Our Story
Rain is a haven for those who appreciate the craft of specialty coffee, the warmth of community, and a space that feels like home.
Who We Are
Rain was founded with a single, clear vision: to create a specialty cafe that does not compromise. Nestled in the heart of Al Nahyan, Zone 1, Abu Dhabi, Rain is a destination for those who seek more from their daily coffee ritual — more flavor, more care, and more connection.
The name Rain is intentional. Like rain nourishes the earth, we believe a truly great cup of coffee can restore, refresh, and ground you. Every detail inside Rain — from the curated playlist to the precise water temperature used in each pour over — reflects that belief.
Our baristas are trained craftspeople who take pride in every extraction, every micro-foam, and every latte art pour. We source beans from ethical, sustainable farms and build direct relationships with our suppliers to ensure quality from origin to cup.
Every bean we use scores 80+ on the Specialty Coffee Association scale. We do not serve anything less than exceptional.
Each drink is prepared with precision and care. No shortcuts, no compromises — just coffee the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
We are proud to be part of the Al Nahyan community, serving residents and visitors who appreciate quality in every form.
What Drives Us
Everything we do at Rain is guided by three principles that are woven into the fabric of every cup we serve and every moment you spend with us.
Quality is not optional at Rain — it is the foundation. From the sourcing of our green beans to the final presentation of your drink, we hold ourselves to the highest standards at every single step.
Rain is more than a cafe — it is a gathering place. We foster a warm, inclusive environment where regulars become friends, conversations flow freely, and everyone feels genuinely welcome.
We believe the environment is as important as what is in your cup. Rain is designed to be a refuge — calm, comfortable, and carefully curated so you can exhale the moment you walk in.
Words can only go so far. The best way to understand what Rain is about is to visit us on Mohammed Bin Khalifa Street in Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi, and let us make you something wonderful.
