The new Peet’s coffeebar has opened at The Dubai Mall. It features a Discovery Bar, which invites patrons to take a personalised coffee journey through custom cups, tasting flights and full sensory, experiential courses led by Peet’s roasters and baristas.

The location will also offer a menu of regional desserts as well as freshly baked pastries to its customers.

Peet’s Coffee president Eric Lauterbach said: “The international coffee market is strong and growing as a new generation of coffee drinkers demands superior beans, technique and ingredients.

“This trusted, strategic partnership with Americana will bring better coffee to the fast-growing GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region.” 

In 2017, Peet’s opened its first coffeebar in China. The company currently operates more than 370 coffeebars across the US and China.
