The Moroccan-born coffee brand Bacha Coffee is expanding to Riyadh. While the official opening date hasn’t been confirmed yet, the upcoming branch will be located in Solitaire Mall, one of the city’s newest high-end destinations.
Bacha Coffee was founded in 1910 in Marrakesh, and quickly became more than just a café. It was a cultural and political meeting place for visitors from around the world — including Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, who enjoyed Arabic coffee during their time in Morocco.
After a long period of closure, the brand was revived in 2017 as a museum and in 2019 relaunched as a café concept. Today, Bacha Coffee operates globally, with locations in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Kuwait, and across Asia. The brand specialises in 100% Arabica coffee, available in a wide range of single-origin and blended options.
At the store, visitors will find not only freshly brewed cups but also packaged beans, filters, pots, and accessories.
The Riyadh branch of Bacha Coffee will open in Solitaire Mall, which spans three levels of shopping, dining, and entertainment. The mall is home to Cartier, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and even the world’s largest Balenciaga store, making it a fitting location for Bacha Coffee’s next opening. Keep an eye out — this one’s for both coffee fans and luxury retail explorers.
