Icons Coffee is a German Brand that made its proper appearance in Dubai recently. Their first facade in Souq Al Bahr is now replaced by a more spacious outlet that is now located in the World Trade Centre Apartments. The German chain is known for its luxury, and lifestyle coffee shop. The outlet fit out also portrays the same with simple and elegant toned colors. Well when I mean lifestyle, I totally mean healthy lifestyle.
The brand offers sugar-free confectioneries/pastries and beverages with the use of the natural zero-calorie sweetener stevia. Stevia is a leafy plant which originates mainly from South America. Unlike a low calorie sweeter, this replacement is known for its strong and sweet flavor. This popularly used plant provides numerous health benefits to our body. Even the coffee beans and tea are a 100% organic. Therefore, a genuine lifestyle chain. The menu does not stop there, but like any other coffee shop, they offer light sandwiches, salads, muffins and other quick bites. I was invited to the launch of their DWTC outlet. As mentioned the outlet was spacious with the perfectly set up ambiance for a coffee shop. However, parking was an issue. They showcased some of the finest cakes on their menu and brewed one of the world's most expensive coffee beans. The presentation of the dessert was the major highlight. It made every dessert look irresistible. The major desserts were the Macadamia Brownie & Carrot Cake. |

The freshly baked Macadamia Brownies were prepared from macadamia nuts, sugar free chocolate, milk, butter and stevia. Thus, it had the health board of desserts which are glutton free and sugar free. The brownie was baked perfectly with the apt moisture and texture. Indeed, it was very light as well.
My favorite among the desserts was the Carrot Cake. The ingredients used to prepare the batter were grated carrots, eggs, almond powder, lemon juice, orange zest, vanilla bean, and cinnamon with a touch of olive oil. The cake was then served with the finest cream cheese frosting. The ingredients look numerous and confusing, however, the taste was simple and very satisfying.
For drinks, I tried the Mocca frappe. The taste was very relishing with strong flavors of ground beans, it was creamy and nice. This too was light and refreshing.
