Abu Dhabi’s ARC Brings Matcha & Fermented Bagels to Dubai at Casa Tasa

Come and get it while it’s hot. ARC is making its Dubai debut with a six-month residency at Casa Tasa, the city’s new rotating concept store. The Abu Dhabi-based café is the store’s first coffee vendor, serving coffee, matcha, bagels and a selection of desserts.

The residency is temporary by design. Casa Tasa plans to rotate its café partner every six months, while its retail brands will change every three months.

ARC first opened at Louvre Abu Dhabi before adding a second location in Khalifa City. Its Casa Tasa menu includes open-face bagels with avocado and labneh, yoghurt and berry granola bowls, cheesecake, iced lattes and matcha.

Beyond food and drink, Casa Tasa wants to be a ‘home for curiosity in the heart of Dubai’, combining retail with spaces for visitors to sit, sketch and spend time. Customers can decorate their coffee cups at the store’s sketch studio and add them to a wall installation, while the current retail mix includes accessories, bags, shoes and abayas.
