Boston Lane is a new cafe that has just opened in The Courtyard Dubai. It’s just opposite where Bounce is located and around the corner from\u00a0Tom & Serg. While there are numerous cafe and restaurant openings in Dubai, this one is a little bit special, and here’s why.<\/p>\n

1. It’s home grown<\/h3>\n

Founder Alexandra Davison was working with Bull&Roo in Dubai before she set this up. It’s got a lot of Australian influence (where Alexandra is from), but is very much an original concept.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2. The have real traditional milkshakes<\/h3>\n

We all love the food glory shakes<\/a> taking Dubai by storm, but you also can’t beat a traditional milkshake.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. It connects lots of designer shops at The Collective, by Ripe<\/h3>\n

It’s a cafe that brings the design shops around it together, there are about four or five, all open plan, it feels like a community, an outdoor space, such as Tribe, The Habitat Plat Shop and The Movement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4. No fuss – they don’t even have plates<\/h3>\n

Food is presented with no frills. The cheesecake comes in a paper-slip.\u00a0This place is very minimal, this has a DIY element to it. Which actually works really well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their toasties come it little paper slips too, and they are great.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
