About us
“Dar” means “home” in Arabic and the literal meaning of “Darat al-Qahwa” is “The House of Coffee”.
Darat al-Qahwa’s history dates back to the late 1960’s with the sale of imported green beans to the local market. In 1970, the first Darat al-Qahwa opened in the “Queen’s Building” in al Balad, downtown Jeddah. It quickly became a local landmark and the most popular café in the city.
To be a leading coffee house that celebrates authentic Arabic coffee culture while delivering exceptional quality, warm hospitality, and memorable experiences in every cup. We aspire to make Dar at al-Qahwa a trusted destination where tradition meets modern lifestyle.
