Coffee for night-shift teams and 24-hour operations in Dubai
Night shifts do not stop when the café closes. Hospitals, logistics hubs, security desks, contact centres and data centres run through the night, and the people on those shifts want something hot at three in the morning as much as anyone does. This page is for shift supervisors, facilities teams, HR and office managers in Dubai. It sets out which ROAST cafés never close, the hours of the others, which flasks and trays we publish for a shift, and how to work out the cost.
Prices as published on our corporate catering cost page on 9 October 2026, ex 5% VAT. Opening hours as published on our 24-hour café page.

Which cafés are open when
Only two ROAST cafés never close. Everything else has set hours, so a shift that crosses 11 PM or 1 AM cannot rely on the others. Hours as published:
| Café | Hours |
|---|---|
| Deira, Business Village | Open 24 hours, every day |
| Dubai Silicon Oasis | Open 24 hours, every day |
| Dubai Marina | Daily 7 AM to 1 AM |
| Sheikh Zayed Road, Blue Tower | Daily 7 AM to 11 PM |
| Dubai Science Park | Monday to Friday 7 AM to 7 PM, Saturday 8 AM to 5 PM, closed Sunday |
Teams close to Deira or Dubai Silicon Oasis can walk in at any hour; a karak is AED 14 dine-in. See the 24-hour cafés in Dubai page, the 24-hour karak in Deira page and coffee and karak in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Our sister brand also publishes a page on karak for night-shift teams.
What to order for a shift
Published rates, before 5% VAT. Flasks and trays are the simplest format for a night crew because they stay hot and need no one to serve them.
| Situation | What fits | Published price |
|---|---|---|
| Small crew, one pot on the table | Karak or saffron chai flask, 1L (about six cups) | from AED 40 / AED 44 |
| Crew that prefers coffee | Specialty filter-coffee flask, 1L (about six cups) | from AED 65 |
| Arabic coffee for a shift change or a visiting delegation | Arabic gahwa flask with dates | from AED 55 |
| Ten cups poured at once, such as a briefing | Karak tray, 10 cups (samosa pav extra) | from AED 250 |
| A planned all-hands or training night, 8 people or more | Coffee Break, Working Breakfast or Full Meeting Day, per head | from AED 45 / AED 55 / AED 95 |
Flasks by team size
A flask is about six cups. Count the cups, divide by six and round up. For a long night, plan two cups each. Karak flask at AED 40, before delivery and 5% VAT.
| Night team | One cup each | Two cups each |
|---|---|---|
| 6 people | 1 flask: AED 40 | 2 flasks: AED 80 |
| 12 people | 2 flasks: AED 80 | 4 flasks: AED 160 |
| 18 people | 3 flasks: AED 120 | 6 flasks: AED 240 |
| 30 people | 5 flasks: AED 200 | 10 flasks: AED 400 |
Worked example: a 30-person night shift
A night team of 30 takes five karak flasks and two filter-coffee flasks for one shift. Using published rates only:
| Line | Calculation | AED |
|---|---|---|
| Karak flasks, 1L | 5 x 40 | 200 |
| Specialty filter-coffee flasks, 1L, from | 2 x 65 | 130 |
| Subtotal, before VAT, from | 330 | |
| VAT at 5% | 16.50 | |
| Total with VAT, from | 346.50 |
