The word “Coffee” in English, and “Café” in French originated from the word “qahwa” in Arabic, where the coffee original source came from.
The culture of Coffeehouses became popular in the 15th Century in the Middle East, during the Ottoman Empire. People gather over a cup of coffee, have conversations, discuss stories and news, play games and listen to music. These were places where artists, scholars, traders gathered to share knowledge, discuss and debate.
The Ottomans spread the culture of Coffeehouses to Europe, and then globally.
Highlighting that Dubai is a Multicultural place, Coffee culture connect us together, regardless of where you are from, the coffee house brings the community together.
At the Optimist Café, we aim to continue this ancient tradition of coffeehouses as a place to bring our diverse Dubai Community together, where people share their stories over a cup of coffee.

Central American Adventure
Our curiosity to know more about this amazing coffee (where it came from, how it was grown and harvested etc.) set us on an adventure to Central America and we visited Guatemala, Costa Rica, and El Salvador, where we immersed ourselves in their coffee culture.
Learning from the Farmers
We spent time on coffee plantations, learning from the farmers and producers who have dedicated their lives cultivating high-quality coffee beans. Their stories and passion inspired us deeply.
Learning and Development
We continued our journey to understand the Coffee Culture from countries around the world by visiting different specialty Coffees and Roasters in the Americas, Europe, South Africa and the Middle East. We have expanded our knowledge by taking entering coffee courses. We have become SCA certified and are still learning about coffee and the coffee industry.
