That famous carrot cake. Have you tasted it? Right here at The Lime Tree Cafe in Dubai it’s a legend.
The Lime Tree Cafe isn’t just a cafe. It’s a Dubai institution. It opened its doors in Jumeirah in 2001. Since then it’s become known for its healthy and delicious food. Its commitment to sustainability is also remarkable.

These bags decompose quickly. They’ve consistently improved their practices over the years. They removed plastic from their salad pots and cold drink cups in 2009. Their retail cookie bags became fully compostable in 2018. They even eliminated straws in 2018 switching to paper. Their commitment extends to their offices too. They use filtered water to eliminate plastic bottles. Excess food is donated to avoid waste.
Beyond the commitment to sustainability The Lime Tree Cafe is a supporter of fair trade. Since 2006 they’ve used only organic and fair-trade tea and coffee. This ensures fair wages for farmers. Their suppliers also support communities and charities in Ethiopia and Sri Lanka. The Lime Tree Cafe also encourages customers to order larger quantities less often. This reduces the number of deliveries. They educate customers to bring their own cups for takeaway beverages. Staff are fully trained on the sustainability policy.
