#MyDubai: Fancy A Cuppa At The Coffee Museum?
Stepping over the threshold of a smaller than average wooden door, the first thing that hits me is the smell. There’s no mistaking the familiar depth and richness of coffee.
It is said that coffee originated in Yemen and spread to the rest of Arabian Peninsula when a clergyman offered the drink to an ailing seaman on a trade ship. The drink was said to immediately take effect and cured him. It didn’t take long for this port town to captivate the rest of the world with its bitter, rich flavour and golden colour.
What better way to explore this magical elixir than at the coffee museum tucked away in a quiet corner of Bastakiya, a visual and olfactory delight to both the coffee enthusiast and the occasional coffee drinker.
The decor by itself, practically invites you to take a seat and savour this drink with all its history and significance and that’s exactly what I did.
