Specialty Batch Coffee

Specialty Batch Coffee is the Dubai roastery from Ryan Godinho — an Australian entrepreneur the local industry openly credits with bringing specialty coffee to the UAE. The "He Brought Specialty Coffee to DUBAI?!" interview on Apple Podcasts isn't an exaggeration; Ryan helped shape the third-wave story here from its earliest days.

The roastery runs on a simple promise: roast fresh every week and deliver across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The bean range covers blends and rotating single-origins, with online ordering as a primary channel and select café partners pouring Specialty Batch beans across the city.

Specialty Batch is the producer side of Ryan's two-brand story (the brunch-flagship Stomping Grounds is the consumer-facing café). For specialty drinkers, the roastery is where the real coffee craft lives — the part where the beans are chosen, the roast curves dialled in, and the wholesale partnerships built.
