Weekdays
Coffee and a story, cardamom and dignity, conversation and a tale.
Every home has a dish
… and every dish has a story. In your home, there may be a recipe that only your mother gets just right, a dish your family is known for, a local product made with love, or farm produce you want to bring to more people. Whatever you would like to share, we would love to discover it and hear the story behind it.

We cater. Majlis gatherings, weddings, corporate mornings and Ramadan tables — we bring the qahwa, the dates and the sweets to you, and we serve them ourselves.

Hatta, for the winter
Two weekends in the hills with the full qahwa service, the date pudding, and a brew bar running from sunrise. Bring a jacket — the mornings are colder than Dubai thinks they are.
