These are running coffee shops and cafes for sale in Dubai, each listed with its asking price, area and key details. A coffee shop is normally sold with its fit-out, espresso machine and grinders, kitchen and display equipment, the shop lease and the trade licence, and sometimes with the brand, recipes and trained baristas.
Asking prices on businessfinder.me range from AED 250,000 to AED 600,000, median AED 425,000, based on 4 listings with a stated price (updated November 2026).
Fit-out quality and location do most of the work in a cafe, so compare those as well as the price. Ask for monthly sales and the average bill, the rent and remaining lease term, the food permit and seating approvals in place, delivery-app sales and ratings, and whether the brand name and social media accounts are part of the sale.

Unlock with PremiumBased on 4 current listings on BusinessFinder.me, asking prices for a coffee business range from AED 250,000 to AED 600,000, with a typical (median) price of about AED 250,000. Price depends mainly on location, monthly revenue, remaining lease, fit-out condition and whether the trade licence and staff visas transfer with the sale.
Right now most coffee listings are in Al Mizhar, Barsha Heights (Tecom), Al Barsha 1 and Cedre Villas. Footfall, rent and the surrounding residential or office population vary a lot between areas, so compare the lease terms and monthly sales of each listing, not just the asking price.
There are currently 4 coffee listings (updated November 2026). New businesses are added daily by owners and brokers. You can see them all at https://businessfinder.me/search-result/?ad_title=coffee.
Check the trade licence and tenancy contract (Ejari) are valid and transferable, ask for at least 6–12 months of sales records and bank statements, confirm there are no unpaid fines, rent or supplier debts, and visit at different times of day to verify footfall. Sign a written sale agreement, transfer the licence through the DED or free zone authority, and release payment only once the transfer is complete. Our Buying a Business Guide covers each step: https://businessfinder.me/safe-business-transfer-guide/.
Usually the current trade licence, the tenancy contract (Ejari), Emirates IDs and passports of buyer and seller, a signed sale or assignment agreement, the landlord's no-objection letter, and any activity approvals (for example municipality or health permits). The authority that issued the licence (DED, or the free zone) confirms the exact list.

Usually the espresso machine, grinders, fridges, display counters, furniture and the full fit-out. Check the model and age of the espresso machine and whether any equipment is leased from a coffee supplier.
Only if the listing and the sale agreement say so. Ask whether the trade name, logo, delivery-app accounts and social media accounts transfer, as they can carry much of the customer base.
Usually yes, because the fit-out and rent are lower, but seating allows a higher average bill. Compare monthly profit rather than the asking price alone.
