had the pleasure of visiting Notes Cafe in Abu Dhabi and I must say it was a delightful experience. The coffee shop has a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a quick catch-up with friends or even for a solo coffee break.

There was no parking available, and my wife was waiting in the car while I quickly stepped in to use the restroom. She was planning to order an iced coffee right after. The unnecessary confrontation by the staff was disappointing, especially considering my wife is a regular customer here.
We expected a more courteous approach, not an argument over something that could have been handled more politely...
