Our Story

A founder's passion,
poured into every cup

Since 1965, the Qazzaz family has carried a founder's passion — forged in Palestine, deepened in Brazil, and poured into every cup we craft in Allen Park, Michigan.

Established 1965

Established in 1965, our esteemed founder, Anwar Qazzaz Abu Dawood, rooted a profound passion for gourmet coffee. In the 1950s, he explored the coffee-rich lands of Brazil — immersing himself in the intricacies of coffee beans, diverse assortments, and distinct coffee farms.

Where the story begins

The story of Qazzaz Coffee begins not in a café, but on the lush coffee farms of Brazil. Our founder, Anwar Qazzaz Abu Dawood, traveled to Brazil in the 1950s carrying a deep reverence for coffee — a drink woven into the fabric of his culture for generations. There, he didn't just taste coffee; he studied it. He walked the farms, learned the soil, and understood what separates a forgettable cup from an unforgettable one.

That knowledge, gathered across two continents and a lifetime of dedication, became the foundation of Qazzaz Coffee when it was established in 1965. Every roast we craft today carries that spirit — the belief that coffee is a craft worth pursuing without compromise.

Today in Allen Park, we carry that legacy forward. Every bean we serve is sourced with intention and roasted in-house, honoring Abu Dawood's commitment to quality. We're more than a café — we're a neighborhood anchor where regulars are greeted by name and guests sometimes drive 90 minutes just to be here.
