About Cafe Barbera - Dubai Mall

The history of Caffe Barbera begins back in 1870 when Domenico Barbera decided to settle in Southern Italy and begin producing coffee with a small handcrafted roasting machine. His native Northern Italian industriousness and diligence, combined with the cheerfulness typical of his adopted South, soon led to a thriving business. Domenico the coffee wizard, as he was known locally, watched his family and business grow together. His first roasting machine, called the Tornado, was capable of toasting 30 kilos of coffee at one time and became his pride and joy. Unfortunately in 1903 Domenico Barbera the coffee wizard passed away unexpectedly from illness. Yet, he had enough time to hand down his art and passion to his children.
