I have a special link with More Cafe. When I first landed in the UAE ten years ago, I started working in for the Al Tayer Group in Garhoud, Dubai. To celebrate my joining the marketing team, my colleagues took me to lunch at More Cafe.

Suffering from home-sickness and missing the cafe culture of New Zealand, I immediately struck a cord with the welcoming vibes of the place and its naughty freshly-baked treats. Sadly the Garhoud branch closed down three years ago, but to my delight they now have a brand new branch at Murooj Duplex (bang opposite The Dubai Mall).

Revisiting More Cafe was such a treat! Apart from their enticing menu, here’s 10 reasons that make More Cafe so much more than your ordinary cafe:

1. The Ambiance: Very spacious and stylish chic cafe-style culture.
2. Everything Made In-House: From the freshly ground coffee to their signatures bakes and ice-creams, everything is made under the ‘More’ label. 
3. The Gifting Options: You can buy a wide array of kitchen gadgets, coffees, jams and customized bakery goods here.
   

   
4. The Library: The library here is stocked with great reads! And if you donate 5  books, coffee and croissant is on the house!
5. The Artists: More Cafe supports local artists, and has a wide number of oils on canvas and clay figurines on display. 
6. For the Kids: They have a dedicated kid’s area that is stocked with educational toys and books. And if the little ones want a breath of fresh air, they even have an activities castle in their garden area outside!
7. The Outdoor Area: More Cafe has its own little park, complete with benches and an outdoor play area so mums can enjoy their coffee catch-ups while the little ones are at play. 
8. The Staff: The staff here are super friendly and very well versed with menu options. We were served by the very lovely Samantha, and my little girl got very friendly with her. 
9. The Location: Perfect for Murooj Duplex residents! Lucky you, you now have a premium cafe right in your vicinity. Its also just a 5 minute walk from The Dubai Mall and The Dubai Mall Metro.
