Coffee refined by a life well lived: Inside the world of MRJADE
When Jade Şen founded MRJADE Holding, it began as a vision of excellence rooted in culture, precision and long-term strategy. Now known simply as MRJADE, the Turkish-German entrepreneur has expanded far beyond real estate to create one of Europe’s most refined lifestyle brands. His latest venture, MRJADE Coffee, has swiftly become more than a café; it represents a philosophy.
From his early twenties, MRJADE demonstrated a rare ability to identify undervalued potential and transform it into lasting value. With investments spanning Istanbul, Paris, Monaco, Dubai, New York and Düsseldorf, he has spent more than two decades quietly building a €72 million portfolio founded on clarity, discipline and emotional connection. That same clarity now informs every cup of coffee served under the MRJADE name.
Brewing more than a beverage
MRJADE Coffee launched its flagship café in Downtown Dubai in 2025, just steps from the Burj Khalifa. Rather than following trends, the brand focused on creating an environment that radiates calm, elegance and intention. The architecture draws on minimalist design principles, pairing soft textures and warm lighting with neutral palettes to create a space where each guest can pause and reset.
The coffee, roasted in Istanbul using AI-calibrated technology, is sourced from high-altitude regions in Panama, Costa Rica, Brazil and Colombia. Every batch is small, every extraction consistent. The result is a product that reflects the brand’s core values: balance, integrity and sophistication.
MRJADE often describes coffee as more than a drink. It is regarded as a medium for memory, connection and self-awareness—a philosophy that has become the foundation of a global franchise movement.
A franchise model built for identity
Following the overwhelming response to its Dubai debut, MRJADE Coffee launched its international franchise programme with a focus on quality over quantity. Rather than rapid expansion, the brand offers a tightly managed model that prioritises design fidelity and sensory consistency.
The franchise system offers two main formats. The MRJADE Coffee Shop is a full-scale concept for flagship urban locations, while the MRJADE Kiosk is a space-efficient capsule designed for high-traffic areas such as airports, malls and business districts.
Every franchise partner is selected based not only on financial capacity but also on shared values. The application process includes brand immersion sessions and design alignment. Training is comprehensive and ongoing. While each location may offer minor local adaptations, the menu’s core elements—espresso-based classics, single-origin pour overs and the signature Turkish roast—remain uniform across all markets.
From Istanbul to Düsseldorf, Doha to New York, the mission is not to be the biggest coffee chain. It is to be the most meaningful.
A brand with depth
What makes MRJADE Coffee stand out in a saturated landscape is its unwavering focus on emotion and environment. Every store is more than a place to consume. It is a place to reconnect—with oneself, with others, with the present moment.
At the heart of it all is MRJADE , a figure defined by refined taste, cultural awareness and quiet confidence. The ability to translate personal philosophy into physical space has shaped not only a brand but a global movement. That clarity of vision is what gives MRJADE Coffee its character.
The MRJADE brand is not loud. It is intentional. Its expansion strategy is centred on urban centres that appreciate refined design, personal ritual and cultural storytelling. Franchise requests are currently being evaluated across Europe, the Gulf region and North America.
For those seeking more than caffeine, for those seeking clarity, purpose and presence in every detail, MRJADE Coffee is not simply opening locations. It is curating experiences.
