Gloria Jeans in Dhanmondi

In 1979, an American couple named Gloria Jean Cavetko & Ed started the journey of Gloria Jeans Coffees. In 1996 the first Australian Gloria Jean's Coffees store was opened in Miranda, Sydney which brought it recognition as an international brand. After serving 39 countries with the unrivaled taste and alluring smell of coffee with its 1100 outlets Gloria Jeans started their operation in Dhaka in 2012. Their first outlet opened in Gulshan and now the second branch of Gloria Jeans Coffees has finally been inaugurated in Dhanmondi.
This month, Gloria Jeans opened their Dhanmondi doors to the patrons who have for so long impatiently awaited a branch closer than the one in Gulshan. Ironically enough, the impatience was only noticed when the new branch was inaugurated. Even without a heavy advertising campaign announcing Gloria Jeans arrival, the locals of Dhanmondi were already abuzz. And the fact that the place was nearly full on the very first week is testament to how much a niche Gloria Jeans has carved for itself.
The Dhanmondi branch mimics the original as close to possible, as expected of any franchise. The décor is coffee-hued rustic, dotted with cozy seating arrangements. The menu is the same as the one in Gulshan and surprisingly so is the taste. Gloria Jeans maintains the freshness in every bite and brew here as it does all the world over. Although the Dhanmondi branch may not be as expansive, there are enough nooks and crannies to shelter you from the noise when all you need is a good book, a good friend and a good cup of coffee.
Visit the latest branch of Gloria Jeans to see what all the fuss is about if you haven't already. Coffee isn't their only specialty; Gloria Jeans serves up an environment desired by foodies, intellectuals and loud friends alike. If it's a respite you are looking from the regular Dhanmondi café scene, then Gloria Jeans is the place to be.
