Stomping Grounds

Stomping Grounds is a family run, Australian style cafe in a Jumeirah 1 villa, and it grew out of the coffee training campus its owner Ryan Godinho set up in 2015 so customers could finally taste the work being taught. The same villa still houses the Specialty Batch team, Dubai's roaster and equipment specialists.

The coffee is roasted locally and poured with two or three single origins on rotation alongside exclusive Gesha lots. It has been a Jumeirah regular for years, a place where staff are trained in house and educating customers is still part of the mission.
