Nightjar Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee operation based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with its roastery situated inside the Alserkal Avenue arts and culture district. Founded by a self-described crew of counterculture devotees, the company operates three eatery concepts across the city alongside its roasting and craft beverage activities. Nightjar is noted for serving award-winning all-day breakfasts and real food until late, with a rotating lineup of vinyl selectors performing on a dedicated sound system. The brand positions itself as energetic and anti-pretentious, explicitly distancing itself from slow, overly ceremonial coffee culture. In addition to its café and food concepts, Nightjar offers wholesale and franchising services, retail coffee products, cold brew, merchandise, and home barista equipment through its online shop. The company describes its approach to specialty coffee as unpretentious, community-oriented, and grounded in broader creative and counterculture values.
