Turkish Coffee in Downtown Dubai
A 4 oz heritage serve: finely ground, prepared slowly, rich and full-bodied. At MRJADE, Turkish coffee isn’t a menu add-on. It’s where the brand comes from, a family craft since 1958 and coffee roasted in Istanbul.

Turkish coffee is where MRJADE starts.
Many cafes list Turkish coffee. At MRJADE, it runs through the whole story: a founder raised in a Turkish family in Germany, a grandfather’s coffee craft dating back to 1958, and a roasting stage that still happens in Istanbul.
1958
Jade Sen’s grandfather’s Turkish coffee craftsmanship, the family root of the brand.
Istanbul roasting
MRJADE’s coffee is roasted in Istanbul, with traditional methods and modern control.
German-Turkish founder
Born in Düsseldorf in 1977 to a Turkish family, moving between two coffee cultures.
Now in Downtown Dubai
The same heritage, served as a 4 oz cup at Burj Crown on Emaar Boulevard.
Recognised by UNESCO since 2013.
In 2013, UNESCO inscribed Turkish coffee culture and tradition on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. UNESCO describes the beans being ground to a fine powder and brewed slowly with cold water and sugar in a pot to produce foam, then served in small cups with a glass of water.
UNESCO calls the tradition a symbol of hospitality, friendship, refinement and entertainment.UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, 2013
That’s the spirit behind the cup at MRJADE too: a drink for slowing down and talking, even in the middle of Downtown Dubai.
How to drink Turkish coffee properly.
It’s unfiltered, small and concentrated, so it asks for a slightly different rhythm than a latte.
- Start with water. Traditionally, Turkish coffee is served with a glass of water. A sip first clears the palate so the coffee tastes as it should.
- Let it settle. Turkish coffee is unfiltered: the grounds are part of the cup. Give it a minute after it arrives so they sink to the bottom.
- Sip slowly. It’s a small, concentrated cup, meant to be sipped, not downed. Enjoy the foam on top first.
- Stop before the grounds. When you reach the thick layer at the bottom, you’re done. The grounds stay in the cup.
Turkish coffee is ordered by sweetness.
Traditionally, sugar is added while the coffee brews rather than stirred in afterwards, so you choose your sweetness when you order. These are the classic levels; tell our team at the counter how you’d like yours.
Plain, no sugar
For tasting the coffee itself: bold, bitter-edged and aromatic.
A little sugar
Softens the edge without turning it into something sweet.
Medium sweet
The common middle ground in Turkish coffee culture.

For those who like it rounded and dessert-adjacent.
Turkish coffee vs espresso, V60 and Arabic coffee.
Four very different ways to make a small, strong cup, and how they differ in the grind, the brew and the result.
| Coffee | How it’s made | In the cup | Serve |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turkish Coffee | Very fine powder, brewed slowly in a small pot, served unfiltered | Rich, full-bodied, foam on top, grounds settle | Small cup; a 4 oz heritage serve at MRJADE |
| Espresso | Fine grind, water forced through under pressure | Short, concentrated, with crema | A single or double shot |
| V60 Filter | Medium grind, hand-poured through a paper filter | Clean, lighter-bodied, more clarity | A longer black coffee |
| Arabic coffee (qahwa) | Typically lightly roasted and often spiced with cardamom | Light, aromatic, spiced | Small handleless cups; not on the MRJADE menu |
Want something between the two? MRJADE Crema, our signature, is velvety and full-bodied; the V60 is the lightest, cleanest black coffee we pour.
Roasted in Istanbul, brewed in Downtown Dubai.
MRJADE’s coffee is evaluated for quality before roasting, then roasted in Istanbul using traditional methods with modern control of temperature, duration and roast development. It’s the stage where the brand’s Turkish heritage connects most directly to what ends up in your cup.

Turkish coffee in Downtown Dubai: your questions
Short answers for first-timers and regulars alike.
Where can I get Turkish coffee in Downtown Dubai?
MRJADE Coffee at R01, Burj Crown on Emaar Boulevard serves Turkish coffee as a 4 oz heritage serve, finely ground and prepared slowly. Our coffee is roasted in Istanbul, and the founder’s family link to Turkish coffee craft dates to 1958. We open daily at 7 AM.
What makes Turkish coffee different from espresso?
Turkish coffee uses a very fine powder brewed slowly in a small pot and served unfiltered, so the grounds settle in the cup. Espresso forces water through a fine grind under pressure for a short, concentrated shot with crema. Turkish coffee is fuller and thicker; espresso is sharper and quicker.
Is Turkish coffee the same as Arabic coffee?
No. Turkish coffee is dark, very finely ground and served unfiltered with foam on top. Arabic coffee (qahwa) is typically lightly roasted and often spiced with cardamom. MRJADE serves Turkish coffee; Arabic qahwa isn’t on our menu.
How do you drink Turkish coffee properly?
Take a sip of water first, then let the cup rest a minute so the grounds settle. Sip slowly, starting with the foam, and stop when you reach the thick layer at the bottom; the grounds stay in the cup.
Can I choose how sweet my Turkish coffee is?
Traditionally, Turkish coffee is ordered by sweetness, from sade (plain) to şekerli (sweet), because sugar is added while it brews rather than afterwards. Ask our team at the counter how you’d like yours when you order.
Why is Turkish coffee important culturally?
In 2013, UNESCO inscribed Turkish coffee culture and tradition on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, describing it as a symbol of hospitality, friendship and refinement, typically served in small cups with a glass of water.
Where is MRJADE’s coffee roasted?
In Istanbul, combining traditional methods with modern control of temperature, duration and roast development. See from farm to cup for the full journey from origin to Burj Crown.
What is MRJADE’s connection to Turkish coffee?
Founder Jade Sen was born in Düsseldorf in 1977 to a Turkish family, and his grandfather’s Turkish coffee craftsmanship dates back to 1958. That heritage runs through the brand, from Istanbul roasting to the Turkish Coffee on our menu. Read more in the founder story.
Can I get Turkish coffee to take away?
It’s best enjoyed sitting down, since the grounds need a minute to settle and it’s meant to be sipped slowly. If you’re in a hurry, an Espresso or Americano travels better. See our takeaway coffee guide.
What are MRJADE’s opening hours?
We open daily at 7 AM and close at 11 PM Sunday to Thursday and at midnight on Friday and Saturday. Public holidays can change this, so check our Google Business listing before you travel in.
