The Espresso Lab - QAH: Coffee Wonderland or Just Another Café?

So, I strolled into The Espresso Lab the other day, located in direct sight—North Parking, Qasr, شارع حمدان, Al Hisn, Abu Dhabi. I was on the lookout for some caffeine that would blow my socks off. Instead, I got a mixed bag of vibes.

First off, the ambiance? Straight-up gorgeous. It’s neat and modern—think minimalist chic with just the right dash of cozy. There’s indoor seating and some outdoor spots with a killer view of the Abu Dhabi skyline, which is a nice perk while sipping on your coffee.

Now, let’s talk about the coffee itself. I mean, the tagline “Exceptional Coffee is our Journey” really sets the bar. They’re all about that espresso life—no sugar or takeout, which might leave some folks scratching their heads. Why no sugar? Who knows! Could suggest they’re all about purity.

With over 570 reviews and a score of 4.3 out of 5, people seem to have strong feelings—both good and not so good. There are glowing remarks about their flat white, praised for its rich flavor. However, others took a different route and grumbled about high prices, with filter coffee hitting 41 AED—ouch!

And let’s not forget: the staff can sometimes seem a bit strict with their policies. You might feel like you’re in an espresso boot camp rather than a chill coffee shop. Just be ready to navigate some quirks if you decide to pay them a visit.

All in all, if you’re a serious coffee aficionado looking for a place to fit in or just a spot to chill, this could be your jam, though proceed with light-hearted skepticism!
