Cafe Bateel

Confectionery brand Bateel today makes its first foray into the premium café market, with the launch of The Bateel Café, devised by Kinnersley Kent Design.
The venue, in Burj Dubai, will be the first of 30 cafés planned for the Middle East region by the end of 2008.
The luxury date and patisserie brand already has confectionery shops in locations around the world, including one on London’s Bond Street.
Kinnersley Kent was commissioned in 2005 to create the interiors for the Bond Street store, and according to head of marketing Lindie Champion, the café concept is a natural development of this work.
The retail consultancy was handed a brief to create a brand identity and café interior, as well as in-store graphics and packaging.
According to Paul McElroy, partner at Kinnersley Kent, the concept for the café is ‘contemporary European’, but retains underlying Arabic elements. Source

The Best Hot Chocolate at Segafredo Zanetti

If you are visiting Wafi Mall (Link) don't miss the hot chocolate at Segafredo Zanetti. It is the best I ever had.

Segafredo Zanetti (Link) is the undisputed leader in espresso coffee sales to the Cafe, Hotel, Restaurant and Catering sector. The quality and range of products it offers are the hallmarks of this great brand.

Segafredo Zanetti is a completely integrated company, from its own plantations in Brasil, through to green coffee trading, on to state of the art roasting facilities, and finally to thousands of coffee shops and millions of domestic consumers situated throughout Europe, as well as over 200 franchised Coffee Boutiques.

The true flavour of an Italian espresso Bar range offer you quality at competitive prices with all other coffee shops in Dubai.

Apart from my favorite hot chocolate there is an incredible range of coffees.

Extra Bar Range is the range of coffee, upon which ‘Segafredo's’ international reputation has been made, is full bodied with plenty of flavour. It includes the famous Extra Strong Blend, which is a favourite all over Europe.

Cafe Senza - decaffeinated Espresso is a superb decaffeinated espresso coffee. The caffeine is carefully washed out with hot water, a process that takes many days. This process retains all flavour, body and aroma of the coffee, which is then carefully roasted. It's available as beans or in pre-ground sachets.

Hot Ciok Luxury Chocolate Drink is easily prepared by adding to milk and cooking by steaming quickly on your espresso machine."Outstanding!" is the opinion expressed by every one tasting this powerful chocolate and I recommended to quite a few already. It's available in 1 kilo bags or individual cup sachets.

I can't say more - you have to taste it!
