Hi Ladies. Recently been diagnosed intolerant to cows (and sheeps) milk but loving camel's milk as an alternative.... Problem is eating and, more importantly, drinking - coffees - out! Can you good peeps post where you know does camels milk coffee/ yogurts/ smoothies/ etc etc, please? Tried the web, but no go, and a search here didn't turn up much (except some good insights into intolerance tests;-)

Many thanks...

Thanks Ladies...will keep a list handy. Have taken my pot of camel milk occasionally, but need to be prepared for that one! Keeping milk in one's handbag as a norm is not a pleasant consideration...;-) Will go hunting the ice cream! The Majlis sounds interesting - not come across that one before - though I am also off wheat, so cannot indulge in any cakes or even sandwiches, more's the pity. And I will try the shop at the Greens. I love camel's milk though. It really is a great alternative, as I find soya milk taints coffee (I don't mind it in smoothies or to cook with, just not coffee or on cereal). And let's not get started on the Camel's milk chocolate, or I might just have to... Thanks Ladies! Great help!

There a coffee shop in Mirdiff serving coffee with camel milk. Alternative to milk is Soya milk. Or simply take your small size camel milk with you to the coffee shop where they will make it for you. I did this with starbucks !!!! Ice cream i found it in a small shop in the old market near diera creek side . where they sell the spices and herbs. Good luck <em>edited by Gigi on 06/11/2013</em>

Like NoodleT said it's really nice. I went there for iftar in Ramadan - everything was made from camel milk - the quiche, bread, chocolate, cakes, ice-cream etc... http://www.themajlisdubai.com/ http://www.thedubaimall.com/en/Dine/dining_cafes/the-majlis.aspx

Yes there is a lovely camel milk café in Dubai Mall called Majlis. It is in the Souk area, where those big brass camels are. It's more of an open café. They do all sorts of coffee and drinks, snacks, and they sell camel milk chocolate products.

Cafe2Go (Al Murooj Rotana and SZR near Noor Islamic Bank) have camel-milk coffees and even camel-cheese sandwiches I believe; Costa Coffee have introduced camel milk, and I think I have seen it used in beverages at Mama Tani in Town Centre Jumeira (next to Mercato). There was also a camel café in Dubai Mall somewhere, not sure if it is still open. Hope this helps!

I can't help you with cafes selling camel milk products but you can buy camel milk from any supermarket. I buy camel milk quiet often from Union Coop, Mizhar. <em>edited by halfmoon on 06/11/2013</em>

Hi Perces - I haven't found any coffee shops etc that do camel milk, but if I want a latte type drink (not that often), then most chains will do you a soya-based one. Tastes fine as they use the soya mild with sugar in it (the reason they use this is that non-sweetened soya milks will curdle as soon as they hit hot liquid). If you can tolerate camel milk, then have you tried goat's milk too? That also has incredibly low lactose. The Organic shop in the Greens stocks a good range of goats and soya ice creams, and Waitrose and Lulus have a super range of goat's cheeses most of the time.
