Julith brings together a roastery, brew lounge, concept store, and social hub under one roof.
In a city like Dubai, where coffee is so much more than a morning ritual, news of a new roastery is always cause for celebration. Meet Julith, a new homegrown concept that opens its doors in Al Quoz this week. Set to redefine the city’s coffee experience, this homegrown concept pairs a roastery is part roastery, part brew lounge, part concept store, and part social hub, making it perfect for creative communities in need of caffeine.
Every cup at Julith begins long before it reaches the barista’s hands. The journey begins in remote corners of the world, from high-altitude farms and volcanic slopes to remote microclimates where rich soil, balanced rainfall, and ideal humidity nurture beans with exceptional character. Once harvested, the beans are handled with uncompromising care. Timing, temperature, and precision are everything; each batch is roasted in-house by Serkan Sagsoz, who fine-tunes every profile to reveal layered notes and a sense of place in every sip. The process is exacting, but the reward is a cup that feels alive; complex, balanced and unlike anything else in Dubai. Sagsoz, incidentally, is not just the Head Coffee Roaster at Julith. He’s also a three-time Turkish Barista Champion, too.
Julith’s coffee programme blends precision with innovation across three stations. At the Espresso Bar, three S65 grinders and precision scales deliver the house chocolate-forward blend, as well as two single-origin coffees. The Slow Brew Bar offers pour-over V60 coffees, with an option to upgrade to rare beans – some aged up to a year – stored in the bar-top freezer. A standout innovation is the Rotovap Milk Programme, which removes water from milk to achieve a creamy, naturally sweet finish.
Beyond its coffee, the beverage menu explores vibrant flavours and wellness‑led options such as Matcha Colada, Hojicha Latte, Blue Matcha, Tonka Fizz, and Sumac Lemonade. An elevated all‑day dining menu, meanwhile, bridges comfort and creativity, reimagining familiar classics with unexpected flavour combinations and refined presentation. Highlights include signatures like the Julith Benedict (braised beef cheek, arugula, poached eggs, crispy potato, and hollandaise sauce) and Julith Chicken Slider (crispy chicken breast, citrus mayo, caramelised onion, oyster mushroom, and baby gem lettuce).
Spanning two light-filled levels, Julith’s interiors are warm yet modern, featuring double-height windows, pale wood, concrete, and steel, softened by foliage and deep navy textiles. The ground floor centres on an open coffee bar and glass-walled roastery, where guests can watch the craft unfold. Above the espresso bar, a split‑flap showcases personalised affirmations throughout the day. The lounge also flows into the onsite concept store, showcasing a rotating selection of beautifully designed items ranging from bespoke ceramics and coffee accessories to lifestyle pieces inspired by Dubai. Each item is curated to reflect Julith’s aesthetic: thoughtful, functional, and quietly striking.
Upstairs, the duplex lounge is anchored by a striking cherry blossom tree, surrounded by seating nooks and three soundproof private work pods, free to book for meetings or quiet focus. This level will also feature Julith’s upcoming Omakase Room, an intimate space for curated coffee tastings led by Sagsoz himself. “Julith was born from a desire to create something more than a café; we wanted to build a space where coffee is experienced, not just consumed,” he says. “Every detail, from the sourcing of rare beans to the way we roast and brew, is about slowing down and celebrating the ritual. Dubai is ready for this next level of coffee culture, and Julith is our way of sharing it with the community and then the world.”
