illy Café opens at Al Forsan Village Town Square

A cup of coffee is about to take on a whole new meaning in terms of sense, taste and style as illy Café opens its oulet at the Al Forsan Village ‘Town Square’. Illy Café, the leading global company in the high-quality coffee industry, is all set to create a multidimensional experience with their coffee in Abu Dhabi. The coffee served by Illy Café is a blend of nine of the highest quality Arabica beans sourced exclusively from four continents apart from their delicious Italian desserts in the new emerging community centre. According to a 2016 survey, 82% of the UAE population consumes coffee every day for an energy boost or merely for relaxation.

 

Francesco Illy, known today across the world as the man behind the modern blend of coffee that brought traditional flavours to today’s palettes, is bringing his signature blends to Abu Dhabi. The Italian brand, specialising in the production of espresso, has its presence in over 140 countries and now aims to introduce their smooth and rich coffee to coffee drinkers in the UAE. The illy Cafe in Abu Dhabi will allow coffee enthusiasts to endear their taste buds to its unique signature blend of coffee at Al Forsan Village Town Square.

 

Besides illy Café, the brands at the Town Square include Spinneys Hypermarket, Holland & Barrett, Al Manara Pharmacy, JustKidding, Grand Optics, Street9 Cafe, Oregano Cafe, Dantel & More, Coffee Club, Physiomins, Tilia Flowers, Reem Al Bawadi, Champion Cleaners, B&Y Electronics and Cheeky Monkeys. Other utility service providers including an Etisalat kiosk is also open. Al Forsan Village is Abu Dhabi’s first active health focused mixed-use development.

 

The retail space at the Town Square has been meticulously designed to accomplish a number of requirements which includes addressing the resident’s retail needs by providing a complete gated community experience. The planning of the project is developed on a series of concentric semi-circle housing arrangement, providing easy access to the retail destination and all its facilities.

 

In 1933, in Trieste, Italy, the Adriatic port town where coffee first entered Europe, Francesco Illy created the espresso machine and the rest as they say, is a cup of history – like the illy brand of contemporary coffee – rich, velvety and full-bodied. Served in more than 100,000 public establishments, illy around the world means more than 6 million cups are consumed each day.

 

The Al Forsan Village project includes a broad mix of accommodation types to suit different lifestyles and family requirements, from comfortable and easily managed apartments to truly substantial and luxurious detached villas for extended family living. It is the right destination for those who are looking for a premium luxury focused residential address in the region.

 

Al Forsan Real Estate; the property arm of Al Forsan Holding, develops mixed-use communities that support active lifestyle through the integration of world class sporting facilities. Al Forsan Village is home to several nationalities and has seen growing interest from various local and international investors from across the globe.
