Dome Cafe Launched


With European ambience and charm, combined with the World’s Finest Coffees and a diverse food menu with service to the table, the Dôme café experience is  now open to the people of Bahrain.

Operating in Australia since 1989, throughout Asia since 1993 and with a current strong expansion into the Middle East, Dôme Coffees now has operations in Singapore, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines & Bahrain with close to 100 locations in 10 countries to be completed by the end of 2007.

With a commitment to “think global and act local” Dôme has forged its corporate success on a customer experience built specifically around an old world European brasserie café. True to its core brand values in all locations internationally, Dôme operates with the flexibility to incorporate local market adaptations, creating menu items or translating materials as necessary to provide a relevant experience for every customer.

A perfect place to grab a quick snack or take-away coffee, or somewhere to spend some time and enjoy the unique décor and atmosphere, Dôme cafes are uniquely placed to cater for all meal and beverage needs, across all parts of the day.

 
 
 


From the time a Dôme café opens its doors early in the morning to the close of business late at night, it engenders a sense of appeal and attraction to broad range of uses within the community. From business people and those in the trades getting their first cup of coffee at the start of the day through to mother’s groups relaxing with their children in the morning, business people conducting meetings, friends catching up for coffee and cake or families enjoying a meal of old time favourite dishes at lunch or in the evening, Dôme is an inclusive place for people and families of all ages and backgrounds to dwell and enjoy.

The multinational company that is now Dôme Coffees started from humble beginnings in Perth, Western Australia in the early eighties when Phil May established Western Roast Coffee with a mission to supply only the finest quality Arabica coffees to discerning coffee drinkers.  The philosophy of this and the subsequent cafés was simple; they were serving the world’s finest coffee with a selection of quality foods. The strength of this formula was soon realised, and many new Dôme cafes opened during the following years.  The expansion has since continued not just in WA, but also in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, UAE and the Philippines. Dome Café , Bahrain is the recent addition in the list.  We plan to open close to 10 locations in Bahrain & Qatar in the years to come.
