Encounter Coffee was the vision of EatX Managing Director Tom Arnel who has been raising the bar for specialty coffee and homegrown concepts since the launch of Tom&Serg in 2013. With the launch of its new flagship store in Mall Of Emirates, Encounter Coffee parrots the ethos of all EatX venues across Dubai, good coffee and good food.
The location is fresh, light and airy, complete with a coffee bar and surf boards, paying homage to its Australian foundation. Encounter Coffee was created from the grass roots of Melbourne coffee culture, roasting out of The Sum Of Us since 2016. The new cafe will continue its education on bean-to-brew techniques along with the tastes and flavors from across the globe.
Encounter Coffee, Mall of Emirates serves a menu of light and bright dishes such as the Soufflé pancakes with a crème brulee glaze, poached berries and yuzu chantilly or try the Turkish eggs with melted tomato, sweet peppers, coriander and a fragrant saffron yogurt. Another must-try is the Fried chicken bao with hot & sweet gochujang, nashi pear slaw and kewpie mayo. Customers will also find some EatX favorites such as the Wagyu beef burger and the classic Pumpkin and feta salad. As with all EatX venues, Rise&Dawn Bakehouse, the in-house bakery will be delivering freshly baked goods, from its signature croissants, breads and innovative pastries, perfect for grab-and-go or a pit stop coffee break.
