Orijins — Restaurant in Dubai

This place is amazing, the interior is so beautiful, the location is great, its the only speciality coffee in DIFC, they have amazing selection of sweet and savory bites. The coffee is just great.

But, in my recent visits i have chosen the couches because they are comfier than the wooden chairs. I have noticed that the staff keep watching me and my friends all the time, it felt uncomfortable, then one of them asked us not to put our coffee on the couch, it was weird but we said okay we’re not planning to put the coffee on it anyway, its not something we would do.

In my next visit. They were really rude, The lady was also watching us the whole time, she impolitely came and moved my handbag from the couch and placed it on a chair. I told her i will move it myself, she ignored me and moved all the other bags as well. Then one of the staff came and ask me not to put coffee on the couch again. We said we were not planning to, its not a normal thing to do...... it really started to get annoying every now and then they come to check on the couch. I wanted to get something out of my bag so i grabbed it from the chair and put it next to me, then the lady came impolitely to move it again and put it back on the chair. No one is allowed to touch my belongings whatsoever, i was really annoyed and i told her ill move it myself, she said impolitely this is a white couch don’t put anything on it.

It was busy, we didn’t wanna make it a big deal.

I believe that the guests are not kids. I also believe that i have visited a coffee shop not a furniture store. And they are not allowed to touch my belongings without my permission. It felt like they were waiting for us to leave. Most annoying staff ever.

Place them as a decoration if you’re too scared and stop annoying your guests. It was unpleasant experience, i have contacted the cafe through dm on Instagram they have ignored my messages on purpose, obviously 🙄

I’m not sure i’ll be visiting this place again specially after my last visit. 👎🏻 got same review from a random friend on social media that the place is beautiful but the staff are mean. Another friend of mine told me exactly the same...

As a reviewer, I believe in sharing honest feedback to benefit both businesses and fellow customers. It's our responsibility to express our perspectives to help businesses improve their services and to guide others in making informed choices, especially in today's fast-paced world where time is a precious commodity.

Now, let's talk about Orijins Coffee House. While it's labeled as a brand rather than a cafe or lounge, it still creates an expectation of a relaxing coffee house experience. However, Orijins Coffee House falls short in delivering that sense of comfort. They discourage photography, and there's an odd sense of silence that doesn't quite match the lively vibe one might anticipate in a coffee house. It's a bit perplexing, as it seems to go against the essence of what a coffee house should be.

Perhaps it's the patrons who contribute to this atmosphere, but it's not the usual vibe you'd anticipate in such places.

On the plus side, Orijins Coffee House excels in creative decoration, which adds a unique touch to the ambiance. The coffee they serve is of good quality, although prices are slightly on the higher side.

In conclusion, Orijins Coffee House has its strengths and weaknesses. While the aesthetics and coffee quality are commendable, the atmosphere leaves something to be desired. I'm giving it three stars because it has its merits...

TLDR: Amazing coffee for take away, but no wifi and they are very sensitive about their couch, which was an uncomfortable experience.

I'm sure this is a five start coffee shop if you are getting coffee/a dessert to go. The quality of the coffee is extremely high and the baristas are extremely knowledgeable. However, two experiences lessened the experience for us today, and we will not be returning back to dine in. Although there is wifi at the location, they do not share the wifi password with customers. I was told that the wifi is only for the system, so this is probably direction given by the owner so that folks don't stick around for long. We were sitting on the couch, and we were told multiple times to readjust ourselves/our food so that it does not touch the couch. Once, my friend's sneaker was touching the couch, and the next time, she had placed her plate next to her on the couch. They even picked up my closed water bottle that I had put next to me on the couch and placed it on the table instead. I understand that the staff is trying to keep the couch clean. However, I do the above three things even on my own couch at my own house. Further, the couch is a public couch in a coffee shop. If there is this amount of sensitivity to the couch, which made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable, then maybe the coffee shop should utilize other, less...
