As the new year begins, NETTE and CASSETTE, two of Dubai’s cherished homegrown cafés, are redefining wellness through mindful dining and vibrant community spaces. These culinary gems, nestled in the heart of Al Quoz, invite diners to embark on a journey of health-conscious indulgence, making every meal a celebration of balance and creativity.

NETTE: Where French Elegance Meets Japanese Flair

Located amidst the tranquil MATCHA Club in Al Quoz, NETTE invites diners to indulge in French Japanese-inspired dishes that are as nourishing as they are delicious. With its serene atmosphere and lush greenery, NETTE is not only a destination for feel-good dining but also a tranquil retreat for those seeking a peaceful spot to work or recharge.

Curated by South African Chef Shaunne Cordier, the menu offers a refreshing take on wellness dining. Highlights include the Miso Benedict, Japanese Inspired Avocado Toast, and the indulgent Miso Braised Beef French Dip Sandwich. For those with a sweet tooth, the Matcha Pain Perdu stands out – a delightful creation of brioche soaked in matcha custard, served with maple sesame brûlée banana, mixed berries, and matcha ice cream.

Complementing the cuisine, NETTE’s beverage menu is a haven for matcha lovers. From the creamy Matcha Smoothie to the energising Matcha Sunset – a refreshing blend of matcha and orange juice – every sip revitalises the senses and offers a refreshing boost. Caffeine aficionados can savour the Dirty Matcha, combining espresso and matcha for a bold twist. All matcha beverages are crafted using Health Nag’s premium matcha, also available to purchase in-café, along with your very own matcha making set.

Open until 10 PM, NETTE’s serene atmosphere and lush surroundings make it the perfect spot for a health-conscious start to the year, whether dining solo, gathering with loved ones, or looking for a peaceful spot to work remotely.

CASSETTE: A Creative Haven for the Community

Nestled in the heart of Al Quoz’s iconic Courtyard, CASSETTE is more than a café – it’s a lifestyle destination where art, music, and community come together. The menu, also curated by Chef Shaunne Cordier, features wholesome and hearty options, from the Big CASSETTE Breakfast with eggs, sautéed mushrooms, beef bacon, and freshly baked bread, to the CASSETTE Burger, a satisfying combination of a homemade beef patty, Red Leicester cheese, and caramelised onions. Signature dishes like the Crispy Skin Seabass with Salsa Verde and the comforting Steak Frites with Peppercorn Sauce offer something for every palate.

CASSETTE’s recent launch, the Chaga Mushroom Latte, in collaboration with UAE wellness brand New Mind is packed with antioxidants and served with creamy coconut milk. This caffeine-free drink supports overall health while offering a rich and earthy flavour with an energy boost. Other standout beverages include CASSETTE’s very own Cola, the vibrant Mango Matcha, and an array of coffee classics, from the newly introduced Got Pêsche – a peach-infused cold brew – to Americanos, Spanish Lattes, and Flat Whites, all made using CASSETTE’s Signature House Blend roasted by UAE-based specialty coffee roaster, Three Coffee.

CASSETTE’s vinyl corner offers an interactive element within its community-driven ambiance, offering guests a relaxing space to unwind through music and mindful dining. Open until 6 PM, it’s the perfect destination to connect, create, and recharge.

With a consistent commitment to quality, sustainability, and wellness, NETTE and CASSETTE are redefining the art of mindful living. Start the year on a flavourful note at these go-to destinations for nourishment, community and culinary indulgence.
