The heritage Moroccan brand, founded in 1910, is bringing its exceptional savoir-faire and experience of 100% Arabica to coffee drinkers in Abu Dhabi.
Legendary coffee brand Bacha Coffee, founded in Marrakech in 1910, 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.
