Dubai’s culinary scene continues to evolve, offering new experiences that blend traditional flavours with inventive twists. And now, at Alba Street, located in the heart of Dubai Mall’s Social Distrikt, you can indulge in the latest global drink and dessert trends straight from Japan. Launched in Spring 2025, Alba Street has quickly become the city’s go-to destination for unique, on-trend beverages and sweets, bringing a playful take on Japanese classics that will satisfy both your cravings and your Instagram feed.
Japanese Desserts and Drinks Like Never Before
Step into Alba Street, and you’ll be transported into a world of vibrant flavours that beautifully balance boldness with subtlety. Whether you’re a coffee lover, matcha enthusiast, or fan of experimental desserts, Alba Street has something to tickle every taste bud.
One of the standout offerings is the Miso Latte Coffee—a daring twist on traditional coffee. The deep umami richness of miso, combined with the smoothness of espresso, creates a uniquely satisfying beverage that’s bound to challenge your perceptions of what a latte can be.
For those seeking something more traditional, the Hojicha Latte Tea offers a delightful alternative to matcha. With its earthy and nutty tones, this roasted green tea latte provides a warming, comforting balance that feels like a cozy hug in a cup.
If you’re in the mood for something refreshing, look no further than Alba Street’s Cherry Almond Lemonade and Milk Oolong Mango Lemonade. The cherry almond lemonade is sugar-free, yet bursts with natural sweetness, while the milk oolong mango lemonade offers a creamy twist on a tropical favourite.
But it doesn’t stop there. The Pink Sakura Water, floral and subtly sweet, captures the very essence of Japan’s springtime in every sip. This refreshing drink brings a touch of elegance to your experience, making it a must-try for anyone who enjoys delicate flavours with a hint of floral beauty.
For dessert lovers, Matcha Soft Serve is a creamy, Instagram-worthy treat that’s as vibrant as it is delicious. And if you’re looking for something with a little more savoury-sweet complexity, the Miso Snickers is a playful yet irresistible bite, combining sweet, salty, and umami elements into one unforgettable snack.

While the drinks and desserts are the stars of the show, Alba Street also offers various savoury dishes that complement these innovative beverages. For a decadent bite, try the A5 Wagyu Kimchi Burger, a perfect marriage of premium beef and spicy kimchi, or the Chicken Truffle Sando, a flavour-packed sandwich that’s both indulgent and satisfying. Sushi handrolls provide the perfect light option, bursting with fresh, clean flavours that make them the ideal pairing with any of the sweet or savoury drinks.
