Shakespeare And Co. Is Closing Down All Branches Across The UAE
In the ever-changing Dubai scene, change is a constant. But sometimes, when a place we’ve loved for years says goodbye, it hits differently.
According to Gulf News, the Shakespeare and Co. iconic café chain has shut its doors, stirring up major nostalgia in residents
Shakespeare and Co., a Dubai faveeee, wasn’t just a café; it was a haven. Established in 2001, it had over 35 branches, each oozing Victorian charm, dishing out amazing food, and serving with a smile.
The closure left a gap in the hearts of its loyal customers. An official statement about the closure is still pending, but the community is united in one thing – they’ll deeply miss this cherished spot.

Residents celebrated everything from birthdays and other milestones to hosting business meetings at the cafe. It was versatile and a real community hub…
A Lovin Dubai team member recalled a fond memory at the Victorian-styled cozy cafe,
“I can’t believe it’s shutting down! This was the first breakfast place I remember eating at when I moved to Dubai 10 years ago… I wish they had given us a pre-warning so I could visit one last time”
Another customer reminisced about their “delectable vegan pastries and the sophisticated menu”.
