Café · Umm Suqeim · $ · GREAT FOR KIDS
BookHero Café
Books and coffee with the sea in front of you and the Burj Al Arab off to the left. BookHero started as a secondhand bookshop and this park kiosk became the place to read in it: shelves of pre-loved and new titles from AED 3, most of them AED 10 to AED 20, a proper coffee machine and tables scattered across Umm Suqeim Park facing the water. Order the smiley pizza, find a book worth the walk home, and let the afternoon go.

“The smiley pizza and a flat white, then work the AED 10 and AED 20 shelves before you sit down. Stock turns over constantly, so the good titles rarely last a week.”
“It sits inside Umm Suqeim Public Park, facing the sea and opposite the Zero Point running track, so park at the beach and walk in. Dogs are welcome. Thursdays the café turns into a shared workspace for anyone who wants company while they work. Come late afternoon for the light on the Burj Al Arab.”
