Scarab Coffee

What Scarab Coffee does

Scarab Coffee is a Dubai-based specialty coffee roastery, coffee bar, and innovation hub operating from Warehouse 20, JAMS Logistics Building, Al Doha Street, Al Qusais Industrial First. Founded around 2014 with 6 employees, the company combines an in-house production roastery, a walk-in retail café, and a curated e-commerce storefront (scarabme.com) selling single-origin beans, prepared beverages, equipment, and drinkware to UAE consumers, while also serving B2B wholesale and private-label customers across the GCC. Its core technology stack centers on Typhoon Roasters (100% convection roasting equipment), Roest AI-powered sample roasters, and Cropster roasting intelligence software for real-time data and roast profiling; it uses a proprietary orange-for-filter / blue-for-espresso color-coded brew system to simplify customer selection. Scarab generates revenue across five streams: direct retail of coffee beans, in-café drinks and food, B2B wholesale subscriptions for cafés and hospitality operators, equipment and drinkware resale (including Roest, Gina, Ni Wares, and AVENSI/Icosa lines), and event services such as cupping sessions, workshops, and brand collaborations. The company targets two primary customer segments — coffee enthusiasts and home brewers (D2C) and cafés, hospitality operators, and B2B businesses (wholesale) — supported by event organizers and specialty coffee retail consumers as secondary segments.
