A new community hub has arrived in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), and it’s already generating excitement among foodies and coffee enthusiasts alike. Say hello to Uptown Social, the latest addition to DMCC’s growing culinary scene. An Instagram-worthy café offering freshly made dishes — think, perfect pastries, vibrant and nutritious salads, bowls, and sandwiches, as well as an irresistible all-day breakfast menu.
Nestled in the Uptown Tower in The Atrium, in the heart of JLT’s bustling foodie district, Uptown Social brings together beautiful interiors, a warm and inviting atmosphere (a perfect spot to work from!) with a menu crafted for food lovers.
Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch, a coffee catch-up, or an escape from the office to work remotely, this cosy yet stylish café promises a feast for both the taste buds and the camera — you’ll be taking décor inspiration home with every visit.
Dine on the terrace and enjoy your coffee with a custom photo of your pet printed on it, while they indulge in a complimentary treat.
At Uptown Social, breakfast isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience and a chance for guests to take some time out of the hustle and bustle of life and indulge in classics such as Eggs Benedict (AED 44), or opt for something lighter like an Açaí Bowl (AED 39).
For a nutritious option, the Mashed Sweet Potato Bowl (AED 54) features poached eggs, spinach, mushrooms, and a medley of seeds, offering a healthy yet satisfying start to the day.
Lunchtime favourites include freshly prepared gourmet sandwiches and delicious toasts, such as the Brie & Prosciutto Sandwich (AED 69), with layers of brie, beef prosciutto, and garlic aioli on fresh sourdough. Lighter options include a range of fresh, vibrant salads, crafted for health-conscious diners who don’t want to compromise on flavour.
No visit to Uptown Social is complete without indulging in their sweet treats. The Uptown Waffle (AED 58) is topped with white chocolate, blueberries, matcha ice cream, and pistachios, while the Fluffy Pancakes de Marly (AED 59) are finished with mango, maple syrup, and a blueberry compote – perfect for any time of day. Plus, an exciting daily offer awaits! Order their signature fluffy pancakes or golden waffles and enjoy your favourite coffee on the house – the perfect pairing for a delightful café experience. The offer is available 7 days of the week, from 5pm onwards!
Pair your meal with a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, as Uptown Social takes its coffee culture seriously – serving an exclusive, in-house roasted blend, with favourites like a smooth Flat White (AED 19) or the indulgent Spanish Latte (AED 29).
