Joud Coffee

Joud Coffee is a homegrown Emirati specialty coffee company founded in 2015. It opened its first cafe in Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi, and has since grown to 15 locations across Abu Dhabi and Dubai, employing more than 160 people. The company operates neighbourhood cafes, roasts its own beans, and runs hospitality, culinary and wholesale services.

Its cafes serve specialty drinks alongside food and pastries, and each location is designed with its own distinctive character. Behind the counter, coffee is roasted in small batches at an in-house facility in Abu Dhabi, using beans sourced through ethical and sustainable direct-trade partnerships with growers and traders worldwide. Wholesale coffee services supply other businesses as part of the company's wider coffee and hospitality offering.

The stated mission is to delight customers and unite communities with every cup, with an ambition to become a proud emblem of the Arab world through excellence in coffee, service and community spirit. Work across the business spans small-batch roasting, direct-trade sourcing, cafe operations and hospitality, culinary and pastry preparation, and wholesale services.
