The Beirut-based coffee chain has opened their Dubai location in Duja Tower in the Dubai World Trade Centre Area.
The first Café Younes opened in Beirut in 1935 and since inception; the coffee chain has been a family affair. The Dubai location is run by Faysal Younes, grandson of the Founder Amin Younes, Sr. Upon entering the café, customers are greeted with the scent of freshly-ground coffee and demonstrations of the brands heritage – a wall map takes pride of place that depicts the coffee’s global origins.
The location is the perfect spot to stop and enjoy a cup of coffee, with a menu that offers a huge variety of coffee styles including Chemex, V60, Syphone, AeroPress, Cold Brew, Moka Pot and Kalita Wave as well as traditional French press and filter coffee.
Customers can also take coffee away with them – behind the serving counter sits jars of coffee beans that are labelled by country.
The brand prides themselves on pouring a perfect cup of coffee, with Faysal Younes commenting: “A perfect cup of coffee is achieved when it’s poured from the right source, is perfectly roasted to match the brewing method, is ground correctly and most important, has the right water-to-coffee ratio.”
