The Glow Paradise Gemmayze

I am absolutely obsessed with this café. I am American tourist visiting there, and I have come to glow paradise every single day to the past three days. First off, the staff was so incredibly friendly unhelpful. One of the servers was named Sarah and she gave me a great recommendation. Everybody else I interacted with was also very kind and helpful. This was my first time trying to coffee that was sweetened with no food and it is absolutely delicious. I literally ordered the glow coffee every single day, with oil, and the monkey sleep there, because it seriously taste like dessert and it’s only 35 Calories. I haven’t tried to move options yet, but I try to be wet, and I try to be avocado bowl, and both were absolutely delicious. I plan to come back through several more times to try some of the other items on the menu because everything looks incredibly fresh and healthy, and even the Lebanese food is delicious, I can often be very hard to be healthy. Simply amazing, I also tried one of their juices, and it had an insane labor to it. I can’t wait to come back again again.

The Glow Paradise in Gemmayze is a stylish new coffee spot that offers a great mix of quality and ambiance. We went there for coffee and desserts—the coffee was good, the desserts were delicious, and the interior is thoughtfully designed. Despite the upscale vibe, the pricing is fair, making it accessible without feeling over-the-top. All in all, it’s a lovely addition to the neighborhood and definitely worth a visit for a cozy coffee break or a sweet treat.

The Glow is perfectly located on the busy street of Gemmayze. You can enjoy the indoor area with individual tables or one large communal table, which encourages mingling with other visitors; a great idea for integration and socialization. The design of the space is spot on. Light beige tones dominate the interior, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. They also have an outdoor area, perfect if you love enjoying your meal while watching the lively street go by. Now, the food…it’s absolutely delicious! I tried items from the new menu today. The beef platter from the “Athletes” section was incredible. The chicken quesadillas were top-notch, and the chicken nuggets were the best I’ve ever had; not oily, perfectly crispy on the outside, and soft and tender like a patty on the inside. For dessert, the banana bread was superb! This place is a must-visit. And let’s not forget the professional, friendly, and welcoming staff; they truly make the experience even better!

Such a lovely spot — beautifully designed and perfect whether you’re grabbing coffee, a drink, or getting some work done. I worked here for several hours and honestly, they have some of the comfiest chairs and most reliable WiFi I’ve found in Beirut (plus, electricity cuts are super rare, I hope I don’t jinx it). Food-wise, it’s a healthy menu and I loved the Brekkie Burrito Wrap. Their coffee and tea are great. Lastly, the staff are awesome; special shout-out to Dany, Bashar, and Matt for making my experience even better!

Their protein Greek yogurt bowl is my absolute favorite, along with the Glow coffee — both are a must-try
