Our Story
Qahwa means coffee.
It's the Arabic word that gave coffee its name. We borrowed it for a café that takes both the cup and the room seriously.
Why We Built It
Chattogram has plenty of places to drink coffee. We wanted one that feels like an occasion: drinks you photograph before you sip, desserts from our own pastry kitchen, and a room built for staying a little longer.
The Room
Built for staying.
The Ceiling
Look up.
Glass tubes filled with coffee beans, moving softly above you.
The Bar
Watch it being made.
An L-shaped bar where every Cloud and latte is built in front of you.
The Arch
The best seat in the house.
A deep maroon arched niche facing our banquette, made for long conversations.
The Lounge
A room of its own.
A separate smoking lounge with high tables, so the main café stays fresh.
The People
Made by hand, every day.
Our baristas

The Wall
Our regulars, in brass.
The names on our wall belong to the people who made Qahwa theirs. Keep coming back, and yours could be next.
