Bacha Coffee Unveils its Inaugural Location in Abu Dhabi at The Galleria Mall Legendary coffee brand Bacha Coffee is on a world tour, and has landed in the heart of Abu Dhabi at The Galleria Mall. This iconic destination seamlessly bridges a rich heritage, luxury and innovation, making it a fitting choice for the debut of Bacha Coffee in Abu Dhabi. Occupying an expanse of over 129 square metres, the latest in the legacy will bring Abu Dhabi a boutique and takeaway concept all within a single captivating space.

A Legacy Juxtaposed Between Past and Future

Step into the Bacha Coffee Boutique and awaken your senses. More than a boutique, an intriguing world of 100% Arabica unfolds, where colourful walls lined with ochre-hued canisters illuminate from floor to ceiling, beckoning you to explore the pleasures of the finest harvests and tantalising aromas filling the air.

Following the seductive aromas, guests’ senses are awakened to the boutique’s intricate décor and spirited atmosphere. Here, guests may travel through their cups back to the Dar el Bacha palace in Marrakech, where the magical spell of the original Bacha Coffee location was first cast in 1910. White and black chequered marbled floors gleam against beautifully designed wooden-latticework counters, reminiscent of the beautiful flooring and counters of the palace.  Beautiful framed photographs capturing images from a bygone era in Morocco, adorn the boutique and serve as a reminder of the heritage and legacy of the origins of Bacha Coffee – a time where coffees sourced from all over the world were presented to guests in a vibrant coffee room, enjoyed by the greatest cultural and political elites of the century.

“Bacha Coffee is the product of a rich legacy and a brand that has ripened since 1910, mastering the art of refined living where coffee takes center stage. There is a great complementarity with our Abu Dhabi debut at The Galleria Mall, where guests can embark on a unique experience that seamlessly blends heritage with innovation while igniting their imaginations within a captivating space that transcends time and place,” says Taha Bouqdib, President & CEO of V3 Gourmet. “Enter Bacha Coffee and awaken your senses to a world unlike any other.”

World’s Finest Arabica Beans, Exquisitely Crafted

Guests are invited to explore over 200 varieties of 100% Arabica in the Boutique, each bean hand-selected from Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia. Going beyond tradition, Bacha Coffee has masterfully re-imagined Arabica coffees with four different types of coffees: Single Origin (beans originating from a single farm or estate), Fine Blended (a mix of two or more Single Origin beans), Fine Flavoured (using 100% natural oils and extracts to create flavours such as chocolate and strawberries) and Naturally CO2 Decaffeinated coffees (using carbon dioxide and the purest and most state-of-the-art method to decaffeinated coffees). Only the ripest beans are carefully selected and meticulously slow roasted in small batches by hand, in order to bring out the best aromas of each bean. The Bacha Coffee Boutique is full of the intoxicating aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans, enticing you to begin a journey of discovery, a mesmerising adventure that goes beyond just taste, beyond coffee, but to another world.

Extend the Bacha Coffee experience to your home with beautifully packaged coffees, accessories, gourmet treats, and hampers. Enjoy Single Origin, Fine Blended, Fine Flavoured, and Naturally CO2 Decaffeinated varieties in whole or ground beans, or the well-favoured Coffee Bag Gift Box collection. Each Coffee Bag Gift Box includes 12 individually wrapped, air-tight, single-serve pour-over coffee bags containing 12g of 100% Arabica, each expertly dosed to ensure a perfectly prepared brew. Specially designed to enjoy coffee at home, the office or on the go, you only need 3 minutes, a coffee mug, and hot water to achieve the perfect pour-over. Savour the Magic Istanbul Coffee with notes of green almonds, or the Milano Morning Coffee with hints of bitter chocolates and sweet notes of melting brioche. Adventurous palates can explore an assortment of flavours with the Explorer Coffee Bag Taster, with a variety of 100% Arabica coffees in 25 single-serve bags or enjoy the rare Grand Moka Matari Coffee from Yemen in the beautiful golden packaging from the Signature Nomad Collection.

Beyond the Boutique, Delectable Takeaway Coffees and Delights Await

Before leaving, guests are encouraged to visit the Takeaway Counter to savour over 200 coffees prepared in Bacha Coffee’s traditional manner, served either hot or iced with vanilla bean flecked Chantilly cream, a raw sugar stick, or a reusable glass straw. Complete any coffee moment on-the-go with delectable croissants, pastries or other delights to be savoured for anytime of the day.

Discover the selection of delectable croissants, from sweet to savoury, made fresh daily in-house from the finest ingredients. With ribbons of flavours such as raspberry and pistachio, the croissants have an impeccably fluffy interior and a crisp, flaky exterior, where each bite offers a rich and balanced taste. Those with a sweet palate should try the Raspberry & Cinnamon Croissant, Pistachio Croissant and the 1910 Coffee & Chocolate Croissant. Those with savoury tastebuds can try the Comte Cheese Croissant, the Tomato and Wagyu Beef Croissant, Mushroom Croissant or other delectable options.
