TOM & SERG: This Melbournianinspired café is Bull & Roo’s debut concept. Tucked away in a corner of Al Quoz, it served its first plate of deliciousness back in November 2013. Born out of a desire to dish up honest, wholesome fare and great coffee to Dubai residents from all walks of life, the urbanindustrial space was one of the first in the city to pair casual and gourmet. Things haven’t changed much since we opened. Although we’ve up-scaled the expansive space’s gritty-chic feel with a characterfilled, contemporary palette and a few other stylistic tweaks, our comeback-soon service and beautiful servers with positive vibes are still the same as the last time you dropped by. 15 A Street, Al-Joud Center, Al Quoz, Dubai 64 | G&G _ Magazine
