The Magazine Shop

The Magazine Shop a café specializing not only in high quality coffee, but distinctive independent magazines // Loca We’re not selling magazines, we’re not selling coffee.

The Magazine Shop is a first for Dubai – a café specialising in high quality coffee, and high quality independent magazines. We source only the most thought-provoking, inspiring, unique, and beautifully designed magazines from around the world, curating a selection of magazines on the subjects of art, design, travel, fashion, architecture, music, film, and special interests. As a member of Brownbo

ok Magazine’s family, and a Cultural Engineering project, we are committed to promoting creative independent publishing in the Middle East. The programming at The Magazine Shop will put the space to use as a stimulating backdrop for cultural conversation. Reinforcing its role as a hub for independent publishing, events will include talks from regional publishers and writers, poetry slams, conversation club, a monthly magazine discussion club, quiz nights, and competitions in conjunction with magazines, offering writers and artists the chance to get published. Located in Gate Village 8 at DIFC, The Magazine Shop sits ideally among numerous art galleries and shops. Through an innovative annual programming, it will bring a new type of space to a city with a thirst for creativity. It will build a diverse customer base, with whom we can enter into a dialogue on the environment for and future of independent magazine publishing. All the coffee at The Magazine Shop is from Raw Coffee, an ethical company that imports superior coffee beans from fairly treated farmers. With the support of Raw Coffee, our baristas undergo intensive training, so that we can be confident customers will love the beverage they receive. With sandwiches, pastries, and snacks also available, customers will be encouraged to spend a leisurely hour or two at The Independent Magazine Café, getting lost in a lovingly made magazine. We’re selling culture.

Happy to announce our fourth Faces of the UAE event!! https://www.facebook.com/events/849528711754904/

Every month, we choose a new photographer who we love in Dubai to show us glimpses of life here and the people that make it.

Ammar Al Attar, a UAE native, uses photography to archive the changes he sees around him, and to keep record of the visual history of his surroundings. He captures places and people with their originality and humble habits still in tact.
