This coffee shop is the best! Their coffee is better than any coffee in the country. Less bitter and they actually have all the terrific coffee drinks on the menu. The service is great and the atmosphere is rich and warm. It is the first coffee shop that made me feel like I was home....(USA). They have opened one on Salwa road and plan to open SEVEN more!!! Guys I have lived in Qatar 14 years, and I MUST SAY it is worth the trip!

If you've been to Caribou in The Greens, Dubai, then you'll know what I mean. The Caribou there is warm, welcoming and very friendly with everything you need.

In Caribou Dubai the sandiches, paninis & salads are all fresh, look good & taste great.

Salwa Road on the other hand...

You walk in to be greeted by a wall of stale cigarette smell (i'm a smoker but this stinks), like those smoking rooms you find at airports.

The sandwiches are low quality junk, worse than sandwiches you find in UK petrol stations, (just from the look of them) let alone the taste. Despite there being a panini machine, they don't sell paninis.

Thier board lists the usual extensive list of coffees, teas etc. On order however, on everything we asked, "sorry sir we don't have". To date they are awaiting a shipment from America to arrive. No green tea, no peppermint, no soya, no nothing apart from Earl Grey or Americano. Ok understandable but surely they could get hold of green tea bags or soya milk etc locally??!

The lovely large glass panels are fantastic for slouching in the comfy seats (they are in fact) & looking out onto the world...or here the Salwa main road & car park.

Good points: free internet like all Caribous. Seriously, do coffee shops not understand that people will spend longer if you give them free internet?!!!

Maybe third time lucky Caribou Doha. Would be nice to have a proper Caribou like those already in existance elsewhere in the world.

Caribou... I would be stupid if i say Caribou is my second home.. Its my FIRST HOME.. I love the Place.

Without Question the Best Coffee in Town, Extensive amazing menu, Great Service, Free Wifi, Book Store (free to read in the Store and Cheap to Buy) Meeting Room for 10, Great Outdoor Area and a completely closed uper section for smokers.. seriously, this place has finally made it fair for Smokers or non smokers.. if your dont smoke you are welcome on the ground floor and if you do on the second floor and the outdoor area is to share.. WORKS FOR ME!

Try thier Sandwiches.. Finally Fresh REAL Sandwiches to snack on if Hungry!

Thank you Caribou for making my Days better!
