FNND is initiating a monthly coffee club in Dubai – the Sabado Coffee Club.

Sabado Coffee Club was born out of a desire to raise the standards of Saturdays by attracting like-minded people who love coffee, food and flavours. Every first Saturday of the month Sabado Coffee Club will play host to a selection of fantastically dazzling coffees flown in by speciality roasters from around the world… some famous roasters, some new kids on the block and occasionally some Middle Eastern ones too.

The set up is simple:

take the best coffees from around the world

cup (taste) them all

vote the best

brew it up

You don’t need to have any specialist knowledge and each month we will give a quick class on cupping (tasting) coffee. Sabado Coffee Club is very informal and relaxed – it starts at 12 noon and lasts as long as people wish to be there, so turn up with a sore head, turn up without any sleep, turn up late or in your pyjamas… just turn up.

The cost is 25AED per person.

Sabado‘s first meet up will take place from 12 noon Saturday 3rd May, at the Garden Center’s Roseleaf cafe (just off Sheikh Zayed road)… location here
