Iconic coffee specialist % Arabica has continued its domination of the UAE’s coffee culture and opened a spacious and beautiful new branch at Al Seef Village Abu Dhabi, the vibrant lifestyle destination in the heart of the UAE capital.

The empire’s seventh location in Abu Dhabi and its 15th in the UAE, the speciality coffee brand was founded in Japan and it has now spread to 19 different countries in every corner of the globe, with 126 stores worldwide.

On a mission to invite people of all nationalities and throughout every country to ‘See the World Through Coffee’, % Arabica is committed to quality. Specialising in premium varieties of coffee, % Arabica is renowned for serving the world’s finest coffee beans, and making perfect, yet simple, barista brews. % Arabica sources largely from small farms, serving their unique blend, as well as single-origin beans from around the world. Customers are encouraged to buy their coffee beans roasted fresh every week from their local % Arabica store, as these best highlights their coffee’s flavour and profile and quality.

The select and carefully curated beverage menu spans espresso-based coffees, speciality lattes, drip coffees, matcha, cold press juices and classic lemonade.  

Presenting a chic and minimalist interior and Japanese-inspired ambiance that’s reminiscent of Kyoto, the founders’ hometown, it also offers a choice of delicious pastries, sandwiches and other sweet treats. The Al Seef Village store also is one of the few stores nationwide that offers % Arabica’s signature, coffee flavoured soft serve.

 Founder Kenneth Soji launched the brand out of a desire to live a simple and down-to-earth lifestyle that also allowed him to travel and see the world. Since launching in Japan in September 2014, its charming and unpretentious concept has won over the hearts of countless coffee lovers around the world.

Providing the perfect spot to unwind and watch the world go by through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the bright and vibrant new % Arabica at Al Seef Village Mall has launched just in time to celebrate International Coffee Day, coming up on Saturday, October 1.

About % Arabica

% Arabica was founded by Kenneth Shoji in 2013, and opened it’s global flagship store in Kyoto, Japan in 2014, and has since gained a devoted following thanks to its exceptional coffee and simple, timeless store design. Famous for its iconic locations worldwide, % Arabica rapidly expanded globally with locations in now 19 countries in Asia, Europe and Middle East and over 126 stores.

Shoji was inspired to start % Arabica after realising he wanted an amazing cup of coffee every day—with equally amazing customer experience. To learn the coffee business, he purchased a coffee farm in Hawaii, started a green bean trading company, exported Japanese coffee roasting machines and then became a distributor for Slayer. With this experience under his belt, he launched % Arabica, led by his vision to grow the brand across the world - which is reflected in the % Arabica motto, “See the World Through Coffee.”
