What is included
A fit out company for villas, apartments, offices and shops, building ceilings, partitions, joinery, flooring and finishes with its own trades. Most fit out delays in Dubai come from permits, building access rules and trades waiting on each other. We identify the approvals your building, master developer or the authorities ask for at the site visit, prepare that paperwork, and run every trade under one supervisor to a written programme.
- Counter drawn around the coffee machine and under counter fridges
- Water supply, filter position and floor drain agreed before joinery
- Washable wall finish and non slip floor behind the counter
- Landlord and food premises submissions prepared as asked
How we carry out cafe and coffee shop fit out
A cafe is mostly one piece of joinery, so the counter is drawn first, to the equipment your supplier specifies. Each machine has its own needs: a water feed and waste for the espresso machine, ventilation gaps for the fridges, a dedicated circuit for the oven. Services are run in the floor or the back wall before the counter carcass arrives. Tops are in stone, solid surface or stainless steel, the customer face in whatever finish the design calls for, and seating joinery goes in last.
Counters fail from the inside. Chipboard carcasses swell where a drip tray leaks, and fridges packed in without airflow trip in a Dubai summer when the shopfront door is open all day. In malls and towers the landlord fit out guide sets the shopfront line, the signage zone and the hours when materials may use the service lift. Which approvals a place serving food and drink needs, from the landlord and from the authorities, is settled at the site visit so the counter is not drawn twice.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.

Cafe and Coffee Shop Fit Out in Dubai Marina & JBR: what we plan for
Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence form a high rise waterfront district. Towers line the marina canal, and JBR runs along the beach in six clusters: Sadaf, Shams, Amwaj, Bahar, Murjan and Rimal.
Salt and humidity from the sea mark balcony glass and railings, and wind at height carries fine dust into apartments through balcony doors and AC systems. Sea air corrodes balcony AC units and fittings, so coils and drains are checked at every service.
Almost every tower requires a work permit from building management, a service lift booking and proof of insurance. Working hours are restricted, and noisy work is not allowed on some days.

Questions about cafe and coffee shop fit out in Dubai Marina & JBR
What does cafe and coffee shop fit out include?
Coffee shop fit out from counter to seating: the bar is built around the machine, grinder, sink and fridge positions, with water, waste and power brought to each one. The work includes counter drawn around the coffee machine and under counter fridges; water supply, filter position and floor drain agreed before joinery; washable wall finish and non slip floor behind the counter.
Does a small coffee shop need a kitchen extract?
That depends on what is cooked. A menu of coffee and items warmed in a small oven is treated differently from one with frying or grilling. We go through your menu and equipment list on site and confirm with the landlord what the unit allows.
Can you build the counter before we have chosen the coffee machine?
It is better to wait. The machine, the grinders and the fridges set the counter height, the cut outs and the service points, and changing them after the top is made means remaking it. A confirmed equipment list is the first thing we ask for.
How much does cafe and coffee shop fit out cost in Dubai Marina & JBR?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
