Legendary coffee boutique debuts at Abu Dhabi’s The Galleria Mall

Legendary coffee brand Bacha Coffee, founded in Marrakech in 1910, has debuted at The Galleria Mall in Abu Dhabi, bringing to the UAE capital a boutique and takeaway concept – all within a single captivating space of 129 sqm.

The Bacha Coffee Boutique presents an intriguing world of 100% Arabica, where colourful walls lined with ochre-hued canisters illuminate from floor to ceiling.

The aroma will take guests back to the Dar el Bacha palace in Marrakech, where the magical spell of the original Bacha Coffee location was first cast in 1910, the company said in a statement.

White and black chequered marbled floors against wooden-latticework counters, and framed photographs capture the essence of a bygone era in Morocco.

It serves 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 centre stage,” said Taha Bouqdib, President & CEO of V3 Gourmet.

“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.”

Over 200 varieties of 100% Arabica are offered in the boutique, each bean hand-selected from Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia, he stated.

Re-imagined Arabica coffees

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).

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.
