it better, rather seemed plain. Although, I do love the tone of this drink, it’s bittersweet with just the right quantities of both. This beverage also comes in two sizes regular(in picture) and large.

‘Chocolate Brownie Cake’: take me to brownie heaven, I don’t want to come back!. This slice of decadence was super moist and gooeeeyyy due to the brownie fudge being sandwiched between two layers of chocolate cake. The cake is rich with everything chocolate, the sides are coated with chips and it’s topped with dollops of some more chocolate. No such thing as “too much chocolate” , well atleast for me. This deliciousness is a must have from their bakery eats.

A super neat café, with laidback and relaxing décor/furnishings. I love how pleasantly-colorful the entire place is(do check my insta-stories for more). It’s evident as you walk in you’re bound to notice how elegantly they captured the essence of arabic heritage creating it into a modern art form. Their menu is quite unique with many beverages to choose from wether it’s coffee you prefer or not. They do have fresh bakery eats, fit enough as quick snacks and pairings with your beverages. But, wish they had a variety of baked goods in addition to what they cater to choose from.

The staff members are friendly, efficient in their job, good customer skills, and attentive towards our needs, much appreciated by us. We enjoyed our hangout, the entire place was beyond perfect for an excellent unwinding session with a pleasing outdoor view, definitely apt during the winters. A cozy eatery you can enjoy with family, friends or some personal time for yourself.

Great road with nice neighbours. Handy for Mere Green, Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield and Tamworth. Some nice walks through fields nearby.
